  • Politicians in the World's Largest Democracy Make Light of Rape
    بسم هللا الرحمن الرحيم Politicians in the World’s Largest Democracy Make Light of Rape - Raising the Question: How can Any Woman have Trust in the Secular System to Protect their Dignity? On Tuesday 1st July, the media reported on statements by the Indian MP Tapas Pal from the Trinamool Congress Party, who threatened rape of female relatives of a rival political party. The outrageous remarks were made at an address to followers and were caught on video. Trinamool Congress is the 4th largest party in the Indian parliament and rules over the state of West Bengal. This is just the latest of a series of derogatory, insensitive comments made by Indian politicians from various parties regarding rape. In April, Mulayam Singh Yadav, leader of the Samajwadi Party which rules India’s biggest state, Utter Pradesh where there has been a spate of sexual attacks on women in recent times, said regarding these crimes, “Boys will be boys. They commit mistakes... Should they be hanged for rape?” This June, Chhattisgarh State Minister for Law and Order, Ramsevak Paikra who is from the national ruling party, the BJP suggested that rapes do not happen on purpose but accidentally. A few days after Paikra’s comments, and just a week after the horrific gang-rape and murder of two young girls in Utter Pradesh, Babulal Gaur, Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh state and also a member of the BJP shamefully remarked that rape is, “sometimes right and sometimes wrong”. Such sickening remarks are being made by lawmakers in a country where there is currently an epidemic of sexual violence against women.

  • Toxic Lunch in Bhopal and Chemical Publics
    Article Science, Technology, & Human Values 2016, Vol. 41(5) 849-875 ª The Author(s) 2016 Toxic Lunch in Bhopal Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0162243916645196 and Chemical Publics sthv.sagepub.com Rahul Mukherjee1 Abstract On November 28, 2009, as part of events marking the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the disaster at the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, gas survivors protested the contents of the report prepared by government scientists that mocked their complaints about contamination. The survivors shifted from the scientific document to a mediated lunch invitation performance, purporting to serve the same chemicals as food that the report had categorized as having no toxic effects. I argue that the lunch spread, consisting of soil and water from the pesticide plant, explicitly front-staged and highlighted the survivor’s forced intimate relationship with such chemicals, in order to reshape public perception of risks from toxins. Chemical matter like sevin tar and naphthol tar bound politicians, scien- tists, corporations, affected communities, and activists together, as these stakeholders debated the potential effects of toxic substances. This gave rise to an issue-based ‘‘chemical public.’’ Borrowing from such theoretical concepts as ‘‘ontologically heterogeneous publics’’ and ‘‘agential realism,’’ I track the existing and emerging publics related to the disaster and the campaigns led by the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal advocacy group. 1University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia,

    THE DYNAMICS OF THE DEMOBILIZATION OF THE PROTEST CAMPAIGN IN ASSAM Tijen Demirel-Pegg Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Abstract: This study highlights the role that critical events play in the demobilization of protest campaigns. Social movement scholars suggest that protest campaigns demobilize as a consequence of polarization within the campaign or the cooptation of the campaign leaders. I offer critical events as an alternative causal mechanism and argue that protest campaigns in ethnically divided societies are particularly combustible as they have the potential to trigger unintended or unorchestrated communal violence. When such violence occurs, elite strategies change, mass support declines and the campaign demobilizes. An empirical investigation of the dynamics of the demobilization phase of the anti-foreigner protest campaign in Assam, India between 1979 and 1985 confirms this argument. A single group analysis is conducted to compare the dynamics of the campaign before and after the communal violence by using time series event data collected from The Indian Express, a national newspaper. The study has wider implications for the literature on collective action as it illuminates the dynamic and complex nature of protest campaigns.
