  • Accountability for Mass Violence Examining the State’S Record
    Accountability for mass violence Examining the State’s record By Surabhi Chopra Pritarani Jha Anubha Rastogi Rekha Koli Suroor Mander Harsh Mander Centre for Equity Studies New Delhi May 2012 Preface Contemporary India has a troubled history of sporadic blood-letting in gruesome episodes of mass violence which targets men, women and sometimes children because of their religious identity. The Indian Constitution unequivocally guarantees equal legal rights, equal protection and security to religious minorities. However, the Indian State’s record of actually upholding the assurances in the secular democratic Constitution has been mixed. This study tries to map, understand and evaluate how effectively the State in free India has secured justice for victims of mass communal violence. It does so by relying primarily on the State’s own records relating to four major episodes of mass communal violence, using the powerful democratic instrument of the Right to Information Act 2005. In this way, it tries to hold up the mirror to governments, public authorities and institutions, to human rights workers and to survivors themselves. Since Independence, India has seen scores of group attacks on people targeted because of their religious identity1. Such violence is described in South Asia as communal violence. While there is insufficient rigorous research on numbers of people killed in religious massacres, one estimate suggests that 25,628 lives have been lost (including 1005 in police firings)2. The media has regularly reported on this violence, citizens’ groups have documented grave abuses and State complicity in violence, and government-appointed commissions of inquiry have gathered extensive evidence on it from victims, perpetrators and officials.

  • India: Provide Full Protection to Human Rights Defender Teesta Setalvad
    India: Provide full protection to human rights defender Teesta Setalvad (Bangkok, 24 July 2015) - The Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA) strongly urges the Government of India and the Indian judiciary to drop all charges against the social activist Teesta Setalvad and to provide her the full protection she has a right to under national and international law. Teesta, who is accused of violating the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), is a well-known human rights defender who has worked tirelessly seeking justice for the victims of the 2002 Gulbarg Society Massacre in Gujarat. FORUM-ASIA strongly condemns the earlier decision today by the Mumbai Special Court not to grant Teesta anticipatory bail, and applauds that she was still granted bail later today by the Bombay High Court. “The Indian judiciary’s failure to reject the spurious charges against Teesta, demonstrates a worrying trend of the criminalisation of human rights defenders, which stifles their dissent,” comments Evelyn Balais- Serrano, Executive Director of FORUM-ASIA, “The rights of all human rights defenders should be protected at all times, and the judiciary must take measures to ensure that this is fulfilled.” On 8 July 2015, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a case against both Teesta and the NGO Citizens for Justice and Peace under sections 35, 37 of the Penal Code and sections 3, 11 and 19 of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) based on alleged violations of the FCRA. Despite Teesta’s cooperation with the investigation, the CBI raided the office of Citizens for Justice and Peace and the residence of Teesta and Javed on 14 July 2015.

  • From Internet Resources PREFACE
    From internet resources PREFACE As Delhi burned under the severe riot against the discrimination based on religion, President of United State Donald Trump was having a Bomance with India in the “Namaste Trump” presented by Prime Minister of India. Modi has tried to shield off poverty and slum by trying to hide the slums by building walls along the route Trump might travel. And the Delhi riots broke out a day before Trumps arrival. The root of the riot is the CAA, NRC and NPR which discriminate Muslim community from other religious groups. There was an immediate protestation and demonstration starting with the student communities in various states and also many states. The demonstrations were more naturally in Delhi. Apparently the BJP had brought in their parivar from some other state and made themselves ready for to start of a massacre. The Police force were also supporting the killlings and stone throwing. On the brighter side of it, many of the Hindu communities stood up for their neighbors. I have been trying make sense of it all and was collecting the news as they emerged from various sources. This is simply a collection of cut and paste of those. This is done so that the coming generations will not forget what happened to India under BJP. History will stand testimony.

    http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page &Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOIA/2009/09/08&PageLabel=3&EntityId=Ar00301&ViewMode =HTML&GZ=T Gujarat EDN SIT asked to produce phone records in Gulbarg case TIMES NEWS NETWORK Ahmedabad: A special court hearing the Gulbarg Society case on Monday asked the special investigation team (SIT) to furnish phone call records of ex-Congress MP Ahsan Jafri who was killed in the post-Godhra massacre of February 28, 2002, in which 69 persons were killed. The designated judge SH Vora ordered SIT to place evidence on records within a month after advocate SM Vora, the lawyer who appears with prosecution, demanded further investigation in this case under Section 173(8) of the CrPC and sought directions to SIT to place certain documentary evidence before the court. Acting on the application, the court has asked for call details of Ahsan Jafri’s landline number. His family has been saying that Jafri made frantic calls to top cops and politicians for help when he was attacked by a mob in his home, but his plea fell on deaf ears. The court asked SIT to get these details from BSNL. The prosecutors and investigating agency are asked to furnish call details of accused persons, whose interviews were run by the Tehelka journalist Ashish Khaitan, who too is a witness in this case. Besides this, the video tapes containing his dialogues with accused which were shown in a sting, are to be placed on record, after an application was filed by Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP).

  • Economic and Social Thought Volume 4 June 2017 Issue 2
    Journal of Economic and Social Thought www.kspjournals.org Volume 4 June 2017 Issue 2 Hindutva, Neoliberalism and the Reinventing of India By Kalim SIDDIQUI1† Abstract. The 2014 parliamentary election in India reduced Congress party to merely 44 seats in the lower house, big blow for a party whose history is integral the country’s founding narrative. In the last parliamentary election the Congress party polled only 19.3% of the votes declining from 28.6% in 2009, while on the other hand the main right wing party i.e. BJP won 282 parliamentary seats and 31% of the national votes. The extreme right-wing organisations have undoubtedly become the central pole of Indian politics. Moreover, its recent success in Uttar Pradesh provincial election, which is one of the most populated province with 215 million inhabitants, is the strongest evidence yet of the broader shift to the right and the BJP’s victory in UP state strengthens this shift. This paper intends to study the recent rise of extreme right-wing Hindu organisations in India. Most prominent among these organisations are RSS, BJP, VHP, Bajang Dal and Shiv Sena. However, all of them work together under the philosophy of Hindutva (i.e. Hindu-ness) and are rabidly anti-minority in their stance. The aim of this study is to highlight the recent rise in extreme right-wing Hindu organisations and to examine their ideas and philosophy regarding Indian history and culture. It is also useful to set this against a global context in which divisive and ultra-nationalist forces are on the rise within Europe and Donald Trump has assumed the US presidency.

Gujarat carnage 2002 will complete 10 years in next few days. Some of the civil society organizations have decided to organize certain programs during next four months to remind the people of Gujarat that what we have done before 10 years is never pardonable. Still thousands of victims are weeping and waiting for justice. Still peace is a far away lighthouse, because there is no voice of remorse from our civil society or politicians. It was and still it is a shame for us.
