Literary Journal

Cahava (meaning “proverb” in Urdu/Hindi) is an international literary journal dedicated to championing remarkable voices in the literary world. We strive to introduce up-and-coming writers to a wider audience.

Cahava publishes pieces that explore the human condition - short stories that make you laugh to poems that may make you cry. Most importantly, we look for work that offers a new perspective on the world around us; or perhaps just help understand ourselves a little better.
