If you are serious about building a collection, here is a step-by-step guide to finding them.
Believe it or not, specific vintage issues are worth money. The very first issue from 1968 is a collector’s holy grail. Issues featuring special covers (e.g., Indian Independence Day, the 1983 Cricket World Cup) or discontinued series (like the "Vikram-Betal" or "Tenali Raman" specials) command high prices on eBay and OLX.
In cities like Mumbai (Crawford Market), Delhi (Daryaganj Sunday Book Market), and Bengaluru (Avenue Road), there are pavement sellers who deal in "old periodicals." You can often find bundles of Champak for as little as ₹10 per issue. You have to dig through dust, but the treasure is there.
If you just want to read the stories and don't need the physical smell, the Internet Archive hosts several scanned copies of Champak from the 1990s. Search for "Champak 1995 PDF." This is the fastest way to access the content.
Delhi Press used to sell back issues at their office in Noida. It is worth calling their customer service to see if they have any "dead stock" left in the godown. Often, they hold onto bound volumes (yearly compilations) that are not sold in retail.
Finding physical copies from 1992 is not as easy as walking into a bookstore. You have to hunt.
