Subject: new featured content on another subcontinent 


We are excited to announce the launch of the second phase of Another 
Subcontinent. Our homesite (http://www.anothersubcontinent.com) will now 
showcase original writing and works of art. The revamped site went live at 
midnight today and our first feature is an exhibition of art by a major 
Indian artist, and member of Another Subcontinent, Ranbir Kaleka. Please 
take a few moments to drop by the site and see why we are so excited about 
this exhibit. You can find details on upcoming features, and get a sense of 
our vision for the site's direction.

It has now been four months since the launch of the Another Subcontinent 
forums and the community has gone from strength to strength each week. We 
now have almost 200 members, most of whom have contributed a share of the 
almost 9000 posts since Aug. 2. We are proud of the fact that in this time 
of growing internet noise our forums serve as a model of stimulating, 
enjoyable and civil interaction.

The forums will continue to be the heart and soul of Another Subcontinent 
but now in addition to having a space for discussion of South Asian culture 
we will also provide space for South Asian artists and writers to present 
their work to the world. And, of course, the forums will provide a place to 
discuss this work among ourselves and with the featured artists and 
writers. (For a discussion of Ranbir Kaleka's art see:

This is an exciting time for us and we hope you will share our enthusiasm 
as we look forward to more wonderful features on the home site and more 
vibrant discussions on the forums.

Regards,

The Another Subcontinent team
