Sponsors Media Partner 2 The Idea Remembering legendary beginnings provides us the occasion to redefine and make contemporary the history we set out to honour. We need to complicate the idea of origins and `firsts’ because they highlight some dimensions of film culture and usage over others, and obscure the wider network of media technologies, cultural practices, and audiences which made cinema possible. In India, it is a matter of debate whether D.G. Phalke's Raja Harishchandra (1913), popularly referred to as the first Indian feature film, deserves that accolade. As Rosie Thomas has shown, earlier instances of the story film can be identified, includingAlibaba (Hiralal Sen, 1903), an Arabian Nights fantasy which would point to the presence of a different cultural universe from that provided by Phalke's Hindu mythological film. Such a revisionary history is critical to our research agenda.

  • 'Women's* Groups Seek Gender Justice for Trans and Gender Non-Conforming Persons
    'Women's* Groups Seek Gender Justice For Trans and Gender Non-conforming Persons To Members of the Rajya Sabha As 'women' and 'women's groups' with a long history of working on issues of gender justice and with survivors of sexual violence, we submit serious concerns on several aspects of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill 2019 (henceforth referred to as the Bill). As already asserted by many from the trans community, the Bill goes against the spirit of the landmark NALSA judgment that for the first time in India, recognised the right to self-identification of transgender persons and affirmed their citizenship, rights, protections and entitlements in various spheres of life. That the judgment set the framework for remedial and affirmative steps against the systemic gendered discrimination and social marginalisation of the community made this a significant victory, not just for the trans community, but for all of us. Yet, the Bill that has been passed by the Lok Sabha and is set to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha fails abysmally in its stated intent to secure the rights of transgender persons and people identifying with non-binary genders. Shockingly, it also features clauses that humiliate and further dispossess trans individuals and communities by not recognising the gendered and patriarchal nature of their oppression. Hence, we convened a National Consultation between 'women's' groups, LBT and trans groups and individuals in Delhi on 28-29 September 2019, consequent to which we write to you with a sense of urgency. 1. ON GENDERED VIOLENCE AND DISCRIMINATION we, as 'women' and 'women's groups, state that sexual violence against trans persons can NOT be punished with lower sentences than equivalent sexual crimes against cisgender women.

  • Read Latest Edition
    EDITORIAL “The most beautiful moments always seemed to accelerate and slip beyond one’s grasp just when you want to hold onto them for as long as possible.” - E.A. Bucchianeri So much has happened since our last issue of Whistling Teal in July 2019. The year has woven itself into a beautiful tapestry of interconnected events; enhancing the vibrancy of our University. These include SNU being chosen as an ‘Institution of Eminence’ and being the recipient of the NAAC, ‘A’ grade. These positive accomplishments reflect upon the strength of the entire community at SNU - from our students, professors, guards, librarians, DH staff and administrative personnel - worked in solidarity to make this a possibility. Our University has also been expanding. The School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SoHSS) now boasts of an Archaeology Laboratory in the D Block. A new Data Centre has been set-up to meet the increasing requirement of computing power, and offer high availability of IT services to the University. These are just a few of the year’s highlights, and the issue reveals several more. The year saw our students shine brighter than ever on all fronts; academic and extracurricular. The results of the 5th OUR Conference are a testament to the collaborative effort of students and teachers. It is truly a reflection of the University’s rigorous focus on research at the undergraduate level. It is worthy of note that students also won prestigious awards like BIRAC-SRISTI: GYTI 2019 and Smart India Hackathon. Read more about these achievements in the Research, Accolades and OUR sections of the magazine.

  • Citizens' Solidarity with Voices of Democracy
    Citizens’ Solidarity with Voices of Democracy We condemn the arrest of five human rights activists, professors and lawyers in connection with the Bhima-Koregaon clashes early this year. The alarming arrest of Advocate and General Secretary of Indian Association of Peoples’ Lawyers (IAPL) Surendra Gadling, Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP) Public Relations Secretary Rona Wilson, Head of English Department Professor Shoma Sen of Nagpur University and member of Women against Sexual Violence and State Repression (WSS), cultural activist and founder of Republican Panthers Jaatiya Antachi Chalwal Sudhir Dhawale and anti-displacement activist and Prime Ministers Rural Development Fellow (PMRDF) Mahesh Raut is a clear manifestation of state terror to crush the voices of dissent in this country. The intemperate use of sections of the IPC and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on all five reveals legal over-reach and exposes the desperation to foist extraordinary and excessive charges on all five to ensure they remain in the clutches of the Fadnavis-Maharashtra government. All the arrested have consistently worked for the assertion of oppressed and marginalised communities against majoritarian forces, spoken out against Brahmanical patriarchy, upheld peoples’ rights to land, life and dignity, and have strived for the release of political prisoners. Today, after standing for the assertion of dalits, adivasis, Muslims, women, workers, farmers, marginalised sexualities, and oppressed communities, upholding the principles of democracy, and, consequently, being a thorn in the side of a vengeful police force, they are under the custody of impunity. Meanwhile, the perpetrators of violence during the Bhima-Koregaon clashes enjoy the protection of the state, patronage of the RSS and walk free.

  • Standing up for Those Who Stood with Us
    Standing up for those who stood with us Statement of support for Lawyers Collective We, the undersigned concerned citizens, are extremely perturbed at the increasing tendency of the Government, through its agencies, to use excessive power to curb the voice of the people, which is the very essence of democracy. The work of Lawyer’s Collective in general and Indira Jaising and Anand Grover, in particular, has contributed to changing the lives not just of individuals but of citizens of a democratic republic. They have not only represented the rights of individuals and communities such as slum dwellers, workers, trade unions, prisoners, SC/ST associations, Bhopal Gas tragedy victims, women, LGBTQ+ and other marginalised communities as lawyers, but have also contributed immensely to the discourse of human rights and state accountability as public intellectuals. They represent a commitment to the country that our founding leaders envisioned and that is enshrined in our Constitution. They have fearlessly exercised their right to not just freedom of speech and expression but the fundamental right of every citizen to hold the Government and Institutions of the day accountable. This is a right that every constitutional democracy must seek to protect for its citizenry. The registration of an FIR against them under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code, on the very allegations that are already under challenge before the High Court of Bombay, is a clear sign of executive haste and overreach. Pillorying them in this manner would deprive vulnerable sections of society of the benefit of representation of such high calibre and commitment.
