DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum continues\n\nInformation, discussion & community! Monday Night 
 Forum!!\n\nOccupy Forum is an opportunity for open and respectful dialogue 
 on all sides of these critically important issues!\n\nOccupyForum 
 presents…\n\nPower, Privilege and Terrorism:  Hindu Extremism in India 
 and its tentacles in the Indian American Diaspora\n\nWith Ahmed Syed, 
 member Indian American Muslim Council\nand Karthik Ramanathan, Occupy 
 activist\n\nThe year 2002 will remain an infamous moment in the history of 
 secular India. During this time, thousands of unarmed Muslim civilians -- 
 men, women and children -- in the state of Gujarat were targeted by Hindu 
 Terrorist groups using as an excuse an incident of a train coach burning 
 that had resulted in the deaths of 58 Hindus. This anti-Muslim violence and 
 the hate campaign that followed were supported by the National and State 
 governments led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) including its current 
 Priministerial candidate Mr. Narendra Modi.\n\nAhmed Syed, member of the 
 Indian American Muslim Council and Karthik Ramanathan, Occupy Activist, 
 will address the rising social challenges posed by Hindu fundamentalist 
 parties like the BJP which are inimical to the ideals of equality and 
 liberty, that have risen over the Indian political landscape. We will also 
 explore the support and funding being received by these forces from 
 sections of the Indian American diaspora, the work of IAMC in supporting 
 the fight for justice in India, and what we can do to support the 
 struggle.\n\nAnnouncements will follow. Donations to OccupyForum to cover 
 our costs are encouraged; no one turned away!\n
