[IMC Bombay] [Imc-india] Re: [IMC-Process] Re: constructive support for Madurai collective?

[Harsh Kapoor]

Friends, at the IMC India / Madurai collective,

I write to you with deep sense of concern at the massive misuse of a 
progressive space like IMC open publishing area by organised 
activists of the Hindu far right. I am expressing here concerns of a 
large number of people in the progressive circuits in India, South 
Asia.

I or others raising their voice on this issue have no personal axe to 
grind. We would like to see some immediate action to curtail 
diffusion of hateful and violently anti minority content from the IMC 
India newswire.

Some of us have already written to you re this. So please respond. 
This isnt just your problem, it should be our collective concern.

A lack of response from your end likely to be misconstrued by many.
