Indian transhumanist movement grows quickly

The Indian Transhumanist movement has seen much growth and improvement. We now stand at 111 members and about 343 occasional participants. Our efforts seeking sponsorship are also starting to appear promising. Out of that money we hope to be able to invite distinguished guests down for presentations at universities and other venues.

On August 19th ‘06, Italian Transhumanist colleague Gianni Lo Conti visited here in Kolkata. We had an extremely interesting discussion about a potential collaboration between the Transhumanists of Italy, Russia and India.

Our next steps are to establish an online presence for our members so that the world knows we’re there. Uniting our members for regular activism has been difficult due to everyone’s regular lives getting in the way, but we’ve got plans to attempt to double membership and set up a membership dues paying scheme so that we can finally start executing some funded activities.
