  • Babri Masjid Verdict
    Babri Masjid Verdict Why in news? The Supreme Court said that none of the 32 surviving accused of the Babri Masjid demolition case was found guilty. What is the story behind? The mosque was brought down in 1992 to build a Ram temple. In 2019, the Supreme Court handed over the empty site to those who wanted the mosque brought down. However, it recognised the demolition as an egregious violation of the rule of law. This gave rise to hope that the ends of justice would be served by the punishment of those who mobilised the vandals. But now, the SC said that none of the accused was found guilty. What did the trial court find? The trial court has given judicial legitimation to the ‘Ram Janmabhoomi movement’ by acquitting all those indicted for conspiracy to bring down the structure. The court found that the demolition was not planned in advance. This finding flies in the face of the entry of several volunteers into Ayodhya that day armed with implements to bring down the structure. The movement was headed by L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti among others. The proponents of the movement had positioned themselves in vantage points to witness the occasion and celebrated with pride. What were the evidences? In this case, there were sufficient evidence about the political mobilisation and the purported intent to assemble on that day. The court had with it evidence that there was studied inaction from the State, whose Chief Minister (CM) was one of the accused. The court had with it evidence that the unambiguous and open threats to the structure voiced by many of the movement’s protagonists.

Michael Mann 2. Dietrich Reetz Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20. Juli 2015 Abstract Among the eldest of its kind in Asia, the Communist Party of India (CPI) pioneered the spread of Marxist politics beyond the European arena. Influenced by both Soviet revolutionary practice and radical nationalism in British India, it operated under conditions not provided for in Marxist theory—foremost the prominence of religion and community in social and political life. The thesis analyzes, first, the theoretical and organizational ‘overhead’ of the CPI in terms of the position of religion in a party communist hierarchy of emancipation. It will therefore question the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the one hand, and Comintern doctrines on the other. Secondly, it scrutinizes the approaches and strategies of the CPI and individual members, often biographically biased, to come to grips with the subcontinental environment under the primacy of mass politics. Thirdly, I discuss communist vistas on revolution on concrete instances including (but not limited to) the Gandhian non-cooperation movement, the Moplah rebellion, the subcontinental proletariat, the problem of communalism, and assertion of minority identities. I argue that the CPI established a pattern of vacillation between qualified rejection and conditional appropriation of religion that loosely constituted two diverging revolutionary paradigms characterizing communist practice from the Soviet outset: Western and Eastern.
