Independence Day 2025: Resolution
We, citizens or relatives of India, swear by the Constitution that we will not discriminate against any human being in this country or in the world on the basis of caste, religion, class, gender, language, region or the like. Let us maintain unity among all, together with all our brothers and sisters.
Proposed by National Coordination of People's Movements Sadbhava Forum's appeal for Independence Day
In some places of Maharashtra, especially in rural areas, highly condemnable incidents of exclusion of specific communities through Gram Panchayat/Village Sabha decisions are taking place. Of course, Yamage is the hand of people with distorted mentality who reject the Constitution, do not believe in the values of equality, secularism and believe that the country has specific religions. Their bullying continues in local politics. Such a resolution is sought only because of the lack of power to get it after being attacked, and the cost of taking it is an extraordinary experience.
Or in the background or in the Gram Sabha of 15th August, the Gram Sabha, other local self-government institutions and even schools, colleges, housing societies, institutions, at the Ward Sabha level - even at the individual level - should take the following resolution, in this behalf, there should be a discussion on the subject and there should be a proclamation of the values in the Constitution, there is such a call.

Suppliers are hurting too, especially those heavily tied to US orders. Several told us brands are pushing the full tariff burden onto them. Some can’t even ship goods already made because they’re being asked to absorb costs they simply can’t carry.
Some suppliers shared what they were told on calls: “If you agree to take on the additional costs now, we’ll keep the orders; otherwise, we’ll move production to Bangladesh.”

TTCU, representing more than 12,000 women workers across Tamil Nadu. Our union is built by and for women who understand what it means to be a low-wage worker facing both gender and caste discrimination.
At TTCU, we work directly with factories and international brands to show that businesses can thrive while treating women workers with dignity. Recently, we achieved a major victory by signing the Dindigul Agreement – the first enforceable brand agreement in Asia's textile industry that specifically tackles gender-based violence and harassment.
Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) member Sudama Prasad had, in the Lok Sabha, asked for the “details of categories of valid documents that are required for people to prove citizenship in India”.
The Union home ministry, in an answer to a Lok Sabha question, did not specify the “categories of valid documents” that someone would need to prove citizenship in India. It said that citizenship is governed by the Citizenship Act, 1955 and its rules, the Ministry said.
