Kank Mani Dixit, editor of Himal South Asian magazine, who was recently harassed by the Nepali government for his progressive politics wrote in with some good news.
The magazine that had closed down a while ago has been injected with some newfound energy. The zine begins distribution again in October 2005. [Update: I previously stated that the Nepali government was behind the closure. I received a note from Kanak today telling me that it was the lack of funds that shut the zine down in the first place.]
If you are in Nepal, Kanak also welcomes journalists and well-wishers for a tea party kicking off the July-August 2005 ‘coming out' issue of Himal Southasian.
Time: 5 pm, Thursday, 30 June
Place: Yala Maya Kendra, Patan Dhoka
Event: Tea, plus a copy of Himal
It's great to see Himal magazine again in circulation. If you would like the free July 2005 copy please write to distribution[at]himalmag[dot]com. Please support high caliber South Asian journalism.
