Fremont, CA: On Sunday, April 17th, the Organization for Minorities of India will be hosting a seminar on the current surge of violence against India’s minorities. Our speakers Dr. Manisha Bangar (BAMCEF/Mulnivasi Sangh) and Jaskaran Kaur (Ensaaf) will explain the root cause of the recent agitations among minority students at Indian Universities following the death of Dalit student Rohith Vermula.
“His death serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the diaspora’s duty to the most vulnerable in India,” said Bhajan Singh, founding director of the Organization for Minorities of India. The event will also feature a human rights workshop on how you can support the cause of the oppressed Mulnivasi people throughout India.
