I am thinking about shortening my project because as of right now it is too wide. Most likely i will just cover the areas of Nepal and India and the mixing of cultures which is taking place. I am going to focus mainly on religion and youth culture because I believe these aspects of society to be extremely important.
Searching in Annie under Asia, culture, modern I found many articles, but none of which really pertained to what I wanted to deal with: Nepal and India.

I found this under typing in Drugs, Asia. I doubt this will give me any information because it will deal with mostly opium which is part of the golden triangle: Burma, Laos, and Thailand.
The JSTOR didn’t really give me any leads either, so I think I am going to have to rely heavily on the internet, activist magazines, and personal knowledge for the youth culture part of my project. After reviewing my statement of my proposal, I think it would be too long to include other nations besides Nepal and India. I am thinking about just focusing on the mixing of cultures in Nepal and India. Maybe I will start off with the mixing of religions and slowly progress into the youth culture and the hippie community.
