The South Asian Sensibility: A Himal Reader is a collection of some of the best articles published over the past 25 years in Himal Soutasian, 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.
