IND34470 Country: India Date: 2 March 2009 Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: IND34470 Country: India Date: 2 March 2009 Keywords: India – Punjab – Christians – Political parties – Elections – Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) – Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) – Bajrang Dal – State protection – Internal relocation This response was prepared by the Research & Information Services Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. This research response may not, under any circumstance, be cited in a decision or any other document. Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1. What is the current political situation in the Punjab? 2. What is the current situation for Christians in the Punjab? 3. Please provide information about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal, and their treatment of Christians (particularly in the Punjab). 4. Is state protection of Christians effective in the Punjab? 5. What information is there about the ability of Christians to relocate outside the Punjab? RESPONSE 1. What is the current political situation in the Punjab? After the latest state election held in February 2007, Parkash Singh Badal, leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) party, was sworn in for his fourth term as chief minister on 2 March 2007, and a new 117 member unicameral state legislature was born. It consists of 44 Indian National Congress (INC), 49 SAD, 19 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and 5 Independent members. The Punjab state sends 19 members to the Indian national parliament: 7 to the Rajya Sabha (Upper House) and 12 to the Lok Sabha (Lower House) (‗Badal sworn in as Punjab CM‘ 2007, Rediff, 2 March http://in.rediff.com/news/2007/mar/02punpoll.htm – Accessed 9 July 2007 – Attachment 1; ‗Punjab (state, India)‘ 2008, Microsoft Encarta Online Encyclopedia, Encarta website http://encarta.msn.com/text_761554626___0/Punjab_(state_India).html - Accessed 20 February 2009 – Attachment 2; ‗Punjab Vidhan Sabha: Legislative Assembly‘ (undated), Punjab Government website http://punjabassembly.nic.in/members/members.asp?mode=p&page=2 - Accessed 20 February 2009 – Attachment 3 - It appears that this site added an extra member ―Advocate General Punjab‖ to the member list by error.

The state coalition government consists of the two parties, the SAD and the BJP while the opposition is the Indian National Congress party (Congress, INC or Congress I), the dominant national party in Indian politics (Grewal, Sukhminderpal Singh 2009, ‗Elevation of Sukhbir Singh Badal as Deputy Chief Minister is an autocratic, desperate and needless decision of Sardar Prakash Singh Badal‘, N R I internet.com website, 18 January http://www.nriinternet.com/NRIbjp/Indian_Leaders/A_Z/G/Sukhminderpal_Grewal/2009/Jan_ Fab.htm - Accessed 23 February 2009 – Attachment 5; Kapoor, Sukhbir Singh (undated), ‗The Making of Operation Bluestar (1978-1984)‘, All About Sikhs website http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/operation-bluestar/the-making-of-operation-bluestar/print.html – Attachment 6). The 2008 UK Home Office Country of Information Report describes the three parties as follows: … Akali Dal also termed as Shiromani Akali Dal A Sikh party, formed in 1920 and demanding an independent Sikh state. This demand has been dropped since the Punjab peace accord of 1985. Formed an alliance with the BJP in 1997, but lost the Punjab state elections in 2002. Strong performance in the 2004 elections, winning 10 out of 13 seats in Punjab. It is a major player in the northern state of Punjab… Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People’s Party) (BJP) The leading political party of the 24-party National Democratic Alliance (NDA) governing coalition, which has downplayed its Hindutva associations since coming to power in 1998 in order to accommodate secular NDA partners. The BJP was formed in 1980 from the former Bharatiya Jana Sangh, founded in 1951 as the political wing of the extremist Hindu nationalist organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), responsible for outbreaks of communal violence in which a mosque was destroyed at Ayodhya. The BJP and its allies (NDA) were routed in a surprise defeat in the 2004 elections. The former PM Atal Behari Vajpayee is viewed as the leading moderate while former deputy PM and current BJP parliamentary leader L.K. Advani fronts the hardline faction... Indian National Congress (INC) Party of Indian independence, then of Government for 45 of the following 50 years under Nehru, his daughter Indira Gandhi (Congress I) and grandson Rajiv Gandhi. Had support throughout India, but suffered massive losses in the North and partially in the West in 1998 and lost the confidence of traditional voters such as Muslims and scheduled castes. Sonia Gandhi, widow of Rajiv Gandhi, took over as President of Congress (I) in April 1998. In December 2003, Congress began actively seeking alliance partners. The 2004 national elections ended governance by the BJP and brought in a new left-leaning coalition Government, the United Progressive Alliance, led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after Sonia Gandhi declined the post. The INC with its allies won 217 seats (35.8% of the votes) in the parliamentary election (UK Home Office 2008, Country of Origin Information Report: India, 31 January, Annex B Political Organisations, pp. 157 – 158 – Attachment 7). In recent years, victories in state elections have alternated between the Indian National Congress party on one side, and the combine of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on the other side (‗Badal sworn in as Punjab CM‘ 2007, Rediff, 2 March http://in.rediff.com/news/2007/mar/02punpoll.htm – Accessed 9 July 2007 – Attachment 1; UK Home Office 2008, Country of Origin Information Report: India, 31 January, pp. 15-16 – Attachment 7). As to the state government structure and the relationship between the branches of the government, the Punjab government website notes that: … The legislative wing of the State is the House of People or the Vidhan Sabha. Punjab has an unicameral legislature, having abolished the upper house, the Vidhan Parishad in the ‗60s. The chief minister and members of his cabinet are members of the legislature and they are at the top of the executive wing of the government and are accountable to the legislature. As elsewhere, the MLAs, or Members of the Legislative Assembly, wield considerable influence over policy- making and implementation, more so because they are members of District level Planning and Grievance Committees set up by the government in each district. Local government The system of local government consists of Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, and Notified Area Committees in urban areas. Their main source of revenue is octroi and their main administrative functions are conservancy, local health laws, and approving building plans in their local jurisdiction, In rural areas, there is the usual set up of village panchayats, panchayat samitis and zilla parishads though, in practice, they do not wield administrative or legal powers of any consequence. Unlike in states such as Karnataka or Maharashtra, local government cannot be said to be highly developed in Punjab. The judiciary The judiciary and the executive are separated in Punjab as in other states in the country. However, the state shares a common High Court with the state of Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh (‗Government – Overview‘ (undated), Government of Punjab website http://punjabgovt.nic.in/GOVERNMENT/GOVERNMENT1.HTM – Accessed 4 March 2008 – Attachment 8). Currently the state politicians are preoccupied with preparing for the national parliamentary elections due to be held in a few months (‗BJP forms campaign panels‘ 2009, The Tribune, 24 February http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090224/punjab.htm#5 - Accessed 24 February 2009 – Attachment 9; ‗Dr. D.S Cheema to SAD-BJP alliance candidate in coming Lok Sabha elections‘ 2009, Punjab Newsline Network, 15 January http://punjabnewsline.com/content/view/14866/38/ - Accessed 24 February 2009 – Attachment 10). It appears that under the Indian federalism, the central government exercises a dominant influence in the state political scene. The Punjab's Congress government was dismissed on 6 October 1983 and President's rule was imposed. Punjab was then declared a 'Disturbed Area' giving the police unlimited powers of arrest and detention (Kapoor, Sukhbir Singh (undated), ‗The Making of Operation Bluestar (1978-1984)‘, All About Sikhs website http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/operation-bluestar/the-making-of-operation-bluestar/print.html – Attachment 6). Another example of the close nexus between the central (union) and state governments is found in the case of the Sikh demand for autonomy for the state. It was discussed between a Union Minister and Secretary General of the SAD first and the implementation was proposed to be considered in the state assembly (‗SAD may table autonomy draft‘ 2000, The Tribune, 10 July http://www.tribuneindia.com/2000/20000710/punjab.htm#1

Thank you for respecting the hardwork of this author. About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’. Now as the second edition is ready for release, environment has transformed radically.

  • Report on International Religious Freedom 2006: India
    India Page 1 of 22 India International Religious Freedom Report 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice. However, the Government sometimes did not act swiftly enough to counter effectively societal attacks against religious minorities and attempts by some leaders of state and local governments to limit religious freedom. This resulted in part from legal constraints on national government action inherent in the country's federal structure and from shortcomings in its law enforcement and justice systems, although courts regularly upheld the constitutional provision of religious freedom. Despite Government efforts to foster communal harmony, some extremists continued to view ineffective investigation and prosecution of attacks on religious minorities, particularly at the state and local level, as a signal that they could commit such violence with impunity, although numerous cases were in the courts at the end of the reporting period. While the National Government took positive steps in key areas to improve religious freedom, the status of religious freedom generally remained the same during the period covered by this report. The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) continued to implement an inclusive and secular platform based on respect for the country's traditions of secular government and religious tolerance, and the rights of religious minorities. Terrorists attempted to provoke religious conflict by attacking Hindu Temples in Ayodhya and Varanasi. The Government reacted in a swift manner to rein in Hindu extremists, prevent revenge attacks and reprisal, and assure the Muslim community of its safety.

  • The Saffron Wave Meets the Silent Revolution: Why the Poor Vote for Hindu Nationalism in India
    THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tariq Thachil August 2009 © 2009 Tariq Thachil THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA Tariq Thachil, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 How do religious parties with historically elite support bases win the mass support required to succeed in democratic politics? This dissertation examines why the world’s largest such party, the upper-caste, Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has experienced variable success in wooing poor Hindu populations across India. Briefly, my research demonstrates that neither conventional clientelist techniques used by elite parties, nor strategies of ideological polarization favored by religious parties, explain the BJP’s pattern of success with poor Hindus. Instead the party has relied on the efforts of its ‘social service’ organizational affiliates in the broader Hindu nationalist movement. The dissertation articulates and tests several hypotheses about the efficacy of this organizational approach in forging party-voter linkages at the national, state, district, and individual level, employing a multi-level research design including a range of statistical and qualitative techniques of analysis. In doing so, the dissertation utilizes national and author-conducted local survey data, extensive interviews, and close observation of Hindu nationalist recruitment techniques collected over thirteen months of fieldwork. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Tariq Thachil was born in New Delhi, India. He received his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Stanford University in 2003.

  • Dhar on Tenterhooks
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Dhar on Tenterhooks Communal Tension in Madhya Pradesh ANSHU SALUJA Vol. 51, Issue No. 15, 09 Apr, 2016 Anshu Saluja ([email protected]) is a doctoral student at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. A communal flare up may have been avoided in the Bhojshala complex at Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, but majoritarian Hindu groups continue to stoke popular communal passions unabated. The district of Dhar in Madhya Pradesh has been in the news, attracting local as well as national media attention due to the serious likelihood of a communal flare up. At the root of this possibility lies the Bhojshala structure which both Hindus and Muslims seek to appropriate as their own place of worship. It is far from being the truth that the conflagration was nipped in the bud. The Hindu right wing organisations, with the backing of the Sangh Parivar and its local pracharaks (propagators), held the town of Dhar to ransom for days on end, in the face of persistent attempts made by the administration to arrive at a settlement. However, in these repeated efforts at negotiations, the voice of the Muslim community was not taken into consideration at all. Moreover no lasting solution has been worked out despite repeated meetings with right wing Hindu organisations. The root cause of the furore remains largely unaddressed. But first, let me recapitulate in brief the history of the dispute surrounding the Bhojshala complex in Dhar. Contextualising the Conflict The district of Dhar lies in the western part of Madhya Pradesh and is less than 100 km away from Indore.
