HUMANIST YOUTH FORUM

Humanist Youth Forum was conceived some thirty years ago in 1977-78 when some younger members of the IRHA thought of working with the youth in colleges and universities. We wanted the youth to take up socio-cultural issues that have plagued our society for a long time. Issues like women, caste and population were among those thought of.

We did not want the youth to be lectured by seniors. We wanted the youth themselves to come out and say what they thought on those issues. The youth were expected to question those who spoke, and youth only were expected to reply. The seniors would be there of course but only to correct any speaker if he/she strayed.

This we tried for 3 days in various institutions of Delhi University in 1978 and we were encouraged. So we tried again in 1980 similarly.

The idea was not to organize a few youth activities or a few seminars on this issue or that. There were issues of our society that were festering for a long long time but were not attended to -- with disastrous consequences. We wanted the youth to start thinking on these issues on a continuing basis, we wanted to spread the idea organizationally as far as possible. We are taking it up after a long gap. India must start thing for itself.
