South Asian Cultural Studies (SACS) is a double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access international journal that has been in publication since its inaugural issue in 2006. The broad aim of SACS is to generate dialogue and exchange of ideas among academics, writers, and researchers in the humanities and social sciences, guided by the following objectives:

Address constructions of identity, particularly national, ethnic, religious and gender identities, within contexts of the evolving social, cultural and political tensions in modern South Asian nations.

Critical analysis of the relationships between culture, environment and changing political economies in South Asia. Critical engagement with and assessment of dominant discourses and modes of representations.

Consideration of the cultural exchanges between South Asia and the wider world which takes into account the colonial encounter as a defining event in the histories of both South Asia and the West.

Assess the role of popular culture (disseminated through cinema, television, sport etc.) and its potential to aggravate or defuse situations of political or social crisis.

Interrogate the impact of traditional cultural practices on the evolution of diasporic communities, including transnational cultures, and their changing relationships within specific and distinct host communities.
