Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe respiratory diseases. Corona virus knows no borders. It is a global pandemic and our shared humanity demands a global response. This outbreak is a global challenge that does not discriminate and can affect anyone including downtrodden families, daily wages workers, widows & helpless & displaced people and which can only be addressed through international solidarity and cooperation. The impact of this large-scale outbreak on poor families, children & aged people, especially those living in vulnerable circumstances, can be immense. As all know very well that Health system across the world are being overwhelmed and Economies are sliding towards depression. Failure to contain the virus will tear apart the lives of millions of families across the world. With the pandemic now spreading into some of the world’s developing countries like India, there is a real danger that the world will see a reversal of the gains made over the last 20 years and destruction of the rights of humanity. The virus is already having devastating consequences for common men, children, women, senior citizen & lower income group families and their rights. And, therefore, we must come together. Only a global response will stop the spread of the virus everywhere.

  • Mindscapes of Space, Power and Value in Mumbai
    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 9, No. 2, 2014, pp. 277-292 The epistemology of a sea view: mindscapes of space, power and value in Mumbai Ramanathan Swaminathan Senior Fellow, Observer Research Foundation (ORF) Fellow, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) Contributing Editor, Governance Now [email protected] ABSTRACT: Mumbai is a collection of seven islands strung together by a historically layered process of reclamation, migration and resettlement. The built landscape reflects the unique geographical characteristics of Mumbai’s archipelagic nature. This paper first explores the material, non-material and epistemological contours of space in Mumbai. It establishes that the physical contouring of space through institutional, administrative and non-institutional mechanisms are architected by complex notions of distance from the city’s coasts. Second, the paper unravels the unique discursive strands of space, spatiality and territoriality of Mumbai. It builds the case that the city’s collective imaginary of value is foundationally linked to the archipelagic nature of the city. Third, the paper deconstructs the complex power dynamics how a sea view turns into a gaze: one that is at once a point of view as it is a factor that provides physical and mental form to space. In conclusion, the paper makes the case that the mindscapes of space, value and power in Mumbai have archipelagic material foundations. Keywords : archipelago, form, island, mindscape, Mumbai, power, space, value © 2014 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction: unearthing the archipelagic historiography of Mumbai A city can best be described as a collection of spaces. Not in any ontological sense or in a physically linear form, but in an ever-changing, ever-interacting mesh of spatialities and territorialities that display the relative social relations of power existing at that particular point in time (Holstein & Appadurai, 1989).

  • Reconstructing Religious Tolerance in South Mumbai Mumbai, India Colby College Sarah Joseph Kurien, India, Mahindra United World College of India
    In Peaces: Reconstructing Religious Tolerance in South Mumbai Mumbai, India Colby College Sarah Joseph Kurien, India, Mahindra United World College of India Ia. My Project for Peace aimed to revisit and strengthen our national ideals of tolerance and openness by educating children from economically impoverished communities about different faiths and their traditions. I chose to work with students from South Mumbai’s slums because it is in these areas that several fundamentalist organizations concentrate their recruitment resources. Ib.. I modified my project slightly in order to accommodate changed ground realities in Mumbai. The organization I had originally intended to work with, Meljol, was unable to procure local government permission to work in South Mumbai’s public schools in the time frame that I had envisioned. Faced with an indeterminate wait were I to continue partnering with Meljol, I decided to approach Akanksha, an NGO that enrolls children from slum communities in Mumbai’s public schools and provides them with after-school classes to better equip them for classroom life. Akanksha agreed to let me work with children in their South Mumbai centers. I was therefore able to work with the same population of children as proposed, albeit in their after-school programs instead of in their public schools. Given the changed circumstances and the fact that I was no longer working with public school teachers in their classrooms, I decided to use the funds originally allocated to the Teacher Awareness Training Conference to improve upon the field trip and classroom discussion aspects of my project. Due to this redistribution of project funds, I was able to take students on longer and more in-depth field trips to various sites of religious importance around the city.

  • Freedom of Religion and the Indian Supreme Court: The
    FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THE INDIAN SUPREME COURT: THE RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION AND ESSENTIAL PRACTICES TESTS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RELIGION MAY 2019 By Coleman D. Williams Thesis Committee: Ramdas Lamb, Chairperson Helen Baroni Ned Bertz Abstract As a religiously diverse society and self-proclaimed secular state, India is an ideal setting to explore the complex and often controversial intersections between religion and law. The religious freedom clauses of the Indian Constitution allow for the state to regulate and restrict certain activities associated with religious practice. By interpreting the constitutional provisions for religious freedom, the judiciary plays an important role in determining the extent to which the state can lawfully regulate religious affairs. This thesis seeks to historicize the related development of two jurisprudential tests employed by the Supreme Court of India: the religious denomination test and the essential practices test. The religious denomination test gives the Court the authority to determine which groups constitute religious denominations, and therefore, qualify for legal protection. The essential practices test limits the constitutional protection of religious practices to those that are deemed ‘essential’ to the respective faith. From their origins in the 1950s up to their application in contemporary cases on religious freedom, these two tests have served to limit the scope of legal protection under the Constitution and legitimize the interventionist tendencies of the Indian state. Additionally, this thesis will discuss the principles behind the operation of the two tests, their most prominent criticisms, and the potential implications of the Court’s approach.

  • Sabarimala and Women's Entry
    EDITORIAL NOTE SABARIMALA AND WOMEN’S ENTRY: NEED FOR A BAN ON THE BAN I. IntrOductiON Restricting women’s entry to places of religious worship has become a highly contentious issue of late. Though such practices have been persisting for decades in India,1 movements across the country have recently espoused these concerns, leading to several petitions being filed in High Courts and in the Supreme Court. Demonstrating an encouraging trend, courts have emphatically upheld rights of women to equality and freedom of religion, thus striking down the restrictions imposed. The Bombay High Court, for instance, ruled that the inner sanctum of the Shani Shingnapur temple in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra be opened to women, as it is the fundamental right of women to enter all places of worship that allow entry to men, and the duty of the state to protect such right.2 The Court relied on the Maharashtra Hindu Places of Public Worship (Entry Authorisation) Act, 1956, which prohibits obstructing a section or class of the Hindu population from entering places of worship.3 In September, 2016, in a landmark decision, the Bombay High Court permitted the entry of women entry into the sanctum sanctorum at the 1 Several places of worship in India deny entry to women, including the Haji Ali Dargah in Bombay, the Patbausi Satra in Assam, the Sabarimala temple in Kerala, the Trimbakeshwar temple in Nashik and the Kartikeya temple in Pushkar. A common justification given is the fear that the sanctity of the temple premise would be compromised by menstruating women who are considered impure and polluted.

  • 7 INCLO Newsletter
    October 2015 Dear Friends: Welcome to the seventh issue of the International Network of Civil Liberties Organizations’ (INCLO) quarterly newsletter, Global Developments in Religious Freedom and Equal Treatment. This newsletter highlights recent international developments, including cases and legislation, concerning religious freedom, equal treatment, and the intersection of the two. Here are a few brief highlights from this quarter’s issue: Kim Davis, a county clerk in the United States, was found in contempt of court after she refused to issue marriage licenses in the wake of the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling; a new report on Nigeria’s Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, which prescribes up to 14 years’ imprisonment for those who enter into same-sex marriages or co-habit, states that the law has led to mob attacks, police torture, evictions, and health risks; Spain’s Constitutional Court held that a pharmacy could not be legally required to sell emergency contraception over religious objections; Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal upheld a lower court decision striking down a requirement for Muslim women to remove the niqab before taking the citizenship oath; the Indian Supreme Court stayed a decision ruling that the Jain tradition of santhara, which involves death by fasting, qualifies as suicide; and INCLO released a report examining how courts in different countries address the tensions between religious freedom and principles of equality. As always, please note that this newsletter does not purport to be comprehensive or definitive. Instead, it is our best effort to identify and characterize the international legal developments in this arena.

  • A Study on Freedom of Religion in India with Special Reference to Triple Talaq (Talaq-E-Biddat) Ruling
    ILI Law Review Summer Issue 2018 CONSTITUTIONAL SENTIMENTS AND JUDICIARY – A STUDY ON FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN INDIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO TRIPLE TALAQ (TALAQ-E-BIDDAT) RULING. Amit Raj Agrawal Abstract In India there are many practices associated with religion, which are superstitious in nature, though the apex court by inventing doctrine of essential religious practices placed those practices outside the scope of part III of the Constitution of India, but nonetheless the scholars have always questioned the basis and proprietary of the Court and accused the Court of having interfered with the matter of religion. Recently, the five judges’ Constitution Bench with majority dictum in Sharya Bano case held the practice of instant triple talaq (Talaq-e- Biddat) is invalid. The majority stand happens to be in direct conflict with the minority opinion authored by Khehar , C.J., where he observed triple talaq (Talaq-e-Biddat) to be the part of one’s religious faith and thus beyond the scope of judicial scrutiny. Though the majority have succeeded in securing constitutional values to a greater extent, but still a question relating to inclusion of personal law within the scope of judicial review has not been answered authoritatively. Undoubtedly, the constitutional mandate enshrined under article 25(2)(b) and the legitimate judicial authority empowered government and the judiciary to bring significant reforms in the matters concerning atrocious application of personal law, but significant work is yet to be done. Through, this paper author attempts to presents the constitutional position on freedom of religion in India with critical analysis of ruling of the apex court in triple talaq (Talaq-e-Biddat) matter.
