“Peace is the way, Peace is too precious to be left to the whims and fancies of leaders and governments, and we the people are reclaiming it.”

Note on Southasia as one word: We use ‘Southasia’ as one word, “seeking to restore some of the historical unity of our common living space, without wishing any violence on the existing nation states” — Himal Southasian.


Sapan takes forward the principles and ideals of peace, justice, democracy and human rights. The aim is a visa-free Southasia or confederation of nations with soft borders, or at least soft borders,a region with ease of trade and travel, collaborating and cooperating on all areas for the sake of the people.
