About

Nirmukta is a Sanskrit word that means “Freed”; “Liberated”. At Nirmukta, we are freed of dogma.

The purpose of Nirmukta is to promote events and ideas that concern the Freethought movement in India and South Asia.

Our objectives are:

• To foster public discourse on science and religion in an objective manner.
• To promote a naturalistic life philosophy as a moral and fulfilling alternative to supernatural religion.
• To provide a platform for the freethought community within India and South Asia.
• To consciously work towards building a culture of Secularism.
• To monitor genuine scientific controversies and expose the false ones.
• To promote a secular public policy in keeping with our constitution.
• To promote the principles of equality, communal harmony and basic human rights.
