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 work that delves into the human condition: short stories that make you laugh, poems that make you cry, and pieces that, more importantly, offer a new perspective on the world around us—or just understand yourselves a little better.
