“Jasoos Zinda Hai” represents a concerted effort to sustain the enduring and widely appreciated genre of crime fiction and detective series. In recent times, there has been a noticeable dearth of new writers and contributors within this genre, particularly in Hindi literature. This trend is not confined to Hindi alone, as even in the English literary landscape, the emergence of fresh names has been sparse on bookstore shelves. Fiction enthusiasts find themselves relying predominantly on classics and the limited array of available books within this genre, with many dedicated fans repeatedly revisiting familiar works.
In the Hindi literary sphere, a significant void has persisted in terms of authors and publishers specializing in crime fiction and detective series. The era of pocket book series has waned, as the publishing industry has pursued alternative avenues for financial gain through book sales. Similar to various other industries and professions, a nexus has evolved to maximize profits, involving collusion with officials and leveraging government resources to facilitate the sale of books, whether physically or merely on paper. The missionary spirit among both writers and publishers has dwindled.
The advent of online sales has further disrupted the supply chain for pocket books, resulting in additional shipping charges and a subsequent escalation of already elevated book prices. Nevertheless, there remains an unwavering fan base for crime and detective fiction. This website endeavors to take a modest stride in the direction of supporting and promoting new authors within this genre. Accordingly, we extend an invitation for your contributions, which will undergo editorial evaluation before being featured on the site. We aim to sustain this initiative with your support and cooperation, encouraging you to freely share your work for consideration.”
