South Asia today is amongst the world's poorest and simultaneously richest rehions. Plagued with poverty and violence, yet endowed with stunning beauty and a rich cultural heritage. When India and Pakistan entered the nuclear club, the region overnight became the world's 'most dangerous' place to live in. But the hostility between India and Pakistan - which frequently dominates world headlines - tend to skew international perceptions of the region. This limited perception relegates other South Asian issues to sidelines. South Asia is home to more than one billion people, dozens of religions and faiths, several races and hundred of languages. Alternative Media - Unconventional Journalists Two South Asian journalists- Ibrahim Sajid Malick (from Pakistan) and Pramilla Srivastava (of Indian origin) have been married for over 18 years - collaborating on news stories, short documentaries, print and on-line journalism.

You know what you guys need? You need a form that people can print out or digitally fill out and then forward on to their TV/cable provider to ask that they start carrying FSTV.

I don't get FSTV and now I'm going to write out a request and mail it to my cable provider asking them to consider picking up FSTV.

What I'm saying is if you did most of the work for your users and all they had to do was put their name in and copy/paste the letter to their provider you would probably have a decent response you know?
