Mussoorie, the queen of hill stations in U.P. was lush green, washed with the seasonal monsoon showers. Snow clad mountain peaks occasionally peeped through the gaps in floating clouds as the rains stopped. Charle Ville, Jaipur House, Savoy Annexe, Happy Valley lodges—all were spruced up to receive the young entrants to the All India Services for the next four months who would be there for the foundational course at the National Academy of Administration of India; and they had started coming. They came from all the states of the vast country, from the snowy Ladakh in the north to the southern tip of Kanyakumari washed by the Indian Ocean, from Arunachal Pradesh bordering China in the east to the Rann of Kutch overlooking Pakistan in the west. Young eager minds looking forward to their tryst with a new chapter of life full of anticipation of great things, may be moulding the desired shape of the destiny of the nation for the next three or four decades! Gone were the days of burning night oil, passing anxious moments about how they had fared in the exams, apprehensions about the future. Eyes bright, spring in their steps, wonderful arrangements for stay, ample scope for indoor and outdoor activities—life couldn’t have been better. While the majority of them settled down to a regime of self-restraint in the atmosphere of uninhibited freedom with everything within the reach beyond the routine activities of the Academy, some as it happens, wanted to cross the unmarked line on their own - just for fun unlimited. One of them, a *Belongs to the 1966 Batch (19th RR), West Bengal Cadre. SVP National Police Academy Journal, Vol. LXVI No.1 June, 2018 1 Debabrata Banerjee scion of a highly well-to-do family became far advanced in alcoholic pursuits, and no friendly advices, nor remonstrations could stop him. Every morning brought him hell, and every evening, a call to paradise. The obvious result was a visit to the medical room and a chat with the doctor. The result of the encounter transpired beyond all logic. Not only he promptly refused to go by the doctor’s advice involving a change in his life-style, his retort was he would stick to his own pursuits and do whatever he felt like doing - it was for the doctor to ensure his good health! Some had a hearty laugh, some sniggered,--but none could have it in their furthest imagination that this practical joke would be played on them for the rest of their career, and they would remain at the receiving end. Paradox of Democracy: India became a democracy in the 1950s. As resolved by the people of India, it first emerged as a sovereign democratic republic and as the time progressed it became socialist and secular as well. It was felt by the time that democracy was the best form of government, a time-tested one that could withstand two world wars within a period of two decades against states having an authoritarian regime. Moreover the ideals of liberty equality and fraternity as well as the different categories of human rights were well protected in the system. However by the Sixties, contrary voices pointing out its failings had started to appear. Bernard Crick in his book In Defence of Politics [Weidenfeld and Nicolson: London 1962 pp 51] had this to say— ‘Democracy is perhaps the most promiscuous word in the world of public affairs. She is everybody’s mistress and yet somehow retains her magic even when a lover sees that her favours are being, in his light, illicitly shared by many another. Indeed even amid our pain at being denied her exclusive fidelity, we are proud of the adaptability to all sorts of circumstances, to all sorts of company...(even the communists) are democratic in the sound historical sense of a majority consenting to be ruled in a popular way.’ A leading article in The Times, 16 November 1961 had this to say; Who has not often felt the distaste with democratic politics which Salazar expressed when he said that he ‘detested politics from the bottom of his heart; all those noisy and incoherent promises, the impossible demands , the hotchpotch of unfounded ideas and impracticable plans.... opportunism that cares neither for truth nor justice, the inglorious chase after unmerited fame, the unleashing of uncontrollable passions, the exploitation of the lowest instincts, the distortion of facts...all that feverish and sterile fuss’? 2 SVP National Police Academy Journal, Vol. LXVI No.1 June, 2018 Indian Bureaucracy and Police Force: Dimensions… How true it came for India! And it was saddled with another problem of its own that was not properly heeded to at the time of creation and reorganisation of states within the republic. It was the economic disparity and the growth potential of the states. This was to be taken care of at the time of allocation of resources and the varying graphs of prosperity in them was bound to give rise to severe conflict situations. The pluralistic society with different class compositions was another fertile ground to throw challenges to the federal administration often with veiled threats of cessation and violence emerging in the different corners of the country. The whole scenario was further confounded by the absence of leaders of national stature with the demise of the tall leaders who did fire the imagination of the people in the course of the struggle for independence;-and those who were left were busy with fighting either turf wars, or making their own places secure in their own regions. It did create some apprehension among the European thinkers whether a Balkanisation of India was in the offing. All this was to confront the budding administrators—the brunt to be faced mainly by the bureaucrats in the civil administration and the police. It would be worthwhile to have a look at how the situations unfolded. The scene unfolds: It was the day of the first general election of independent India. Our home was witnessing some frenzied activity seen only on festive occasions since the past couple of days. Dusty covers of age-old steel trunks and wooden boxes were being removed and the contents were coming out with appreciative strokes and sounds of admiration-wow! They still look so good! A black buttoned-up coat of a shiny material and a buff-colour chemise, never seen before, emerged from the depths of those boxes. The first was the relic of the official attire of the bench-clerk of the District Judge—an office served by my grandfather, and the second was the favourite one of my grandmother during her younger days. The rest of the family did not lag behind. My mother, aunts, including the domestic help-all put on their best and the patriarch led the family to the polling booth as Christians attend the church in their Sunday best. In the booth and around, it was all smiles and bon homie. We the children had a gala time romping around in the open playground within the booth campus. The next two elections I was in Calcutta pursuing my studies. The change in the ambience preceding the elections and the follow up were palpable. Friends and relations suddenly got divided to opposite camps, fraternity SVP National Police Academy Journal, Vol. LXVI No.1 June, 2018 3 Debabrata Banerjee yielded place to hostility. The indications were not far from clear. Divisions along political lines made their presence felt on every thread of the social fabric and the subsequent elections not only bore testimony to that, but expanded the fissures to gaping breaches in the community as a whole.

  • Strange and Dubious Case of Dr.Binayak Singh (By N.T.Ravindranath)
    Strange and dubious case of Dr.Binayak Singh (By N.T.Ravindranath) Dr.Binayak Sen, a civil liberty and human rights activist, was arrested by the Chattisgarh police on May 14, 2007 under the provisions of the Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act, 2005, (CSPSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 on the charges of treason, sedition, criminal conspiracy, links with Maoists and acting as a courier for Maoist leader Narayan Sanyal. Earlier on May 6th 2007, the Chattisgarh police had arrested a Kolkota-based businessman Piyush Guha, a tendu leaves trader, from Raipur following recovery of some letters written by jailed Maoist leader Narayan Sanyal from him. Guha‟s confession about the involvement of Binayak Sen in passing on these letters to him had led to Sen‟s arrest. Dr.Binayak Sen, accompanied by his wife Ilina Sen, came to Raipur in the late eighties and worked among the tribals in the area promoting health care activities. He founded an NGO called „Rupander‟ that trained community health workers to work in villages. He was also a noted civil rights activist who maintained close links with the Maoists in the area. Dr.Sen was also in the forefront in launching a campaign against the “Salva Judum”, a people‟s resistance movement against the Maoist activities in the area. Arrest of Binayak Sen in May 2007 had led to wide-spread protest programmes by civil society groups both within India and outside. In December 2007, while Sen was lodged in jail, the Indian Academy of Social Sciences (IASS) declared Binayak Sen as the winner of RR Keithan Gold Medal for "his outstanding contribution to the advancement of science of Nature-Man-Society and his honest and sincere application for the improvement of quality of life of the poor, the downtrodden and the oppressed people of Chhattisgarh”.

    A Mumbai Citizens Legal Rights organisation 2011 Nirant, Juhu Tara Road, Juhu, Mumbai – 400049. Email: [email protected] / [email protected] Tel: 26602288 / 26603927 Formation Genesis The Citizens for Justice and Peace, was formed in April 2002 in direct response to the Genocidal carnage against minorities in Gujarat following the tragic burning alive of persons aboard a train at the Godhra railway station. This tragedy was misused deliberately by the government and sections of the administration to allow organised violence in 300 locations spread over 19 of the 25 districts in the state. Within 3 days over 2,500 lives had been lost, property over Rs. 4,000 crores systematically destroyed and over 19,000 homes burnt to cinders. Women and children were specifically targeted as symbols of their community. The victims were the Muslim minority. It was arguably the worst incident of State sponsored Mass Communal Crimes in post-independence India. Formation Individually and collectively, the Trustees of CJP had been involved since the mid-eighties with vocal citizen’s movements against the alarming growth of divisive and hate driven politics of supremacy and exclusion, known on in South Asia as the politics of communalism. Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) has been actively engaged in supporting the struggle for justice for the victim survivors of the communal carnages targeting Gujarat’s Muslims in 2002. In addition, CJP has also emerged as the nodal national group to advise other minority groups, be it Christians, Dalits or women in their legal strategies on how to access justice for violent targeted crimes.

BINAYAK SEN * ** *Join the Global Day of Protest * January 28, 2011; 3:30 PM Indian Consulate New York, 3 East 64th St. ** *On December 24, 2010*, Dr. Binayak Sen, a renowned physician, public health and human rights activist, was sentenced to life in prison by a sessions court in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. He was accused of carrying 3 letters from an alleged Maoist ideologue Narayan Sanyal to Piyush Guha, a businessman from Kolkata. Dr. Sen (along with Mr. Sanyal and Mr. Guha) has been convicted of *'sedition???* and *???conspiracy against the state', among other charges. Of the more than 80 witnesses produced by the prosecution, no one could withstand the cross-examination and give credible testimony. The prosecution evidence presented in the court had all the hallmarks of a mischief. Prominent journalists and defenders of civil liberties have decried this travesty of justice. Dr. Sen has been providing medical care in some of the poorest and most marginalized areas of Chhattisgarh since 1981. As the state secretary of People???s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) of Chhattisgarh, and the national Vice President, Dr. Sen was instrumental in exposing the disenfranchisement and dire poverty amongst the state???s indigenous communities, as well as human rights violations by the state police and by Salwa Judum, a private militia armed and funded by the state government.

  • Political Context in 2009, Poverty Remained a Reality for Millions of People in India, As UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms
    INDIA observatory for the protection of human rights defenders ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Political context In 2009, poverty remained a reality for millions of people in India, as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms. Navanethem Pillay emphasized on the occasion of her visit to India in March 2009. Indeed, benefits and dividends of the economic liberalisation1 and rapid economic growth were not always shared equally . In particular, the poorest and most marginalised groups, primarily the Dalits and Adivasis, continued to face discrimination despite the illegality of the caste system and to live in deep poverty. Landless farmers and Adivasis were also subjected to forced evictions in several States due to industrial and other business projects. In addition, widespread asymmetries in power and wealth were “com- pounded by the persistence of gaps in the implementation of higher courts’ decisions […] and of national laws and policies that promote and protect human rights and seek to2 support the most vulnerable”, as underlined by the High Commissioner . Indeed, human rights violations continued to be rampant in 2009, while impunity for those abuses remained widespread, especially as Section 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in areas affected by armed uprising3 still provided protection from prosecution to the police and security forces . Moreover, the Government amended the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of 1967 in December 2008, which, inter alia, extends the detention without bail period from 90 to 180 days and police custody from 15 to 30 days, 1 / See Statement by Ms. Navanethem Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), March 23, 2009.

  • A Critical Take on the Binayak Sen Judgement Mukund P Unny
    A Critical Take on the Binayak Sen Judgement Mukund P Unny Inferior Court judgements are not generally topics of study for law students. And so, it usually does not get debated in the intellectual circles. Many lower court judgements are worth praise and several would be packed with flaws. The recent conviction of Binayak Sen on grounds of conspiracy to commit sedition and subsequent award of life sentence by a Raipur Sessions Court has raised many eyebrows, mainly due to the fact that it was flawed. The ground on which the noted human rights activist is convicted is still questioned. The Acts invoked for his conviction are Section 124(A) and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Section 8(1), (2), (3), (5) of the Chattisgarh Special Public Safety Act, 2005; Section 39(2) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 1967. Binayak Sen has been in police custody since May 2007. Sen was arrested for couriering a Naxalite journal and letters from Pijush Guha to Narayan Sanyal, a suspected Maoist ideologue. The police, on searching Sen's house, found a postcard addressed to him by the jailed Sanyal, a letter from Naxalite Commander Barkade lodged in Central Jail Bilaspur addressing him as 'comrade', and eight CDs that show him conversing with women and children in the villages of Salwa Judum and Narayanpur. During the search, a letter written in English and one booklet containing a banned and objectionable write-up, as well as cassettes on Salwa Judum, and CPU were seized. Investigations stated that Sanyal, who is a member of the highest organization of the Naxalites-Maoists - the 'Politburo', executed destructive activities for the Naxalites with the help of Sen and Piyush Guha, which was found to amount to 'sedition'.
