The South Asian Sensibility is a collection of some of the best articles published over the past 25 years in Himal Southasian, South Asia`s first and foremost regional news and analysis magazine. The essays are fine examples of long-form journalism, a form that Himal has pioneered in South Asia.
Intended to mark the 25th anniversary of the magazine, the book argues for a regional sensibility when looking at issues in the subcontinent. The effort, throughout, is to look at issues from a humanist and progressive viewpoint with a strong emphasis on human rights. The select articles, while discussing topics such as nationalism, regionalism, insurgency, human rights, social and cultural matters, reflect one common aspect that Himal has striven to promote throughout its existence, i.e., to view the entire South Asian region as a single, holistic entity even while respecting the integrity of its component parts. isbn
