Supplied note: "Some
of us (esp. based in Southasia) felt the need of having an e-list
and an open platform to discuss issues of significance, activism,
development work and share conference notices, research findings,
teaching materials, and highlight books and book reviews on South
Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and
the Maldives) hence Southasia_matters was founded [on 5 April 2006
