Year 2015. Version 1.0. The Humsafar Trust Page 1 SANCHAAR Media Guide: A Recommended Language Manual For Improved Reporting On Sexual Minorities In India FOREWORD The lexicon of same-sex relations in the human is sparsely populated. And that is not only because it was not understood but because it was stigmatised by religion and mainstream heterosexual society. Even today, the term “sodomy” and “catamites” are used in many legal documents and discourses in the USA and these were derived from Biblical texts. The first stirrings of movement on a rational basis to describe same-sex relations started in Europe a little before the region plunged into what are called World War I and World War II. Both were really wars fought by European Nation States and drew in both resources and knowledge from the colonies. Thus Edward Carpenter in England, Magnus Hirschfield in Germany, Havelock Ellis is Austria, all tried their hand at “naming” this phenomenon which was ancient in that they find mention in all human societies across the globe obviously making it a cross=species sexual behaviour. However, as the Upanishads say: “Defining reality or verbalising it – the’Vakas it is called in Sanskrit, took a very long time in secular sciences.

    1. Letter to Children of Bal Mandir

    1. LETTER TO CHILDREN OF BAL MANDIR KARACHI, February 4, 1929 CHILDREN OF BAL MANDIR, The children of the Bal Mandir1are too mischievous. What kind of mischief was this that led to Hari breaking his arm? Shouldn’t there be some limit to playing pranks? Let each child give his or her reply. QUESTION TWO: Does any child still eat spices? Will those who eat them stop doing so? Those of you who have given up spices, do you feel tempted to eat them? If so, why do you feel that way? QUESTION THREE: Does any of you now make noise in the class or the kitchen? Remember that all of you have promised me that you will make no noise. In Karachi it is not so cold as they tried to frighten me by saying it would be. I am writing this letter at 4 o’clock. The post is cleared early. Reading by mistake four instead of three, I got up at three. I didn’t then feel inclined to sleep for one hour. As a result, I had one hour more for writing letters to the Udyoga Mandir2. How nice ! Blessings from BAPU From a photostat of the Gujarati: G.N. 9222 1 An infant school in the Sabarmati Ashram 2 Since the new constitution published on June 14, 1928 the Ashram was renamed Udyoga Mandir.

I believe that no better arrangements could have been made than what has come about without any special planning.

    NEWSLETTER JULY 2020 Page 1 of 56 PRESIDENT'S LETTER I worry about our emerging world, I really think with all our bubble wrapping, we as humans are losing our resilient nature. Our capability to deal with life, CV 19 has increased the pressure and stress on our entire world. When we become resilient, we learn through experience, how to embrace the beautifully broad spectrum of human nature, we learn it’s ok and normal to fail, we learn to rebound and always stand back up and fail forward. Bubble wrapping our children creates bigger and future problems for them and their ability to function in this diverse world. We must encourage support them but also challenge them, push them and above all love them regardless. Dear Friends, For those of you in the Muslim faith I wish you health and prosperity at this very special time.
