Leave India Notice

The community was deeply shocked to learn that a young Aurovilian and member of the Residents Assembly Working Committee, had been served with a Leave India Notice on 15th February. No official explanation has been given. However, The Auroville International (AVI) Board sent a letter to the Governing Board (https://evolvingauroville.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e1149c843190d610f574f2df9&id=4b34bb8e9b&e=1ef10315b4), noting that the Notice raises “suspicion… that this serious measure is a retaliation for [Mael’s] commitment to the governance of the Auroville community.” The RA Working Committee reports that they are actively looking into the situation and are hopeful that compassion and reason will prevail, for “We have faith in the goodwill of Mother India”.

In light of the ‘Leave India’ notice, Aurovilians organised a choir event for 5.30pm on Tuesday 28th February at Solar Kitchen parking, where they invited everyone to get together and sing a song of hope for the future. Solar Kitchen provided dinner afterwards.
