As the 15^th General Elections were round the corner, the South Asian Peoples’ Initiatives (SAPI) and the Indian Social Institute (ISI), New Delhi organized a three day workshop on "Preparing People's Manifesto" at Indian Social Institute, New Delhi, February 3-5. Over 110 participants from all over the country participated in this workshop, that primarily attempted to prepare a "people's’ manifesto" to be circulated prior to the elections.  Following this general National Level Manifesto, many states and also districts of some of the states took it up and prepared their own localized version of the manifesto in their own vernacular languages. Some of the publications that came out are here.

Dalit Vision for a New India: Campaign for a National Dalit Policy (both in English and Hindi) is a document born out of a series of deliberations by over 300 civil rights groups, Ambedkarites and grassroot activists in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Raipur, Patna, Madurai and Secunderabad for over 2 years. It is not an academic exercise, but rather a document that captures the deepening pains, agonies, aspirations and hopes of millions of poor dalits.

Rising from the Ashes: Voices of Courage and Inspiration, is a compilation of narratives of negation, assertion and sacrifices of individuals and groups. This booklet is a result of a training given to SAPI members on narrative writing skills which would become a tool for social transformation. It is a ray of hope that says "We can Build another world, a better world". The narratives are both in Hindi and English.
