INDIA ASKED TO EXPLAIN ATTACKS ON MINORITIES, IMPUNITY FOR ITS ARMED FORCES, CASTE DISCRIMINATION, EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLINGS AND TORTURE AT THE UN - GETS UPSET

India's Human Rights Record: Myths and Reality Exposed

India's Solicitor General reacted angrily to repeated assertions made at the UN in Geneva that Indian armed forces have carried out human rights violations with impunity, calling them "totally off the mark". Given the largely ritualistic diplomatic niceties of the occasion - India's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) under the new Human Rights Council procedures held at the UN in Geneva on 10 April 2008 - this was a conspicuously odd reaction which brought laughter from journalists and NGO representatives who sat in on the session.
 
 Indeed there was a series of grave human rights issues raised by a number of states in the three hour session which saw the Indian delegation having to respond in what most observers saw as a shameless attempt to hide India's appalling human rights record behind the spin of claiming complete constitutional and legal safeguards which it protect the vulnerable. In essence it was the stark difference between the theoretical legal position and the actuality of systematic abuses and impunity that will characterise the world's assessment of India's human rights situation.

MASS MEDIA AND SOCIETY
The two faces of it!
By K.Asif

“Media and society share a common denominator, what former proffers is simultaneously reflected in the latter”

Right from the early journalistic efforts of world’s first newspaper ‘Acta Diurna’ (Daily Events) of ancient Rome to present day plethora of dailies, Press or better-called Media has come a long way.

Human Dignity vs. Identity-A tale of a valley in distress!
 By K.Asif

Kashmir, a disputed area on the map of the world, is being constantly ruined by the most dragged term here ‘Dialogue’.
