  • Proposed Ban on Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd's Books in DU Raises
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Proposed Ban on Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd’s Books in DU Raises Questions about the Future of Critical Thought ANNA JACOB Anna Jacob ([email protected]) is a PhD scholar at the Department of History, University of Delhi. Vol. 53, Issue No. 47, 01 Dec, 2018 Scholars of social sciences write and teach from particular ideological and political frameworks, and to expect them to be “objective” or “non-partisan,” without any sensitivity to questions of power, takes away much needed perspectives of the marginalised sections of society in academia. Any critique of an academic work should stem not from unwillingness to deal with complex or discomfiting ideas, but from close reading and engagement. This article discusses these aspects in light of the recent call to ban Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd’s books from the University of Delhi’s MA Political Science reading list, as well as other instances of such interference in university curriculum in recent years. On 24 October 2018, the Standing Committee on Academic Affairs of the University of Delhi (DU) proposed a ban on three books authored by Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd—Why I Am Not a Hindu: A Sudra Critique of Hindutva Philosophy, Culture and Political Economy; God as Political Philosopher: Buddha’s Challenge to Brahmanism; and Post Hindu India—from the MA syllabus of the Department of Political Science. These texts are part of two courses titled “Dalit Bahujan Political Thought” and “Social Exclusion: Theory and Practice” (Roy Chowdhury 2018). The academic council is yet to take a final decision on the issue, but the department has decided to continue teaching the course.

  • The Story of My Sanskrit - the Hindu 16/08/14 7:58 Am
    The story of my Sanskrit - The Hindu 16/08/14 7:58 am Opinion » Lead The story of my Sanskrit Ananya Vajpeyi Sanskrit must be taken back from the clutches of Hindu supremacists, bigots, believers in brahmin exclusivity, misogynists, Islamophobes and a variety of other wrong-headed characters on the right, whose colossal ambition to control India’s vast intellectual legacy is only matched by their abysmal ignorance of what it means and how it works An article in this paper on July 30 revealed that Dina Nath Batra, head of the Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti, had formed a “Non-Governmental Education Commission” (NGEC) to recommend ways to “Indianise” education. I had encountered Mr. Batra’s notions about education during a campaign I was involved with in February and March this year, to keep the American scholar Wendy Doniger’s books about Hindus and Hinduism in print. His litigious threats had forced Penguin India to withdraw and destroy a volume by Prof. Doniger, and this was even before the national election installed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the ruling party in Delhi. Ever since Mr. Narendra Modi’s government has come to power, Mr. Batra has become more active, zealous and confrontational in stating his views about Indian history, Hindu religion, and what ought to qualify as appropriate content in schoolbooks and syllabi not only in his native Gujarat but in educational institutions all over the country. He is backed up by a vast governmental machinery, by the fact that Mr. Modi himself has penned prefatory materials to his various books, and of course by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), of which he has been a member and an ideologue for over several decades.

  • Infringement of Academic Freedom in India
    H-Asia Infringement of Academic Freedom in India Discussion published by PROJIT B MUKHARJI on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 Dear Colleagues, I am writing to draw your attention to a new attack upon academic freedom in India. Dinanath Batra, an RSS activist, fresh from his success at getting Wendy Doniger’s book removed from Indian bookshops, has now turned his attention to Sekhar Bandyopadhyay’s excellent textbook on modern South Asian history, From Plassey to Partition. You can follow the developments at any of the following links:- http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/another-publisher-forced-to-censor-textbooks/article6075864 .ece?homepage=true http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/36024216.cms?intenttarget=no http://www.firstpost.com/living/children-of-marx-macaulay-are-defaming-hinduism-dinanath-batra-155 9083.html Besides issuing legal notices and initiating “civil and criminal proceedings”, an editorial in the RSS mouthpiece, The Organizer, also mentioned that Mr Batra would begin “an agitation against the book” unless the passages he objected to were removed from the BA 3rd Year History syllabus. Here is the link to the piece in The Organizer:- http://organiser.org/Encyc/2014/4/19/Legal-notice-to-Orient-Black-Swan-for-spreading-canard-against -RSS.aspx?NB&lang=3&m1&m2&p1&p2&p3&p4 In this regard, its worth pointing out that whilst Mr Batra's supporters insist that by following legal options of dissent he is himself excercising his democratic rights, the threat of 'agitation', irrespective of the legal outcome, makes such claims ring hollow. Moreover, what we are seeing in each case is that publishers--fearing perhaps both the 'agitation' and the protracted legal costs--are choosing to settle out of court.

  • Saffronisation of Education (December, 2014)
    RGICS RAJIV GANDHI INSTITUTE FOR CONTEMPORARY STUDIES JAWAHAR BHAWAN, DR. RAJENDRA PRASAD ROAD, NEW DELHI-110001 Saffronisation of Education (December, 2014) RGICS brief Saffronisation of Education 2 Introduction Prof. Romila Thapar (Third Nikhil Chakravarti Memorial lecture delivered on 26 October 2014) said, ―The ultimate success of a democracy requires that the society be secular. By this I mean a society that goes beyond the co-existence of all religions; a society whose members have equal social and economic rights as citizens, and can exercise these rights irrespective of their religion; a society that is free from control by religious organisations in the activities related to these rights; a society where there is freedom to belong to any or no religion. Public intellectuals would be involved in explaining where secularisation lies and why it is inevitable in a democracy and in defending the secularising process.‖ Education being used a tool for ideological indoctrination of future generations. Concerted efforts are being made to target young minds are being targeted through school curricula and content of books. Rajnath Singh, ―It has been proposed that school textbooks be changed in order to ensure that children be made aware of human values and life values .‖( July 23,2014, Rajya Sabha).In the past 6 months several developments have taken place in the education sector which need to be examined without delay. It is becoming increasingly clear that the RSS agenda of pushing forward the Hindutva agenda in educational institutes starting from schools to universities has gained momentum. It is time for academicians, policy makers and activists to take cognizance of these changes taking place and speaking out against the agenda to impose ideas based on a particular religion.

  • Editors' Introduction to the Roundtable on Intellectual Freedom
    India Review,vol.13,no.3,2014,pp.274–276 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN 1473-6489 print/1557-3036 online DOI: 10.1080/14736489.2014.937273 Editors’ Introduction to the Roundtable on Intellectual Freedom, Vigilantism, and Censorship in India In this issue we carry a roundtable on intellectual freedom, vigilantism, and censorship in India consisting of four contributions (Vinay Lal, Romila Thapar, Deepak Sarma, and Aarti Sethi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta). The provocation that first le to a dis- cussion of a roundtable like the one appearing in this issue occurred in 2011, when the University of Delhi removed A. K. Ramanujan’sessay,“Three Hundred Ramayanas: Five Examples and Three Thoughts on Translation,” from its B.A. History (Honors) course in response to pressure from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (“All India Student Council”), the student wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (“Indian People’s Party”).1 Yet a more recent and similar event, far more publicized internationally than the Ramanujan case, which each of the essays in this roundtable addresses is the pulping of Wendy Doniger’sbook,The Hindus: An Alternative History (2009), by its publisher Penguin India, who capitulated to pressure from an organization called the Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti (SBAS, “Save Education Movement Committee”).2 Penguin India’s decision came after roughly four years in court dealing with a lawsuit filed by SBAS spokesman, Dinanath Batra, whose complaint cited a violation of Section 295a of the Indian Penal Code. Section 295a pertains to “Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs,” and reads thusly: Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.

  • Relations Between the RSS, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Vidya Bharati Schools in India
    Religions and Development Research Programme Religious Political Parties and their Welfare Work: Relations between the RSS, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Vidya Bharati Schools in India Padmaja Nair Working Paper 37 - 2009 Religions and Development Research Programme The Religions and Development Research Programme Consortium is an international research partnership that is exploring the relationships between several major world religions, development in low-income countries and poverty reduction. The programme is comprised of a series of comparative research projects that are addressing the following questions: z How do religious values and beliefs drive the actions and interactions of individuals and faith-based organisations? z How do religious values and beliefs and religious organisations influence the relationships between states and societies? z In what ways do faith communities interact with development actors and what are the outcomes with respect to the achievement of development goals? The research aims to provide knowledge and tools to enable dialogue between development partners and contribute to the achievement of development goals. We believe that our role as researchers is not to make judgements about the truth or desirability of particular values or beliefs, nor is it to urge a greater or lesser role for religion in achieving development objectives. Instead, our aim is to produce systematic and reliable knowledge and better understanding of the social world. The research focuses on four countries (India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Tanzania), enabling the research team to study most of the major world religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and African traditional belief systems. The research projects will compare two or more of the focus countries, regions within the countries, different religious traditions and selected development activities and policies.

  • Challenges and the Way Ahead Introduction: the Issue of Racism I
    Understanding the complexities of Racism in contemporary India: Challenges and the way ahead By- Dawa Sherpa, Research Scholar (M.Phil), Centre of Economic Studies and Planning (CESP), School of Social Sciences (SSS), Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi 110067. Address: Room No.63, Tapti Hostel, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi 110067. Email id: [email protected] Introduction: The issue of racism is a not new social phenomena in India. The extreme obsession with fairness of skin and the aversion with the darker complexion are known social facts. The practices of racial discrimination against people with certain racial-cultural affinities (primarily Mongoliad and Blacks) are widespread, as well as a common knowledge among the public. Yet the dominant mood among the public and government is that of denial of these social practices. It’s only few brazen incidents of extreme violence which have managed to bring the issue of racism in forefront of public discourse in India. But public deliberations about racism alone cannot always give a correct perspective of what constitutes and sustains racism especially in the peculiar context of the Indian sub continent. One cannot simply emulate the theories of racism which have developed in the context of Europe or US and simply implement them in the Indian social context. This paper is an attempt to contextualise racism within the particularities and peculiarities of the Indian context in order to develop a holistic and historical perspective of Indian racism at large and how it is bolstered by the existing social processes and practices. Theorising racism in Indian Context: Existing literature on the issue of racism in Indian context is in its nascent stage.
