It is a purposeful event to build cohesive societies where no one has to live in apprehension or fear of the other. At this point in time, it is merely a small step in planting the seeds of harmony in our approach to life through the medium of poetry, but it is a giant leap for the Urdu-Hindi speaking communities, nearly a fourth of the world population.

Copy of Film and Book: if you wish to receive a copy of each, please donate the amount to defray the cost of printing and shipping at http://americatogetherfoundation.com/donate/
Website: If we receive enough donations, or some one sponsors, a website will be organized to communicate pluralism in Urdu and Hindi languages in three scripts - Roman English, Hindi and Urdu.
Long term Plan: It is a ten year plan, we hope that the theme will become a common household theme in the years to come. One day, it will be reflected in most movie songs, Kavi Sammelans' and Mushaera's - and gradually germinate into other languages. A decade from now, you can take pride in seeding a thought that you invested in nurturing a culture of inclusiveness, co-existence and pluralism. Would you be willing to propagate this idea?
Who does not want to live in a world where there is less conflicts and more acceptance? Shouldn't we do something about it? Here is one such small step.
