  • Chapter-I Security Scenario in India
    Chapter-I Security Scenario in India The security scenario in the country has never been so bad and alarming as it is now. The terror attacks which were earlier confined to Kashmir and North East have now spread to all over the country. The serial bomb blasts are taking place at different places in the country at regular intervals. The situation in Kashmir has been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent that the separatists in Kashmir valley have started organising huge anti-India rallies wielding Pakistani flags, denouncing India and seeking independence. The influx of Bangladeshis into the country continues unabated pausing a very grave threat to the security interests of the country. The naxalites are making steady inroads into more and more areas in the country and they have started attacking the security forces and looting arms and ammunition from the police stations. Some pseudo-secularists and the so-called leftist intellectuals in the country feel nothing wrong in openly supporting these anti-national movements. A substantial section of the press and electronic media also appear to be sympathising with such anti-national movements. At a time when the unity is the need of the hour, the UPA government appears to be promoting disunity among various sections of people with its quota politics and other such flawed policies. The situation in the country is thus hopelessly grim and grave. Some of the major challenges threatening the unity and integrity of the country which need to be tackled on top priority are discussed here. Fake Currency as a Tool of Economic Terrorism India is presently reeling under the impact of continued terror attacks mainly in the form of serial bomb blasts orchestrated by various ISI-sponsored Muslim terror groups including the home-grown terror outfits SIMI and Indian Mujahideen.

    2008 Human Rights Reports: India Page 1 of 42 2008 Human Rights Reports: India BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR 2008 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices February 25, 2009 India is a multiparty, federal, parliamentary democracy with a bicameral parliament and a population of approximately 1.1 billion with an active civil society. Manmohan Singh became prime minister following his Congress Party-led coalition's victory in the 2004 general elections, which were considered free and fair, despite scattered instances of violence. Serious internal conflicts affected the states of Jammu and Kashmir, as well as several states in the north and east. While civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, security forces occasionally acted independently of government authority during incidents of communal tensions in states such as Karnataka. The government generally respected the rights of its citizens; however, serious problems remained. Major problems included extrajudicial killings of persons in custody, disappearances, and torture and rape by police and other security forces. Investigations into individual abuses and legal punishment for perpetrators occurred, but for the majority of abuses, the lack of accountability created an atmosphere of impunity. Poor prison conditions and lengthy detentions during both pretrial and trial proceedings remained significant problems. Officials used special antiterrorism legislation to justify the excessive use of force. Corruption existed at all levels of government and police. The government applied restrictions to the travel and activities of visiting experts and scholars. Significant restrictions remained on the funding and activities of NGOs. Increasing attacks against religious minorities and the promulgation of antireligious conversion laws were concerns.
