\u201cYou have to taste a culture to understand it.\u201d — D. Cater<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The cultural mosaic of Pakistan features a diversified potpourri of art, literature, music, customs, tradition and an enormously rich historical heritage. Inhabited by people belonging to various ethnicities and language, the versatile cultural life of the country is a rich mix of different subcultures being represented by the vibrant and passionate individuals who have left their footprint in the cultural heritage. <\/p>\n

In an endeavor to understand and highlight one of the subcultures in Pakistan, an educational and cultural show titled, \u201cAn Evening of Chitral Heritage\u201d was organized by Habib University\u2019s ARZU Center<\/strong><\/a> in collaboration with Chitral Heritage and Environment Protection Society (CHEPS)<\/strong><\/a> at the campus auditorium for the HU Community. The Arzu Center for Regional Languages and Humanities contributes to Habib University\u2019s vision and institutional mission through fostering pedagogy, research and scholarship in the various languages from Pakistan. Adversely affected by the lack of clearly defined educational and national priorities, this Center is designed to contribute to the revitalization of these languages and cultures. The Center\u2019s scope of work covers a wide range including language instruction, translation from and into the regional languages, development of pedagogical material, cultural and literary preservation and the promotion of language-based activities.<\/p>\n
