Edinburgh University South Asian Students Association - SASA

South Asian Student’s Association is the go-to society for everything South Asian at the University. Thank you for visiting us. Wish to see you all in future!

The South Asian Students Association is the go-to society for everything South Asian at the University of Edinburgh. It serves as a unique platform for displaying the strong cultural heritage of South Asia while also serving as a tightly knit community of people from it or with a strong passion for it. Our committee this year is dedicated to making sure SASA is everything you want it to be. From s

howcasing our diverse culture this year through celebrating various festivals to showing off the talent in our community by putting our members centre-stage, we hold regular events for occasions such as Eid, Diwali, Holi and much more. We also strive to be a forum for all academic debate, literary discussion, artistic ventures pertaining to South Asia in Edinburgh. The university's South Asian literature publication Jal is also supported by our society. Most importantly, we aim to be a welcoming society which caters to your needs in Edinburgh away from home. Come and join us in this journey through the hearts and minds of the good folks in this beautiful city, celebrating South Asia all the while. A year of delicious dinners, mind-blowing music and fantastic festivities awaits you!

After more than 10 incredible years, we want to share an important update about our page, SASA.

Due to current circumstances, SASA will no longer be continuing as an active society, and we will be putting the society up for adoption. We are deeply proud of everything this community has built over the past decade.

As part of this transition, our Facebook and Instagram accounts will be delinked. If SASA is successfully adopted in the future, it will return and be active on Instagram only.

We have chosen not to deactivate or delete this account, as it holds 10 years of memories, events, and moments that mean so much to all of us who have been part of SASA’s journey.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed, supported, and been part of SASA over the years — you are what made this society so special.

With gratitude,
SASA
