CELEBRATE 26th INTERNATIONAL RATIONALIST DAY

On this day—1 march 1985, 25 years ago Prabir Ghosh founded the Rationalist Association [Science & Rationalists Association of India or Bharatiya Bigyan O Yuktibadi Samiti]. The organization started its long journey with relentless struggle against superstition and blind faith – its chief aim being a better society without deprivation and economic differences. Spiritualism and religiosity had been used in India as a tool for exploitation for ages. So along with anti-superstition programs, the aim of the organization gradually spread over to a total social philosophy of Neo-socialism. The concept of self-reliant villages and classless democratic societies where people live in self-sufficient communes has gained popularity throughout the world. ### This year to commemorate the occasion of its silver jubilee the Association has organized a 2 day conference on 6th and 7th March, 2010 in Kolkata. On these 2 days delegates from all over will meet, discuss problems and attend workshops from 10 in the morning till night. On the second day we have a program in the evening from 5 pm that is open to all. We will felicitate the folk-song exponent Swapan Basu and listen to his songs. It will be followed by our well-known anti-supernatural program “Aloukik Noy, Loukik” [Natural, not Supernatural] by our members. Venue: Juba Kendra, Moulali. [Near Sealdah station, Kolkata] Date: 7 March, 2010 from 5pm. JOIN THE FUNCTION, BRING YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS
