WHO CARES ABOUT US KASHMIRIS?

NO END TO PROCESS OF ALIENATION
Tairah Firdous - 2013-02-16 18:08
As I kept blinking on my Facebook page for the updates from Kashmir, there was this helplessness that reminded me of the reign of oppression that people in Kashmir continue to suffer till date. Kashmir, the most militarised zone in the world, is again under siege and curfew. This time because India woke up to a new morning by hanging Afzal Guru to death. Guru, a fruit seller, was convicted eight years ago for his role in the attack on Indian Parliament in 2001, the charges Guru always denied.

THE NOOSE AND THE NATION

NO TIME TO ABOLISH DEATH PENALTY
Harihar Swarup - 2013-02-16 18:01
Should death penalty be abolished in India? Perhaps, not; time has not yet come to put a moratorium on capital punishment. Whatever view the Human Right activists may hold, the ultimate punishment acts as a deterrent to potential criminals. Look at three monstrous crimes that have taken place in India in recent years, forcing the government to have a rethink on banning of death penalty. Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde had only recently spoken of having second thoughts on the death penalty, days after 26/11 convict Ajmal Kasab’s top-secret execution on November 21.

ILO FOCUSING ON INDIA’S WORKERS

SHIFT IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS URGED
Sankar Ray - 2013-02-15 11:01
Never in the past did the International Labour Organisation do what it is doing now — paying special attention to the two-day strike of 470 million blue and white colour workers in India on 20 and 21 February. Among the reasons are participation of all central trade unions such as the Indian National Trade Union Congress, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, All India Trade Union Congress, Hind Mazdoor Sabha and Centre of Indian Trade Unions, the five largest TU centres and the worrisome state of industrial relations that aggravated the plight of the toiling masses.
