In the recent past, Prof Surepally Sujatha, a well known social activist is being attacked, harassed, threatened, maligned and targetted for standing and speaking for the rights of Dalits and other marginalized groups. The vitriol and trolls against her by the right wingers crossed all levels of civility.

We are deeply disturbed by the concerted campaign against Dr.Sujatha Surepally, by the ABVP and other organizations of the BJP. We condemn the casteist and misogynistic language in which she is being abused in the social media by these groups. We think that she is being singled out for her principled stand on issues ranging from illegal displacement of people by the governments to burning of Manusmriti. We strongly believe that false complaints and vicious social media campaigns are not the modes of resolving differences of opinion on political issues. In a democracy, such differences should be resolved through discussions.

Allam Ramnarayana,Chairperson, Press Council of Telangana
Prof Ratnam, University of Hyderabad and many others will speak


Activists across the country are holding meetings to bring the issue to the fore.

Lamakaan invites one and all to this Solidarity Meeting with Prof Surepally Sujatha.

In 2005 TSC set out to write a trilogy that examines the experiences of ordinary people struggling for statehood.

Remembering Sergei Eisenstein on his 120th birthday.
Screening of Movie “Battleship Potemkin (1925)”
This Sergei Eisenstein’s movie is an all time masterpiece. It is based on the mutiny of Russian sailors against their tyrannical superiors on the battleship Potemkin during the Revolution of 1905. Although this movie is an agitational and revolutionary movie, it is also recognised for its pictorial beauty and great elegance of form. The movie is symmetrically made in five acts. Eisenstein was pioneer in the theory of dialectical montage as he believed that the meaning in motion pictures is generated by the collision of opposing shots. The agitational appeal of Battleship Potemkin was such that it became nearly irresistible when it was released in 1926.
After the screening of the movie, there will be a discussion on it in which all the viewers are welcome to participate.

its comedy short film , classroom comedy between student and lecturer.

We planned for a Short film name vajrakandaka. For this purpose we planned for an audition at lamakaan on Tuesday from 10am to 2pm.

As soon as Modi government came to power, it was focused to bring more and more foreign capital into the Indian market. Congress too always looked keen to open up various sectors one by one to bring foreign capital but BJP has taken it many steps forward in last three years. When BJP was in opposition, it opposed the same FDI’s in various sectors but now it is trying to bring more and more of it. What is the reason for this? What will be the impact of this foreign capital infusion into Indian market? BJP has relaxed the labour laws to a very large extent which means the rights of labourers are heavily curtailed. It has also given a lot of impetus for relaxation of rules and procedures for business approvals and has given a clean chit to the businessman for exploitation of various resources like farmland, water bodies, mines etc. BJP is showing a glorious future to everyone by advertising its program of “Make in India”. But with all these major changes, will Make In India benefit the common man and the working class poor of this country? Will such policy enormously benefit the foreign corporates or will it change the lives of the working class people ? Is “make in India” a populist slogan with nothing substantial for the large section of the society?
Lamakaan programming council Is organizing a series of informal discussions and chit-chat under the name “ADDABAAZI”. The topic of Make in India – Ek Dhokha ! is chosen as the first in these series of discussions. So in order to understand the politics and economics around “ Make in India” and discuss it in an informal way, Moderator Mr. Aniket Aalm.
Lamakaan invites all of you on 30th Jan 2018 at 7:00 pm.

In the recent past, Prof Surepally Sujatha, a well known social activist is being attacked, harassed, threatened, maligned and targetted for standing and speaking for the rights of Dalits and other marginalized groups. The vitriol and trolls against her by the right wingers crossed all levels of civility.

We are deeply disturbed by the concerted campaign against Dr.Sujatha Surepally, by the ABVP and other organizations of the BJP. We condemn the casteist and misogynistic language in which she is being abused in the social media by these groups. We think that she is being singled out for her principled stand on issues ranging from illegal displacement of people by the governments to burning of Manusmriti. We strongly believe that false complaints and vicious social media campaigns are not the modes of resolving differences of opinion on political issues. In a democracy, such differences should be resolved through discussions.

Allam Ramnarayana,Chairperson, Press Council of Telangana
Prof Ratnam, University of Hyderabad and many others will speak


Activists across the country are holding meetings to bring the issue to the fore.

Lamakaan invites one and all to this Solidarity Meeting with Prof Surepally Sujatha.

In 2005 TSC set out to write a trilogy that examines the experiences of ordinary people struggling for statehood.

Remembering Sergei Eisenstein on his 120th birthday.
Screening of Movie “Battleship Potemkin (1925)”
This Sergei Eisenstein’s movie is an all time masterpiece. It is based on the mutiny of Russian sailors against their tyrannical superiors on the battleship Potemkin during the Revolution of 1905. Although this movie is an agitational and revolutionary movie, it is also recognised for its pictorial beauty and great elegance of form. The movie is symmetrically made in five acts. Eisenstein was pioneer in the theory of dialectical montage as he believed that the meaning in motion pictures is generated by the collision of opposing shots. The agitational appeal of Battleship Potemkin was such that it became nearly irresistible when it was released in 1926.
After the screening of the movie, there will be a discussion on it in which all the viewers are welcome to participate.

its comedy short film , classroom comedy between student and lecturer.

Play 1: Tamasha: 2 Monologues

'All the world's a stage'. We all are a part of a staged drama woven by the almighty. Safarnama presents 'Tamasha' a set of two monologues, which will detail few aspects of this dramatic world by raising a few issues of the society. We will also try to communicate real facts and the harsh truth.

Monologue 1: Dharam ki Topi
Religions are on display. Which one do you choose? Which one do you leave? The society has marked all of us under different religions and we have worsened the structure by engaging ourselves into fights and extremism. Come experience a hard hitting and a realistic monologue enacted by Devender Bhardwaj. You're bound to be left thinking whether is it the time to change?

We planned for a Short film name vajrakandaka. For this purpose we planned for an audition at lamakaan on Tuesday from 10am to 2pm.

As soon as Modi government came to power, it was focused to bring more and more foreign capital into the Indian market. Congress too always looked keen to open up various sectors one by one to bring foreign capital but BJP has taken it many steps forward in last three years. When BJP was in opposition, it opposed the same FDI’s in various sectors but now it is trying to bring more and more of it. What is the reason for this? What will be the impact of this foreign capital infusion into Indian market? BJP has relaxed the labour laws to a very large extent which means the rights of labourers are heavily curtailed. It has also given a lot of impetus for relaxation of rules and procedures for business approvals and has given a clean chit to the businessman for exploitation of various resources like farmland, water bodies, mines etc. BJP is showing a glorious future to everyone by advertising its program of “Make in India”. But with all these major changes, will Make In India benefit the common man and the working class poor of this country? Will such policy enormously benefit the foreign corporates or will it change the lives of the working class people ? Is “make in India” a populist slogan with nothing substantial for the large section of the society?
Lamakaan programming council Is organizing a series of informal discussions and chit-chat under the name “ADDABAAZI”. The topic of Make in India – Ek Dhokha ! is chosen as the first in these series of discussions. So in order to understand the politics and economics around “ Make in India” and discuss it in an informal way, Moderator Mr. Aniket Aalm.
Lamakaan invites all of you on 30th Jan 2018 at 7:00 pm.
