  • Lost Childhoods Report
    Lost Childhoods A study on platform children and other children in distress in India Prepared by Udita Das Submitted to the Paul Hamlyn Foundation India programme March 2013 1 Contents Contents Background 2 Methodology 5 Research findings 6 Future strategy ideas 34 Appendices I. Interventions on justice for children 36 II. NCPCR: Perspectives on protection of child rights 42 III. Khushboo Jain vs. Ministry of Railways 44 Forward > 2 Lost Childhoods: A study on platform children and other children in distress Background India is home to over 400 million children under 18 years old. These children make up more than 55 per cent of the population. Based on state police records in 2005, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) stated that, on average, more than 44,000 children are reported missing in India each year. Around 11,000 of these children remain untraced.1 This number could actually be much higher, as many cases are never reported because the families of these children are from a marginalised background and do not have the ability to report the incident. It is estimated that there are 11 million street children living in India, most of whom live in and around railway stations. In Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, approximately 100,000–125,000 street children figure in the lists of missing, runaway, abandoned or trafficked children.2 Without support, these children are at risk of various forms of abuse and a lack of rights that not only denies them a childhood, but also forces them to grow up fast. Approximately 70,000 children arrive on station platforms in India per year.

  • 1 Mapping Monastic Geographicity Or Appeasing Ghosts of Monastic Subjects Indrani Chatterjee
    1 Mapping Monastic Geographicity Or Appeasing Ghosts of Monastic Subjects Indrani Chatterjee Rarely do the same apparitions inhabit the work of modern theorists of subjectivity, politics, ethnicity, the Sanskrit cosmopolis and medieval architecture at once. However, the South Asianist historian who ponders the work of Charles Taylor, Partha Chatterjee, James Scott and Sheldon Pollock cannot help notice the apparitions of monastic subjects within each. Tamara Sears has gestured at the same apparitions by pointing to the neglected study of monasteries (mathas) associated with Saiva temples.1 She finds the omission intriguing on two counts. First, these monasteries were built for and by significant teachers (gurus) who were identified as repositories of vast ritual, medical and spiritual knowledge, guides to their practice and over time, themselves manifestations of divinity and vehicles of human liberation from the bondage of life and suffering. Second, these monasteries were not studied even though some of these had existed into the early twentieth century. Sears implies that two processes have occurred simultaneously. Both are epistemological. One has resulted in a continuity of colonial- postcolonial politics of recognition. The identification of a site as ‘religious’ rested on the identification of a building as a temple or a mosque. Residential sites inhabited by religious figures did not qualify for preservation. The second is the foreshortening of scholarly horizons by disappeared buildings. Modern scholars, this suggests, can only study entities and relationships contemporaneous with them and perceptible to the senses, omitting those that evade such perception or have disappeared long ago. This is not as disheartening as one might fear.
