Dear Nilofer, and Kamayani,
Thank you for your mail. The format of the programme is performances- poetry,
music, , screenings, exhibitions and in between statements- 3-5 minutes.
Our idea of the statements is to raise all these issues and talk about them.
It will be great if Nilofer you could come and speak to for 3-5 minutes. We
hope to have 10-15 civil society members, celebrities to do that and definitely
remember Hemant Karkare, Shahid Azmi . so we are reserving almost an hour out
of the whole programme for interventions. there is no committee- just anhad
young activists and the prog is absolutely open to changes and suggestions till
we go for printing in 2-3 days time of posters etc.
We thought of doing a new exhibition on similar lines but if it is already
there then it is great. we were thinking of documenting 50 taxi and rikshaw
walas and what mumbai means to them but now probably i can request our young
team to do a video instead if the visual exhibition is available. Trying to
involve college students, artists , performers . Thank you for your suggestions
and support. Please do help in inviting civil society members who could give
statements. I don't know everyone.
We are planning to have college students from 4-6pm and then young performers
and some senior people + in between the performances statements/ speeches-
short ones by civil society and celebrities. exhibitions and painting outside
the hall.
We will culminate with Dhruv Sangari- a sufi singer and a disciple of Ustad
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sahab. so far we have confirmed a young dancers group who
performed at kala ghoda fest, imaad shah- singer ( naseer sahabs son), a
theatre group, a group ( yuva biradari) singing movement songs. Shabana Azmi
and Rose Bose have confirmed.
i reach 25th early morning. it will give me just 9 days to mount the
programme so all support is required. will be operating from jogeshwari west.
if you suggest a place we can meet on 25th. i will be going to the venue to see
the place in bandra . please suggest a time and place.
you can sms at 9811807558. would be great if we can meet at aplace where you
could invite a few more people who might be interested.
i will be caught up whole day tomorrow with the Communal Violence bill
lobbying work in delhi so might not check the mail.

Dear Shabnam
Niloufer Bhagwat has given the true spirit of the city Bombay, I would
like to add that we , as in women organisations do have a banner which has
MUMBAI MERI HAI is 15 languages, we could get more creative and use the banner
and elaborate on the idea with a photo exhibition reflecting various walks of
life stating Mumbai meri hai, there are some pics ready as well.
We can have brain storming on more creative ideas once u r in Mumbai
I would love to support Anhad in its programs in Mumbai
In solidarity

Dear Shabnam Hashmi ,
I have to request you in consultation with your committee to
in the course of your programme " Celebrating Diversity " to pay a tribute to
the young lawyer Shaheed Shahid Azmi who was assassinated by allegedy "
patriotic " criminal gangs hired bycovert agencies as per the press conference
of police agencies and to the memory of Jt.Commissioner of Police SHAHID
Hemant Karkare, whose investigations led to his being killed and to the memory
of those police officers and men who died in the ambush at Cama Hospital along
with Shri Hemant Karkare .
Both these individuals represent the tragedy and triumph of Mumbai ,
the struggle against all odds , even martyrdom ,to serve humanity to protect
the unity and integrity of India , which is not an abstract idea but a
civilization where cultures have co-existed for centuries , now attempted to
be unsuccessfully drowned in hate as witnessed by the defiance in Mumbai in
respect of the screening of " MY NAME IS KHAN " ;of course this hate is sold by
satanic forces with thirty pieces of silver, to sell a whole society .
However the concept of ' Insaniyat ' cannot be bought or sold .The
innocent have been the victims of all religions and culture, which is now
understood throughout the country .
Mahatma Gandhi would have been proud .....so many volunteers to save
society !!!!!!
Woh lahu tha hindustani .....yet more dirty
tricks ahead by all covert agencies .
With greetings to all the conveners ,
Niloufer Bhagwat
Advocate

Subject: Celebrating Diversity-need your support
Dear Friends,
Anhad is planning to organize a cultural programme- 'Celebrating
Diversity' in Mumbai on March 6, 2010 at the St Andrews College Auditorium,
Bandra.
We are in the process of conceiving it. So far the idea is to invite
young artists from various genres to perform for 10-15 minutes and in between
the performances have 2-3 civil society members, celebrities speak/ recite for
3-4 minutes.
The idea is to say in very simple words that Bombay-Mumbai belongs to
all of us. We celebrate our democratic rights given by the Indian Constitution
and safeguard them too.
We want to get as many people together as possible from various
disciplines.
I am writing to request you to send any innovative ideas to make the
programme more lively and meaningful.
We are trying to raise resources for the programme which we are very
hopeful should be through in a day or two. We seek support both moral and by
participation, generating ideas from civil society groups individuals to join
us in celebrating diversity .
I will be in Mumbai from Feb 24 to March 6th.
Anhad plans to start working in Mumbai on a regular basis. We seek
your help and cooperation. Three of out trustees are Mumbai based- Ram
Puniyani, Shubha Mudgal and Saeed Mirza .
please do respond.
Sincerely
Shabnam Hashmi

"After a war, the silencing of arms is not enough. Peace means respecting
all rights. You can’t respect one of them and violate the others. When a
society doesn’t respect the rights of its citizens, it undermines peace and
leads it back to war.”
