What we'll do
Atheism, Humanism and Skepticism in India (Public Lecture)
------------------------------------
1:30 pm for 2pm lecture
It is a public lecture - all welcome
Speaker: Babu Gogineni
The secular nation of India has a long tradition of Atheism, Humanism, Rationalism and Skepticism.
Nonetheless, India continues to struggle against religious superstition and persecution as social intolerance is rapidly growing.
Meanwhile, the legal framework of blasphemy laws remains in place.
Incitement to violence against Atheists has become common place, and in the last few years four leading Atheists have been gunned down.
Police have recently unravelled a spectacular plot to eliminate four others, all on the same day, in different cities.
