After graduating from Delhi University, he joined the Indian Navy. He was commissioned in January 1981 and took premature retirement in 1993 as a Lieutenant Commander. He recently produced a film, Nanak Shah Fakir, which won acclaim at the international film festivals in Cannes, Toronto and Los Angeles. The film won three national awards, including the Nargis Dutt Award for best feature film on national integration. Calling Sehmat is his second book. It is being made into a film, Raazi, by Meghna Gulzar, scheduled for release in May 2018. Sikka lives in New Delhi with his family. Prologue In the semi-darkness of dawn the muezzin called out, ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar . .’ His passionate, full-throated appeal to the Almighty broke the stillness of the new day and slowly Maler Kotla began to stir. As if on cue, the sun gasped through the horizon, flushing the rapidly brightening sky with redness. Yet another day crept into the lives of its residents. Except for one. Standing tall and in full glory, the white marble haveli surrounded by lush green lawns had lost its main occupant in the wee hours. For the villagers, especially the women, it was not a mere structure of stone but a symbol of peace, a shrine which they could visit any time and be heard.

S. Tara and Madhvi Gupta Department of Zoology, University of Jammu Jammu-180,006, India *Corresponding author: Anu Bala Abstract The present article incorporates detailed field observations of family Pieridae in Jammu region at different altitudes during spring, summer and autumn seasons of 2012-2013.

  • 1 Submissions to the Task Force Constituted To
    1 SUBMISSIONS TO THE TASK FORCE CONSTITUTED TO EXAMINE MATTERS PERTAINING TO AGE OF MOTHERHOOD AMONG OTHER CONCERNS NATIONAL COALITION ADVOCATING FOR ADOLESCENT CONCERNS 9th JULY 2020 We are a coalition of 21 organisations from across the country, working with children and adolescents on empowerment, education, life skills, health, sexual and reproductive health information and services, child marriage, gender based violence, sexual abuse and restorative justice, in urban, rural and tribal contexts.1 This submission draws upon our collective learnings – through provision of direct services, community-based intervention and research related to concerns that impact the lives of girls through adolescence and young adulthood - to support the Task Force in their reflections on underage marriage, and its intersections with maternal health outcomes, education and the law. At the outset, we draw attention to the national data which shows a decline in child marriage in the last decade (from 46% to 27% for women, and 29% to 20% for men) and an increase in the median age of marriage (from 17.2 years to 19 years for women, and from 22.6 to 24.5 years for men).2 Given a gradual but sustained increase in age at marriage, we question the need for increasing legal age at marriage for girls, or declaring underage marriages void – which will artificially expand the numbers of married persons deemed ‘underage’ and criminalise them, and render underage married girls without legal protection. We caution against an increase in legal age at marriage from 18 to 21 years for girls for the reasons detailed below. Instead, transformative, well-resourced measures that increase girls’ access to education and health, create enabling opportunities and place girls’ empowerment at the centre will not just delay marriage, but lead to long term, positive health and educational outcomes.

  • Interventions on Child Labour in South Asia
    Helpdesk Report Interventions on Child Labour in South Asia Pearl Boateng Education Development Trust 16 May 2017 Question What are the key interventions on child labour and what organisations are carrying them out? Have rigorous research and/or impact evaluations been carried out? Contents 1. Overview 2. Advocacy and Programming 3. Programmatic Interventions & Technical Assistance 4. Impact Evaluations and Research 5. References 1. Overview This Help Desk Report highlights the key interventions on child labour in South Asia at a local, national, regional, and international level. The three principal international conventions on child labour (Minimum Age to Employment Convention, 1973 (No. 138), Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989, together set the legal parameters for child labour and provide the legal foundations for national and international action against it. Whilst advocacy efforts are the predominant type of intervention, it is difficult to attribute the successes in ratifying conventions and implementing legislative policies and powers to any one organisation or campaign. Notwithstanding, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) continues to lead in this area due to their global presence, funding and partnerships internationally, regionally and nationally. A number of other actors including a number of regional level strategic policy and technical alliances also engage in programmatic support and technical The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned. Helpdesk reports are not rigorous or systematic reviews; they are intended to provide an introduction to the most important evidence related to a research question.

  • National Coalition for Advocating Adolescent Concerns
    NATIONAL COALITION FOR ADVOCATING ADOLESCENT CONCERNS SUBMISSIONS TO THE MWCD: IN THE CONTEXT OF EARLY MARRIAGE AND AGE OF CONSENT We are a coalition of 19 organisations from across the country, that work with adolescents from the standpoint of law, sexual abuse and restorative justice, collectivisation and empowerment, public health, sexual and reproductive health information and services, as well as education and life skills – in urban, rural and tribal contexts.1 Given our collective experience with adolescents from marginalised populations, community work, research, policy engagement, we present our learnings in relation to harmful impact of laws, and potential harm of laws in relation to child marriage and child sexual offences. As a cross-sectoral coalition addressing adolescent concerns, we present evidence in relation to the unintended and harmful impact of child protection laws as they pertain to adolescents. It is learnt that the Ministry of Women and Child Development is proposing to amend the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (PCMA). While the full scope of the proposed amendments remains unknown, media reports suggest that child marriage is sought to be made void ab initio, with increased punishments for solemnising such marriages. We urge the MWCD to organise consultations with stakeholders working with adolescent girls and children, and consider evidence on adolescent realities in formulating policy. We urge the MWCD to address the complex realities of abuse, vulnerability, evolving capacities and developmental needs of adolescents– intersectionally and with sensitivity, rather than separately and punitively. Accordingly, these submissions speak to intersecting concerns relating to the PCMA and the POCSO. 1 National Coalition for Advocating Adolescent Concerns held its inception meeting on 12th December 2019, followed by the first public meeting on 13th December 2019.
