Vagal Inhibition – Homicide Cases - 247 Guideline For Investigators K.P.S. Jeyachandran The Indian Police Journal or the last 70 years of our Independence, the Indian Police and all the stakeholders of Internal Security deserve to be congratulated for steering the Fnation towards the secured democratic foundation. Despite all the constraints, the Indian Police and stakeholders of Internal Security have provided a semblance of security and prosperity. In this issue of the Indian Police Journal, many relevant issues relating to Policing have been discussed. In a paper titled ‘transforming Police into SMART ‘Police’, Shri Rajeev Tandon, IPS vouches for metamorphosis of the Indian Police into SMART Police. ‘Most of us argue that the performance of Police has not been up to the Public expectations after Independence and continues to be a object of public distrust, fear and condemnations. Increasing population rapid urbanisation, uneven socio-economic distribution, terrorism, enactment of new economic and social laws etc. have added new dimensions to police functioning. Hence there is a need to transform Police into SMART Police which can be accepted by society.’ An effective way for the law enforcement agencies to fight crime is to closely integrate the police resources with the communities they serve and to leverage the local relationship. This is critical in bridging the gap between public expectations and the quality of service delivery by the police. Police need to be Sensitive, Alert and Responsive to the citizens especially youth, women, senior citizens, weaker sections, etc. These interactions would also provide the much needed intelligence to the police to detect and contain crime, maintain law and order, and ensure public peace and safety. To achieve this police should actively reach out to these groups through all possible formats such as print, electronic and social media. This would help foster greater public participation and cooperation in bridging the gap between the police and the public to attain the above objectives. Innovative policing such as broadcasting Police News, interaction with the school students, senior citizens, NGOs, women activists, trade-union leaders etc. will invite closer rapport of police with the public. The community policing and people friendly policing when applied from the perspective of public policy would certainly factor a paradigm shift the way policing is done. This is what Shri Satyajit Mohanty, IPS, in his paper “AMA Police” – the Community Policing Scheme in Odisha, and Shri K.N. Gupta, in his paper ‘the People’s Friendly Police and Community Policing’ have come to conclusion. Dr. Harjit S. Sohal, in his paper, ‘Human Rights, Police and Ethics: Toward an understanding of Transforming the Police from a ‘Force’ to social service’, urges the all stakeholders of policing to transform the Police from a ‘Force’ to social service. 2 January - March, 2016 The Indian Police Journal And for this visionary goal, ethical policing and respect for human rights are must. Ethics and the Police are not just moral and complementary instruments but in the long term, both are essential behaviour traits strengthening the quality of service and help to win the public confidence and trust. Ethics or values are moral principals which on the time continuum turn into customs, conventions and social practices passing through one generation to another. The public officials, including the police are not immune from their impact and it also encompasses all such changes in their values and duties. Recently, The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 has generated unprecedented debate and discussion in the country. Shri Caesar Roy, in his paper ‘the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 – urgency to Review,’ underlines the need to review it. However, scrapping down the whole act is not the most appropriate solution in present day situation where the whole country is combating the menace of terrorism. What can be effectively done is to make the Act more humane and reasonable in the eyes of the law. Another issue that has presented a challenge before policing is the Free Speech and Freedom of expression. In this respect, Shri Umesh Sharraf, IPS in his paper ‘A Requiem for Free Speech’ vouches for a pragmatic approach towards the free speech and freedom of expression. He maintains that ‘the attack on free speech are less due to the terror threat and more due to a psychological malaise of a pretended victimhood that is spreading and is being eagerly embraced by groups across our society. It reduces our capacity to think and speak straight, whether about art or religious practices or our shortcomings as a nation. This is also because the authorities who are supposed to guarantee our freedoms of speech and expression perfected solicitousness to the growl and bluster of any and every offended group. The general presumption is that the offended are in the right. On the force of this presumption, we have lost our understanding of the basic purpose of free thought and its expression.’ Lately, increasing spate of young people indulging in anti-social acts has presented a veritable challenge for policing. The paper ‘Pragmatic Approach Towards Youths in 21st Century’ by Amit Gopal Thakre, discusses the growing criminality among young. The awareness of law, police responsibility, complaining to Police and consequences of deviance should be discussed in healthy manner during school time, community meetings and active parental involvements. The process to understanding the integrity of all individuals and respecting law is not one night journey but a steady process towards law- abiding virtues. The present issue of The Indian Police Journal has tried to dig deeper in understanding the broader framework of people, society and policing. It has also tried to suggest ways and mechanism that the law enforcer would require to meet the challenges of the future in establishing an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity encompassing the tenets of Rule of Law. Jai Hind! (Gopal K.N. Chowdhary) Editor January - March, 2016 3 Transforming Police into Smart Police Rajeev Tandon*, IPS Keywords Smart, Police, Change, Transform. Abstract Most of us argue that the performance of police has not been up to the public expectations after Independence and continues to be a object of public distrust, fear and condemnations. Increasing population, rapid urbanisation, uneven socio economic distribution, terrorism, enactment of new economic and social laws, etc. have added new dimensions to police functioning. Hence there is a need to transform Police into SMART Police which can be accepted by the society. Introduction uring the British rule police force was organized to control the people who opposed the foreign rule. DNaturally the police force was tyrannous. The role and responsibilities of police were codified in the Indian Police Act, 1861 which continues to govern policing to an extent even till this date. However, after Independence the role of police was transformed to maintain public order, prevent and investigate crime as a service to society. It is interesting to note that roles and responsibilities of Police Author Intro: * ADG, SCRB, Bhopal, M.P. 4 January - March, 2016 The Indian Police Journal has not yet been defined clearly. There is no such area where Police is not expected to be first responder. May it be a crime, law and order, unnatural death, any agitation, any procession, traffic control etc. All residuary duties fall on the police. Most of us argue that the performance of police has not been up to the public expectations after Independence and continues to be a object of public distrust, fear and condemnations. Increasing population, rapid urbanisation, uneven socio economic distribution, terrorism, enactment of new economic and social laws, etc. have added new dimensions to police functioning. Hence there is a need to transform Police into SMART Police which can be accepted by the society. Change in Legal framework Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement in Shri Parkash Singh’s case has led to major changes in legal framework by which Police is governed. But their recommendations are yet to be implemented in full spirit. Many of the states have framed new Police Act but they are broadly modelled on the 1861 Act only with some modifications.

  • Seeking Offense: Censorship and the Constitution of Democratic Politics in India
    SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ameya Shivdas Balsekar August 2009 © 2009 Ameya Shivdas Balsekar SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA Ameya Shivdas Balsekar, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 Commentators have frequently suggested that India is going through an “age of intolerance” as writers, artists, filmmakers, scholars and journalists among others have been targeted by institutions of the state as well as political parties and interest groups for hurting the sentiments of some section of Indian society. However, this age of intolerance has coincided with a period that has also been characterized by the “deepening” of Indian democracy, as previously subordinated groups have begun to participate more actively and substantively in democratic politics. This project is an attempt to understand the reasons for the persistence of illiberalism in Indian politics, particularly as manifest in censorship practices. It argues that one of the reasons why censorship has persisted in India is that having the “right to censor” has come be established in the Indian constitutional order’s negotiation of multiculturalism as a symbol of a cultural group’s substantive political empowerment. This feature of the Indian constitutional order has made the strategy of “seeking offense” readily available to India’s politicians, who understand it to be an efficacious way to discredit their competitors’ claims of group representativeness within the context of democratic identity politics.

Long before Nizami, the legend circulated in anecdotal forms in Iranian akhbar. The early anecdotes and oral reports about Majnun are documented in Kitab al-Aghani and Ibn Qutaybah's al-Shi'r wal-Shu'ara'. The anecdotes are mostly very short, only loosely connected, and show little or no plot development. Nizami collected both secular and mystical sources about Majnun and portrayed a vivid picture of the famous lovers.[9] Subsequently, many other Persian poets imitated him and wrote their own versions of the romance.[9] Nizami drew influence from Udhrite love poetry, which is characterized by erotic abandon and attraction A miniature of Nizami's work.

  • The State of Human Rights in Ten Asian Nations
    The State of Human Rights in Ten Asian Nations - 2011 Asian Nations Ten of Human Rights in State The The State of Human Rights he State of Human Rights in Ten Asian Nations in Ten Asian Nations - 2011 T - 2011 is the Asian Human Rights Commission’s (AHRC) annual report, comprising information and analysis on the human rights violations and situations it encountered through its work in 2011. The report includes in-depth assessments of the situations in Bangladesh, Burma, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The AHRC works on individual human rights cases in each of these countries and assists victims in their attempts to seek redress through their domestic legal systems, despite the difficulties encountered in each context. Through this work, the organisation gains detailed practical knowledge of the obstacles and systemic lacuna that prevent the effective protection of rights and enable impunity for the perpetrators of violations. Based on this, the organisation then makes recommendations concerning needed reforms to the legal frameworks and state institutions in each setting. This work aims to enable the realisation of rights in a region that remains blighted by crippled institutions of the rule of law, which are enabling systemic impunity for the gamut of grave human rights violations, including torture, forced disappearances, extra-judicial killings, attacks on and discrimination against minorities, women and human rights defenders, as well as widespread violations of a range of other

  • Political Context in 2009, Poverty Remained a Reality for Millions of People in India, As UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms
    INDIA observatory for the protection of human rights defenders ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Political context In 2009, poverty remained a reality for millions of people in India, as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms. Navanethem Pillay emphasized on the occasion of her visit to India in March 2009. Indeed, benefits and dividends of the economic liberalisation1 and rapid economic growth were not always shared equally . In particular, the poorest and most marginalised groups, primarily the Dalits and Adivasis, continued to face discrimination despite the illegality of the caste system and to live in deep poverty. Landless farmers and Adivasis were also subjected to forced evictions in several States due to industrial and other business projects. In addition, widespread asymmetries in power and wealth were “com- pounded by the persistence of gaps in the implementation of higher courts’ decisions […] and of national laws and policies that promote and protect human rights and seek to2 support the most vulnerable”, as underlined by the High Commissioner . Indeed, human rights violations continued to be rampant in 2009, while impunity for those abuses remained widespread, especially as Section 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in areas affected by armed uprising3 still provided protection from prosecution to the police and security forces . Moreover, the Government amended the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of 1967 in December 2008, which, inter alia, extends the detention without bail period from 90 to 180 days and police custody from 15 to 30 days, 1 / See Statement by Ms. Navanethem Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), March 23, 2009.

  • The Gwangju Prize for Human Rights 2017
    The Gwangju Prize for Human Rights 2017 The Gwangju Prize for Human Rights 2017 Every year since 2000, the May 18 Memorial Foundation (Gwangju, Republic of Korea) has announced its annual “Call for nominations for the Gwangju Prize for Human Rights”. This Prize promotes the spirit of the May 18 Democratization Movement in which the people of Gwangju resisted the brutal military forces for the sake of Democracy and Human Rights in 1980. Historically, the May 18 Democratization Movement brought democracy to Korea. The May 18 Memorial Foundation was founded in 1994 with the aim of spreading and commemorating the democratic spirit shown by the people of Gwangju and of restoring the meaning of the May 18 Democratization Movement through fact finding. Even though Gwangju was isolated by the military junta at the time many overseas countries supported the City and wanted to see the restoration of justice and human rights. Therefore, through this prize the May 18 Memorial Foundation would like to share and empathize with people in similar situations as the people of Gwangju faced in 1980. The prize goes to one individual or an organization that has struggled for or contributed to the improvement and advancement of human rights, democracy and peace in their community and country. Nominations will be collected from December 19, 2016 to February 28, 2017. Preliminary and final reviews of nominees will take place March to April. The winner of the Gwangju Prize for Human Rights will be announced on the first week of April. The official prize ceremony will be held at the May 18 Memorial Culture Center, Gwangju, on May 18, 2017.
