  • Civil Society in Conflict Cities: the Case of Ahmedabad
    Working Paper no. 64 - Cities and Fragile States - CIVIL SOCIETY IN CONFLICT CITIES: THE CASE OF AHMEDABAD Neera Chandhoke University of Delhi November 2009 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © N. Chandhoke, 2009 24 Crisis States Research Centre Civil Society in Conflict Cities: The Case of Ahmedabad1 Neera Chandhoke University of Delhi Introduction In 2002, mobs belonging to the cadres of the Hindu religious right (the Sangh Parivar)2 and a motley collection of followers executed what is best described as a ‘near pogrom’ of the Muslim inhabitants of Ahmedabad, where – although almost all the districts of Gujarat were affected by communal violence – aggression against Muslims took on particularly savage forms. This paper asks what accounts for the failure of civil society in Ahmedabad to raise a collective voice of protest against immoderate and deliberate acts of violence, both by state officials and its own organisations. Violence is not a stranger to Ahmedabad. The city is known for the frequency, the scale and the intensity of communal riots between Hindus and Muslims, even when the rest of the country and the state of Gujarat have not witnessed such violence. The first communal riot occurred in 1941, and another took place on the eve of the partition of the country.3 In 1969, in the first major communal riot to take place in the post independence period, 1,500 people (90 percent of all those killed) belonged to the Muslim community, and property worth 40 million rupees was destroyed (Shah 1970).

    Annual Report 2009 - 2010 About Saath SAATH is a non-governmental organization in Gujarat, India, registered as a Public Charitable Trust since 1989. In Gujarati the word saath means, “Together, co-operation, a collective or support.' Saath's one-stop, integrated services reach over 100,000 slum dwellers in Ahmedabad, and many more in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in India. Together, we are creating inclusive cities. Mission statement Utilizing market-based strategies to create inclusive societies by empowering India's urban and rural poor. Approach SAATH pioneered the Integrated Slum Development Programme in 1989, an approach that seeks to turn slums into vibrant neighbourhoods. Since the poor often have many needs at once, SAATH has created one-stop centres, through which slum residents have access to services such as health, education, employment, micro finance and affordable housing. We invest in human capacity of persons to manage SAATH programs in their communities. Communities co-invest with SAATH and donors by paying for, deciding, and implementing programs. SAATH engages institutions, corporates and individuals throughout the world as partners and supporters of integrated development in India.

Credit: YouTube Sharik Laliwala 92 interactions B O O K S C O M M U N A L I S M L G B T Q I A + U R B A N W O M E N 30/SEP/2018 The first part of this series dealt with broad movements in Ahmedabad’s history until India’s independence in 1947 keeping in mind and reviewing Saroop Dhruv’s recent work in Gujarati, Shahernama (Darshan, 2018). The second article outlined the post-colonial journey of Ahmedabad while continuing to examine Shahernama. This article reviews selected themes covered in Seminar magazine’s July 2018 issue titled ‘Ahmedabad: the city & her soul’. How do women imagine a city? What are the ways in which they can claim its public spaces? Seminar magazine’s July 2018 issue titled ‘Ahmedabad: The city & her soul’ is rooted in addressing these concerns by placing perspectives by women at the centre-stage of scholarly discourse of visualising Ahmedabad, as its editor Harmony Siganporia proposes. In this piece, I review themes covered in a selected set of articles from this issue by all-women writers who have spent (at least) some period of their lives in the city.

    Through Him, With Him, In Him Faithful to Christ KARUNA Stories of humble humanitarian works by the Catholic Church of Gujarat during COVID-19 Blessed by the Bishops of Gujarat and Issued by Fr. Vinayak Jadav, Spokesperson, Catholic Church-Gujarat State. 17 June 2020 Volume : 13 Design : DHARMESH VAGHELA “We cannot pretend to be healthy in a world that is sick” - Pope on Environment Day 2020 The celebrations for this year's World Environment Day – June 5, scheduled to take place in Colombia, were held online instead due to the corona virus pandemic. In a letter addressed to Colombian President Ivan Duque, Pope Francis stresses that “the protection of the environment and respect for the biodiversity of the planet are issues that affect us all." “We cannot pretend to be healthy in a world that is sick”, writes the Pope. “The wounds inflicted on our mother earth are wounds that also bleed in us.” "This is not a time to continue looking the other way, indifferent to the signs that our planet is being plundered and violated by greed for profit, very often in the name of progress.” The Holy Father says “we have the chance to commit ourselves to passing a better, healthier world on to future generations.” He then recalls the recent celebrations of the fifth anniversary of his encyclical 'Laudato Si'. This “drew attention to the cry that mother earth lifts up to us. Finally, the Pope expresses his trust that all deliberations and conclusions “will always foster the building of an increasingly habitable world and a more humane society, where all of us have a place and no one is ever left behind.” (Courtesy - Vatican News) Serving through Community Kitchens : SXSSS, Ahmedabad Pandemic Covid-19 has triggered one of the world's biggest humanitarian crisis.

  • Coping with Injustice with Coping
    Perspectives of victims of Hindu-Muslim violence in Gujarat, India GERBEN DE WITTE COPING WITH INJUSTICE Photo front page: Amit Dave / Reuters Perspectives of victims of Hindu-Muslim violence in Gujarat, India MSc thesis GERBEN DE WITTE October 2013 Registration number 880406-967-050 Study programme MSc International Development Studies Specialization Communication, Technology and Policy Chair group Knowledge, Technology and Innovation Thesis code TAD-80433 Supervisor dr. ir. Kees Jansen COPING WITH INJUSTICE Abstract This thesis presents the perspectives of riot victims on the justice process after the 2002 riots in Gujarat, a state in western India. These riots, organized by Hindu right-wing forces with complicity of the state government, were mainly one-sided attacks on Muslims. The justice process after the riots has been protracted: judicial systems have failed to bring justice, and Muslims have experienced increasing discrimination and segregation. This study – based on interviews and observations in Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s largest city – looks at the way Muslim riot victims deal with this situation of injustice, and what their perspective on the concept of justice is. Findings suggest that riot victims often associate the concept of justice with rectificatory justice. Although they are aware of other types of justice that might be relevant to them, they have only pursued justice through the judicial system. This has a lot to do with their limited ability to pursue justice, due to the circumstances they live in. Being dependent on the Hindu majority for their position in society, Muslims fear that pursuing justice might negatively affect their living situation. Additionally, they often experience other pressing issues that need their attention, and therefore pursuing justice is not their main priority.
