PASSION
FOR TRUTH
Our Mission:
To give a media
voice to the underprivileged and minority communities and individuals
by inviting them to be panelist on our panel discussion TV WEEKLY program “PASSION
FOR TRUTH” which is being produced and aired on the cable community TV
channels of Washington DC metropolitan area (the most powerful city of the
world).
To define the TRUE
DEMOCRACY by picking subjects
of discussion by which the panelists will compare the working of the present
democracies of the world. Democracy
cannot be achieved by elections alone but must also have the democratic
institutions to ensure the Rule of Law, Protection of Minorities and Human
rights etc. The yard-stick to check any other democracy in the world can be the
working of democracy of the United States of America.
Since 1993 ”PASION FOR TRUTH” is also
an avenue for networking between like minded organizations to establish and
nurture meaningful projects and dialogues - whether social, cultural or
political- to promote essential democratic institutions in
all so-called democracies of the world, harmony, understanding and reciprocity
in our villages, towns and cities.
”PASSION FOR TRUTH”
promotes a common vision based on the belief that the freedom of speech is the
basic right of each and every individual in the world.
Accordingly, “PASSION
FOR TRUTH” has sought to fulfill its mission not only by informing, and
educating but also by participating in cross cultural and political exchanges
to ensure that the promises and benefits of democracy are realized by all.
We at “PASSION
FOR TRUTH” believe that the development of enlightened and progressive
societies can be made possible by socially conscious groups of people who make
a commitment to develop and direct human potential.
