Politics, economy and human stories from the Himalayas

‘The Himalayan Arc’ anthology, edited by Namita Gokhale, is an insightful exploration of north-east India, Bhutan, Nepal and Myanmar.

With 37 authors contributing to ‘The Himalayan Arc’, the anthology straddles the realms of character-driven fiction and a broader examination of economics, politics and geographies in nonfiction. While the fictional stories in the book authentically capture the experiences of individuals from north-east India, Bhutan, Nepal and Myanmar amid shifting political and economic landscapes, the book doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the real-world impact on their lives.
