Today let us pay homage to activist and writer Satnam followed by a screening of Sanjay Kak's "Red Ant Dream" film in which he was seen and reciting about the lives of Adivasis and their struggles.

Satnam, whose real name was Gurmeet Singh, authored ‘Jangalnama’, a book that gave an insight into the lives of the adivasis of Bastar and was an account of his travels in the Maoist guerrilla zone.

Satnam, who hailed from Amritsar had studied humanities at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.

This documentary 'Red Ant Dream' deals with the issue of "Maoist insurgency in India". It focuses on the Maoists in Bastar in Chhattisgarh, tribals fighting against industrialists in Niyamgiri in Odisha, and protestors acting in memory of the Leftist revolutionary Bhagat Singh in Punjab. This film shows the people of these regions resisting what they believe to be oppression. The film won a prize from the Busan International Film Festival.

All are welcome.
