The Alternative Law Forum, in collaboration with the School of Law of Christ University, is organising a two-day seminar on ‘Human Rights in Contemporary India: Emerging Challenges.’ The seminar will be held on the campus of Christ University in Bangalore on Dec 19th and 20th, 2009, and features presentations on a number of pressing issues by leading academics, public interest lawyers and NGO representatives. Details of the event, including the programme and the people to contact if you are interested in attending, are available here.

We hope to post a summary of proceedings in the near future. If any of our contributors/readers are able to attend, it would be great to have their reactions or thoughts on the presentations and discussions. Given the quality of people involved, this promises to be something to watch out for.
