Friday Talk Series - October 1, 2010, PILSARC Library

To all those who have been attending our last two sessions on the Ayodhya dispute, thank you for coming and strengthening the debate here at PILSARC!

Tomorrow, despite a resolution passed last week to move on to the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958 / 1992 (J&K), we have decided to spend one more session threshing out the Babri debacle.

The judgement arrived just a few hours back, therefore the delay in sending out this mail - I am pleased to invite you all to the third session of the PILSARC Friday talk series. To those who missed the last two sessions, here is your chance to catch up and have your views heard on what is arguably the most hotly debated and socially volatile judgement in recent years.

Please bring along friends / colleagues / interesting people you know / students, and join us as we begin analysing the Allahabad High Court's pronouncement on the Ayodhya title suit.

What - Ayodhya judgement analysed
Who - Lead by Dr. Rajeev Dhavan
When - Tomorrow, Friday, 01 October, 2010
What time - 5.30 p.m.
Where - PILSARC Library (Basement), A 131, New Friends Colony, Delhi - 25

Tea, snacks and copies of the available discussion materials are on us, as is the difficult responsibility of steering the conversation!

The PILSARC Friday Talk Series is intended to provide a free and informal forum for intelligent, critical, analytical minds to speak out and have their voices heard.

I look forward very much to seeing you all here tomorrow evening!

Regards,

Rashmi
