Dear Reader,

The ASIAN STUDIES WWW MONITOR
(including all its subsidiary (and/or sister) pages on "coombs.anu.edu.au" server) has permanently ceased its publishing operations on Friday 21st January 2011.

All of the online resources reported here have been thoroughly checked at the time of their listing. However, it is possible that, with the with the passage of time, many of the originally reported materials might have been removed from the Internet, or changed their online address, or varied the scope and quality of their contents.

Fortunately, in several cases it is possible to access many of the older versions of the resources listed in the MONITOR. This can be easily done via the free services of the "The Internet Archive" http://web.archive.org/, a remarkable brainchild of Brewster Kahle, San Francisco, CA.

- with warm regards -

The Southasia Trust, Kathmandu, Nepal

Supplied note:
"In the cover feature of the Himal Southasian March - April 2006 issue, we have charted the course of two forms of extremism in Nepal, scrutinising the continuing warfare and sudden democracy deficit in the country where we are based. We also present articles on Darjeeling/Sikkim, Balochistan, remittance trends, regional cinema and much more. - vs."
Self-description: "Himal Southasian is Southasia's first and only regional magazine. [...] Independent, non-nationalist, pan-regionalist - Himal tells Indians and Nepalis about Pakistanis and Afghanis, Sri Lankans and Burmese about Tibetans and Maldivians, and the rest of the world about this often-overlooked region. Critical analysis, commentary, opinion, essays and reviews - covering regional trends in politics and economics with the same perspective as culture and history, Himal stories don't stop at national borders, but are followed wherever they lead."
