Friends of South Asia (FOSA) is a California, United States based social and political activist organization. Founded jointly in 2001 by Americans of Pakistani and Indian origins, the group describes its mission as "achieve a peaceful, prosperous, and hate-free South Asia...work() through people-to-people contacts, dialog, and other non-violent, non-exclusionary means.". FOSA activism has touched upon issues inside South Asia, as well as outside South Asia such as those relating to Israel and United States policy in Cuba and Venezuela among others.〔(Boycott Israel? Amitav Ghosh & the Dan David Prize ) Pulse Media, May 9 2010〕〔(National Day of Action Against the US War Machine, Call for Protests on Saturday March 19 at UN Plaza ) January 16 2011〕 ==History== FOSA was founded in December 2001 by a group of nine Pakistani Americans and Indian Americans, concerned that "the place we call home was full of war cries and that South Asia was on the brink of a war."〔 Members organized candlelight vigils and letter-writing campaigns for peace, initially in collaboration with groups like the Sikh Qaumantri Punjabi Bhaichara (Punjabi International Friendship) Group of California.〔 The local vigils grew out of a series of vigils for peace in South Asia held simultaneously in 18 cities around the world. FOSA registered as a tax-exempt non-profit charitable entity in Arts, Culture and Humanities category with United States’ Internal Revenue Services. Its non-profit status remains revoked by United States’ Internal Revenue Services, as of November 2013, because FOSA has failed to file required annual reports and certifications under United States laws for three consecutive years.〔(Friends of South Asia ) Guidestar Non-profit Company Reports, United States (2013)〕
