[Reader-list] Punjabi Subaltern Summit - 2012, Chandigarh

[Pukhraj Singh]

You are cordially invited to attend the:
Punjabi Subaltern Summit - 2012 -- www.subaltern.in
Sunday, January 15, 2012, 11:00 AM to 05:00 PM
ICSSR Seminar Hall, Panjab University, Chandigarh

Agenda
The Punjabi Subaltern Summit is a one-of-its-kind conclave where
politicians, thinkers, change agents, writers, artists, academicians
and media professionals will try to find a common ground on the
pressing problems that plague our state. An attempt to break free from
the parochial structures that have suppressed the social narrative on
lesser-known issues like caste, religion, representation and
federalism. By harnessing the spirit and dialect of new media, it
strives to infuse the intellectual mainstream with a sense of purpose
and direction, bringing back the long-lost ebullience into its ethos.
This non-partisan forum is a bold attempt to reclaim the mantle of
Punjabiyat.

One of its immediate aims is to influence the pre-poll debate in
Punjab. We plan to organize this event every year in a bigger and
better format, expecting that it will become a fixture or an annual
pilgrimage for the regional intelligentsia.

For detailed information on the agenda and issues to be discussed,
