Everyone Has Been Silenced EVERYONE HAS BEEN SILENCED Police Excesses Against Anti-CAA Protesters In Uttar Pradesh, And The Post-violence Reprisal Citizens Against Hate Citizens against Hate (CAH) is a Delhi-based collective of individuals and groups committed to a democratic, secular and caring India. It is an open collective, with members drawn from a wide range of backgrounds who are concerned about the growing hold of exclusionary tendencies in society, and the weakening of rule of law and justice institutions. CAH was formed in 2017, in response to the rising trend of hate mobilisation and crimes, specifically the surge in cases of lynching and vigilante violence, to document violations, provide victim support and engage with institutions for improved justice and policy reforms. From 2018, CAH has also been working with those affected by NRC process in Assam, documenting exclusions, building local networks, and providing practical help to victims in making claims to rights. Throughout, we have also worked on other forms of violations – hate speech, sexual violence and state violence, among others in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar and beyond. Our approach to addressing the justice challenge facing particularly vulnerable communities is through research, outreach and advocacy; and to provide practical help to survivors in their struggles, also nurturing them to become agents of change. This citizens’ report on police excesses against anti-CAA protesters in Uttar Pradesh is the joint effort of a team of CAH made up of human rights experts, defenders and lawyers. Members of the research, writing and advocacy team included (in alphabetical order) Abhimanyu Suresh, Adeela Firdous, Aiman Khan, Angela Dua, Anshu Kapoor, Devika Prasad, Fawaz Shaheen, Ghazala Jamil, Guneet Ahuja, Madhur Bharatiya, Mohammad Ghufran, Mangla Verma, Mathew Jacob, Misbah Reshi, Nidhi Suresh, Parijata Bhardwaj, Rehan Khan, Sajjad Hassan, Salim Ansari, Sharib Ali, Shreya Singh, Sneha Chandna, Sunil Kuksal, Talha Rahman, Vipul Kumar and Zainab Amal. Henri Tiphagne, Ravi Nair, Seema Nair and Tehmina Arora provided valuable guidance. We are thankful to them. We would also like to express our gratitude to victim families, survivors, witnesses and other local informants who agreed to be interviewed for this report, and helped us with relevant documents and insights – despite the pall of fear induced by authorities in Uttar Pradesh. Their courage and hopes for justice is inspiring. This report is the property of Citizens Against Hate. Those wishing to use its contents for non-commercial purposes, may do so freely.

However, he regretted the growing trend of bad and shallow poetry and stressed the importance of preserving the highly developed tradition. The genesis of this tradition, its cultural value and relevance in modern times were the main points of discussion. Satyapal Anand said that there has never been any During the discussion, Munawwar Rana noted that tradition similar to that of Mushaira in Europe and this tradition is being increasingly politicised. It has America. There, poetry is ‘read out’ rather than become a norm for politicians to organise Mushairas to performed. campaign for votes. He also spoke about the anonymous Munawwar Rana added that these days in Pakistan, not and not so easy lives led by poets. Poetry and Mushaira many people watch or listen to Mushairas. Speaking is passing through a bad phase. from personal experience, he said that the harmful competitiveness of poets who at times attempt to degrade one another is not appreciated and it is precisely this which deters people from attending Mushairas. He also pointed out the differences in the same tradition practiced in India and Pakistan. In India, even today Mushairas are very popular, but that is no longer the case in Pakistan. Ravish, at the same time, regretted the deterioration of this tradition. Towards the end, the session was opened to questions.

These festivals serve cultural, economic and political functions in a dynamic field characterized by varying degrees of competition and co-operation between different literary cultures in multiple languages, the uneven legitimation and reception of culture by different class formations, and the multiple locations where the humanities are practiced. Against this complex setting, I demonstrate that the literature festivals attempt to find unique ways to connect and in turn reimagine a fragmented and plural literary field in the public sphere. This work specifically turns to the producers, managers and the writer- curators of three festivals to understand what drives
