This afternoon I will be attending the launch of South Asia Masala the latest addition to the blog stable here at the ANU.
South Asia Masala aims to deliver a true masala of interdisciplinary analysis that spans political, economic, cultural, social, developmental and strategic issues emanating from the region.
South Asia Masala’s central raison d’être is to cultivate academic debate on the region both within and beyond Australia. In doing so, it hopes to encourage a deeper understanding of South Asian people and cultures. Australia’s engagement with South Asia, especially India, is expanding rapidly and our hope is to play a role in consolidating regional expertise by inviting experts from the ANU and further afield to explore the subcontinent in a manner that is stimulating, at times even provocative, and most of all, accessible to the broader public.
They’ve got a great line-up of writers, so place them on your regular blog list.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
