Statement by Academic Fraternity Against the Post-Poll Violence and Politics of Terror in Bengal Statement by Academic Fraternity Against the Post-poll Violence and Politics of Terror in Bengal Today, a large section of Bengali society is living under fear. Those who voted against the TMC in recent elections in Bengal are being victimized. Many of them are under attack from the TMC supported stormtroopers - their properties vandalized and livelihoods destroyed. There are reports that dozens of people, including women, have been killed in post-poll violence. Thousands of people have migrated to the adjoining states of Assam, Orissa, and Jharkhand due to fear of getting killed or raped by hooligans supported by the ruling party of Bengal. The police, local administration, civil society and media are either hand in gloves with the perpetrators or are silent, fearing the wrath of the state government. There are chances that the acts of violence and politics of terror perpetrated in Bengal can spread to other parts of India. Incidents such as the lynching of Mewalal, a member of the Mahadalit community, burning of 12 houses and trashing many others by anti-social elements in Purnea district of Bihar cannot be seen in isolation as these are adjoining areas of Bengal. We are deeply anxious and worried about the people who exercised their democratic right to free and fair vote, thus incurring the wrath of the ruling party in Bengal. We are deeply concerned about the weak and vulnerable sections of the society whose rights as citizens of India are being suppressed by the state government merely for exercising their right to freedom of expression and association. We, the undersigned academics, strongly condemn the post-poll violence in Bengal. We demand that state authorities should make all the efforts to end this lawlessness and build confidence among people in the state. We appeal for inquiry by independent authorities like NHRC, NCSC, NCBC, NCST, NCW etc. into this unprecedented violence in Bengal. We also appeal to Hon. Supreme Court to take suo moto notice of the matter and set up SIT to investigate the incidents. Such acts of violence and politics of terror undermine the constitution and destroy the basic building blocks of democracy. It should not be tolerated in the Republic of India.

A bstract This dissertation examines the responses of the Muslim community in Meerut city, in western Uttar Pradesh, India, to the rise of militant Hindu nationalism and to the anti-Muslim violence that shook Meerut in April-May 1987. I show how Meerut Muslims engaged in adaptive economic and political strategies in the wake of the 1987 violence and how these strategies culminated in a new style of participatory politics. This emerged under the leadership of the hitherto low status Qureshi (butcher) community. I show how Qureshi political activism has worked to create a Muslim political community which can be mobilised in terms both of civic and Muslim identities.
