The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Recently, an Atheist meet-up scheduled to take place on April 10th in Maharashtra had to be postponed because of opposition from Hindutva groups. The conference called the “7th Nastik Melava 2022 (7th Atheist Conference 2022)” was organized by the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Vicharmanch. Nitin Hande, one of the event organizers, was informed by the police that “organizing such an event on the day of Ram Navami festival (the festival that celebrates the birthday of Hindu God Lord Rama) may cause law and order problems.” Hande said that the police claimed that various unnamed organizations believe that “the atheist conference is [purposefully] planned on Ram Navami for hurting the sentiments of the believers.” Hande and his team, through a letter, requested the police to assist with the conference, explaining that it was a “non-political program, which does not aim to hurt anybody.” However, the police claimed they had not received any complaint from the Hindu Festival organizers. They still asked the atheist conference organizers to move the event to April 24th. Moreover, the police also demanded a list of the topics and scripts of speeches to be given at the conference, although this was never required for the six previous meetings.
