South Asia Research is an international, multidisciplinary forum which covers the history, politics, law, economics, sociology, visual culture, languages and literature of all countries in South Asia. We publish both work of a more theoretical nature as well as detailed empirical studies by emerging and established scholars from around the world.

Founded in 1980 by young activist researchers at SOAS, University of London, the Journal now attracts a huge number of submissions and follows a rigorous double blind peer review process. Over the years, the editorial team has sought to maintain the Journal’s original focus on promoting the work of young scholars, the next generation of South Asia Area Studies specialists, now a global community with a strong diasporic presence. In the context of decolonisation and the decentring of knowledge, South Asia Research has recognised the need for promoting New Area Studies as a truly interdisciplinary arena not constrained by national boundaries. The Journal has consistently committed itself to empowering the (g)local rather than privileging global neo-colonial forces. Over the years, it has also cultivated new clusters of regional expertise and specific, newly intersecting forms of interdisciplinary scholarship. Consequently, detailed empirical studies have gained prominence, and the Journal increasingly features complex issues of socio-economic and political relevance. Activist engagement with often deeply contested new themes in the study of contemporary South Asia also motivates our collective education-centric efforts to find a viable balance between Social Sciences and Arts subjects.

The Journal constantly updates its operating procedures and has built an expansive profile, growing from two issues per year to three parts, with more pages and a lively Book Reviews section. Run by a truly interdisciplinary team of Editors and Assistant Editors, it is supported by an Editorial Committee and an International Advisory Board.
