An Open Statement on the Flawed Investigation Into the Delhi Riots, February 2020 STATEMENTS Campaign An Open Statement on the Flawed Investigation into the Delhi Riots, February 2020 September 10, 2020 THE FORUM FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND DEMOCRATIC FREEDOMS Image courtesy: Newsclick The Forum for Constitutional Rights and Democratic Freedoms (FCRDF) was constituted in August, 2020, after discussion among its Principal Members, comprising both individuals and organizations, all representing dierent constituencies. All were concerned with the erosion of constitutional rights and democratic freedoms in the last few years and came together on a common platform to stem the tide. The groups represented are a) several Armed Forces Veterans; b) the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) representing people’s organizations of the poor and disadvantaged; c) the Constitutional Conduct Group (CCG), made up of former civil servants; d)civil society organisations and concerned citizens; e) the Indian Cultural Forum, deeply involved with cultural issues. This is our rst statement on behalf of the FCRDF. We write to express our full support, in principle, for the statement ‘We will not be silenced’ made by Harsh Mander on September 4, 2020. We agree with him that the communal riots in Delhi in February 2020 have not been caused by any conspiracy as alleged by the Delhi Police. On the contrary, they have been caused by hate speech and provocative statements made by a number of political leaders of the ruling party. We stand with Harsh Mander, him, Professor Apoorvanand and their fellow activists. Neither their voices nor ours will be silenced as we speak for truth and freedom. The ringing words of Harsh Mander’s statement, especially those of the last paragraph, bear repetition and have our endorsement: “We declare here – and hope those holding highest oce in the country hear us loud and clear – that the government will never succeed in silencing us, and will never succeed in taking away from us the dream we inherited from our freedom struggle, the dream of together building a country which is just, and equal, and kind.” Admiral (retd.) L. Ramdas, former Chief of Naval Sta Aruna Roy, MazdoorKisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) Deb Mukharji, IFS (Retd.), former High Commissioner to Bangladesh, CCG Dr. Ganesh Devy, civil society organizations and concerned citizens Githa Hariharan, writer, Indian Cultural Forum ************************************************************ “We will not be silenced” The Delhi Police believes that there was a conspiracy behind the communal violence in Delhi during the third week of February. We agree. But the actual conspiracy was a very dierent one from the one which Delhi Police is propagating. The truth is that not just the Delhi 2020 carnage; no major episode of communal violence is spontaneous: it is always planned, organized and facilitated. Such violence requires rst the systematic creation of hatred. In Delhi we saw the build-up during the Delhi elections of a climate of hatred spawned by hate speech by senior leaders targeting the protestors against CAA NRC NPR. This was led from the front by the union home minister, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and several other cabinet and BJP party leaders. The outcome was the spread of unprecedented levels of toxic communal venom, unmatched in any previous election in Delhi. But beyond the manufacture of hatred and the organization of the violence, the critical factor in any riot conspiracy is the role of the state, and particularly the police. No riot can go on for more than a few hours except if the government wishes for it to do so. There is massive evidence of the complicit partisan role of the police in the Delhi violence. I have spent a lot of time with the victim survivors of the Delhi carnage. I have heard hundreds of testimonies from them about the role of the police enabling, encouraging and actually indulging in hate violence. The video of policemen tormenting four young men lying on the ground, among who Faizan subsequently died, is telling. The police while beating the men prone on the ground are taunting them by asking them to sing the national anthem; it was clear that they are punishing them for the protests, in which the national anthem had become an iconic symbol of the protests, of resistance, of unity and of solidarity. This was the conspiracy behind the Delhi communal violence. It was a bid by the Indian state, aided by the Delhi police, to punish and crush the largest non-violent protests that independent India has seen. The police story is quite the opposite. According to them, it was the anti-CAA-NRC-NPR protests which were the conspiracy, and that the non-violence of the protests was only a facade. In pursuit of this story, every day the Special Branch of the Delhi Police, which normally investigates grave crimes like terror, is busy for the past months summoning mostly young people, and sometimes seniors, grilling them, intimidating them, and sometimes – as Umar Khalid has testied – forcing them create false evidence. Large numbers of young people are today languishing in prison for months without bail in the name of this so-called conspiracy. We are gathered here today above all in the defence and solidarity with all of these young people. Yes, they and we did participate in the non-violent movement against CAA NRC NPR, and we are proud to have done so. During the protests some WhatsApp groups were made. Now every word exchanged in these groups are being examined with a defective microscope by the police, their meaning and context deliberately and mischievously misinterpreted, the truth ripped into shreds and reimagined to create the mythology of a conspiracy of hate, violence and insurrection. There were signicantly other WhatsApp groups that the police themselves admit to, wherein indeed people are actively calling for and organizing the violence on those dates. None of these are being the subject to any investigation of a conspiracy. Our protests, and those of the young people now in our prisons, were to uphold the Constitution, and the idea of an inclusive and humane country of equal citizenship, which is the proudest legacy of our freedom struggle. The young people and we protested because we love our country dearly, and we seek to make this country better for all its citizens, of every religion, caste, class and gender, by holding the state accountable to stand by its duties to the constitution. It is a travesty to describe this as a crime against the nation. Those who are seeking to create divisions and hate among us are those who are committing crimes against our country. The objective of the government is transparent; to destroy the basic guarantees and freedoms of our constitution. The eort of the Indian state, facilitated by the Delhi Police, is to crush our voices, our dissent, and our struggles to uphold our constitution. We declare here – and hope those holding highest oce in the country hear us loud and clear – that the government will never succeed in silencing us, and will never succeed in taking away from us the dream we inherited from our freedom struggle, the dream of together building a country which is just, and equal, and kind .

  • 'The University Will Be the Battleground for Freedom': Solidarity and Diaspora Organising in London
    SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY AND CULTURE, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19472498.2016.1168103 ‘The University will be the battleground for freedom’: solidarity and diaspora organising in London Rohit K Dasgupta Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, Winchester, UK The recent stand-off between the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University and the government of India is unlike any of the more recent campus-based protests and student agitation movements that have been taking place around the country.1 Much of the media coverage has centred around the arrest of the JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar on 12 February 2016 followed by the arrests of Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya. All three arrests were made on the ground of anti-national sloganeering that took place during the death anniversary of Afzal Guru, who was accused of the 2001 parliamentary attack. Guru’sexecutionledtoprotestsanddisputeamongstactivists as well as parliamentarians and there still remains much debate about the lack of judicial procedures that led to his hanging. The crackdown on these three students followed closely on the heel of Rohith Vemula, a Dalit student who committed suicide at the University of Hyderabad on 17 January 2016. In Vemula’s case, he was protesting against the caste discrimination and loss of scholarship that resulted from his protest activities. Both cases have led to reignited debate on freedom of speech and the relevance of the sedition law, a colonial remnant that was used by the British to silence nationalists and anti- colonial activists. Ironically Section 124a (The Sedition Act) which was struck off by the British Government in the UK in 2009 remains in India in the same way as another colonial construct, Section 377 (another colonial remnant), which criminalises homosexuality.

  • Over 300 Academicians, Activists, Artists and Writers Condemn the State Violence and Unlawful Detention of Facul
    Over 300 academicians, activists, artists and writers condemn the state violence and unlawful detention of faculty and student protesters of the University of Hyderabad We, academicians, activists, artists and writers, condemn the ongoing brutal attacks on and unlawful detention of peacefully protesting faculty and students at the University of Hyderabad by the University administration and the police. We also condemn the restriction of access to basic necessities such as water and food on campus. The students and faculty members of the University of Hyderabad were protesting the reinstatement of Dr. Appa Rao Podile as the Vice­Chancellor despite the ongoing judicial enquiry against him related to the circumstances leading to the death of the dalit student th Rohith Vemula on January 17 ,​ 2016. Students and faculty members of the university ​ ​ community are concerned that this may provide him the opportunity to tamper with evidence and to influence witnesses. Suicides by dalit students have been recurring in the University of Hyderabad and other campuses across the country. The issue spiraled into a nationwide students’ protest with the death of the dalit scholar Rohith Vemula. The protests have pushed into the foreground public discussion and debate on the persistence of caste­based discrimination in educational institutions, and surveillance and suppression of dissent and intellectual debate in university spaces. Since the morning of March 22 when Dr. Appa Rao returned to campus, the students and staff have been in a siege­like situation. The peacefully protesting staff and students were brutally lathi­charged by the police, and 27 people were taken into custody.
