_Call for Papers:_ South Asia was home to one of the ancient world's greatest achievements, the Indus Valley Civilization. Today South Asia is once again poised to become a world leader. The intervening 5,000 years have witnessed a remarkable story filled with transitions, tribulations and triumphs of the human spirit in every sphere of endeavor - political, economic, social and cultural. The SASA 2009 conference seeks to explore South Asia's myriad pasts, understand her present, and look forward to a future full of promise and hope yet inevitably characterized by still more transitions, tribulations and triumphs. We invite papers from all academic disciplines and all periods of time that address the rich tapestry that is South Asia's past, present and future. [...]
