F.A.I.T.H. is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to finding solutions to problems that plague South Asia. The region has faced conflict since gaining independence from the British Empire in 1947. Political, geographic, and cultural divisions inhibit reconciliation and peace, in spite of the many overlapping cultural and ethnic identities of South Asian peoples. We will harness the power of interdisciplinary and international scholarship to resolve conflict and right injustices. Rather than a world in which disinformation is spread on social media and the “free” press is influenced by governments, we envision a world in which collaborative research in the region addresses social problems, a world in which scholarship informs just government policies, and a world in which all individuals are free to live safe and dignified lives. To achieve these aims in South Asia, F.A.I.T.H has three primary foci. In partnership with other organisations, we will: 1) publish an open-source journal, the South Asian Journal of Law, Policy, and Social Research, to inform practice and policy; 2) operate an incubator fund for individuals to address social justice issues to improve peoples’ lives; and 3) host colloquia for international scholars to problem-solve and provide action-based solutions for pressing problems facing South Asia. F.A.I.T.H. is established under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 and has a registered office in the National Capital Territory of India.
