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.

Bio
Babu Gogineni is a high profile Indian Atheist, Humanist, human rights activist, Rationalist and Skeptic.
He was the Executive Director of the global International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU).
Babu has worked tirelessly for many decades to challenge superstition.
He keeps alive the debate on television and has exposed many charlatans, some of them with great drama on Indian television.
Some episodes receive millions of views on Youtube.

Recently in 2018, Babu Gogineni was a contestant on Bigg Boss season 2 of Telugu hosted by Natural Starr Nani.
While locked in Bigg Boss for 63 days, his enemies tried to get him charged with blasphemy.

A $2 donation for venue expenses will be appreciated.
