A Mag full of stories

I grew up on a regular diet of children's magazines- Champak, Chandamama, Nandan, Nanhe Samrat, Pankhariyaan etc. After eighth or so, I read 'Suman Saurabh' religiously. When I grew up further, the magazines dried up. The only youth mag that I knew of in my college was JAM. And, it was not available in Chandigarh.

The previous generations of Indian writers had 'The Illustrated Weekly of India.' This magazine published Indian fiction in English. Now, there is no such magazine of repute! Except, The Little Magazine. This is how this magazine is described in its website:

"TLM is South Asia's only professionally produced independent print magazine devoted to essays, fiction, poetry, art and criticism. It is also the only publication to offer full-length novellas and film and drama scripts, complete with camera and stage directions."

Our family has subscribed to Punjabi Tribune since decades. This newspaper, like all all Punjabi newspapers, publishes stories and short stories once a week, usually on Sundays. But, English newspapers never publish fiction.

The Hindi women's magazines like Sarita, Vanita etc. carry stories but English magazines do not.

England has had a tradition of family magazines and literary magazines which serialized novels and published short stories. Most of the most famous writers of Europe started their careers from these publications.Charles Dickens published many of his novels in his own magazine-'Household Words', which was a weekly 'magazine for the whole family.' It contained fiction and discussions on family-related matters and also on the outside world. This is how Dickens described his goal:

“ We aspire to live in the Household affections, and to be numbered among the Household thoughts, of our readers. We hope to be the comrade and friend of many thousands of people, of both sexes, and of all ages and conditions, on whose faces we may never look. We seek to bring to innumerable homes, from the stirring world around us, the knowledge of many social wonders, good and evil, that are not calculated to render any of us less ardently persevering in ourselves, less faithful in the progress of mankind, less thankful for the privilege of living in this summer-dawn of time. ”
—-Charles Dickens

I am curious to know if any one of you too have observed the lack of fiction in English magazines and newspapers. And, if you have ever wished there was some place which was dedicated to presenting English fiction for the masses in India, an adult-version of 'Champak', so to say.
