Where are all the Indians?

Thanks for the reply. Firstly the online shop is via a secure socket layer SSL and so there is no problem with fraud. This would be the same for all countries and yet India is alone in their non-subscription.

It is true that not everyone goes into sports medicine, however as people can see form the articles already posted on this forum the content is actually relevant to anyone who does treat nearly any patient. But you might have a point that this needs to be conveyed more to the users that this magazine is for ALL conveyed and other Allied Health Professionals.

CPD is not mandatory in most countries, yet it is something everyone working in conveyed would do as part of life, not just because we have to. I was subscribing to many PT magazines from 2nd year of undergraduate training.

As for other methods of payment, we will add paypal shortly. People can also send a money order or bank draft in UK pounds. Juts email us via the contact us link on the shop. Overall however I believe most of your comments are the same for African countries and other Asian countries. It doesn't quite account for India in isolation.

Any other thoughts?

One more point- Indians are poor reader including me. Many even don't read physiotherapy association journals then how can we expect to read other magazines

Would there be a place for these publications to be translated into your language? Are there many languages spoken in India that are only understood by there local community, or is there one major language that all would be able to read? I am sure that if there enough interested people, and if they were willing to subscribe to some of the publications, then perhaps we might consider translating a few articles as a test run.

Hmm...nice idea but every physio know and study in english. speaking in english is order of the day so i don't think this will work (my guess). come to India convince students and therapist in colleges and universities will work. once few started buying it will spread like wildfire.

Maybe you can suggest a large annual conference we might sponsor with a free copy for every reader?
