DESCRIPTION:In 2002, over 2000 Muslims were killed by Hindu extremist mobs in the 
 Indian state of Gujarat, and over 150,000 victims continue to be displaced 
 even today.\n\nShabnam Hashmi and ANHAD (Act Now for Harmony and Democracy) 
 began focusing on ground-up mobilization work in Gujarat throughout 2006-07 
 as a run up to the state elections of December 2007 by conducting town and 
 village level awareness campaigns about communal harmony across the state. 
 Shabnam Hashmi's talk will focus on the fate of democracy in Gujarat, 
 India.\n\nShabnam Hashmi of ANHAD is among the foremost figures in the 
 political battles around secularism and religious fundamentalism in India 
 today. With more than 25 years of experience working on issues of religious 
 violence and conflict resolution in India, Hashmi brought together a range 
 of intellectuals and cultural activists in 2003 to found ANHAD as a new 
 experiment in grassroots cultural production and education, especially 
 amongst youth. ANHAD undertakes grassroots level activities with an 
 emphasis on constructive and continuous activity in order to create and 
 sustain secular and democratic consciousness in an ethnically diverse 
 India.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/03/04/18483658.php
