Reflecting on 2024 and Looking Ahead to 2025 with Shehjar
We wish our readers a wonderful and blessed year 2025. As we wrap up 2024, we do see more misses than hits from Shehjar. However, from its track record of about 18 years, and thousands of features contained in 109 Issues, Shehjar continues to stand as a beacon for cultural preservation, intellectual discourse, and community engagement.
