Himal Southasian

Himal Southasian is published and distributed by The Southasia Trust, Lalitpur, Nepal.

Edited and published by Kanak Mani Dixit, Himal Southasian is Southasia's first and only regional magazine. Stretching from Afghanistan to Burma, from Tibet to the Maldives, this region of more than 1.4 billion people shares great swathes of interlocking geography, culture and history. Yet today neighbouring countries can barely talk to one another, much less speak in a common voice. For two decades, Himal Southasian has strived to nurture, define and amplify that voice.

Independent, non-nationalist, pan-regionalist -- Himal tells Indians and Nepalis about Pakistanis and Afghans, Sri Lankans and Burmese about Tibetans and Maldivians, and the rest of the world about this often-overlooked region. Critical analysis, commentary, opinion, essays and reviews -- covering regional trends in politics and economics with the same perspective as culture and history, Himal stories don't stop at national borders, but are followed wherever they lead. The Digital Himalaya project team based in Kathmandu have scanned and digitised back issues of this journal, and are delighted to be the online hosts for the PDF archive.
