Peacekeepers or Warlords: AFSPA and Violation of Human Rights in NE India

Violation of human rights of individuals in India is not though a new phenomenon, yet a serious unanswered question has frequently disturbed the mindset of Indians throughout decades particularly in the post colonial periods and that is the uncompromised safeguard of rights of citizens. Armed Force Special Power Act of 1958 has been brutally killed the most significant fundamental right of people, the right to freedom in India in general and North East in particular. The authoritarian measures have crushed the very democratic right of individual in this region. The question is how far excessive militarization through some draconian laws in the name of maintaining peace in the so called disturbed areas of NE would play an instrumental role in keeping peace upto a desired level? A parallel question is also raised as to what extent these biased laws would intervene in the very democratic rights of people from this region which is unfortunately a region of insurgent and separatist groups raising their dissenting voices for their existence in India and the world? This is alarming particularly in NE India as the picture of human rights is very gloomy and its violation in this region particularly in the post AFSPA era. It is the need of the hour for the stakeholders and policy makers and also for the people of this region.

Telengana Movement

Demand for a separate state is not a new phenomenon in India particularly in some states like North East India, U.P., Bihar, etc. and of late Andhra Pradesh. The telengana movement is the theme of many research scholars, academicians, and also policy makers. The think tanks are nowadays busy in formulating a policy or plan for a separate state in response to the massive telengana movement. Telengana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) with its leader Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) was formed in 2001 having the lone aim of creation of a separate state with Hyderabad as its capital. The creation of three separate states viz. Uttrakhand, Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in 2000 had invoked fresh demands for a separate state in Andhra reiterating their demands which was started way back in 1969. The Srikrishna Committee of 2011 couldn't satisfy the Telengana leaders, instead there was Million March in February.
