The India Association of Western Washington was established in 1983 by the local east Indian community with a mission to provide a common identity to the Indian community and facilitate cultural, social and educational services and opportunities for cultural integration from young to old of the community; as well as to foster those activities that enhance mutual understanding and appreciation between the Indo-American community and mainstream American community. More information about the organization can be held from the website www.iaww.org. 

 

The South Asia Center at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies has been in existence since the 1960's, and the teaching of South Asian subjects extends to the establishment of Sanskrit instruction in the early 1900's. In addition to offering courses in South Asian languages, cultures, history, politics, geography and many other subjects, the Center works closely with members of the local and regional community to improve knowledge of South Asia.
