Karwan e Mohabbat (Caravan of Love) is a people’s campaign devoted to the universal values of the constitution, of solidarity, equality, freedom, justice and compassion. We support survivors of hate crimes and injustice with legal, social and livelihood help. We also make short films to reflect our values.
The Karwan e Mohabbat was initially crafted by Harsh Mander as a journey of atonement, solidarity, conscience and justice in response to escalated hate crimes and lynchings across India.
We were also drawn in to support impoverished people of contested citizenship, embrolied in the NRC maze, in Assam, and then after the amendment to citizenship laws, in the entire country.
After the lockdown created a humanitarian tragedy of mass hunger and unemployment on a scale not witnessed in decades, and the calamity of stranded and trapped migrants, the Karwan quickly adapted itself to try to respond with solidarity and provide relief to the most marginalised.
