Compounding Injustice: India
INDIA 350 Fifth Ave 34 th Floor New York, N.Y. 10118-3299 http://www.hrw.org (212) 290-4700 Vol. 15, No. 3 (C) – July 2003 Afsara, a Muslim woman in her forties, clutches a photo of family members killed in the February-March 2002 communal violence in Gujarat. Five of her close family members were murdered, including her daughter. Afsara’s two remaining children survived but suffered serious burn injuries. Afsara filed a complaint with the police but believes that the police released those that she identified, along with many others. Like thousands of others in Gujarat she has little faith in getting justice and has few resources with which to rebuild her life. ©2003 Smita Narula/Human Rights Watch COMPOUNDING INJUSTICE: THE GOVERNMENT’S FAILURE TO REDRESS MASSACRES IN GUJARAT 1630 Connecticut Ave, N.W., Suite 500 2nd Floor, 2-12 Pentonville Road 15 Rue Van Campenhout Washington, DC 20009 London N1 9HF, UK 1000 Brussels, Belgium TEL (202) 612-4321 TEL: (44 20) 7713 1995 TEL (32 2) 732-2009 FAX (202) 612-4333 FAX: (44 20) 7713 1800 FAX (32 2) 732-0471 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] July 2003 Vol. 15, No. 3 (C) COMPOUNDING INJUSTICE: The Government's Failure to Redress Massacres in Gujarat Table of Contents I.

Report on International Religious Freedom 2006: India
India Page 1 of 22 India International Religious Freedom Report 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice. However, the Government sometimes did not act swiftly enough to counter effectively societal attacks against religious minorities and attempts by some leaders of state and local governments to limit religious freedom. This resulted in part from legal constraints on national government action inherent in the country's federal structure and from shortcomings in its law enforcement and justice systems, although courts regularly upheld the constitutional provision of religious freedom. Despite Government efforts to foster communal harmony, some extremists continued to view ineffective investigation and prosecution of attacks on religious minorities, particularly at the state and local level, as a signal that they could commit such violence with impunity, although numerous cases were in the courts at the end of the reporting period. While the National Government took positive steps in key areas to improve religious freedom, the status of religious freedom generally remained the same during the period covered by this report. The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) continued to implement an inclusive and secular platform based on respect for the country's traditions of secular government and religious tolerance, and the rights of religious minorities. Terrorists attempted to provoke religious conflict by attacking Hindu Temples in Ayodhya and Varanasi. The Government reacted in a swift manner to rein in Hindu extremists, prevent revenge attacks and reprisal, and assure the Muslim community of its safety. -

I have great pleasure in releasing “India Tourism Statistics 2012”. The Ministry of Tourism has been presenting tourism related data on a regular basis and this is the 55th in the series of such publications. The present publication contains data on Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs), Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) from tourism, domestic tourism, hotel, travel trade and training institutions in the field of travel and tourism besides sharing relevant details regarding the Second Tourism Satellite Account of India under the Chapter on Surveys & Studies. The Appendix to this publication includes relevant guidelines of various schemes of the Ministry of Tourism for wider dissemination of the same. During the year 2012, India registered a positive growth of 4.3% over 2011. This growth rate is better than UNWTO's estimated growth rate of 4% for the world as a whole in 2012. Further, with a share of 1.65% in the world's tourism receipts, India occupies the 16th rank. Within Asia & the Pacific Region, India's rank stands at the 7th position. -

Dh¯Ar, Bhoja and Sarasvat¯I: from Indology to Political Mythology And
Dhar,¯ Bhoja and Sarasvat¯ı: from Indology to Political Mythology and Back∗ MICHAEL WILLIS The Bhoj´sal¯ a¯ or ‘Hall of Bhoja’ is a term used to describe the centre for Sanskrit studies associated with King Bhoja, the most celebrated ruler of the Paramara¯ dynasty. The Bhoj´sal¯ a¯ is also linked to Sarasvat¯ı – the goddess of learning – whose shrine is said to have stood in the hall’s precinct. Since the early years of the twentieth century, the mosque adjacent to the tomb of Kamal¯ al-D¯ın Chisht¯ı in the town of Dhar¯ has been identified as the Bhoj´sal¯ a.¯ This has turned the building into a focal point of religious, social and political tension. Access to the site, currently under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India, has been marked by communal friction and disputes in the press and in the courts.1 Myaiminthis paper is not to chart this sorry tale of events; I only need note that the legal and political wrangles, not to mention a steady flow of inflammatory assertions, have formed a toxic backdrop to the scholarly publications cited in the pages that follow. A second issue beyond the scope of this paper is how the medieval history of Dhar¯ has played its part in the wider ‘invention of tradition’ and formation of modern Hindu identity. Stepping back from these concerns, my ambition here is rather modest: I seek only to explore how the mosque at Dhar¯ has come to be described as the Bhoj´sal¯ a¯ and, on this basis, to undertake an assessment of that identification.
