Comprehensive
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Amnesty International’s charge that tens of thousands of political prisoners, including prisoners of conscience, are languishing in Indian jails and that prisoners are routinely tortured in this country has to be seen in a much wider contest than the organization’s annual report cares to do. In its overall of 151 countries, Amnesty has accused 112 appraisal of 131 countries of torturing prisoners, 63 of harboring prisoners of conscience, 61 of resorting to political killings and 53 of detaining people without a trial. Of these apparently overlapping categories, India seems to have been excluded from the list of the 61 which undertake political killings. The report has, however, pointed out that scores of people in India die for torture in police and and military custody and that many also simply disappear. Clearly, only a thin line separates the 61 charged with political murder from the rest. Before coming to such conclusions, however, may also be necessary to countries according to to their politically various systems, Torture by the security forces and killings at the behest of the government no different to the victims whether they are in a democratic country or a totalitarian one. It is also nobody’s case that a democratic country is less culpable than a dictatorship in the vent of human rights violations. But the point perhaps still needs to be made that torture or ‘disappearances’ represent a failure of the system in a democracy in contrast to being an integral part of state policy in a country ruled by an autocrat who in answerable to no one.
India may be guilty of keeping tens of thousands behind bars and of the other human rights abuses mentioned by Amnesty, but it still remains a qualitatively different place from a totalitarian country. It is in this respect that Amnesty has been less than fair. It has chosen to ignore the distinctions between the good, the bad and the ugly. The openness of Indian soccity will be evident to anyone who spends half an hour in one of its chaotic market places or visits the law courts or watches a political rally or reads a newspaper or strikes up a conversation with any person on the roads. There is no sense of fear in India, as in a dictatorship. There is also scope for securing relief from the heavy-handed behaviour of the authorities, even if the human rights commission has not yet lived up to expectations. Unless sunh points are recognised, Amnesty’s assessment will such seem to be a dry recital of statistics which may pillons India simply because of its larger population Mercifully, Amnesty nowadays at least notes that the terrorists also indulge in human rights violations and that India has to cope with several insurgencies fomented by a country, where.the military does po not always seem to be under the control of the elected government. True, there is much that is wrong in India’s prison system and with the way the terrorist challenge in sometimes meet, but the stress should be on activating the self-correcting mechanism within a democracy and not merely on painting a grim, even biased, picture.
