The comprehensive accounts of activities and positive achievements by the Council have been reported in this Annual Report. With the goal to maintain or improve the standards of newspapers and news agencies and to promote freedom of the press, this year the Council has been quite dynamic in discharging its major function of adjudication of complaints filed with the Council, for or against the press,. I am happy to acknowledge the efforts of the members, officers and staff of the Council who have tirelessly worked towards improving the functioning of the Council and to enthusiastically clear the backlogs of pending cases with the Council. In recent years we have witnessed a huge technological revolution that has changed the global communication systems causing both positive and negative impacts on the news media, at national and international levels. General public are more dependent on digital media for their daily dose of news, information and views, making the fight for survival of newspapers/print media extremely difficult. Unlike print media, electronic media is growing limitlessly and hence needs to be regulated from time to time for improving the content and standard of news, information and opinions. To make this a reality, the Press Council had proposed an amendment in the definition of the term ‘Newspaper’ as defined in the Press Council of India Act, 1978 to include ‘any public news including periodicals published through printing and/or communicated through any electronic device/media’ within the purview of the jurisdiction of the Council. It is also proposed to change the name of the Council from ‘Press Council of India’ to ‘Media Council of India’. The proposal regarding empowerment of the Council to effectively implement its mandate as well as establishment of Media Council is with the Government for consideration. This year the Council also took into consideration the unethical practice of ‘paid news’ that threatens to vitiate the quality of news throughout the country, more so when elections approach. Reporting untrue, baseless, prejudiced, irrelevant and defaming news item/s both during electoral process and also in day to day commercial activities have shocked the conscience of the nation and obviously the Press Council of India. To tackle this menace the Press Council of India has constituted several sub-committees to study the phenomenon of paid news syndrome which surfaced during the previous State Assembly elections. To uphold the freedom of the press, several Committees have been constituted to deal with various subjects related to the press and journalists ranging from safety of journalists to issuance of guidelines on media reporting during elections, to name a few. While some of the Committees have prepared and submitted their reports, such as the Report on Safety of Journalists; the Report on the Killing of Journalists in two separate incidents that occurred in Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh; and the Report on the Issue of Advertisements from Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Telangana, while other Committees are in the process of examining/investigating the matters referred to them. Since 2012, several discussion were held at national and international levels in order to establish a South Asian regional media council for effective exchange of views, sharing rich experiences/knowledge and to promote peace, stability, amity and prosperity in the region in the age of a vibrant media expansion and public diplomacy. The Press Council of India taking a lead has formed a Sub-committee to take the process forward

  • Freedom in West Bengal Revised
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington Freedom and its Enemies: Politics of Transition in West Bengal, 1947-1949 * Sekhar Bandyopadhyay Victoria University of Wellington I The fiftieth anniversary of Indian independence became an occasion for the publication of a huge body of literature on post-colonial India. Understandably, the discussion of 1947 in this literature is largely focussed on Partition—its memories and its long-term effects on the nation. 1 Earlier studies on Partition looked at the ‘event’ as a part of the grand narrative of the formation of two nation-states in the subcontinent; but in recent times the historians’ gaze has shifted to what Gyanendra Pandey has described as ‘a history of the lives and experiences of the people who lived through that time’. 2 So far as Bengal is concerned, such experiences have been analysed in two subsets, i.e., the experience of the borderland, and the experience of the refugees. As the surgical knife of Sir Cyril Ratcliffe was hastily and erratically drawn across Bengal, it created an international boundary that was seriously flawed and which brutally disrupted the life and livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Bengalis, many of whom suddenly found themselves living in what they conceived of as ‘enemy’ territory. Even those who ended up on the ‘right’ side of the border, like the Hindus in Murshidabad and Nadia, were apprehensive that they might be sacrificed and exchanged for the Hindus in Khulna who were caught up on the wrong side and vehemently demanded to cross over.

  • China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Indian Print Media: the Case Study of Elite English Press
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 25, Issue - 2, 2018, 229:248 China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Indian Print Media: The Case Study of Elite English Press Dr. Muqarrab Akbar and Dr. Malik Adnan Abstract This study aimed to explore the treatment of Indian elite press towards the matter of China Pakistan Economic Corridor. The study deals with the quantitative and qualitative approaches in order to measure and examine the stance of the Indian Print media towards the said issue. For the purpose of analysis four English newspapers, The Times of India, The Hindu, Hindustan Times and Tribune India were selected during the June, 2016-December, 2017 as during this period CPEC was the hot debate in the regional media especially in India. All the news stories were coded against 5 categories with regard to Pak-China, Pak-India and China-India relations in the context of CPEC. The findings revealed that Indian Print media gave very negative coverage to the issue of CPEC in their news stories. The issue was framed as a bigger threat in the region, a militant support towards Kashmir conflict between both countries. Furthermore, it was also divulged that the proportion of negative coverage was greater than its positive coverage. Pakistan and China relations were framed as a deal to counter India for being closeness of CPEC route to Kashmir valley. Last but not the least, this project was considered a violation of Indian sovereignty with regard to its territory. The strategic interests were framed against the India which could lead to impact the peace in the Southeast Asia if the project is successfully executed.

  • Hunting for Dawood Ibrahim - the International Terrorism Monitor: Paper No
    HUNTING FOR DAWOOD IBRAHIM - THE INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM MONITOR: PAPER NO. 122 By B.Raman In their happiness over the conviction of some of the accused involved in the Mumbai explosions of March,1993, the Indian Police and other security agencies should not forget that the mastermind of this act of mass casualty terrorism continues to live under the protection of the Pervez Musharraf regime in Pakistan. He, Tiger Memon and others enjoying the hospitality of the Pakistani authorities have to be brought to justice. 2. It is unfortunate that the Government of India headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has not been articulating openly and vigorously the perfidy of the Musharraf regime in giving sanctuary and protection to Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon and eighteen others wanted for trial in India on charges of their involvement in acts of terrorism such as killing hundreds of innocent civilians through improvised explosive devices (IEDs), hijacking of aircraft etc. 3. Dawood Ibrahim has also to be interrogated by independent investigators outside Pakistan on his links with A.Q.Khan, Pakistan's nuclear scientist, and his role in the financing of Pakistan's clandestine procurement of military nuclear material abroad and their transport to Pakistan and in setting up a factory in Malaysia through a Sri Lankan Muslim of Indian origin ( Bukhary Seyed Abu Tahir) for the manufacture of centrifuges required for uranium enrichment. 4. By giving protection to Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistani territory, Musharraf has become what is known in law as an accomplice after the fact in the trial relating to the Mumbai explosions of March,1993.

  • D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: Rethinking a Case of ‘Crime-Terror Convergence’ in South Asia
    Mahadevan – D-company & 1993 Mumbai Bombings 54 The European Review of Organised Crime Original article D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: rethinking a case of ‘crime-terror convergence’ in South Asia Prem Mahadevan* Abstract: In 1993, a transnational crime organization known as D-Company carried out mass-casualty terrorist bombings in Mumbai, India. The reasons for this action have been attributed to religious grievances. However, little attention has been given to the role played by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence in supporting the bombings. Taking into account what has emerged in the public domain over the last 28 years regarding ISI links with D-Company and with international jihadist groups more generally, a re-assessment of the 1993 bombings is required. Hitherto regarded as an example of ‘crime-terror convergence’, it appears that D-Company might be more aptly considered an instrument of covert action. Keywords: Terrorism, heroin, gold, intelligence, covert operations. * Prem Mahadevan is Senior Analyst, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.

For permissions please email: [email protected] 54 Mahadevan – D-company & 1993 Mumbai Bombings 55 Introduction This article examines why the transnational crime syndicate known as ‘D-Company’ bombed the city of Mumbai in 1993. In what remains the bloodiest-ever terror incident on Indian soil, 257 civilians were killed by 12 near-synchronous explosions. The bombs had been assembled using military-grade explosive smuggled from abroad. The events of that day, Friday 12 March 1993, are considered by scholars as an example of hybridity between organized crime and political terrorism (Rollins, Wyler and Rosen, 2010: 14-16).
