Topic

Home to a diverse range of states and polities, South Asia is a region of many contrasts. Despite significant economic ‘development’ over the past few decades, the region continues to be plagued by various social and political issues. Furthermore, these depictions of progress often undermine the actual realities of live in the region. We believe that, with the widespread proliferation of social media and telecommunications technology, old narratives are breaking down in the face of social media and telecommunications technology, the voices of youth are becoming more prominent in society. Therefore, INDePth seeks to open a genuine dialogue on the nature of ‘modernity’ through engaging with youth identities and culture.
