We, the undersigned people’s organisations, social movements, trade
unions and concerned citizens, submit this memorandum to the Government to draw your attention to the several urgent and so far unaddressed concerns about the climate crisis and the Indian Government’s response to them, especially in light of the upcoming 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at Copenhagen from 7-18 December 2009.
Justice Liberhan submitted its report to the Government of India. The
Commission was set up 10 days after the demolition of Babri Masjid and it
took 17 long years and 48 extensions before it submitted the report on June
30th of this year (2009). Babri Masjid–Ramjanambhoomi controversy dominated Indian politics for about a decade and became the main issue and it was so controversial and rooted in communal politics that it polarized Indian people along religious lines for the first time in post-independence India and since it was raised for riding to political power and BJP did rise to political power towards the end of nineties of the last century.
This a first fact-finding report about the terrible police firing that happened at the remote Narayanapatna police station in south Orissa on 20 November 2009. A leader of the Chasi Mulya Adivasi Sangha (Tribal Farmers’ association) was among the three killed. The CMAS has played a leading role in campaigns to prevent bauxite being mined from 2 or 3 mountains in south Orissa, understanding that when a mountain is mined for bauxite its water-holding capacity is killed and the land suffers an invasion of corporations that displaces tribal people from their land.
