No one Killed the Dalits by Meena Kandasamy

First part of the transcript of Meena Kandasamy's speech 'No One Killed the Dalits', delivered on 7th Anuradha Gandhy Memorial lecture has been published at Towards a New Dawn. here is a portion of the transcript- 

"I will begin by saying that in the past few days, we have been hearing and sharing pictures of the lynching of two Dalit children in Faridabad- Vaivab and Divya. And it is something that is very shocking and at the same time very graphic. But I will start by telling you that the killing of children is a caste Hindu speciality. From our memories of Gujarat genocide in 2002, we cannot forget the bodies of children which were lined up, arranged next to each other. And there is a long history of the killing of small children. If we look at the massacre in Kilvenmani that happened on Christmas day, 1968; 23 children were killed. All of them were burnt to death. In fact it was not just that the children were locked up in a hut and burnt to death but there is one episode which anybody in Kilvenmani tells you again and again. And it is the episode of how one of the mothers of a child in a last desperate attempt to save the child threw the child outside, hoping that somebody will save the baby, somebody in the mob would have the humanity to save this child. But they basically chopped the baby into pieces and put the baby back in the hut and set the hut on fire. So this is the caste Hindu humanity that we have in this country.

The New War on Terror : It might last longer than the Cold War


-Shruti Vyas-

Words somehow have a way of coming back to haunt us. The first time we millennial kids heard and screamed of ‘war’ was 14 years ago, when American President George W Bush in the aftermath of 9/11 declaring a ‘war on terror’. Fast forward to this tumultuous new world of 2015, and we see it splashed all over again. After the merciless attack on Paris, France’s President Francois Hollande spoke with the same persuasion that “there will be a war which will be pitiless”. The war that started 14 years ago has been declared once again.

It was inaugurated by Shri Manish Sisodia, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister, Delhi. The Chief Guest at the festival was Shri Kapil Mishra – Hon’ble Minister of Water Law & Justice Tourism Art Culture & Languages.

The festival will see participation of some of the legends of Indian classical music including Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pt. Jasraj, and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan among others. On the opening day of the festival, the euphonious voice of Begum Parween Sultana had a hypnotizing effect on the audience. The Hindustani Classical singer of the Patiala Gharana vowed the audience with her rendition of the ragas. At the same time, Pt Bhajan Sopori’s rendition on Santoor mesmerized the listeners.

Parween Sultana is renowned for her majestic voice and was awarded the Padmashree for the same in 1976. She was also honored by the Sangeet Natak Academy Award in the year 1999 and by the prestigious Padma Bhushan Award in 2014. Through the years, she has also lent her vocals to several Bollywood film songs including in movies like Do Boond Pani, Pakeezah, Gadar, Kudrat,  among others.

“The origins of Indian classical music can be found in the Vedas, the oldest scriptures in the Hindu tradition dating back to 1500 BCE. However, over the centuries, our music has incorporated inputs from multiple sources and has enriched itself with confluence of different traditions that met in the Indian subcontinent. Our instruments have held their own even in times of digital and techno driven musical instruments. Indian classical music is a true representative of our rich identity,” says Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia.


“In recent years there has been an animated debate on whether our classical music is losing out to the modern pop culture. However, when I see young music enthusiasts eager to learn our classical traditions and keen to master their hands in it, I feel confident of a bright future for our indigenous music. We need more such festivals to encourage young talent on the scene,” says Ustad Amjad Ali Khan.
