South Asia Journal for Culture
The South Asia Journal is an annual refereed journal published jointly by the Colombo Institute and the Theertha International Artists’ Collective. It is open to scholarship and exchange of ideas across the region and beyond, on issues that are of central importance to the region that fall under the key term ‘culture’.
The idea of the journal is to enhance access of South Asian writers to a journal that is regionally managed and published and is responsive to intellectual needs, interests and concerns covered by the thematic focus of ‘culture’. The term is broadly defined to encompass contributions from more conventional disciplinary parameters such as sociology, social anthropology, history, archeology, art history and cultural studies to the more specific domains of ‘art’ such as theatre, visual arts, architecture, film, music, dance and literature.
Below is the cover of Issue 1 of the South Asia Journal for Culture and its contents.

This is just a comment which I am posing with regards to the freely available articles on this website. Through the unlimited possibilty of accessing them, you are opening all avenues for plagiarism to take place. All scholarly articles (like on Sage, Jstor) need subcriptions to be read but this is freely accessible and I believe therefore dangerous.
A suggestion I do have is maybe you can include the titles and ask for people to request the articles from you. Or ask them to order the book in the first place.
