Welcome to the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia, a group of more than 400 journalists and photographers covering India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Afghanistan and Tibet.
New members are always welcome - there is a link to the membership application form on this page. In addition to journalists we welcome associates such as diplomats, lawyers, and people dealing with the media from non-governmental organizations and companies

To celebrate our 50th anniversary last year, Penguin Books India published an anthology of articles and photographs going back to the 1950s – "Foreign Correspondent – 50 Years of Reporting South Asia". In their introduction, the book's editors write:

"It has been said that journalism is 'the first draft of history' – incomplete, momentary, often opinionated, but history-in-the-making nonetheless. We hope that this illustrated anthology of great reportage, analysis, writing - and stories that just demand your attention - will be seen as such a ‘draft report’, complementing other non-fiction books. We have tried to show the range of what we write about, from politics to tigers, from business to inequality, from religious fanaticism to fans of P.G.Wodehouse."

The FCC is a member of the International Association of Press Clubs (IAPC) and members of the FCC are welcomed in all the IAPC clubs around the world (see the IAPC website). We welcome IAPC affiliated overseas club members when they visit India.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh hosted Foreign Correspondent members of the FCC to tea at his residence on March 27 to mark the 50th anniversary of the club. He was presented with an anthology of 50 years of foreign correspondents' articles and photographs, "Foreign Correspondent - 50 Years of Reporting South Asia", that had just been published by Penguin Books India.
