http://himalmag.com/component/content/article/5083-black-belt.html Himal has a print and on line editions. It is extremely well-regarded, like Time Magazine or Indonesian Tempo. Dixit who wrote the article about Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the Rohingya is the founder/chief editor. Last year they commissioned an article from me - which I titled Potemkin Politics. KMK
