Chowk.com was a website with a focus on the current affairs, politics and cultural aspects of India and Pakistan. Its stated goal is to provoke readers go beyond soundbites and uncover the truth, however uncomfortable. It was also a magazine that aimed to promote discourse between people of the subcontinent on various issues which affected their lives. The site appeared to become stale in March 2012. Chowk was launched in 1997 on the 50th independence anniversary of India and Pakistan with the mission to promote and nurture independent voices that question, dissect and examine the social, political, religious and cultural moorings of that region. Chowk's founding team included Safwan Shah, Umair Khan, Saima Shah, Ginni Dhindsa and Radhika Nagpal, who came together in the mid-1990s with the idea of a South Asian political and literary online magazine.
