Know : Irom Sharmila – The world’s longest hunger striker

This solitary hunger striker is about to cross 15 years without food!

“Iron Lady of Manipur” – Irom Sharmila (born 14 March 1972) is a civil rights activist, political activist, and poet from the Indian state of Manipur. On 2 November 2000, she began a hunger strike which is still ongoing.

On 2 November 2000, in Malom, a town in the Imphal Valley of Manipur, ten civilians were shot and killed while waiting at a bus stop. The incident, known as the “Malom Massacre”, was allegedly committed by the Assam Rifles, one of the Indian Paramilitary forces operating in the state.The victims included Leisangbam Ibetombi, a 62-year old woman, and 18-year old Sinam Chandramani, a 1988 National Bravery Award winner.

Sharmila, who was 28 at the time, began to fast in protest of the killing, taking neither food nor water. As her brother Irom Singhajit Singh recalled, “It was a Thursday. Sharmila used to fast on Thursdays since she was a child. That day she was fasting too. She has just continued with her fast.”

She has not met her mother since the start of the fast as seeing her mother’s anguish may break her resolve. She said “The day AFSPA is repealed I will eat rice from my mother’s hand.

The Manipur High Court has ordered Rs. 5 lakh compensation for each of the families of 10 people killed by the Assam Rifles in November 2000, in what was later alleged to be a fake encounter. But for the families of those who were killed 14 years ago, compensation is just the first step towards justice.

Three days after she began her strike, she was arrested by the police and charged with an “attempt to commit suicide”, which was unlawful under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at that time, and was later transferred to judicial custody. However, Amnesty International and the World Medical Association both dispute that a hunger strike is equivalent to suicide as hunger strikers “generally hope and intend to survive”. Her health deteriorated rapidly, and nasogastric intubation was forced on her in order to keep her alive while under arrest.

And her hunger strike continues still…

The following documentary by IBN talks about her life and the politics around her.

The sad thing it is 15 years now. Will the Indian government answer her? This is the land of Mahatma Gandhi who remarkably contributed towards the Indian Freedom via non-violence! Will the government consider her request? What is their answer to her?

The Case of Kawasi Himde : Why should we educate our children about her case?

Kawasi Himde is no celebrity or someone from a cosmopolitan city, she is a tribal woman. A few good media tried to cover her news still. Kudos to the ones who are holding the mic behind the screen to bring her story out. The rest of the NEWS media was busy in covering the IPL and Cinema gossips it seems. They may be right, audiences will show interest to watch a Salman Khan case that will help their TRP, which Kawasi cannot do.

She was acquitted after 7 years of imprisonment when a Dantewada (Chhattisgarh, India) court found her not guilty. Our judiciary system took JUST 7 years to find someone is innocent. At the age of 17, in 2008, Kawasi Himde was arrested for “being involved in the killing of 23 policemen”.

How our judiciary system is going to compensate everything she had lost? There are only loopholes but no law for this!

The real story is horrible even in our dreams. Colours of the Cage A blog covered her story exclusively in an attempt to expose the truth and to get her justice.

In January 2008 just after harvest, as in previous years, a fair was organised in Ramram, the nearby village. Kawasi accompanied her aunt and her other cousin sisters to the fair and to buy ribbons and choodis. There she joined a group of other tribals who were dancing and singing. Having danced vigorously, she soon became thirsty and approached the nearby hand-pump for water. But as soon as she held the pump, someone very forcefully grabbed her. She looked up angrily and was shocked to see Police personnel. They had surrounded her and began dragging her by her hair towards their vehicle parked outside the fair. With hands and feet tied, she was thrown on the floor of the truck and driven to the Police station. (click to continue reading) – Written by Sushmita Verma

Why should we educate our children about her case?

If you are reading this, you could be someone who works in a respectable position responsible for keeping the law, you could be an advocate, you could be a student, you could be an activist, you could be just a common civilian.. Whomsoever you are, as a human being we should have some introspection on ourselves as individuals and as a society.

What are we going behind? What are we supporting? How are we spending our time?

Thousands of cases like this are happening in our country which will not come to our attention. But at the end of the day, it is we all who make the society. Our children are going to become the lawyers, policeman, lawmakers, politicians, etc.

It is our responsibility to educate them the reality. So that they will understand everything and at least try to have some humanity and morality tomorrow. If not our generation at least coming generations may seek to live in the righteous way.

Please share this. Keep educating!

Five Thoughts for You : Original Freedom

Click to Enlarge

True freedom is an absolute flexibility to think and act.
The only thing which has limitless freedom is our thoughts, we can think anything free without bounds. Unfortunately we are bounded by physical limitation which is inevitable and perishable with our lifetime. All worldly success can be achieved if the right thinking and right actions falls in place on time. This is freedom on its originality without any man made implications.

But every flexibility is always bounded by a limit of stretch.
Though we have a thought freedom not everything is possible given under the circumstances of political, cultural and social limits. In a particular country/culture you can do something so free but the same cannot be done in another country/culture. We cannot expand our freedom beyond that limit as described by the respective boundaries.

Beyond a point nothing can go flexible and breaks.
So many issues around the globe are because of the attempt to go flexible beyond the set limits. We hear in the news everyday that there are scams, riots, murders and breaking of the law and orders in some way. In every case people try to go beyond a rule which is regarded as a border which must not be crossed. When they break, it leads to conflicts. Only the magnitude varies, from a petty issue in a family or a multinational conflict, the same logic of freedom and limitations applies.

On that breaking point we define the Morality!
How do we define what is right and what is wrong? We define it on every breaking point of the freedom where the flexibility need to be curtailed. We call it as Morality / Ethics. Contrarily not every breaking point in the world is defined based on morality, many are done on individual opinions and biased intentions. This is where things started going wrong in the history! The universal morality is replaced by various individual perspectives, so controversies had begun. People started conflicts based on this.

The freedom is always there, but the flexibility and the breaking point vary!
If we humans lived an indifferent life naturally as just another animal species, we would have had a few good universal morals and we would not split by cultures, religions and so many territories now. We would feel more human than an Asian or an American or an African… But things have gone too far and we travelled a lot in this direction where we walked a long path of becoming a supreme species and civilized living beings. So now we need to balance the cause and the effects in everything we have begun. A holistic perspective can make more sense to us and bring back the humanity, unity and harmony what we are losing.

For instance the usage of Pistols by teenagers in the US is a big issue, the problem is not with the policies or laws to punish the offender, the problem is with the value system of the youngsters who do not know how to value a soul before they fire a bullet. No laws can set a limit to the original freedom what we humans have lost. No laws can contain anyone, because freedom is what we are born with naturally. More the restrictions more we break it.

Enlightenment is needed for everyone, to understand what the real freedom is all about. The real freedom is Constructive to all living beings as well as our inner peace. The real freedom is not one being selfishly gone boundless and do whatever comes in mind and cause damage to others around. The change will take a long time. We have two choices 1. To go the victims of our errors & perish or 2. To put efforts to rectify the errors & thrive.

The 30 Human Rights Laws of the UN – Dec.10th Human Rights Day

THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is generally agreed to be the foundation of international human rights law. Adopted in 1948, the UDHR has inspired a rich body of legally binding international human rights treaties. It continues to be an inspiration to us all whether in addressing injustices, in times of conflicts, in societies suffering repression, and in our efforts towards achieving universal enjoyment of human rights.

It represents the universal recognition that basic rights and fundamental freedoms are inherent to all human beings, inalienable and equally applicable to everyone, and that every one of us is born free and equal in dignity and rights. Whatever our nationality, place of residence, gender, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status, the international community on December 10 1948 made a commitment to upholding dignity and justice for all of us.

How Does International Law Protect Human Rights?

The International human rights law lays down obligations which States are bound to respect. By becoming parties to international treaties, States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfil human rights.  The obligation to respect means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses. The obligation to fulfil means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights.

Through ratification of international human rights treaties, Governments undertake to put into place domestic measures and legislation compatible with their treaty obligations and duties. The domestic legal system, therefore, provides the principal legal protection of human rights guaranteed under international law. Where domestic legal proceedings fail to address human rights abuses, mechanisms and procedures for individual and group complaints are available at the regional and international levels to help ensure that international human rights standards are indeed respected, implemented, and enforced at the local level.
