Friends,

Activists who took part in the activities of the
DEFEAT BJP FORUM during March-May this year have
now resolved to use the experience gathered in
that campaign to widen the scope for the struggle
for democratic space. Tentatively, the new forum
will have the following features:

1. Name: People's Struggle for Democracy. This
will be an umbrella forum for sharing experience,
preparing documents, initiating and coordinating
campaign activities etc. The participants are
expected to belong to a variety of democratic
organizations. Hence, the structure of the forum
will be completely open-ended.

2. Agenda: (a) To continue the struggle against
communal-fascist forces at the grass-roots level,
(b) to oppose the continuing neo-liberal economic
policies of the state that largely led to the
rise of the communal-fascist forces in the first
place.

3. Method: Direct work among the masses in small
groups in and around Delhi to enable the masses
to recognize and act on their own on the issues
listed above. In this, we will use and expand on
the contacts, resources and experience already
gathered in the earlier campaign. There will be
less emphasis on seminars, conventions,
campaiging in the media etc.

We will have a meeting on 23 July, Friday, 5.00
PM at 8, VP House to finalize on the above items
and to chart some definite course of activities.

Please attend this meeting so that we have as wide a
consensus as possible.

Nirmalangshu, Madhu, Thomas, Jadav, Nandita, and others.
