Ajeet Cour’s SAARC literary dreams

She understood the male-centric structure of South Asian society and decided to fight against it.

My perception of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is entirely shaped by my literary, artistic and academic associations. The organisation is not political, but for writers, artists and dreamers, it has become both a metonymic and metaphorical representation of the phenomenon of identity and the continuity of institutions related to culture, creativity and the arts.
