The South Asian Student Alliance [SASA] is following
up on last week's expose on emergent Fascism in India
by examining its links to Zionism in Israel.  The
dangerous situation unfolding in the 'Middle East' has
explosive consequences for South Asia.

Jaggi Singh will speak about the connections and also
speak about the particularities of being a militant
activist, as he calls it: being a bad protestor, of
South Asian desent.  It should be an interesting and
highly interactive evening.  Open discussion
and the participation of all is welcomed.

The event is next Tuesday, March 4, 2003 at 4pm in MBC
2290.  This is on the main campus at SFU on the same
floor as the student society offices.  For
