    Editors’ Note Teachers in charge: Mrs. Jyotsna Khanna Mrs. Jhimli Mitra Mrs. Aruna Madhusudan Front cover credits: Sakshi Dey Back cover credits: Sanjana Unni Divya Rangarajan Aakarsh Kankaria Our city went from the Chennai floods to the Chennai drought in two years. The contradiction is appalling and there is no one to blame but ourselves. We have been taking this resource for granted for far too long and its implications are now upon us. Being residents of Chennai, we felt the need to spread awareness on this issue. That was the primary reason for choosing this theme-Where’s My Water? People seem to remember this problem for one week but forget it in the next. We realized that we needed to communicate the message in a different manner. Thereby, we decided to talk about the benefits of water, reminding everyone of the abundant resources that water provides us with and why we need to conserve it. In this edition of Newsish, we have addressed the various facets of water including movies, wars, sunken ships and cities, lost treasures, wonders, machines, sports, and religious aspects. We would like to thank Omana Ma’am and all the teachers involved for giving us the opportunity to make this an E-Magazine. The idea behind opting for an online magazine was to put an end to the large amount of paper wastage we were incurring by publishing a printed edition.

  • Love Meets Death: “Honour,” Violence, and Inter-Caste Marriages in Tamil Nadu
    Love Meets Death: “Honour,” Violence, and Inter-caste Marriages in Tamil Nadu Perundevi Srinivasan* Introduction The decapitated body of a young man was found on a railway track near Pallipalayam village in Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu on June 24, 2015. The young man was identified as Gokulraj, a twenty-two-year-old engi- neering graduate from a Dalit caste (Paraiyar) from nearby Omalur in Salem district. Though it was initially speculated that he might have been run over by a train, post-mortem reports revealed that he had suffered multiple injuries prior to his death. The circumstances leading to this murder eventually became public. As the media reported it, Yuvaraj, the founder of Dheeran Chinnamalai Peravai, an outfit serving the “interests” of the Kongu Vellala Kavundar (hereafter, I will refer to it as Kavundar) caste, was allegedly involved in the murder.1 Yuvaraj and his accomplices, who belong to the caste outfit, are said to have abducted Gokulraj from the famous Siva-Ardhanariswarar temple, located at the top of a hillock in Tiruchengode, when they saw him along with his lover (kātali), a girl named Swathi of the Kavundar caste. The abduction was recorded by the temple’s CCTV camera and was subsequently listed as police evidence against the perpetrators. According to the police, the group took Gokulraj to a secluded place, murdered him, and dumped him on the railway track. The violence Dalit men face when they become romantically involved with or marry non-Dalit women from members of dominant caste groups is not entirely new to Tamil Nadu.

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.

  • Accountability for Mass Violence Examining the State’S Record
    Accountability for mass violence Examining the State’s record By Surabhi Chopra Pritarani Jha Anubha Rastogi Rekha Koli Suroor Mander Harsh Mander Centre for Equity Studies New Delhi May 2012 Preface Contemporary India has a troubled history of sporadic blood-letting in gruesome episodes of mass violence which targets men, women and sometimes children because of their religious identity. The Indian Constitution unequivocally guarantees equal legal rights, equal protection and security to religious minorities. However, the Indian State’s record of actually upholding the assurances in the secular democratic Constitution has been mixed. This study tries to map, understand and evaluate how effectively the State in free India has secured justice for victims of mass communal violence. It does so by relying primarily on the State’s own records relating to four major episodes of mass communal violence, using the powerful democratic instrument of the Right to Information Act 2005. In this way, it tries to hold up the mirror to governments, public authorities and institutions, to human rights workers and to survivors themselves. Since Independence, India has seen scores of group attacks on people targeted because of their religious identity1. Such violence is described in South Asia as communal violence. While there is insufficient rigorous research on numbers of people killed in religious massacres, one estimate suggests that 25,628 lives have been lost (including 1005 in police firings)2. The media has regularly reported on this violence, citizens’ groups have documented grave abuses and State complicity in violence, and government-appointed commissions of inquiry have gathered extensive evidence on it from victims, perpetrators and officials.

  • Nabam Rebia & Bamang Felix V. Deputy Speaker, Arunachal Legislative
    An Open Access Journal from The Law Brigade (Publishing) Group 380 NABAM REBIA & BAMANG FELIX V. DEPUTY SPEAKER, ARUNACHAL LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Written by Shruti Shekhar 3rd Year, BBA LLB (Hons.), Symbiosis Law School, Pune The judgment given on the 13th July,2016 by the five judge constitution bench comprising of Justices J.S. Khehar, Dipak Misra, Madan B. Lokur, P.C. Ghose and N.V. Ramana. This is said to be one of the landmark judgments in the history of democratic India. It was one of the biggest blows to the BJP government when Supreme Court gave the judgment of restoring back Congress-led Nabam Tuki government in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The five-judge constitution bench was passing orders after examination of constitutional schemes on the scope of discretionary powers of the Governor. The bench was essentially looking into constitutionality of State Governor J.P. Rajkhowa’s move to advance the Arunachal Assembly session, which eventually triggered a political crisis leading to the Congress-led Nabam Tuki government and proclamation of President’s rule in the State on January 26, 2016. Nabam Rebia is a politician from the Indian National Congress (INC) and a former member of the parliament representing Arunachal Pradesh in the Upper House of the Indian Parliament. Bamang Felix is an Indian politician from the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Felix was elected unopposed from the Nyapin seat in the 2014 Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, standing as a People's Party of Arunachal candidate.
