  • Report on International Religious Freedom 2006: India
    India Page 1 of 22 India International Religious Freedom Report 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice. However, the Government sometimes did not act swiftly enough to counter effectively societal attacks against religious minorities and attempts by some leaders of state and local governments to limit religious freedom. This resulted in part from legal constraints on national government action inherent in the country's federal structure and from shortcomings in its law enforcement and justice systems, although courts regularly upheld the constitutional provision of religious freedom. Despite Government efforts to foster communal harmony, some extremists continued to view ineffective investigation and prosecution of attacks on religious minorities, particularly at the state and local level, as a signal that they could commit such violence with impunity, although numerous cases were in the courts at the end of the reporting period. While the National Government took positive steps in key areas to improve religious freedom, the status of religious freedom generally remained the same during the period covered by this report. The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) continued to implement an inclusive and secular platform based on respect for the country's traditions of secular government and religious tolerance, and the rights of religious minorities. Terrorists attempted to provoke religious conflict by attacking Hindu Temples in Ayodhya and Varanasi. The Government reacted in a swift manner to rein in Hindu extremists, prevent revenge attacks and reprisal, and assure the Muslim community of its safety.

  • Dhar on Tenterhooks
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Dhar on Tenterhooks Communal Tension in Madhya Pradesh ANSHU SALUJA Vol. 51, Issue No. 15, 09 Apr, 2016 Anshu Saluja ([email protected]) is a doctoral student at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. A communal flare up may have been avoided in the Bhojshala complex at Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, but majoritarian Hindu groups continue to stoke popular communal passions unabated. The district of Dhar in Madhya Pradesh has been in the news, attracting local as well as national media attention due to the serious likelihood of a communal flare up. At the root of this possibility lies the Bhojshala structure which both Hindus and Muslims seek to appropriate as their own place of worship. It is far from being the truth that the conflagration was nipped in the bud. The Hindu right wing organisations, with the backing of the Sangh Parivar and its local pracharaks (propagators), held the town of Dhar to ransom for days on end, in the face of persistent attempts made by the administration to arrive at a settlement. However, in these repeated efforts at negotiations, the voice of the Muslim community was not taken into consideration at all. Moreover no lasting solution has been worked out despite repeated meetings with right wing Hindu organisations. The root cause of the furore remains largely unaddressed. But first, let me recapitulate in brief the history of the dispute surrounding the Bhojshala complex in Dhar. Contextualising the Conflict The district of Dhar lies in the western part of Madhya Pradesh and is less than 100 km away from Indore.

ABSTRACT Background: Ujjain being a holy city with 327 registered temples, large numbers of people are indulged in priesthood as an occupation. Priests are more vulnerable for health-related problems as priesthood demands some characteristic working environment, i.e. closed, damped, smoky, noisy and crowded workplace. Aim of the study was to assess workplace environment of the priest along with occurrence of occupational injuries. Method: A cross-sectional study done on registered Hindu priests. Total sample size was 440. Simple random sampling was done. Self-designed, pre-tested and semi-structured questionnaire including parameters like problem felt, job satisfaction, stress felt, working hours and occupational injuries were used for data collection by personal interview.
