  • Open Letter Against Sec 377 by Amartya Sen, Vikram Seth and Others, 2006
    Open Letters Against Sec 377 These two open letters bring together the voices of many of the most eminent and respected Indians, collectively saying that on the grounds of fundamental human rights Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, a British-era law that criminalizes same-sex love between adults, should be struck down immediately. The eminent signatories to these letters are asking our government, our courts, and the people of this country to join their voices against this archaic and oppressive law, and to put India in line with other progressive countries that are striving to realize the foundational goal of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that “All persons are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” They have come together to defend the rights and freedom not just of sexual minorities in India but to uphold the dignity and vigour of Indian democracy itself. Navigating Through This Press Kit This kit contains, in order, i. A statement by Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate ii. The text of the main Open Letter iii. The list of Signatories iv. Sexual minorities in India - Frequently Asked Questions and Clarifications v. A summary of laws concerning the rights and situation of sexual minorities globally vi. Contact Information for further information/interviews Strictly embargoed until 16th September 2006 Not for distribution or publication without prior permission of the main signatories. All legal rights reserved worldwide. 1 In Support Cambridge 20 August 2006 A Statement in Support of the Open Letter by Vikram Seth and Others I have read with much interest and agreement the open letter of Vikram Seth and others on the need to overturn section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.

  • Indian Railways Budget Speech 2004-05 (Interim)
    Indian Railways Budget Speech 2004-05 (Interim) Speech of Shri Nitish Kumar Introducing the Railway Budget for 2004-2005, on 30 th January, 2004 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to place before the House the Revised Estimates for 2003-2004 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2004-2005. The estimates for the next financial year are for the whole year, but at present I seek from the August House a "Vote on Account", sufficient to provide for the estimated expenditure for the first four months. The requirements for the remaining part of the year are to be voted separately, later on. 2. I would like to make special mention of some of the areas in which concrete measures have been initiated under the dynamic leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister. Thanks to his farsighted decision, the Railways have been able to embark upon the much needed programme of replacement and renewals of over-aged assets with an assured funding through the Special Railway Safety Fund, having substantial contribution from the general exchequer. The launching of the National Rail Vikas Yojana, for removal of bottlenecks in the saturated sections of the railway network, is yet another initiative. The Technology Mission on Railway Safety, announced on Independence Day last year, aims at developing and adopting state- of-the-art safety, control and design technologies. The capital component of Railways' plan outlay registered a considerable boost under his guidance, which facilitated completion of a number of projects. Further, Railways have also embarked on several non-budgetary initiatives including cost sharing arrangements to raise funds for various ' projects.

  • MEDIA TRIAL: an IMPEDIMENT in FAIR TRIAL Authored By: Nitesh Tripathi
    ISSN 2455-4782 MEDIA TRIAL: AN IMPEDIMENT IN FAIR TRIAL Authored by: Nitesh Tripathi * Research Scholar ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In today’s time, high decibel journalism is in vogue in news channel debates. It doesn’t matter whether the panelist is making sound arguments; the only thing that matters is how much louder he can shout. And it is not just about television debates trying to garner TRPs. Media organizations, be it print, electronic or new media, in order to gain more audience bother less about credibility of source and instead try to sensationalize news which is done even at the cost of distortion of facts. This is evident from the number of outstanding cases of defamation media organizations have against them in court. In a case before the Judiciary, the media gives its own verdict and thus shapes public opinion. This in turn compromises with the decision of the judiciary and sometimes they have to give in under popular public sentiments and pressure. This was observed in the case of Afzal Guru where evidence was only circumstantial, and there was no evidence that he belonged to any terrorist organization. It is in this context Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once said “It doesn't matter if justice is on your side. You have to depict your position as just.” This statement goes on to show how much powerful media is and how quickly it can create a perception in people’s mind. They can make someone Hero and within no time can turn them into villain. In extreme cases such as that of Khurshid Anwar, the victim took even his own life.
