Invitation 26th November

We come together today to remind ourselves and the country that many of our constitutional guarantees remain unfulfilled and forgotten. Please join us at Mavlankar Auditorium, VP House, Rafi Marg, on the 26th of November, the anniversary of the day the Constitution was adopted, to renew our commitment to the guiding principles and the realization of Constitutional guarantees. The Jansansad will convene between 11 am to 5 pm. We will take a pledge between 1 pm and 2 pm with eminent persons who have protected Constitutional guarantees.  And in the evening between 6 pm and 8 pm we will have lectures on Reclaiming Democracy, to begin shaping a serious discourse; today we will  hear Romila Thapar, well known historian and Asghar Ali Engineer, crusader against divisive communal forces in India. Kapila Vatsayan, well known for her contribution to cultural diversity, will chair the meeting.
