become a leading international academic publisher. With offices

South Asia related journal, South Asia: Journal
of South Asian Studies, will soon be introduced. They are
only available for subscribers (in print or online), but for every

South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies has been
published since 1971 by the South Asian Studies Association of Australia
(SASA), based at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia,
and the publishing has only recently been taken over by Carfax.
South Asian History and Culture, launched in 2010, offers a forum that will provide an integrated perspective on the field at large. The journal aims to bring together research on South Asia in the humanities and social sciences, and to provide scholars with a platform covering, but not restricted to, their particular fields of interest and specialization. Such an approach is critical to any expanding field of study, for the development of more informed and broader perspectives, and of more overarching theoretical conceptions.
