Dear All:

The Editors invite you to submit a paper for an edited book on Korean Wave (K-Wave) in India. The anthology will be published from a reputed publication house and will probably be the first book on K-Wave (Hallyu) in India. We welcome articles from faculties, independent scholars, researchers, journalists and fans who are doing research or eloquently writing on this topic.

As K-Wave has become a phenomenon in Indian popular culture for some years, it has generated several voices with different views and understanding. The K-Wave as popular culture, which has erupted from the Northeastern India, is now spread throughout the country, playing a significant role in transcending the mainstream understanding of culture. The ever evolving wave is even viewed as the resistance of the Northeastern people against the mainstream mainland culture. Though the intriguing K-Wave has generated significant media glare but it is still in a nascent stage as an issue of academic churning. This books aims to provide a platform for researchers, fans and journalists to present their passion, research and developments in this area. Areas of interest for this book include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Music and the Korean Wave Negotiating Conflict and the Korean Wave The Korean Wave and Fashion The Korean Wave and Foreign Policy Film and the Korean Wave K-Drama viewership in India
