South Asia Forum-Madison (SAF-M) is a Madison based collective consisting primarily of (but not restricted to) students, activists and all those interested in promoting awareness and discourse about issues pertaining to South Asia. Ideologically, it is a group committed to an agenda of peace and harmony among peoples - across boundaries of nationality, religion, race, class, color, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. The main focus, however, is on the South Asian region (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka).
Issues of interest include development, environment, cultural, social and political issues (especially pertaining to the South Asian Diaspora in the US). As the name of the group suggests (South Asia FORUM), the agenda of the group is to some extent, an open one. The main idea is to provide members a platform on which to engage in discussion and dialogue. |
