  • Anti-Muslim Hatred and Discrimination Submission from Dia Kayyali Associate Director of Advocacy at Mnemonic, Independent Consul
    Anti-Muslim Hatred and Discrimination Submission from Dia Kayyali Associate Director of Advocacy at Mnemonic, independent consultant on technology and human rights, and co-chair of the Christchurch Call Advisory Network1 [email protected] Summary: This submission focuses on the online aspect of anti-Muslim hatred and discrimination (Islamophobia). Content that incites violence against Muslims is too often left up on major social media platforms, while important content produced by Muslims is often removed. This leads to diminishing opportunities for justice in conflict zones such as Syria, while facilitating increased violence against Muslim communities around the world. Furthermore, online content is never solely online. Rather, it is intimately linked to violence and discrimination against Muslims in a harmful feedback loop. How the online feeds into the offline and back again, creating a vicious cycle The online component of Islamophobia has deadly consequences for Muslims around the world. At the same time, predominantly Muslim communities see content they post online regularly removed by major social media companies. Islamophobia, like other social ills, is stuck in a dangerous feedback loop. Offline discrimination and violence lead to online hate speech and dangerous speech. This content then worsens discrimination, and sometimes directly incites offline violence and other negative consequences. The cycle is self-perpetuating, and it is deadly. Muslim lives have already been lost as a result, and Islamophobia threatens other essential human rights including freedoms of expression and religion. Who is Muslim? Islamophobia doesn’t just impact Muslims. As outlined in this submission, it also impacts people who are secular or practice other religions but are in Muslim majority countries or communities.

    9 September 2020 Dear Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, CC: Monika Bickert, Facebook Oversight Board, Policy Team Members in Menlo Park We, the undersigned organizations, write to urge you to take decisive action to address Facebook India’s bias and failure to address dangerous content in India. We call on you to ensure that the ongoing human rights audit of Facebook India reported by Time Magazine is overseen by high level staff in your Menlo Park office, increase engagement with human rights and grassroots organizations in conducting the audit and devising solutions to the continuing problem of dangerous content on your platform, and put Head of Public Policy Ankhi Das on leave pending completion of the audit.1 The need to act is urgent - lives are at stake. The link between content on your platform and offline violence in India is no secret, but two articles from The Wall Street Journal have revealed disturbing details about the problem. An August 14th, 2020 article described how top leadership at Facebook’s India office refused to apply Facebook’s own rules to politicians from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite clear violations of Facebook’s policies against incitement to violence, hate speech, and misinformation.2 Your top policy executive, Ankhi Das, reportedly “told staff members that punishing violations by politicians from Mr. Modi’s party would damage the company’s business prospects in the country,” according to current and former employees.3 In an August 30 article, former employees in both India and the U.S

  • Violence Against Women in Ethnic Riots an Interpretive Exercise Based on Anti-Muslim Riots in Gujarat, 2002 and Uttar-Pradesh, 2013 in India
    Violence Against Women in Ethnic Riots An Interpretive Exercise Based on Anti-Muslim Riots in Gujarat, 2002 and Uttar-Pradesh, 2013 in India By Misha Maitreyi Submitted to the Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Lea Sgier Budapest, Hungary June 2017 CEU eTD Collection Abstract This thesis attempts to conduct a study of communal riots of Gujarat (2002) and Uttar Pradesh (2013) through an interpretive lens. The research focuses on violence against women in these Hindu-Muslim riots in India and presents the cases of communal violence in the broader context of Indian politics. With the study of the existing literature, it presents a detailed description of the riots, followed by a discussion on the elements of complicit political forces and commonality of gender violence. It looks at gender violence through the lens of physical and symbolic violence perpetrated against women. Moreover, it attempts to develop an understanding of the riots through the perspective of hidden political motivations beneath it. Finally, the thesis places these riots within the larger Indian political context by discussing the political history of the country, arguing that competitive electoral democracy was not present since the formation of independent India in 1947. Rather, it evolved in the 1970s-1980s with the weakening of the oldest political party, Congress Party and the rise of Mandal-Mandir agitations. The thesis also locates the rise of Hindutva politics of BJP in that period and how it has strengthened till now in context of communal riots in the country.

  • From Bullet Trail to Bullet Train 125 from Bullet Trail to Bullet Train
    From Bullet Trail to Bullet Train 125 From Bullet Trail to Bullet Train Anand Teltumbde On 5th September 2017, the bullet trail of the Hindutva forces devoured one more precious life. Personally speaking, this was my third loss of a comrade or friend – Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and now, Gauri Lankesh. The man on the street, too, broadly knows who their killers are. However, even after four years of the first of these murders, the investigations have not made any significant progress. The special investigation team of the Maharashtra police had apprehended one Sameer Gaikwad, a sadhak of the Sanatan Sanstha, on 15th September 2015 for the murder of Pansare and filed a chargesheet against him on 14th December 2015. In Dabholkar’s case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), brought in on the directions of the Bombay High Court, had arrested one Virendra Tawde, an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeon and a member of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS), a splinter of the Sanatan Sanstha, in Pune in June 2016 on the charges of arranging weapons and logistics for the planned murder. Recently, on 17th June 2017, Gaikwad managed to get bail from the Kolhapur District and Sessions Court, which was rejected earlier by the same court as well as by the High Court, and effectively demolished the hope of securing justice for these martyrs. His two accomplices, Vinay Pawar and Sarang Akolkar, both sanstha members are still at large. There is absolutely no reprinted from Economic and Political Weekly, forward movement in Kalburgi’s case whereas in Gauri’s, the vol.52, iSSUE NO.

  • Death Penalty & Genocide SWRK4007
    Death Penalty & Genocide SWRK4007 Dr. Anupam Kumar Verma Assistant Professor Dept. of Social Work MGCUB, Bihar DEATH PENALTY Capital punishment Death Penalty, also known as the Capital Punishment, is a government sanctioned practice whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. Death penalty or Capital Punishment is a legal process wherein a person is put to death by a state in accordance to a crime committed. Crimes that are punishable by Death are known as capital crimes or capital offences, and commonly include offences such as Murder, Treason, War crimes, Crimes against humanity and Genocide. Capital punishment has been used over the years by almost every society in order to punish the guilty for some particular crimes such as punishment for premeditated murder, espionage (Secret) , treason etc. In some countries sexual crimes such as Rape, or related activities carry the death penalty, so does Religious Crimes such as Apostasy (the formal renunciation of the State religion). Worldwide only 58 nations (Iran, United States, Egypt, Nigeria including India) are actively practicing capital punishment, whereas 95 countries(France, South Korea, Alska, Ghana, Ireland) have abolished the use of capital punishment Types of Death Penalty: In Ancient History– Crushing by Elephant, Blood Eagle, Boiling to Death, Stoning, Garrote. - Crucifixion -Lethal injection (2001) - Hanging to till Death - Electric chair(1926) -Gas -Firing squad Cases & Statement: In the Judgment of ‘Bachan Singh v/s State of Punjab (1980)2SCJ475’, 1980, the Supreme Court ruled that death penalty should only be used in the ‘Rarest of Rare’ cases, but does not give a definition as to what ‘Rarest of Rare’ means.
