Works brought out by smaller groups and presses have often found it difficult to distribute their works without getting involved in larger commercial distribution systems. The Internet provides an alternative. A work that is up on the Internet, if it is properly linked up to search engines, can potentially reach a large audience, both regionally and internationally. We are cognizant of the fact that most activists and academics in South Asia still do not have access to the Internet. However, many people have email.
Email serves as an effective vehicle for electronic distribution in South Asia.
