The
Asian Study Group is a voluntary, apolitical, non-profit and
non-hierarchic organization. It was formed in Islamabad in the early
1970s to enable members of the community, both foreign and
Pakistani, to learn more about the culture, geography, history,
religions, environment, crafts and customs of the Asian region in
general, and of Pakistan in particular.
Lectures, discussion meetings
and other events are organised regularly. Trips to various parts of
Pakistan are arranged throughout the year. Hikes are taken in the
nearby hills, and walks in various regions provide an opportunity to
observe local plants and wildlife.
Sub-groups catering to special
interests meet at least once each month. According to interests,
these groups include:
- Adventure
Club
- Archaeology/Anthropology
- Arts
and Crafts
- Comparative
Religions
- Carpets
& Textiles
