Mission Statement

Why does Asia-Major want a domain and website in a world where a zillion such sites exist already, doing every single thing and where every business model has been thought about and exploited?

We have attempted to design a clean, user friendly, largely graphic-free site whose main aim is stated below:

THIS IS YOUR SPACE!  Archive or showcase your work for FREE!

Are you a writer, a poet, a critic, a journalist churning out quality writing each day for the media to make a living? Here is what happens to it.  The day after its appearance, even if it was the talk of the town, it disappears forever from view. The paper in which it was printed would probably be used to wrap fish & chips or more appropriately Dosa & Bhaji.

When a well known poet-writer-journalist died a few years ago, another poet lamented the fact that with the passing away of such people all that is left is what is published and above the parapet whilst the rest is swept away and lost forever, Even published journalism is treated as mere ephemera and even if published online becomes unavailable with the passage of time. A whole lot of good journalism rendered before the days of the universal use of the Internet in any case remains un-digitized and unavailable as a resource for friends and family, admirers, researchers and biographers & your potential publishers. Our idea is to archive and make available for instant viewing of all that could be saved and shown from a website with a simple URL address. If you are a gifted and talented writer you merit such an archival treatment.

This is YOUR SPACE:  CLAIM IT !  

Asia-major website provides the platform to which you upload the work that you believe needs to be preserved. This is not a vanity publishing venture. Asia-Major does not wish to be a publisher or an editor. The views expressed in these writers? contributions are entirely their own and do not reflect the views of Asia-Major which in any case is a neutral repository and NOT a publisher.

For the time being, no payment is sought and no payment made to the contributor, writer or his estate. The writer or his estate remains the copyright holders. Asia-major acts merely as a window to showcase the work which might otherwise be lost. This allows a writer to show his past work to a whole host of people including his current readers, researchers, biographers, and prospective publishers without having to go the effort of setting up a domain name or a single?occupant Blogsite and design a website around it. With Asia Major hopefully the writer would be in good company of many distinguished writers.

CLAIM YOUR SPACE - SHARE YOUR BLOGS !

Asia-Major reserves the right to refuse to accept contributions without giving a reason.

However such an idealistic project needs support. It needs good contributors to come forward and offer their work for free. To enable Asia Major come up in page ranking in search engines like Google, it needs cross links from other friendly websites. Cross link with http://www.asia-major.com. - a unique site as a one stop resource on all things Indian & an archive showcase of some fine writing.
