Written by Ritika Chopra | New Delhi | Updated: January 29, 2016 8:24 am President Pranab Mukherjee is learnt to have ignored Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani’s recommendation while appointing Prof M Jagadesh Kumar as the Vice-Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). According to sources, Irani had communicated her preference for scientist V S Chauhan to the President, out of the four finalists shortlisted by the selection committee for the post of V-C. But Mukherjee chose IIT-Delhi’s Prof Kumar. JNU professors R N K Bamezai and Ramakrishna Ramaswamy were the other contenders. The Indian Express has learnt that this is the second time in the last four months that the minister’s suggestion for appointing a central university V-C was not accepted by the President. Mukherjee had also ignored Irani’s choice for Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) in Hyderabad. Mohammed Aslam Parvaiz was appointed as MANUU’s head in October 2015. Although the President is under no obligation to follow the minister’s recommendation, sources said there are several precedents to show that this is the norm. Chauhan is a leader in malaria research and his contributions are in the field of malaria vaccine and drug development.

  • Amnesty International India- Kashmir Situation Update Final
    KASHMIR – SITUATION UPDATE AND ANALYSIS ! On 5 August 2019, the Government of India unilaterally revoked Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. Article 370 guaranteed special autonomy to Jammu & Kashmir and gave it independence over matters excluding foreign affairs, defence and communication. This was followed by the enactment of the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganization Act that aims to bifurcate the state of Jammu & Kashmir into two separate union territories on 31 October 2019. Union territories, as opposed to states, are governed by the central government. All these amendments and changes were made amidst a complete communication clampdown, curfew on movement and mass detentions of political leaders in the region. In September and October 2019, Amnesty International India spoke to the people of Jammu & Kashmir, including those detained in the context of the larger clampdown, as well as with the lawyers representing detained persons; medical professionals working in both government and private hospitals in the capital city of Srinagar; journalists and editors of local media; and representatives of the regional political parties. Amnesty International India reviewed photographs and documents presented as evidence of many specific events described during the interviews. At the time of conducting these interviews, while both mobile phone and landline services were restored in the Jammu region, only landline services were restored in Kashmir. !1 Arbitrary mass detentions “Top leaders are under arrest…At the district level people have been arrested. At block level also our leaders are under arrest…This is madness” Amnesty International India documented a clear pattern of authorities using administrative detention on politicians, activists and anyone likely to hold a dissenting opinion before and after 5 August.

  • Ramjas and the Purge of Dissent Syed Areesh Ahmad Mar 9, 2017
    Free speech and pluralism Ramjas and the Purge of Dissent Syed Areesh Ahmad Mar 9, 2017 Students at a 'Save DU' march from Khalsa College to Art Faculty at North Campus in Delhi University against viollence at Ramjas College last week, in New Delhi on February 28, 2017. Photo: Sandeep Saxena The Hindu It may be tempting to count the violence at Ramjas College, Delhi, in February as either isolated or yet another fracas. Reducing the organised muzzling of an event meant to celebrate ideas to mere vandalism runs the danger of ignoring the right-wing forces that are set on dismantling an India in which the coexistence of varied and even non-conforming intellectual strands is celebrated. In this article, Syed Areesh Ahmad, Assistant Professor, Ramjas College, turns the spotlight on the alarming trend of organised violence that aims to not merely restrict free speech, but also to hamper individual reasoning and thereby rid India of its rich pluralist tradition. By placing the philosophical works of Aristotle, John Locke, and J.S. Mill and the traditions of Bhakti and Sufi movements, in the context of the legal framing and practice of freedom of expression in modern states, he points out that societies only stand to gain from free speech and the spirit of dissent. Defending universities as spaces of freedom, he emphasises, requires a thorough reiteration of an undiluted commitment to safeguarding India’s rich and historic diversity. he final days of February 2017 were immensely painful for most of us at Ramjas College. In the eye of the storm was a seminar on ‘Cultures of Protest’, organised jointly by the English Department and the T Ramjas Literary Society—Wordcraft—over two days, February 21, and 22, with multiple sessions and many speakers lined up.
