(I-Newswire) - This week marked the launch of Desicritics.org ( http://desicritics.org ), a new English-language online magazine and community in which South Asian bloggers, writers from the Diaspora, and those with a passion for South Asian news, commentary, reviews, and interviews come together on a global platform in which writers and readers alike can interact, inform, discuss, hash out new ideas, and make purchases.
Desicritics come from all parts of the globe – from Carrollton, Texas to Calcutta, India – with the mission of providing readers with high quality news, opinions, and reviews enmeshed with the funky, eclectic, and personality-driven flavor of the blogosphere, all in one Desi-riffic package!
The colloquial term for people from South Asia is "desi." This has rich connotations and familiarity for South Asians. In an article about the South Asian party scene in the Big Apple, New York Times reporter Somini Sengupta described the word as a "Hindi version of homeboy or homegirl" ( NYT, 6/30/96: "To Be Young, Indian and Hip" ).
The wave of globalization has increased the visibility and importance of regions like South Asia, but at the same time the cultural milieu is poorly understood globally and the facts on the ground remain abstract for many. Thus, the insight into the South Asian dynamic afforded by Desicritics.org will be of vital interest across the planet.
Desicritics.org covers media, popular culture, politics, sports and much more with a South Asian focus. A full-featured RSS 2.0 feed provides on demand access to a steady flow of news and information on South Asia. More than 100 noted South Asian bloggers and writers from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the Diaspora in the United States, United Kingdom, and elsewhere have already signed on.

Comfortably Numb: "On January 26th, the Indian blogosphere made its most concerted effort yet at bringing together the opinions that matter. Desipundit was a great effort, but it just cannot keep up with the pace. It needed a more regulated effort. I think Desicritics fills that void."
