In this episode, we talk about the recent cases of attack on and intimidation of journalists in Southasia, particularly in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Myanmar. In ‘Around Southasia in 5 minutes', we’ll be looking at stories of environmental crises in Sri Lanka and Nepal, a currency-swap deal between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and China’s land grab in Bhutan, among other topics. Plus our culture section Bookmarked, where we discuss Southasian archives and a Hindi-language movie about a ‘monkey repeller’.
