Literary works published in Asia Raja, a newspaper in the Dutch East Indies and early Indonesia, were mostly written by Japanese and native contributors, with the latter more active; works by two foreign authors, Rabindranath Tagore and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, were also published in translation. A total of sixty-nine poems, sixty short stories, and three serials were published in Asia Raja, which was first published on 29 April 1942, months after the Empire of Japan invaded the Indies.
