Bandhutva Peace & Truth Association

You can find the Bandhutva Peace & Truth Association down in Gali No.11 in Patwari Nagla, over in the Fort Enclave area off Baraula Road. It’s a bit of a maze getting here if you don’t know the turns, but once you’re in Gali 11, we’re easy to spot. We aren't a big, polished organization with a marketing team or a board of directors. We are just a group of people who wanted to create a space for peace and truth in our local area. The office is small and often smells like incense and old paper. We spend a lot of time just sitting and talking with anyone who wanders in from the street. It’s a very informal atmosphere. We don't have fancy titles or a strict hierarchy. If the floor needs sweeping, whoever is closest grabs the broom and gets it done. Our hope is to just be a good influence on Baraula Road and help settle things when they get a bit heated in the neighborhood. Sometimes we organize small meetings or just share a meal while we discuss the local news. It’s a humble setup, but we think there is value in staying local and being accessible to the people who live in the enclave. We’ve had our share of struggles keeping the lights on and the rent paid, but we manage because the community supports us. It’s a real, human effort and we don't try to pretend to be anything more.
