VIOLENCE RESISTENCE WEEK -Feb27- March 5 ,2003

IIT Delhi, Jamia and JNU groups are working out the programs in their respective institutions for the first two days, to be followed by visits to schools, pheris in localities, presenting a mamorandum to PM and organizing 24 hr shanti paaths.
Violence Resistance Week (February 27-March 5, 2003) Friends, A year ago two thousand innocent countrymen were burnt alive in train and houses. We feel their agony and muster courage to resist communal, terrorist, and caste violence that want to crush the masses and establish their rule over them. Let this realization go in our nerves that workers of all religions are one - the laborers, artisans, farmers, watchmen, cleaners, rikshaw pullers, peanut vendors etc. are one. They comprise 85% of country's population but possess less than 15% of national resources and wealth. The per capita income of most people is less than half the national average.
We present mamoramda to the Prime Minister that the government formulate a national policy to safeguard life, dignity and property of all citizens against caste, communal and terrorist violence without discrimination. It deal with terrorists and communalists with same ferocity, bring killers to justice, weed out communal elements from police and administration, and ensure equitable representation of all communities in these classes.
We organize a 24 hr akhand shaanti paath in our locality where we collectively sing dohas (couplets) from sufis and saints (Kabir, Nanak, Raidas, Khusro, Mira, Tulsi etc.) and read brief passages on struggles of people for truth. Conatct -Prof.V.K.Tripathi Sadbhavna Mission 5, C-Street, IIT, New Delhi 110016 Ph.26581737: sadbhavm@yahoo.com
