South Asian Center for Reintegration and Independent Research
South Asian Center for Reintegration and Independent Research (SACRIR) is a think tank and research forum dedicated to studies and researches on South Asian nations and matters pertaining to people, culture, society, history, economy and politics. It was founded in Northwest Arkansas in Jan 2011 and later joined by young professionals and scholars from the U.S and Indian subcontinent. As of 2019, SACRIR now operates its U.S. and India research desks.
SACRIR[1] is gradually gaining popularity as a South Asian thinkers' forum in the U.S, and has been published on various dailies and journals like the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Global Politician etc. In an (September 2011) interview on a local television channel of NW Arkansas, its founding member A Chattopadhyay defined SACRIR as 'a non profit forum of like minded people who believe South Asia is one, not necessarily in political terms'.
SACRIR also has partnered with a number of events, including HowdyModi in September 2019 at Houston, Texas.
