Sep 30, 07:00 pm, Attacks on Democracy &Secularism Discussion
We are going through the most challenging time in the history of our country. Unabated and rampant violations of democratic and civil rights are making the life of the people miserable. Women and down-trodden people are the worst victims. The vested interests are inflaming communal and caste tensions and hatred between different communities. Elections no longer reflect the will of the people but are manipulated by money, media and muscle power. Voter list manipulation and organized rigging have evolved overtime and attained ugly face with the use of modern technology. Many citizens of our country are apprehending that they might lose the right to vote seeing the way the S.I.R. is being implemented in Bihar. Right to food remains elusive as shown in the governmental data that more than 80 crore people are hunger-stricken, and they need free rations. Poor rankings of the country in the Global Hunger Index and Human Freedom Index have tarnished the image of the country in the eyes of international community. The list is only illustrative and not exhaustive. In this background, we are conducting this small meeting here in Lamakaan to discuss the implications of the present scenario and how the civil society should respond to it. We invite you to participate and share your valuable thoughts in the meeting.
All are Welcome!
