This year, Mahishasur Day events reportedly will be held in more than 1000 venues across India (see here). We tried to mark on the map the locations where Mahishasur Day has been observed in the past and so far this year and this is what it looks like. Did you happen to attend an event in a place that hasn’t been marked? If you did, write a short report and send it to editor@forwardpress.in along with the numbers in attendance, major castes/tribes represented, the programme, contacts of the organizer(s) and photos. A short video of the event would be a super bonus!

    Any religion harvesting violence and hatred must be understood fully and reformed by its enlightened elites to save their own faiths.
