Appeal in defence of democracy and secularism

As you all are aware, today we are facing with the growing menace of fascism, even graver than the earlier times. The fascist vipers are spreading out the poison of communalism, casteism, national jingoism to develop disunity and disharmony among the people and as a result the democratic culture of living together has been radically undermined. They turned the country in to a slaughter house for their pelf and power. In this situation, to give shape to an all India secular democratic forum or network with a strong and clear vision and to develop a powerful countrywide democratic campaign for secularism and democracy is the need of the hour.  This includes campaign against the dangers posed by fascism to various sections of society, countering all attempts to develop communal, casteist polarizations of society, and spreading an understanding of what genuine secular democracy means and why it is an essential part of a modern state and society. With this aim, we are conducting a series of meetings over the past few months in various centers across the country.
A meeting of democratic activists held in Delhi on October 20, 2013, issued the following appeal in defense of secularism and Democracy as a preliminary step to mobilize public opinion and create a network through its endorsement.
So, I request all those who have not yet endorsed, to endorse the (following) appeal to make it public and widely circulate it in your circle to get endorsement and mobilization for our campaign. Those who have endorsed till today, their names are given in the list, below.
With Regards,
Battini Rao

Communal hatred and violence are a danger to social integrity and if allowed to continue will endanger the security of all Indians. The very fate of our democratic institutions is at stake.
