SAI - News
In these days Bangladesh celebrates the 40th anniversary of its declaration of independence. The German press reports almost nothing about it, one exception was an article in Spiegel Online (see below). The South Asia Institute of Heidelberg University would like to take this opportunity to call attention to some interesting web resources.
Many of these links are available at the SavifaGuide a database of internet resources on South Asia, which is a part of the Virtual Library South Asia located at the South Asia Institute. The next issue of the Savifa Newsletter will include a contribution from Hans-Martin Kunz with a detailed description and classification of the web resources listed here:
