Sub: start the teaching of major languages, including Urdu, and culture of South Asia

Dear Madam,

I am writing to you with regard to the School of Humanities in your esteemed University. As we are aware that the concept of South Asian Regional Cooperation(SARC) cannot be meaningful and will remain incomplete as long as South Asian Languages, including Urdu, and Cultures are not taught in your University. For the attainment of the goal of the SARC it is important for the languages and cultures to interact between each other and learn from each other. Then only the regional cooperation in South Asia will be a possibility.

I would further like to bring to your kind notice that I had taken up this matter with late Prof. G.K. Chadha who had kindly assured me to do the needful. 

I therefore urge upon you to start the teaching of major languages, including Urdu, and culture of South Asia as soon as possible.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Dr. Jawaid Rahmani)

        President
