The idea of Southasia is taking root, and there is a need for more coverage than ever before to respond quicker to events and trends with in-depth commentary and analysis. Keeping this in mind, as of January 2012, Himal Southasian is changing its format and frequency. It will henceforth be an online magazine, while we will also be coming out with a theme-based quarterly print periodical. 

The December 2011 issue of Himal Southasian was thus our last monthly print edition. The readers with pending subscriptions will be contacted individually and presented with some options. In the meantime, the online edition of Himal Southasian will remain free to readers. Watch this space as we evolve and expand our coverage over the next two months.
