 Smoldering
Embers
Long
and Unending wait for Justice for the Disappeared in Panjab
The
continuing struggle for justice for the disappeared in Panjab has

Smoldering Embers is an attempt to search for answers and to be
courageous to speak out –to get to the truth and expose it.

disappeared from districts other than Amritsar. The enormity of the
truth can be assessed from the voluminously large numbers of the
"disappeared" that the data reveals.

Human
Rights and Social Democracy
-Braj
Ranjan Mani
The
image of
India is that of a democratic, multicultural, inclusive society. But
more often than not, appearances are not reality. India is a
republic—a secular, socialist, democratic republic—where millions of
children, women and men remain demoralised, enslaved to the
powerful, crying out for fundamentals of life.
Fragmented along
fault-lines of caste, class, gender, ethnicity, region and religion,
each marginalised group is characterised as a “minority”, but
together they form an overwhelming...more |
