About The Himalayan Dak
The Himalayan Dak is the first-ever newsletter to monitor India-China affairs on a weekly basis. The newsletter seeks to focus on politics, economy, society, and culture among other things. The newsletter is published on a weekly basis and is currently subscribed to by scholars, academicians, and professionals.
About the Call For Submission
The Himalayan Dak is broadening its horizons and inviting fresh perspectives from our diverse readership. They are now accepting short opinion pieces of no more than 600 words on any topic concerning India, China, or their neighbouring countries. While geopolitical issues are welcome, they strongly encourage submissions that explore other facets of contemporary affairs in these regions.
They believe that by broadening their scope, they can foster a more comprehensive understanding of the complex and dynamic realities of this region. Whether you’re a seasoned expert, a keen observer, or someone with a unique story to tell, they welcome your voice. This is your opportunity to shape the conversation and contribute to a more nuanced dialogue about the countries that form the heart of Asia.
Themes
They’re particularly interested in pieces that shed light on cultural trends, social movements, technological advancements, environmental challenges, economic developments, or unique local initiatives. Your submission could focus on urban transformation in tier-two cities, the impact of digital platforms on rural economies, emerging art scenes, innovations in sustainable agriculture, or evolving education systems.
The key requirement is that your piece must contribute something new to the discourse. We’re looking for original insights, fresh analyses, or unique perspectives that go beyond summarizing past events or rehashing well-known narratives. Your submission should aim to challenge conventional wisdom, offer innovative solutions, or highlight under-reported issues.
