Editorial Letter

In 2012, the Department of Political Science (Avaam) wanted to revive the culture of a

magazine and provide a platform for the ideas of the enthusiastic students. Thus began

our journey of publishing the annual departmental magazine Awaaz. We are pleased to

present before you the third issue of the magazine on the theme “Right to Life”.

No society can call itself fully emancipated and civilized unless it learns to value

and respect each individual life. Right to life is not limited to rejection of death penalty

alone. It is a much wider concept to incorporate a holistic understanding of the dignified

human life. A right to privacy, consumable food and water and access to clean

environment are important components of the larger concept of the right to life. In an

increasingly connected and unequal world, this is one right that deserves to be taken

seriously. In this year’s issue of Awaaz, we have made a humble attempt to record

students’ voices in this regard.

Our aim is not just to come out with a magazine every year but to enculcate the

habit of writing and to generate awareness about current affairs and bringing out

different perspectives about them. We value and appreciate the participation by the

students who sent us various articles and illustrations.

As students of the Political Science department and memebers of the editorial

board we would like to thank our respected principal Dr. R. Prabhakar Rao, for giving

us this platform to voice our opinions and for his tremendous support, and also a typist

Ms. Farha Naaz. We would like to thank all the members of the faculty of Political

Science department for their qualitative input and unending support throughout.

Last but not the least, a big thank you from the editorial team to the student union

of the department consisting of president: Vineet Mishra, general secretary: Vikas

Pandey, joint secretary: Md. Shaquib Azad. If it wasn’t for them, the magazine

wouldn’t have materialized. Thank you all for putting in unaccounted time and effort.

Your unselfish contribution to the department is highly commendable and is

appreciated.

The readers are the greatest source of input to the “AWAAZ” annual magazine.

Many of our improvements are a result of requests by the readers, and we value your

feedback. The magazine continues to evolve, and your participation is welcome. If you

have any idea for the magazine or would like to participate in some way, please feel

free to contact us in the future projects.

An Unborn Child

I am smaller than your fingernail

But I am feeling your mind

you’re not ready to leave your part behind

You’re nervous, I can tell

Because your heart racer above me

And now your mind begins to tell

How could this happen?

You punish yourself

“God mist no longer want me, he’ll send me to hell”

I wish I could scream out

And first make you here

That God has a reason for putting me here

If you’ll give me a chance

I’ll make you proud, I swear

In another few weeks I’ll begin to grow hair

What about other babies that you never knew?

May be you’d be amazed

By what they could do

They could’ve cured cancer

Or perhaps, first may be

They would’ve made a law to save babies like me

“Don’t worry honey” says an unfeminiar lady

“No reason to stress,

It’s barely a baby”

But I have a life, and it’s mine

Since when is a life

So developed a heartbeat

I’m considered alive

Are you still willing to take away this life of mine


You’re fighting for the right to privacy

But, see you have a voice

So who’s speaking for me?

You’re a woman with rights

No one can take that away

But yet i’m so small, yet don’t I get a say?

Everyone has equal rights

So what I don’t understand

Why is my right to life in another man’s hands?

The weeks drag on, and I continually fear

That you’ll no longer want me

And I’ll be taken out of here

Now something feel’s strange

Like I’m being grabbed out

I’m positive this is it, absolutely no doubt

A light appears, and I’m full of fright

But “”Congratulations!” they scream

As I breathe my first breathe of life

So, yes, I am tiny

And yet I have been saved

Because somebody loved me

WHOSE RIGHT TO LIFE?

What is life? Well, the more appropriate question would be who has the

right to live. Is it only us the Homo sapiens that deserve a life of ease, comfort,

dignity and well being or the concept of life can be extended to the other ‘lesser’

organisms? Like for example a stray dog or a cat or a cow or a tiger for that matter.

Do they also own this planet like we humans do? Let us ponder on this matter

further.

Our species, i.e. the Homo sapiens have, for what seems to be an eternity,

ruled this planet. We have altered and crafted this planet as we wished. We’ve

killed for land and we’ve been killed for land. We’ve killed for love and we’ve

been killed for love. And we’ve also killed for fun. I would like to emphasize and

re emphasize the last line. Do we have any idea about the sheer magnitude of the

number of animals that have become extinct due to our love for killing? The

answer is No we don’t have the slightest of idea about how many innocent species

we’ve lost. To put things in perspective let me give you an idea of how many we

are losing each year. We’re losing 0.01-0.1 percent of the total number of species

we have on earth each passing year. Though the number seems insignificant at

first glance but let me warn you that it is everything but that. According to

estimates by the WWF we’re losing between 10,000-1,00,000 species each year.

Isn’t it tremendous? And the root cause of all this loss is just one species. The all

knowing Homo sapiens is the culprit.

Now the perennial optimist will like to argue that we humans are innocent

of the murder of innumerable species. But let us not kid ourselves. Maybe our

ignorance or our pride comes in the way of us realizing what we are doing to this

planet. This is not our planet where ‘our’ stands only for the human race but it is

our planet in the sense that it belongs to each and every life that exists on Earth

and one ignorant and proud species has no right to turn it into a living hell for all

other species.

What we see all around us is complete hypocrisy. When we hear news of

rhinos and tigers and elephants being killed by poachers we see everyone

complaining about how inhuman the poachers are being or how we are going to


lose another species. But it will not take long for us to see that same person who

was complaining being unkind to a dog or a cat that is starving. I do not know if

there is an omnipresent hierarchy with which we need to classify different animals

but according to me all animals are the same including us. EVS i.e. Environmental

Science has become a compulsory paper in almost all Universities of India. But

is learning about the environment through pen and paper enough for us to save

the environment? Is mugging up the course and scoring good marks in the paper

an end to all environmental problems that we have? The answer is a big NO.

So, what is the solution to all these problems? Is it the Climate Change

Summit in Paris an end to all environmental woes? Do all the global leaders going

to the summit in their chartered planes and chauffeured cars, conferencing in air

conditioned rooms and coming out with an agreement on paper an end to

environmental problems? Again the answer is an ironic no.

What we need is ground work. We need people to start realizing that it is

not only about us. And it is not only about our survival. It is about the survival of

this planet and all the millions and millions of different lives that inhabit this blue

planet. We need people to be sensitive towards other forms of life. We need to be

kind to a dog and even a rat if they pose us no harm. Each one of us needs to

contribute. And what we need more than anything else is an end to the hypocrisy

of the Homo sapiens.

I’m not suggesting that we go back to the prehistoric era where humans

were just another species on the face of earth but what I’m saying is that it is time

we start to respect other life. I know, this is plenty to ask from the ever selfish

human race but in this conundrum what we have not realized till date is that we

are scripting our own downfall. By killing all the flora and fauna around us we

are on the path of becoming extinct ourselves.

We all have a right to live. So does every other species on this earth. Let us not

blow our own trumpet. And as the saying goes, “It is not over till the fat lady

sings”. We’ve still time to make amends. But our actions must be drastic and

swift.

DEATH FOR DEATH?

"An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind"

- Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi lucidly argues us to pursue the way of illumination in

terms of morality. Here, he tries to convey us the need to embrace higher moral

principles. In these days, serious debates are taking place around the word 'capital

punishment'. The word "capital" originated from the Latin word 'capitalis' means

literally "regarding the head" (refering to execution by beheading). Latin being

an ancient language, the presence of such a word in Latin vocabulary implies that

there was a practice affiliated with it. It indicates, words like 'Capital punishment',

'death penalty', 'executions', etc. have been in use for a long time. Anthropological

studies prove this point.

Capital punishment is sentenced for people who have done capital crimes.

Capital crimes are different to nations, religions, culture etc. The fact that we are

practicing execution is a shame on whole of humanity. Through this acts, we are

going back to the old Hammurabi code of Justice. If we are executing someone,

with him we are hanging his natural and human rights. Here, we are digging the

grave for humaneness. Currently 103 countries, especially western countries

accept the USA abolished it the jure for all crimes. But 36 countries are still

actively practicing this old barbaric penalty.


Scientific studies have consistently failed to demonstrate that executions

deter people from committing crime. In accordance with the retributive justice,

our first instinct may be to inflict badly on someone who wrongs us, but a matured

society demands a more measured response. Our laws and criminal justice system

should lead us to higher principles that declare a complete respect for life, even

the life of a criminal.

Most capital crimes are committed during the moments of great emotional

impulse. In the case of planned crimes, even though people are well acquainted

with the legal penalties, heinous offences are happening. It is impossible to say

that severity of any punishment could prevent a crime. If severe punishment can

deter crime, then long-term imprisonment is severe enough to deter any rational

person from committing a crime.

Some people argue for the allowance of death penalty for terrorism. In this

regard Alan Dershowitz wrote in The Guardian, "when imposing death sentence

on someone, would turn him into a martyr. His face would appear on posters for

terrorist recruitment. Those seeking paradise through martyrdom would see him

as a role model". Teaching people to respond to violence with violence will only

breed more violence.

In 2012, some retired judges wrote a letter to President, pointing out that

the Supreme Court had erroneously given the death penalty to 15 people since

1996 of whom two were hanged. In US, a recent study by Colombia University

Law School found that for every seven people executed one man is innocent.

These kind of human errors lead to miscarriage of justice through the wrongful

execution of innocent people.

There are socio-economic and political elements playing in the field of

Jurisprudence. In practice, the death penalty doesn't single out worst offenders.

Rather, it selects an arbitrary group based on such irrational factors as the quality

of defense council, the country in which the crime was committed, or the class,

race, caste, religion etc of the defendant.

Racial bases in judgments are a naked truth. Most debated one is

McCleskey vs. Kemp (478-U.S-1019(1987)) case, in which though McCleskey's

arguments were true his arguments were nullified. His arguments were,

"murderers of whites are four times more likely to be sentenced to death than


murderers of black". Harper Lee's classic novel "To kill a mockingbird" is a

depiction of racial biases in the Judicial process.

Also a major chunk of our population does not have access to our legal

system due to illiteracy and poverty. In the sense, almost all defendants facing the

penalty cannot afford their own attorney. A poorly represented defendant is much

more likely to be convicted and given a death sentence. We can see mainstream

mindset through other cultural medias, especially in the renowned movie "12

Angry Men" there is a dialogue, "slums are the breeding grounds of criminals".

There is even a saying, "capital punishment means without the capital get the

punishment".

The imposition of death is not free from any political motivations. Our past

experiences are witness for that. The decision is bound to be influenced by

political calculations and hyped public opinion. Revenge is not the answer for

anything, but prudence is the real solution. What time needs is the complete

abolition of capital punishment and development of a suitable penological system

for rehabilitating hardened criminals and ensuring that they can be reintegrated

into society as responsible citizens. To conclude, as Talmud says, "whoever

destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever

saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world".

RIGHT TO LIFE

There are varied interpretations of truth,

A hundred meanings to what's written on the legal paper.

They say all citizens have the 'right to life',

But does everyone actually have the right to live?

I, a 'Dalit' from a small village, I went to the temple the other day,

Kicked out like an outcast, put at bay.

I

Called me *Untouchable*, but what was my fault?

Being born a schedule cast?

I have

I, a woman from an educated family, I study law I'll tell,

My brothers are out all night, but no one puts a frown.

And I had meeting till late that night, and when I rang the house bell,

Mother came screaming about how I instead should've drowned.

I, a man from a Muslim family, I fell in love that day,

I told my lady to marry me, to forever with me stay.

She's a Hindu and I thought it didn't matter enough,

How wrong I was I knew when they lynched us, love was that tough.

We can't choose the subject of our choice, not the love, not the clothes,

But we have the right to life,

To live for them, not thyself.

That's how it goes

Ujjwala



RIGHT TO LIFE VIOLATION

A SURVE CONDUCTED BY ACHR

(Asian Centre for Human Rights)

In the last ten years from 2004-2005 to 2013-2014 as per

official records the right to life of atleast 130407 or 1086 person per

month were violated either by state agencies or caused by the failure

of the state agencies to fulfill their responsibilities to prevent

violation.

The majority of the victims are women (80947) followed by

victims of custodial deaths (16465) encounter death (10900) deaths

in police firing (2527), deaths of 10,219 civilians in militancy /Naxal

related violence, death in cast related violence (18138) and death in

communal violence (1,211).

From 2004-05 to 2013-14 their report counts (16465) case of

custodial death (with 1389 deaths in police custody 15076 death in

judicial custody & 23 cases of death in the custody of the army and

the central paramilitary forces). 10900 deaths in encounters (1654

deaths involving police & 9246 deaths involving the armed forced

& paramilitary forces of which 4005 in Jammu & Kashmir, 3650 in

North East & 1591 in Naxal effected areas) & 2527 deaths in police

firing.

Failure to Protect The Vulnerable:

The state’s failure to safe general the right to life of individual

citizens, particularly those belonging to vulnerable groups, during

the same period also resatled in the death of 80,947 women (79,404

dowry killing & 1,543 killing of those suspected of witchcraft),

10219 civilians in millitancy / naxal related violence 8138 (1646


Working as volunteer Shyam & Sheeba

scheduled tribes & 6492 scheduled castes) in identity –relating

violence; and 1211 persons in communal violence.

The report stated that impurity is the root cause of violators

of right to life. In the lighty unusual situation that an independently

& timer investigation is secures and a charge-sheet filed against

state security force personal, prosecution is virtually impossible to

pesue since section 6 of the Armed force special power Act &

section 197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CRPC) stipulate that

prior permission must be sought from the government.

There are well-known cases in which prosecution has stopped

for want of permission from the government to prosecute the

accused. “Unless impurity is addressed the violations of right to life

cannot be effectively reduced says Suhas Chavarna, Director of

Asian Centre for Human Rights.
