    SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ameya Shivdas Balsekar August 2009 © 2009 Ameya Shivdas Balsekar SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA Ameya Shivdas Balsekar, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 Commentators have frequently suggested that India is going through an “age of intolerance” as writers, artists, filmmakers, scholars and journalists among others have been targeted by institutions of the state as well as political parties and interest groups for hurting the sentiments of some section of Indian society. However, this age of intolerance has coincided with a period that has also been characterized by the “deepening” of Indian democracy, as previously subordinated groups have begun to participate more actively and substantively in democratic politics. This project is an attempt to understand the reasons for the persistence of illiberalism in Indian politics, particularly as manifest in censorship practices. It argues that one of the reasons why censorship has persisted in India is that having the “right to censor” has come be established in the Indian constitutional order’s negotiation of multiculturalism as a symbol of a cultural group’s substantive political empowerment. This feature of the Indian constitutional order has made the strategy of “seeking offense” readily available to India’s politicians, who understand it to be an efficacious way to discredit their competitors’ claims of group representativeness within the context of democratic identity politics.

  • The 33Rd Annual Conference on South Asia (2004) Paper Abstracts
    Single Paper and Individual Panel Abstracts 33rd Annual Conference on South Asia October 15-17, 2004 Note: Abstracts exceeding the 150-word limit were abbreviated and marked with an ellipsis. A. Rizvi, S. Mubbashir, University of Texas at Austin Refashioning Community: The Role of Violence in Redefining Political Society in Pakistan The history of sectarian conflict in Muslim communities in Pakistan goes back to the early days of national independence. The growing presence of extremist Sunni and Shi’a sectarian groups who are advocating for an Islamist State fashioned around their interpretation of Islam has resulted in an escalating wave of violence in the form of targeted killings of activists, religious clerics, Shi’a doctors, professionals and the most recent trend of suicide attacks targeting ordinary civilians. This paper will focus on the rise of sectarian tensions in Pakistan in relation to the changing character of Pakistani State in the Neo-Liberal era. Some of the questions that will be addressed are: What kinds of sectarian subjectivities are being shaped by the migration to the urban and peri-urban centers of Pakistan? What are the ways in which socio-economic grievances are reconfigured in sectarian terms? What are the ways in which violence shapes or politicizes … Adarkar, Aditya, Montclair State University Reflecting in Grief: Yudhishthira, Karna, and the Construction of Character This paper examines the construction of character in the "Mahabharata" through crystalline parallels and mirrorings (described by Ramanujan 1991). Taking Yudhishthira and Karna as an example, we learn much about Karna from the parallel between Karna's dharmic tests and Yudhishthira's on the way to heaven; and several aspects of Yudhishthira's personality (his blinding hatred, his adherence to his worldview) come to the fore in the context of his hatred of and grief over Karna.

  • Political Economy of a Dominant Caste
    Draft Political Economy of a Dominant Caste Rajeshwari Deshpande and Suhas Palshikar* This paper is an attempt to investigate the multiple crises facing the Maratha community of Maharashtra. A dominant, intermediate peasantry caste that assumed control of the state’s political apparatus in the fifties, the Marathas ordinarily resided politically within the Congress fold and thus facilitated the continued domination of the Congress party within the state. However, Maratha politics has been in flux over the past two decades or so. At the formal level, this dominant community has somehow managed to retain power in the electoral arena (Palshikar- Birmal, 2003)—though it may be about to lose it. And yet, at the more intricate levels of political competition, the long surviving, complex patterns of Maratha dominance stand challenged in several ways. One, the challenge is of loss of Maratha hegemony and consequent loss of leadership of the non-Maratha backward communities, the OBCs. The other challenge pertains to the inability of different factions of Marathas to negotiate peace and ensure their combined domination through power sharing. And the third was the internal crisis of disconnect between political elite and the Maratha community which further contribute to the loss of hegemony. Various consequences emerged from these crises. One was simply the dispersal of the Maratha elite across different parties. The other was the increased competitiveness of politics in the state and the decline of not only the Congress system, but of the Congress party in Maharashtra. The third was a growing chasm within the community between the neo-rich and the newly impoverished.

When the results were announced on 16th May 2014, the BJP had won 280 of the 542 seats, with no party getting even the statutory 10 per cent of the seats to claim the position of Leader of the Opposition. The days, weeks and months since the historic victory, and his assuming ofice on 26th May 2014 as the 14th Prime Minister of India, have seen the rising pitch of a crescendo of hate speech against Muslims and Christians. Their identity derided,their patriotism scoffed at, their citizenship questioned, their faith mocked. The environment has degenerated into one of coercion, divisiveness, and suspicion. This has percolated to the small towns and villages or rural India, severing bonds forged in a dialogue of life over the centuries, shattering the harmony build around the messages of peace and brotherhood given us by the Suis and the men and women who led the Freedom Struggle under Mahatma Gandhi.

In this thesis, I examine how these comics function as public culture, creating a platform around which groups and individuals negotiate and re-negotiate their identities (religious, class, gender, regional, national) through their experience of the mass-media phenomenon of ACK. I also argue that the comics, for the most part, toe a conservative line - drawing heavily from Hindu nationalist schools of thought.

The fact that NCH presents this news does not imply that it shares the views and beliefs of the historians and others mentioned in it. AFGHANISTAN Little action was taken to bring to justice perpetrators of serious abuses in the past. Many of those holding central and regional government posts were allegedly responsible for human rights violations committed during the armed conflict (1978-2003). In February 2003, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions proposed the establishment of an international commission of inquiry into abuses in Afghanistan since 1978, a proposal supported by the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC; formed in June 2002). However, the proposal was opposed by a majority of governments, and the United Nations Commission on Human Rights then failed to endorse the proposal. Despite this setback, the AIHCR continued their efforts to map past abuses. (See NCH #32.) [Source: AI, Report 2004 (2004) 146.] ALGERIA No full, independent and impartial investigations were carried out into crimes against humanity committed by security forces, state-armed militias or armed groups since 1992.
