MAny criminals escape because there will be short of evidences to proove his crime, but when narco analysis play a role in getting out the truth which no other test does then it should be practiced. Letting a criminal escape is similar to letting the innocent get punished by his crime.Shilpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983019541514969889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386701100682030794.post-7270106691278260382011-07-30T22:47:48.648+05:302011-07-30T22:47:48.648+05:30In Braintree, Massachusetts, USA, I was arrested a...In Braintree, Massachusetts, USA, I was arrested and thrown in jail on false charges after I complained of being sexually harassed.

Nellie still haunts by Hemendra Narayan<BR/>---<BR/>Title: 25 Years On…Nellie Still Haunts<BR/>Author: Hemendra Narayan<BR/>Contact: hemennarayan@gmail.com<BR/>Price: Rs. 80<BR/>Year: 2008<BR/>--<BR/><BR/>It is now nearly 26 years that I was reinforcement to cover the<BR/>February 1983 elections of Assam for the Indian Express. I flew into<BR/>Gauhati as it was spelled at that time, from Patna, in the first week<BR/>of February. The Brahmaputra valley was on fire.<BR/><BR/>Not since the bloodbath at the time of break up of Pakistan leading to<BR/>formation of Bangladesh in 1971 that grisly scene of violence were<BR/>witnessed. The elections were held at gun point under direct President<BR/>Rule from Delhi. There were troops- paramilitary civil and police all<BR/>over but the chief focus was the conduct of polls at any cost-everything else including protecting vulnerable population had become a secondary proposition.<BR/><BR/>When the farcical polls were over I flew back to Patna in the last<BR/>week of the month. One of the co-passengers in the hopping Indian<BR/>Airlines flight was Special Secretary P P Nayyar. When told that it had been a “very costly elections”, I remember Nayyar telling me,” Yes, we even had to bring men and material from outside”! This was Nayyar’s sense of “cost” who headed the Home Ministry team providing logistics for the polls.<BR/><BR/>In the turbulence touched off by opposition to Prime Minister Indira<BR/>Gandhi's decision to hold state elections Assam had exploded. In the turmoil surrounding the election, the Assam movement leaders over the foreign national issue had virtually shut down the state with the non-cooperation movement. Only the hospital appeared to function and<BR/>it witnessed numerous casualties.<BR/><BR/>Indira Gandhi defended her decision to hold the elections. According<BR/>to Lok Sabha records she told the Parliament "The importance of the<BR/>country's integrity and independence is higher than any movement, or any of us." After polls were over it was not a victory that anyone could take satisfaction from it as it was a disaster of great magnitude. Its impact can still be felt in Assam.<BR/><BR/>Those were days without mobile phones and TV channel cameras. The TV screens would have been blinking ‘breaking news’ every next minute as so much was happening all over the state. I have a strong feeling that it would have been extremely difficult for the Prime Minister and the Chief Election Commissioner R K Trivedi to go ahead with the polls had cameras rolled as it does these days from any disaster areas.<BR/><BR/>Mr B G Verghese, doyen of Indian journalism -- who has a special<BR/>interest on the affairs of the North–East, in his foreword remarks in the book – 25 years on Nellie still haunts-says, "India must care and ponder over what happened, and we must all learn our several lessons as distinctive groups, wider communities, the Government..."<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>Many have told me that recounting the horrors of Nellie could have a<BR/>therapeutic impact. Public memory is short. But individual memory --<BR/>very persistent! Intrusive recollections that one cannot forget --even when we wish we could. It is something that we just cannot block.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The book could be described as unloading of distressing emotions. But can I ever get over the unnatural sound the woman in green sari made as she ran to safety clutching her baby and two young kids following her. The answer is NO. Yet the good feeling about it is that the shriek she produced also meant she had survived. The woman, who had seen death all around, just ran and had forgotten how to cry.. The image of the four is subject on the cover of the book.<BR/><BR/>Worst is as I have said in the book’s introduction page: The traumatic events of the day keep coming back. The horrific images are stuck. The volume contains along with the eye witness account of the Nellie massacre on February 18, 1983; documents both government and non-official which put the distressing Assam events in perspective.<BR/><BR/>Yet recoil of memory recalls of the black Friday afternoon borders on<BR/>guilt. The main piece of the booklet - Woman in the Green Sari- is more of personal impression of mine and not a hard news story by a<BR/>professional. We, there were two others -- who more by journalistic<BR/>instinct than design – became witness to the terrible mayhem. The<BR/>traumatic incidents of Nellie still haunt and the horrific images are<BR/>stuck.<BR/><BR/>The magnitude of death and destruction as they unfolded in the open clear picturesque setting- continues to overwhelm me. It was an eerie setting because of the 'kill-burn-slay' psychology of the hundreds of armed men. We were witness to the part of the massacre which in administrative files describe as “Nellie”. The toll around Nellie villages officially stood at 2,191. Unofficially the figure was much higher. There was a complete slaughter and one stood helpless.<BR/><BR/>If the image of woman in green sari is imprinted in my mind, so is the<BR/>jerky rabbit like movement of a young boy -- may be of six or seven by age. We watched from a distance of 30-40 metres -- the width of<BR/>meandering Demal rivulet. He was trying to hide from an impending<BR/>danger. A man in a dhoti wielding a dao was closing on. The man was a<BR/>member of the killer group, which had moved west chasing their targets. He seemed to be in a hurry to catch up.<BR/><BR/>The boy, left behind by his folks, had no place to hide. The gap<BR/>between the two closed -- and as the man with the weapon came nearer, the boy tried to push himself into the ground. But the freshly harvested field gave him no chance. Suddenly, for us time lost all meaning. Demal separated us. Years have gone by, but the picture is etched clearly, even now. Near striking distance, the man switched the dao from his right to left hand. And as he passed, the boy got nothing more than a hard slap. There was a low pitched scream as he fell on the ground under the impact. The boy -- a lonely tiny target --survived.<BR/><BR/>The book has my eye witness account of the day, the memorandum of the<BR/>Lalung (Tiwas) Durbar to the Prime Minister in which they have tried<BR/>to play down their role in the massacre; the Central Government’s<BR/>account after the elections that lit the fuse to manifold contrary<BR/>fears; the findings of a non-official (citizens’) inquiry commission; interview of Tribhuwan Prasad Tewari who headed the one-man Commission of Inquiry into the violence of Assam appointed by the Government. He did remember to have gone to Nellie. He had no regrets that his findings were yet to see the light of the day; and also the views of the Election Commission that conducted the poll. There is a version of another eye witness- Bedabrata Lahkar.<BR/><BR/>The main chapter also has accounts of the victims based on my<BR/>subsequent visits to the village. One of them was exactly six months<BR/>when the memories were ripe and the Muslim victims trying to settle<BR/>down to start their life afresh after the devastating tragedy. It was the time when they talked in terms of many “ifs” and blamed government of not doing what they had promised. Six month after the tragedy Hasan Dukani had recalled that he along with three others had met the police and others officers at Nowgong (as it was spelled at that time and was the district headquarters) about possible attack on them and were told , “all arrangements have been made .Nothing will happen”. They<BR/>recalled as how the police reached hours late on the fateful day. A<BR/>distressed Yusuf had recalled, “What protection it was? Eight of my family members were killed”.<BR/><BR/>I visited the village much later when the policemen at the chowki- a<BR/>grim reminder of the massacre- had said, “We are more bothered about<BR/>road accidents nowadays”.<BR/><BR/>Reporters covering calamity are left shocked. I have been to<BR/>earthquake sites and flood areas with numerous deaths all round but<BR/>Nellie catastrophe was human butchery. It still overwhelms. I had called on one of the Inspector General Mr M I S Iyer a few days after the tragedy and blurted, “Could we have saved?” Iyer took a round of the table put both his hands on shoulders to say, “We could not –how could you!” His words always come back to me with a sense of ‘doubtful reassurance’. It is also true than till the armed mob crossed the Demal, we had no inkling that they would go in for a killing spree.<BR/><BR/>The CRPF jawans reached the area hours late. We saw on them on the<BR/>other side of Demal while returning. They were asked to help a crying baby. “You are talking of one baby. The whole village has been butchered”, one of the jawan shouted back.<BR/><BR/>A life time story as a journalist has been a life time agony.<BR/><BR/>The book is dedicated to the survivors; the woman in green sari, the boy who got only a slap and the crying baby.<BR/><BR/>Ends<BR/>Also read:-<BR/><BR/>http://books.google.com/books?id=UGvgSOm8R94C&printsec=titlepag<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>25 years on..

I don't think the rest of Assam axcept Barak is peaceful. To be frank, the violations of human rights of the people residing in other parts of Assam are more blatant and outrageous.<BR/><BR/>As to your question why I chose to hghlight only the Barak Valley I would like humbly to say that I am a poor person with limited ability. I can't, for the time being, cover all of Assam or the North East. But, nevertheless, I am trying. You can say, for me Barak is starting point. One has to start from a particular point.<BR/><BR/>If I, you and others who think similarly together try to hghlight the lawlessness in Assam, I hope, we can do something.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to your response.RightSpeakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030855058769173780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386701100682030794.post-54082597154233641902008-01-04T20:54:00.000+05:302008-01-04T20:54:00.000+05:30Don't you think, all these are happening all over ...Don't you think, all these are happening all over Assam, and people from every corner of Assam has been suffering from this kind of lawlessness?<BR/><BR/>Why did you chose to highlight only the Barak valley cases as if rest of Assam is totaly peacefulAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870293370375040976noreply@blogger.com
