Setu, a monthly online journal is edited by an international board of talented Hindi and English authors, poets, journalists and critics from across the planet. Setu means a bridge in Sanskrit and many Indic languages. Becoming a cross-cultural bridge for the world literature is one of the main objectives of Setu. पिट्सबर्ग से प्रकाशित मासिक पत्रिका सेतु का सम्पादन संसार भर के चुने हुए सम्पादकों द्वारा किया जा रहा है. संसार की दो सबसे बडी भाषाओं में एक साथ प्रकाशित स्वतंत्र भाष्यों के साहित्यिक योगदानकर्ताओं में स्थानीय साहित्यकारों के साथ-साथ विश्व भर के अनिवासी लेखक और पत्रकार शामिल हैं. जैसा कि सेतु नाम से स्पष्ट है, यह पत्रिका साहित्य सागर में एक सेतु की भूमिका निभाने को तैयार है.
