Loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu”, the message of universal brotherhood cannot be expressed more clearly than through these Sanskrit words. It needs a long vision and a lot of perseverance to see the world as one and the people of the world as brethren and wish them all good will. It is out of this Indian spirit that Indian Association Sharjah was established in 1979 with the set objectives of promoting Indo-Arab friendship, providing educational and socio-cultural facilities for the children of the Indians in the area, providing charity activities and help to those community members in distress. Like any other organization, Indian Association Sharjah also had a humble beginning. Every one viewed it with his own reservations and did not show much interest to be members in it. Now the Association is much sought after by thousands of Indians for Social, Cultural, Educational, Recreational and Relief activities.
