Objectives of SAFE.

To ascertain the well-being of our country, we are to be true to the secular nature of our Indian constitution. To protect secularism is the prime duty of every citizen. The birth of each child,male or female, is totally secular and human. But the religious practices and customs and beliefs of the parents are slowly inculcated into him or her and is conditioned as a religious believer. Here the fundamental right of each person to be human and secular is unpardonably violated for no reason whatsoever. To be true to life, to nature and to cosmos, we are to hold on to the secular nature all throughout our life, just like our secular birth. It is our life-duty to protect this basic right. Upholding this secular nature all through our life is the basic objective of Secular Activists' Forum for Equality (SAFE).
