Page 6 of 19 CANNIBALISM AND ITS LEAKAGE WITH CRIMINOLOGY - PRIYAM Page 7 of 19 CANNIBALISM AND ITS LEAKAGE WITH CRIMINOLOGY ABSTRACT Today, if we go through various civilizations on the earth from ancient times to the date, humans have dined on human flesh. Whether it was done in the course of terrifying the enemy and gain his strength, cannibalism goes back a long way. We have seen various examples of individuals who have lonely enjoy and find eating one of their kinds satisfying. And if you think rationally and ask why they do so? There is just a simple but horrific answer to that that they do it because they have pleasure by doing so. In most cases, these activities are the consequences of a psychopathic personality. Some offenders of cannibalism are psychotic whereas many of them are well acquainted with the act while they are doing it. Such cannibal intensely describes the deformed feelings and distorted emotions which they have while doing such an act. They enjoy the process of murdering and cutting the body of the victim. Ultimately, this creates extreme satisfaction or some kind of euphoric state in the brain. In such a diverse world, in the huge subject of anthropology, cannibalism is one of the exotic topics. In the 21st Page 8 of 19 century, it does not matter to what extent you claim yourself adventurous and open-minded, but you will still think twice at the thought of eating human flesh. Cannibalism, as much as any other practice, still represents a limit to cultural relativism. However, because of colonialism and evangelization, cannibalism is almost entirely outdated. Page 9 of 19 Introduction We have read and listened about that animal eating other animals like a lion eating a deer, but society is heading towards human eating human world. In 2005 and 2006 a case which was a sheer example of cruelty and deformed mindset came out in light famously known as Nithari serial murders or Nithari kand. The incident occurred in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The case came into the limelight when the number of children got disappeared suddenly in a series and some teenagers too and most of them are girls. Slowly, the investigation led the police to a resident of Moninder Singh Pandher in Nithari village. And in between in the village people at intervals of time found some remains of the human body, skeletons, skulls, etc. which had made the situation more scary and brutal at that time. Afterwards, according to the facts and circumstantial shreds of evidence, it was discovered that there are two accused behind all this inhumane crime. First, Moninder Singh Pandher and second his servant, Surinder Koli. Later, CBI took them in custody and further Surinder Koli confessed that he abducted the children, sexually assaulted them, and later cut Page 10 of 19 them into pieces, cook and eat them, and later disposed of the remains of the body nearby. His employer Moninder Singh Pandher was not accused in all the cases but he was a womanizer and also a convict of sexual assault of abducted children and young girls. After reading this sort of real-life example we can say that it is a case of sexual abuse, murder, attempted necrophilia but also a well-established example of cannibalism. In this article, we are going to discuss crime connected with deformity of mindset known as cannibalism. Nowadays, with changing scenarios of society cannibalism is taking place more frequently. Maybe cannibalism is related to some illness, psychological abnormality, etc. but the method and its consequences is overall a crime. In ancient times it was somewhere a part of some tribal societies as a part of their culture but now it is happening within our society and creating fear in our minds. The root word cannibal comes from the Spanish caníbal, caríbal “savage, cannibal”. It came from Caniba, which Columbus recorded for the Carib tribe Page 11 of 19 (from which the name Caribbean was also derived). This tribe was reputed to be anthropophagous, and thus greatly feared. Cannibalism means the practice of eating the flesh of a human or of one's kind which inhumane cruelty is. It formed a practice in earlier times which was followed by many people in countries like Prehistoric Europe, South America, New Guinea, and Fiji. It has been encountered that in ancient times it was accepted for reasons of survival when faced with the extreme need or for religious or magic reasons. Anthropological data represents that millions of years ago the link between Neanderthals and Homosapiens was cannibalistic for nutritional reasons. In today's framework, these types of cases are extremely rare but when traced in society it is often related to some sort of severe mental illness. In India, just like Nithari kand, various other cases have taken place in metro cities where the accused consumed his victim. Cannibalism takes place in tribal groups such as Andaman and Nicobar islands where people eat human flesh. In India, the famous section of Aghoris eats human flesh in the name of religious rituals and superstitions that eating another human will keep them young and make them immortal. Page 12 of 19 Several times it has been observed that aghoris took dead bodies from cremation ghats for eating their flesh. Sometimes this cannibalism moves one step forward in the form of sexual cannibalism where the accused either sexually assault the victim before his or her death or after his or her death or then later consume his or her dead body too. Various studies show that cannibalism is anti-social and highly impulsive and is a sign of abnormal behaviour of the accused. Analyzing in detail it was opined that it is psychopathological. The person who is accused of these kinds of crimes has some sort of history of deviant behaviour, impulsiveness, depressing childhood, has no feelings of remorse, and also has pleasure in given giving pain to others. If we try to find the characteristics of such offenders in people who genuinely have it is a difficult task. They are not easily traceable, these types of people act normally and socialize like normal people but in reality that has a deformed mind and grotesque mindset which is always ready to catch people for making their prey. These kinds of offenders have some factors in common, like- Having a family history of some kind of mental illness. Page 13 of 19 Some pregnancy birth complications, such as malnutrition or exposure to toxins or viruses that may impact brain development. Taking mind-altering drugs during teen years and young adulthood. If we closely examine we can see that apart from these above- mentioned reasons there is one more important and trending reason behind this social issue is overpopulation and the presence of alternative nutrition facilities. All over the world, there is a population boom no matter it is at a slow or fast pace but it is there. And for this huge population, the nutrition available in nature is getting scarce. For fulfilling their needs people resort to other human beings for their nutrition. And when these problems get assorted with any or some kind of psychopath problems the situation becomes fierce. Types of Cannibalism- There are four types of cannibalism existing in our society or we can say they are the reason behind cannibalism- Page 14 of 19 Survival Cannibalism- Several times cannibalism is committed for survival.

    REPORT OF THE NHRC COMMITTEE ON MISSING CHILDREN Presented by: P.C. Sharma Member, NHRC & Chairman of the Committee 1 C O N T E N T S FOREWORD 1. Constitution of the Committee at NHRC to Examine the Problem of Missing Children. 2. Situational Analysis of Missing Children in India. 3. Procedure Adopted by the NHRC Committee for Evolving Guidelines to Deal with Cases of Missing Children. 4. Issues Concerning Missing Children Dealt by the NHRC Committee. 5. Recommendations/Suggestions of the NHRC Committee. 6. Conclusions 7. Supreme Court Guidelines 8. Write-up on Missing Children by CBI. 2 FOREWORD Children are the nation‟s assets. A happy child will make his/her home and the country happy. The future of any country depends upon the right upbringing of its children, for which a congenial environment and adequate opportunities for wholesome development are essential. According to UNICEF‟s “The State of the World‟s Children,” report for 2006, one-third of the world‟s children lack adequate shelter, 31% lack basic sanitation and 21% have no access to clean, potable water. Illness, malnutrition, and premature death are common when children lack the most basic protection. The brutal killing of several innocent children in Nithari sparked off nation wide indignation on the abuse to which the victims were subjected and gross violations of their human rights It was shame that shook the nation‟s conscience. In order to put an end to this callous indifference and insecurity with regard to the protection of children and to prevent more lives from being lost in similar crimes, the National Human Rights Commission constituted a Committee to look into the issue of „missing‟ children.

  • Deki CSR Report for 2018-19
    Deki CSR Report for 2018-19 Consistent with Deki’s prime CSR mission of undertaking initiatives to improve the educational and economic well-being of girls and women from disadvantaged backgrounds, we began exploring a collaborative project focused on menstrual health with Mooncatcher – a philanthropic organization based in Albany, New York. The centerpiece of Mooncatcher’s activity is a reusable menstrual management kit that it distributes without charge to schoolgirls with the goal of allowing them to continue their education uninterrupted. In addition, their work also includes an educational element that provides instruction on not only the biological basis of menstruation but also how to manage it – a critical gap in the typical curriculum in developing countries. In addition, Mooncatcher’s operational model is to also provide employment to local women for the production of reusable pads. It is also critical to note the use of these reusable pads works toward reducing landfill waste that would otherwise result from the use of disposable pads. Our productive discussions with Mooncatcher early in 2018 led to a formative visit to Delhi by the organization’s Founder and Executive Director, Ellie von Wellsheim in October 2018. Our plans to establish a production center and supply-chain of materials took shape and by November 2018 we started a facility in NOIDA employing 6 local women. All materials and sewing equipment are sourced locally. With rising productivity, the staff has already exceeded the production targets that we set. Essential to the project is connecting with local school administrators to sessions with female students already experiencing menstruation.
