An Interfaith discussion about human rights and democracy in India

Purpose of gathering would be to explore interfaith efforts to secure democracy and human rights in India, and in particular, the role of faith-based activists.

Format: 5 minute presentations by several faith-based activists/advocates for human rights and secular democracy in India followed by open discussion among all gathered.

Speaker: SUNITA will speak about progressive Hinduism which is devoted to the human rights of all faights.

Some of the questions to explore during the discussion are: Does the "left" in India collaborate with faith-base efforts for human rights? Do such collaborations and interfaith efforts in India that stand for minority rights include Hindus? Are there Hindus who connect their activism against Hindu nationalism to the teachings of the Gita and Vedas etc. Of course we know of Swami Agnvesh, Shashi Tharoor, KP Ramanunni -- but these are individuals. Are such views and efforts present in broader interfaith organizing in India? How can Sadhana support such efforts in India, from so far away?

ENTRY IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL!!!
