Subhas Gatade to speak on Religion, Politics and Terrorism (Lucknow, 26 March 2011)

Dear Friends,

We live in troubled times. Terrorism and the consequent violence stare us square in the face today. Despite a lot of debate around this issue, some important aspects of the phenomenon are conveniently ignored. Why do we gloss over the role of religion in religion-based terrorisms? And why are most of us blind to the menace of Hindutva terror while being only too conscious of the ‘Jihadi’ terror? We need to throw light on a manifold of such blind-spots.

In the second lecture of the ‘Sandhan Lecture Series’ renowned writer, thinker and commentator Subhash Gatade will speak on the explosive mix of religion and politics and on the genesis of the religious terrorism including the Hindutva terror. Please do join us for the lecture followed by a discussion.

Topic: Religion, Politics and Terrorism

Place: U.P. Press Club, Lucknow
Date: March 26th, 2011
Time: 4 pm
