CAA, EIA, Farmers’ Bills, Ayodhya Verdict(s), Hathras Rape, COVID-19 and the overall economic collapse…
We will discuss –
- Increasing Radicalisation
- Strong Centre versus State Rift
- American style corporatisation of policies only to benefit the rich.
- Dilution of Judiciary and all “due process” for example EIA
- ON ground: increase in violence either by state or empowered agents of the state towards dissidents and minorities.
Shaheen Bagh became the conscience of the nation before the pandemic hit India. Can we return to that resilient core – despite the odds? What does it mean to be a responsible citizen today? How do we engage? How do we protest? And how do we keep the light of hope alive?
Please join us to remember why we love this country and why and how we need to come together to protect its core “samvidhanik” (constitutional) values, undergoing an onslaught that has never been seen before, as we go through our darkest hour.
