In 1986, it was suggested to spiritual mentor and head of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission in India that November 25 (Sadhu Vaswani's Birthday) be celebrated as an International Meatless Day and since then, the campaign has met with considerable success in that, tons of individuals send their pledges to the Mission to go meatless on this day. SALAAM appreciates your commitment to avoid meat, cruelty and help to Stop All Killings! Visit our website for more info and to sign the pledge. we proudly welcome this month's Tunefulness musical segment showcasing the Sunny Jain Collective featuring Rez Abbasi and Tom Shad (from the Blue Man Group) .

Remember, SALAAM's Tunefulness segment gives our musical talents a chance to reach out and make their CD's available to you. Please support by enjoying their live performances and then purchasing their CD at the gig. our Community Corner group, SAMAR Magazine (represented by Sujani Reddy and Anandaroop Roy), will have complimentary copies of Issue 14: The South Asian American Generation and will have the current issue, Dogmas of War available stand-up comedian, Atul Singh on the mic -- Explicit language will be used.

When They Started Bombing... uses personal narrative and an array of images from news television to make a complicated statement about the US bombings of Afghanistan as well as past military expeditions, the role of media during wartime, and the effects of September 11 on the lives of immigrants. The narrator tells a shared story of displacement and disillusionment while attempting, and often failing, to disrupt the television images from the machinery of "infotainment." Bina Sharif and Geeta Citygirl are a mother and daughter at odds in this excerpt from the upcoming production of "Democracy in Islam" (opening December 5th at Theater for the New City in NYC).
