Patel’s argument was about the need for “far-reaching procedural and institutional reform” in the long term.

But the current priority is to deal with what has already happened. Suggestions from Amnesty (and similar organizations) often miss the reality on the ground, where people in Bengal and beyond are genuinely agitated and demanding justice.

His remarks give an insight into Beijing’s view of the relationship.

It essentially means “the recovery of territories that China feels it has lost through the imposition of unequal treaties by hostile foreign powers”. China’s constant refrain while commenting on the border issue — that it is a colonial legacy left behind by history — flows from this narrative. For India, the implication is that China is negotiating to ‘recover’ Indian territories that it claims namely, Aksai Chin, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. The issue of ‘stapled visas’ to residents of Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh despite India’s protests reinforces this. As its national strength grows, China is becoming more aggressive on the border issue, indicating that these are areas of potential conflict.

The US reaction was swift. It specifically targeted China’s technology sector, setting it back by at least 5 years. Some senior Chinese cadres said in confidence that it would have been better had Xi Jinping not made these declarations publicly.

Pakistan’s interests are comparatively narrow. The Pakistan army unequivocally supports the CPEC, indicating its close collaboration with China’s security and military establishments, which is why the opposition has been unable to dent it. It is because of the Pakistan Army’s direct support to CPEC, most of whose projects are located in the Pakistani heartland where the more conservative elements of its Islamic society reside, that friction has been contained. Little enclaves of Chinese workers whose consumption of pork, alcohol and other proclivities go against the tenets of Islam are a constant source of tension. Video clips and reports of clashes between the two have been suppressed; but resentment lingers. China clearly sets the agenda. It probably views Pakistan as a junior partner, but certainly one that is important enough for its strategic ambitions to make huge investments and secure its enduring influence. As China’s strategic and financial investments in Pakistan have grown, so too has its influence and interest in the country.

This unusually frank appraisal of Sino-India relations appeared in CICIR’s official publication and was soon followed up in mid-December by another article in the CCP-owned Global Times. Both articles certainly had high-level official approval. CCIR stated that ever since China got ‘liberated’ and India became independent, a military showdown between the two was inevitable. It opined that India’s rising international status since 2014 was a major contributory factor for the present crisis and anticipated an uneasy and tense period ahead in Sino-India relations with occasional, even major, clashes between the armed forces — including exchanges of fire — till they reach their respective ‘red lines’ and settle on a Line of Actual Control (LAC). CCIR expected that India would attempt to frustrate China’s rise, including by disrupting groupings like the SCO and BRICS from within. Since April 2015, when Xi Jinping announced the CPEC in Islamabad, there has been a pronounced shift in China’s policy towards India. This is particularly evident on the issue of J\u0026amp;K, on which Beijing had maintained ambiguity for decades. By pursuing the CPEC and making enormous investments in it, China ignored India’s sovereignty claims on Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Gilgit, Baltistan and the Shaksgam Valley and accorded de facto acknowledgement to Pakistan’s claim over these territories.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ECHINESE ATTEMPTS TO EASE TENSION IN INDO-PAK RELATIONS.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EIn a bid to secure its military and strategic interests Beijing began urging India at official and unofficial meetings, including with opinion-makers and think-tanks, that it should ‘ease tensions with Pakistan, resume talks with Pakistan, resolve the Kashmir issue and then look to improving ties with China’. This stance has persisted. After India revoked Article 370 in August, 2019, China raised the issue in the UNSC on three occasions and could well do so again, indicating its willingness to strain ties with India. That China is prepared to intervene militarily if it perceives a threat to the CPEC or its assets became clear in 2016, with the establishment of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)’s Western Theatre Command, as part of the restructuring and reorganization of its army. The operational tasks allotted to it are significant. They include “protecting China’s borders, eliminating threats in Xinjiang and Tibet, as well as in Afghanistan and other states that host training bases for separatists and extremists and protecting the Chinese workers and assets of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor”.

The\u0026nbsp; Sri Lankan Citizenship Act of 1948 was a significant legislative shift that stripped approximately 975,000 individuals of their Sri Lankan citizenship. These were predominantly Tamils who had migrated to Sri Lanka to work in the burgeoning tea and rubber plantations, contributing immensely to the country’s economic development.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EThe enactment of the Sri Lankan Citizenship Act was a response to the prevailing political and ethnic tensions in Ceylon. The post-colonial government, led by the United National Party under Prime Minister D. S. Senanayake, aimed to address the complexities of citizenship and ethnicity in the newly independent nation. However, this legislation resulted in severe humanitarian consequences, leaving a large segment of the population stateless and disenfranchised. The individuals affected were now without a nation to call their own, struggling to find a place in a world that had suddenly rendered them invisible.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EIn the wake of this crisis, the Indian and Sri Lankan governments sought to negotiate a resolution. The most notable of these agreements was the Nehru-Kothalawala Agreement of 1954. This agreement was designed to address the issue of statelessness by localising the registration of individuals and facilitating their repatriation to India. While the agreement was a step in the right direction, its implementation was marred by numerous challenges. Bureaucratic hurdles, political instability, and logistical issues hindered the effective execution of the agreement, leaving many individuals still trapped in a state of limbo.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EThe death of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964 marked a significant disruption in the process of resolving the issue. His passing led to a shift in diplomatic dynamics, and Sri Lanka’s then Prime Minister, Sirima Bandaranaike, faced the challenge of navigating a new path to address the unresolved issue. This led to the signing of the Sirima–Shastri Agreement on October 30, 1964. This agreement was a comprehensive attempt to resolve the crisis by granting citizenship to 300,000 individuals while repatriating 525,000 others to India.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EThe Sirima–Shastri Agreement was hailed as a landmark resolution, receiving international acclaim for its ambitious approach to a complex problem.

The village, which became home to many displaced individuals from Sri Lanka, is marked by the so-called “lion cabins” – temporary shelters that have, over the decades, become enduring symbols of neglect and broken promises. These cabins, initially intended to be temporary solutions, have persisted for decades, housing individuals who were promised a new beginning but have instead faced continued hardship.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EThe cabins, measuring approximately ten by ten feet, were constructed in the 1970s as a short-term measure to provide relief to those displaced by the earlier agreements.

However, over the years, that hope has been overshadowed by the harsh realities of his living conditions. Sivanadi recalls the initial optimism that accompanied their arrival in Kerala, but as the years passed, the reality of their situation became apparent. Despite the promises made to them, Sivanadi and his family have continued to live in cramped quarters, struggling to make ends meet on a meagre pension of Rs. 1000 per month.

In 2022, at least 31,000 rapes were reported, a 12% increase from 2020. These statistics vastly underrepresent the extent of sexual crimes, many of which go unreported for fear of social sanction and patriarchal disbelief. In 2018, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published an extensive study of violence against women using data from 161 countries between 2000 and 2018, which showed that nearly one in three, or 30%, of women ‘have been subjected to physical and\/or sexual violence by an intimate partner or non-partner or both’.

The hospital authorities informed the young doctor’s parents that she had committed suicide. They waited hours for the authorities to allow a post-mortem, which was done in haste. ‘She was my only daughter’, her mother said. ‘I worked hard for her to become a doctor. And now she is gone’. The police surrounded the family home and would not allow anyone to meet them, and the government pressured the family to cremate her body quickly and organised the entire cremation process. They wanted the truth to vanish. It was only because activists of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) blocked the ambulance that the family was able to see the body.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EOn 10 August, the day after the young doctor’s body was discovered, the DYFI, Students Federation of India (SFI), Communist Party of India (Marxist), and other organisations held protests across West Bengal to ensure justice. These protests grew rapidly, with medical personnel across the state, and then across India, standing outside their workplaces with placards expressing their political anger. The women’s movement, which saw massive protests in 2012 after a young woman in Delhi was gang raped and murdered, again took to the streets. The number of young women who attended these protests reflects the scale of sexual violence in Indian society, and their speeches and posters were saturated with sadness and anger. ‘Reclaim the night’, tens of thousands of women shouted in protests across West Bengal on 14 August, India’s independence day.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EThe most remarkable aspect of this protest movement was the mobilisation of medical unions and doctors.

For instance, nearly 75% of Indian doctors report experiencing some form of violence while more than 80% say that they are over-stressed and 56% do not get enough sleep. Most of these doctors are attacked by patients’ families who believe their relatives have not received adequate healthcare. Testimonies of female doctors during the protests indicate that women health workers routinely experience sexual harassment and violence not only from patients, but from other hospital employees. The dangerous culture in these institutions, many of them say, is unbearable, as is evidenced by the high suicide rates among nurses that are committed in response to sexual and other forms of harassment – a serious problem that received little attention. An online search using the keywords ‘nurses’, ‘India’, ‘sexual harassment’, and ‘suicide’ brings up a stunning number of reports from just the past year.
