The South Asian Author Challenge
Swapna Krishna started the South Asian Challenge in 2010 because she wanted to do more to promote the literature and authors of South Asia.
There are two requirements for a book to qualify for the South Asian Author Challenge:
2) The book must be about South Asia in some way. It doesn’t have to be set in South Asia, as long as it’s about the culture or history in some way. On the other hand, it can be set in South Asia and not be about South Asians.
It is a year long challenge starting on the 1st of January, 2010 and ending on 31st December, 2010. You can sign up for the 2011 South Asian Author Challenge, but it’s not too late to sign up for the 2010 challenge. You can sign up any time after the challenge begins so it’s not too late to start reading!

There are four different commitment levels at which you can sign up: three books, five books, seven books, or ten books. You can sign up at any of these levels, and you can move up if you find you just love South Asian authors and want to read more of them than you expected!
This is a virtual challenge so it doesn’t matter where you are, you can still sign up for it.
