PRESS INVITE

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Orissa witnessed unprecedented violence against the Christian minority in August 2008. On
August 25, 2008, anti-Christian violence began on a big scale. It was systematic and widespread. It sounded as if preparation was already there just the pretext was being awaited.

On the 6th anniversary of the Kandhamal carnage over 40 Delhi groups are coming together to organise a solidarity programme with the victims of the Kandhamal violence called- Kandhamal: Never Again.

The programme will mark solidarity with the victims of kandhamal as well as all other victims of communal violence and make an appeal to stop communal violence across India.

There are senior speakers and perfromers who would join hands together to mark the 6th anniversary of the Kandhamal communal carnage. Speakers include: Alwan Masih, Archbishop Anil Couto, Colin Gonsalves,Enakshi Ganguly, Franklin Caesar Thomas, John Dayal, Miloon Kothari, Navaid Hamid, Paul Divakar, Razia Izmail, Ruth Manorama, Sehba Farooqui, Samuel Jaykumar, Sharada manohar Rao, Helen Saldana, Syeda Hameed, Vani  Subramaniam, Vrinda Grover

MUSIC AND POETRY: Dhruv Sangari, Gauhar Raza , Shephali Frost

The programme will be organised on August 25, 2014 from 3-7pm at Jantar Mantar

We request you to kindly send a reporter and a photographer/ camera crew to cover the programme.


Yours sincerely
