  • Human Rights Monitoring Report
    Human Rights Monitoring Report 1 – 31 May 2018 1 June 2018 1 Odhikar has, since 1994, been monitoring the human rights situation in Bangladesh in order to promote and protect civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of Bangladeshi citizens and to report on violations and defend the victims. Odhikar does not believe that the human rights movement merely endeavours to protect the „individual‟ from violations perpetrated by the state; rather, it believes that the movement to establish the rights and dignity of every individual is part of the struggle to constitute Bangladesh as a democratic state. Odhikar has always been consistent in creating mass awareness of human rights issues using several means, including reporting violations perpetrated by the State and advocacy and campaign to ensure internationally recognised civil and political rights of citizens. The Organisation unconditionally stands by the victims of oppression and maintains no prejudice with regard to political leanings or ideological orientation, race, religion or sex. In line with this campaign, Odhikar prepares and releases human rights status reports every month. The Organisation has prepared and disseminated this human rights monitoring report of May 2018, despite facing persecution and continuous harassment and threats to its existence since 2013. Although many incidents of human rights violations occur every month, only a few significant incidents have been highlighted in this report. Information used in the report was gathered by grassroots human rights

But the key thread, if anywhere, is to be found in the interwoven themes of the creation of the D’Alema government in October 1998 (and its subsequent political fall-out), the difficulty of reforming the electoral law, and hence the hyperfragmented party system, and the short, sharp crisis of the D’Alema cabinet just before Christmas 1999. Short though the crisis was, it jumbled up politics once more and left new loose ends that will gradually unwind themselves in the coming year. Political Jostling Having become prime minister as the result of a traditional bout of parliamentary plotting,1 D’Alema spent most of the first half of 1999 beating off the sustained and insistent attacks on his leader- ship launched by the deposed former premier, Romano Prodi, and his supporters. Even after Prodi had been nominated to the Presi- dency of the European Commission on 24 March 1999, the Demo- cratici per Prodi (Democrats), which adopted a somewhat Disneyesque donkey as their electoral symbol, continued to jab at D’Alema from a distance.

  • Namo: the Political Work of the Selfie in the 2014 Indian General Elections
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), Feature 1686–1700 1932–8036/2015FEA0002 #NaMo: The Political Work of the Selfie in the 2014 Indian General Elections ANIRBAN K. BAISHYA1 University of Southern California, USA Keywords: Narendra Modi, BJP, selfie, Twitter, election, affect, subsumption A May 2014 issue of Open Magazine, an Indian weekly news digest, celebrated the victory of Narendra Modi, the new Indian prime minister, with an iconic portrait with the caption “Triumph of the Will” (see Figure 1). Given the pronounced right-wing leanings of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the political party with which Modi is affiliated, the reference in the caption to the Leni Reifenstahl film of the same name might have been more than just a mere play on words. Added to the oft-iterated implication of the BJP ministry in the Gujarat riots of 2002 during Narendra Modi’s chief ministership, Open Magazine’s low-angle portrait of the incumbent prime minister, together with the caption, seemed to convey a deliberate construction of Modi as a man of iron will, whose government promised not to stray from the “right” path (pun intended). Figure 1. Open Magazine’s celebratory cover image of Narendra Modi. 1 I would like to thank Nitin Govil, Amit Baishya, and Darshana Sreedhar for their valuable insights and suggestions for this article.
