Anti-Tags is a social revolution. Dictionary describes revolution as rebellion and uprising. Our method to cause this uprising is 'information'. A weapon so YOU can choose and think for yourself.
There are many people who we interact with, who don't just keep the prejudices in their hearts but systematically spread them too. Only if they were given the power to see what lies on the other side, were given unbiased information, they would be able to decide what they want to believe in and discard propaganda.
The movement 'anti-tags' stems from that idea. We are anti-communalism, anti-extremism, anti-polarization and pro-information. Some might also call us secular, liberal or even pseudo-secular-liberal. We believe, tags don't matter because we just want to be the bridge that closes the gap between the 'real' and the 'assumed'.
