Himal is like no other imprint in Southasia: it combines a deep commitment to longform narrative journalism with insightful reporting on and analysis of Southasian regionalism.

Himal Southasian has been a unique forum for academics, public intellectuals and journalists to talk to each other about Southasia.

There is simply no other intellectual or literary forum remotely like it. For more than twenty-five years now, Himal has been an indispensable aid to my understanding of India, Southasia, and the world.

Himal fills a much-needed gap in providing comparative and astute analysis of social and political developments across Southasia.

Himal is a labour of love, inspired by the belief that despite wars and borders and a line of control, Southasians still share expressions of hope and fear… melodrama and cricket, and much more.

Himal is essential reading for those either living in, or researching on, Southasia.
