People's Union for Democratic Rights Pudr

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Communal riots have become an annual feature of Indian life, although their number varies from year to year. A situation has come to pacs where maddening communal violence, arbitrary actions of executive authorities, large-scale killing of people in police firings, the mysterious disappearance of militant youths and the continued imprisonment of large number of undertrials no longer affect the conscience of the public. All these are an ominous indication of the dangers lying ahead the country as it goes to the polls. Can we remain helpless spectators to the rapid disappearance of all democratic rights and end up by being passive victims of a ruthless tyranny?
