South Asia Journal was founded in 2012 by Syed Hussain, a Bangladeshi-American journalist and political analyst. Hussain established the online platform to provide in-depth analysis and commentary on South Asian affairs, recognizing a need for comprehensive coverage of the region's complex political, economic, and social issues. The idea was to create a space for diverse voices and perspectives on South Asian matters, catering to both regional and international audiences. Currently, South Asia Journal continues to be independently owned and operated by Syed Hussain and his team. Based in the United States but focusing on South Asian affairs, South Asia Journal covers a wide range of topics including politics, economics, security, human rights, and cultural issues across the South Asian region. The platform provides analysis on international relations, regional conflicts, and developmental challenges in countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Afghanistan. While not a traditional news outlet, South Asia Journal offers opinion pieces, policy analyses, and long-form articles that delve deep into the complexities of South Asian geopolitics and society. One interesting fact: South Asia Journal has a unique “Young Voices“ section that specifically features articles and opinions from emerging scholars, students, and young professionals from South Asian countries. This initiative aims to provide a platform for the next generation of thinkers and leaders to share their perspectives on regional issues, fostering a diverse and forward-looking dialogue on South Asian affairs.
