ANHAD (Act Now for Harmony and Democracy) was formed in the first week of March 2003. ANHAD means without limits. ANHAD was conceived less as an organization and more as a platform and a very loose movement, which would be absolutely action oriented. Like any other progressive voluntary organisation the work of ANHAD evolved with experience. Yet, some areas were identified for initial focus. These were cultural action, social mobilisation, defence of civil liberties and work in the diaspora. The cultural action is conceived as intervention in daily life practices through popular and folk culture, syncretic and tolerance systems of faith and the building of communities invested in pluralism, while challenging hatred, obscurantism and superstition. ANHAD has worked in many parts of the country. The endeavour was to create a fraternity of secular activists who would through their interaction with the local people bring into being small secular communities for ensuring peace and social understanding. Each locality has its own peculiarities in cultural practices and social relations, which were given particular attention while organizing the activities of ANHAD. Over the past 16 years ANHAD has reached out to thousands of secular groups across India through many national level campaigns, conventions, training workshops. What binds the diverse and dispersed strands of the large secular alliance is the resolute and shared defence of democracy, equity, secularism and justice. ANHAD means without limits. We envisage it as an inclusive institution in which everyone who stands for democracy, secularism, justice and peace can participate. ANHAD actively works on issues related to democracy, secularism, communal harmony, gender equality, women empowerment and justice. It fights for human rights and rights of the marginalised communities. Anhad is involved in relief, rehabilitation, livelihood, women empowerment, vocational training, literacy and education. Anhad celebrates cultural diversity and pluralism. It intervenes at the policy level and is a strong advocacy group at the national level.
