This event triggered massive violence and pogrom against Muslims in Gujarat, killing 2000 people. Many believe, \u2018Godhara train tragedy\u2019 was a conspiracy to attack minorities and consolidate the Hindu vote bank in the state. There were several commissions constituted to investigate Godhra and post Godhra carnage. The reports submitted by the commissions identified several criminals but nothing has been done to book them and bring justice to the victims of the communal riots. Post Godhara many sporadic to regular communal riots have taken place from Muzaffarnagar to Kasgunj etc and they keep happening in the name of cow slaughter, anti nationalism, religion, love jihad etc. This film festival tries to find the reasons why people of the same country are ready to slit the throats of each other in the name of religion, caste. India is a land of multi cultural diversity and plurality where communities have been living and managed to survive the test of time. Why is it that we are not being able to co-exist with harmony and peace in the recent times? Have we become pawns in the hands of political parties who can trigger riots anytime to gain undue advantage? What is the way out to deal these day to day increasing riots in the country? Can we understand the game of these vested interested and do not fall prey their cheap discourses which only promote hate and vengeance against communities? The aim of the festival is to protect the secular fabric of India and to sensitize masses on the issues of peace and harmony and to wither away the communal agenda of some political parties. ENTRY TO THE FESTIVAL IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL!!! Post screening of the films discussion will follow! 28th Febraury (Wednesday) - 6pm Film: Ram Ke Naam (In the name of God) (1992) Directed by Anand Patwardhan. Duration: 75 min. Language: Hindi (English subtitles) Synopsis: The film explores the campaign waged by the Hindu-nationalist Vishva Hindu Parishad to build a Ram temple at the site of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, as well as the communal violence that it triggered. A couple of months after Ram ke Naam was released, VHP activists demolished the Babri Masjid in 1992, provoking further violence. The film earned Patwardhan a wide recognition, and received several national and international awards. 1st March (Thursday) - 4pm Film: Final Solution (2004) Directed by Rakesh Sharma. Duration: 210 min. Language: Gujrati, Hindi (English subtitles) Synopsis: Final Solution is a 2004 documentary film directed by Rakesh Sharma concerning the 2002 Gujarat pogrom in which both Hindu and Muslims are targeted in the state of Gujarat by political extremists. In order to rationalize their violence, Hindu extremists had made the claim that their actions were in fact a \"spontaneous response\" to the Godhra Train Burning incident on 27 February 2002. But as the film proceeds with victims continuing to come forward and share their experiences, a more unsettling possibility seems to emerge- that far from being a spontaneous expression of outrage, the anti-Muslim violence had been carefully coordinated and planned. An official estimate states that 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims were killed during the riots, with 223 more missing. The documentary consists mostly of interviews, with both Muslims and Hindus, of multiple generations, and both sexes, with different views regarding the causes, justifications and the actual events of the violence that occurred, as well as their prospects for the future. 1st March (Thursday) \u2013 7.00pm Film: Kya Hua Iss Shehar Ko? (What Happened to This City?) (1986) Directed by Deepa Dhanraj. Duration: 95 min. Language: Dakhani, Telugu (English subtitles) Synopsis: A pioneering political work of contemporary relevance: Communal violence between Hindus and Muslims in 1984 forms the starting point for this film, whose complexity lends it immense political force. The film's historical perspective is provided by a thorough commentary, which gives the camera's particular presence the necessary depth and complexity. The mechanisms of political power struggles, the dynamics among those that hold power and the instrumentalisation of economic relations and urban poverty make for a striking analysis, uniquely anticipating the subsequent development of communalist conflicts and the politics of marginalization.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n2nd March (Friday) \u2013 4pm Film: Muzzafarnagar Baaqi Hai (2015) Directed by Nakul Singh Sawhney. Duration: 136 min. Language: Hindi (English subtitles) Synopsis: In September 2013, Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts of Western Uttar Pradesh, India, witnessed one of India's worst ever pogrom since Indian Independence. More than 100 people were killed and close to 80,000 people were displaced. In the past, the two districts have seen relative harmony between Muslims and Hindus. What happened this time? 'Muzaffarnagar Baaqi Hai...' (Muzaffarnagar eventually...) straddles between various socio-political-economic dynamics in the areas that have been affected by the violence. This documentary speaks to a cross-section of people. While looking at the immediate violence and it's repercussions, it takes a journey around the many facets of the massacre- the question of a woman's 'honour', which becomes the biggest rallying point to instigate people, the way communal polarisation was orchestrated, the merging of caste identity politics within the larger political fold and the breakdown of the once powerful farmers' union - Bhartiya Kissan Union 2nd March (Friday) \u2013 7.00pm Film: Who Killed Gandhi (2015) Directed by Anand Ramayya. Duration: 50 min. Language: English Synopsis: Who Killed Gandhi? is an investigation into assassin Nathuram Vinayak Godse, his mentor Vinakay Damodar Savarkar, and the murder of a man considered by many to be a saint and the father of modern India, Mahatma Gandhi. The story of the characters involved and muliple attempts on Gandhi's life reveal the complexities behind it, which have been cloaked in mystery and are only now coming to light. Gandhi's radical vision of a non-violent, multicultural society was in direct opposition to that of his opponents, inevitably leading to his violent death. What emerges is an epic battle of clashing ideologies set in a formative era that would define the world we live in today.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">4846<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">Communal Harmony Film Festival<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lm_image_resize\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.lamakaan.com\/event_image\/0d60346e1c487dbe75bedab25abcd76d8c83dc20\" \/><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Fri Mar 2, 4:00 PM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">Lamakaan Programming Team<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">Communal Harmony Film Festival - 28th February to 2nd March 2018 16 years ago on the morning of 27th February 2002 Godhra train burning accident occurred in which 59 people were killed.

We all then write to the host\u2019s prompts and guidelines for about an hour. Once we're done writing, we read out our write-ups (optional). We also exchange feedback and constructively critique each other's works. Entry is free, anyone with an interest in writing can walk in. Bring your writing devices and we\u2019re all set!

But when you see documentary footage from the late 19th century, it has an entirely different, slightly spooky not-of-this-world quality. Is it because of the primitive scratchy images? The more archaic visual-recording technology? No, it\u2019s because the people in the images lack even a hint of the awareness of image-making technology. They have no media in their souls, and that marks them as pre-modern spirits.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\u201cDawson City: Frozen Time\u201d is a one-of-a-kind curio of a movie that captures, through a collage of photographs, silent documentary footage, and pre-talkie Hollywood film, the story of a Canadian mining town from the 1890s up through the early decades of the 20th century.

Starting from the Kuppam project in the 90s to the so-called Centers of Excellence to be set up under the Indo-Israeli agricultural project and the recently announced trips for over 1000 agricultural state officials to Israel, ostensibly for training purposes, dozens of crores of public money fund Israeli projects in the state. <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThis dialogue with farmers from Palestine and Telangana wants to look at the impact of these state sponsored projects on farmers in the state and the Palestinian suffering from Israel\u2019s agricultural policies, central to their dispossession and colonisation.

Data-driven private giants are rapidly collecting and analyzing vast amounts of personal data belonging to individuals. Every electronic device and service today has the ability to monitor its users\u2019 activities in excruciating detail, spawning an entire industry that treats data as money. As corporations come up with new and inventive ways to monetize personal data, civil liberties such as the right to privacy are often left by the wayside.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn addition, there have been instances where cyber-attacks have compromised highly sensitive personal information on a very large scale (such as the attack on Equifax that leaked social security numbers), proving that cyber-security is no longer a niche area. Increasing reliance on the Internet and smart devices is exposing people to more cyber-security threats, and the problem will only be compounded as technology permeates ever deeper into daily lives.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn this scenario, it is a cause for concern that most users remain unaware of the privacy and security risks that they face on a daily basis, or the nature and extent of damage that stands to be done in consequence.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThis 'Digital Security Training\u2019 Workshop is an effort towards raising awareness in this regard and help building digital security of attendees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">4970<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">Screening Mardistan (Macholand)<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Thu Mar 8, 6:00 PM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">Films and Conversation on Sexuality and Gender<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">Who is a \"real\" man? <br \/>\r\nWhat are the qualities that he must posses?<br \/>\r\nWhat renders him \"unmanly?<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThis screening is aimed at starting a collectively discussion about some of these questions.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFilm: Mardistan (Macholand): Reflections on Indian Manhood<br \/>\r\nDir: Harjant Gill<br \/>\r\nDuration: 30mins<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMardistan looks at conventions and conversations surrounding masculinity in Punjab through the articulations of four men. <br \/>\r\nGurpreet is a father of twin girls.

It is this life in the soil that lends its name to the soil as living soil. A vast number of organisms engineer a myriad of biochemical changes as the decay of organic matter takes place in the soil. Among the organisms, which contribute to soil health, the most important are the earthworms. Based on continuous research on earthworms made me write \u201cearthworms are the pulse of the soil, healthier the pulse, healthier the soil\u201d.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe soil is a living dynamic system whose functions are mediated by diverse living organisms which in agriculture requires proper management and conservation. Unfortunately, in today\u2019s chemical agriculture, importance is shown on soil fertility and not on the holistic soil health which provides an integrated sustainable mechanism to the soil to sustain its \u201cliving\u201d fabric of nature.<br \/>\r\nProf. Sultan Ismail will talk about the myriad of soil organisms, earthworms are one of the most vital components of the soil biota in terms of soil formation and maintenance of soil structure and fertility.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAbout Sultan Ahmed Ismail: Sultan Ahmed Ismail is an Indian soil biologist and ecologist. His work has centred on techniques for recycling biodegradable waste into fertilizer using local varieties of earthworms, and on soil bioremediation.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIsmail received a D.Sc. in Zoology from the University of Madras in 2001 for his research on the role of earthworms in soil ecology and waste management.

Composed and sung by Subendu, this is a performance of sheer breadth of traditions covered in an evening.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThis is a presentation to remind ourselves as we pass through a difficult period of communal tensions and violence, about India\u2019s secular commitment. The people of India have lived in peace and harmony over the ages. Despite differences in religions, they have all contributed to build a very rich and composite culture, and this is beautifully reflected in our literature and music. <br \/>\r\nThis programme is a musical journey through India\u2019s traditions of secular poetry, in a historical order beginning from the 13th century to the present day. Most of the music is composed and sung by Dr. Subhendu Ghosh and is based on Hindustani ragas or other musical forms including the traditional folk songs. The narrative includes a number of historical personalities like Hazrat Amir Khusro, Kabir, Mian Taan Sen, Bulle Shah, Lalan Faqir, Nazeer Akbarabadi, Ramprasad Bismil, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Rabindranath Tagore.<br \/>\r\nThis is a small effort to highlight the poetic genius of our Indian poets and pay our tribute to those who dedicated their lives to a Secular India.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEntry Free and Open to all on first-come-first-served-basis<br \/>\r\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">5035<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">Creative Hyderabadis Meetup<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lm_image_resize\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.lamakaan.com\/event_image\/48716c43ad59116209b7dd142b01039cf56ccb57\" \/><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Thu Mar 22, 7:00 PM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">Nina Cherla<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">CREATIVE HYDERABADIS is aimed for all the creative spirits out there.

For this they approached a police cop as criminals. In the beginning the cop is not ready to believe in them and asks them to establish their credentials by demonstrating their expertise and past accomplishments in the word of crime. To avoid them, the cop agrees to take them to the lock-up (Hawalaat) after tying their eyes. On the way they talk about political, ideological and social aspects of life and try to explain to the policemen how, like them he is also a mere pawn in the larger system, but he is not convinced. Instead of taking them the police station, the cop keeps them moving at one cross satire on the exploitation of the youth by the people sitting at the helm of affairs. The cop symbolizes the politicians of this country who have been be fooling the youth since Independence. In a highly intellectual manner the playwright has tried to expose the exploitation of the most energetic age group of the country.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\"Marnoprant\" written by Surendera Verma, directed by Jay Jha revolves around a triangular love story. The playwright unfolds the whole episode after the death of a young lady whose husband and the lover meet for the first time. Their encounter reveals the minute intricacies of man-woman relations and frustrations of extra marital affairs. Both embarrass each other by revealing the intimate moments they shared with the young lady. The dramatic action becomes even more interesting when it is shown that the husband comes to know about the relation after the death of his wife. <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\"Banerjee Babu\", Written by Avinash Matta, Directed by Jay Jha - Nobody loves him, nobody cares for him.

In times of fascism, caste question has emerged on the national agenda with a renewed emphasis as evident in the wake of some recent incidents such as the institutional murder of Rohith Vemula, Una episode and Bhima Koregaon violence. However, the nature of caste system in modern capitalist era is not the same as the one that prevailed in feudal medieval India or in pre-feudal ancient India. As against the widespread belief, caste system has not remained static throughout history. There have been both temporal and spatial variations. The caste structure in south India is not exactly same as that in north India. The relation between caste and class has also evolved over a period of time. These complexities need to be grasped in order to move towards annihilation of caste. Without having a concrete understanding of the origin, evolution and spatio-temporal variations of caste, no project of annihilation of caste can be devised. Also, it is important to have a critical look at the efforts made in the past towards the annihilation of caste including the anti-caste movements of Ayyankali, Phule, Periyar, Ambedkar and the communist movement.  It is because of this reason that Lamakaan is conducting an extensive 3-day long talk series on \u201cCaste: origin, evolution and proposed program for its annihilation\u201d. The talk will be delivered by Abhinav Sinha who is a Marxist theorist and activist. Abhinav has carried out extensive research and study on caste system.

In times of fascism, caste question has emerged on the national agenda with a renewed emphasis as evident in the wake of some recent incidents such as the institutional murder of Rohith Vemula, Una episode and Bhima Koregaon violence. However, the nature of caste system in modern capitalist era is not the same as the one that prevailed in feudal medieval India or in pre-feudal ancient India. As against the widespread belief, caste system has not remained static throughout history. There have been both temporal and spatial variations. The caste structure in south India is not exactly same as that in north India. The relation between caste and class has also evolved over a period of time. These complexities need to be grasped in order to move towards annihilation of caste. Without having a concrete understanding of the origin, evolution and spatio-temporal variations of caste, no project of annihilation of caste can be devised. Also, it is important to have a critical look at the efforts made in the past towards the annihilation of caste including the anti-caste movements of Ayyankali, Phule, Periyar, Ambedkar and the communist movement.  It is because of this reason that Lamakaan is conducting an extensive 3-day long talk series on \u201cCaste: origin, evolution and proposed program for its annihilation\u201d. The talk will be delivered by Abhinav Sinha who is a Marxist theorist and activist. Abhinav has carried out extensive research and study on caste system. The sessions would be organized as follows:<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDay 1. Origin and evolution of caste<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDay 2. Critical appraisal of the anti-caste movements of Ayyankali, Phule, Periyar, Ambedkar<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDay 3. Marxism and caste question<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn each day, the talk will be followed by an interactive session.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">4951<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">auditions<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lm_image_resize\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.lamakaan.com\/event_image\/c9244c85ea196339ee9805f81fe28517e1c319c3\" \/><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Fri Mar 30, 10:30 AM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">kishore sarella<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">auditions for an upcoming telugu film<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">4952<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">auditions<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lm_image_resize\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.lamakaan.com\/event_image\/17030564114d51a9bef0ca85f9978e028afb31f5\" \/><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Sat Mar 31, 10:30 AM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">kishore sarella<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">auditions for an upcoming telugu film<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">5005<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">Write Club Saturday General<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lm_image_resize\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.lamakaan.com\/event_image\/a5744e44b8b1d10e1adb4b0de976c05efa896018\" \/><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Sat Mar 31, 3:30 PM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">Write Club Hyderabad<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">Write Club Hyderabad helps you pen your thoughts, spill your mind and finally make an appointment with the writer in your head. We conduct free, weekly events that foster writing. Our Meetups aim at helping writers reach their goals in a supportive, collaborative, social setting. Writing doesn't have to be all by oneself. We welcome anyone who writes, regardless of genre, language or age. We have members writing novels, short stories, poetry, screenplays, essays, school reports and more. What we do, basically: One of the members of Write Club (anyone with a participation count over 2 consecutive meetups) hosts a session. They bring forth a theme and writing exercises. We all then write to the host\u2019s prompts and guidelines for about an hour. Once we're done writing, we read out our write-ups (optional). We also exchange feedback and constructively critique each other's works. Entry is free, anyone with an interest in writing can walk in. Bring your writing devices and we\u2019re all set! We promise to provide you with good coffee and a super-creative conversation. We have Write Club sessions every Saturday afternoon \u2013 3 to 6 PM<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">4955<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">Spring Fest- Two plays <\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Sat Mar 31, 3:30 PM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">Books n More,Library and Activity Centre<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">Books n More , Library and Activity Centre , proudly present two plays - Rumble in the Jungle presented by our Children's theatre workshop participants and another play presented by our Super Mom's theatre workshop participants .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <div class='lm_event'>\n    <div class=\"lm_id\">4734<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_title\">We are Theatre<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lm_image_resize\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.lamakaan.com\/event_image\/9e4dc2005eb1bdbc920efa5abaf3139a24269abc\" \/><\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_approved_date\">Sat Mar 31, 7:30 PM<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_organizer_name\">MANCH THEATRE<\/div>\n    <div class=\"lm_description\">\tWe are Theatre is a production of MANCH THEATRE on the Occasion of WORLD THEATRE DAY.
