This Guide is aimed to strengthen this process and provide guidelines for the creation of secular communities at the grass-roots level. It is not a blue-print for action, but only suggestions for making effective intervention possible. While drawing up these guidelines, it is assumed that the activists would be able to make necessary innovations according to the prevailing local situation. The guide consists of two parts. The first part consists of two essays.
Myths are integral to communal propaganda.
There are scores of them disseminated through both traditional and modern network of communication at the command of communal organisations. The second part of the guide picks up some of these myths and presents facts to counter them. Sections on each one of them has a reading list which those who like to pursue further can make use of. It contains suggestions about the manner in which the secular activists could organise their work. The fifth part lists the existing resources for secular action available in print as well as in audio and video media .
