After writers , now sociologists join protest over Dadri Lynching , Murder of Scholars



मैदान छोड़ना नहीं, पीठ दिखाना नहीं, फासीवाद हारने लगा है!
देश को जोड़ लें,दुनिया जोड़ लें,कोई अकेला भी नहीं है!
दाभोलकार,पनसारे और कलबुर्गी के हत्यारे,बाबरी विध्वंस,भोपाल गैस त्रासदी.देश विदेश दंगों और आतंकी हमलों,सिखों के नरसंहार,गुजरात के दंगों,सलवा जुड़ुम और आफस्पा,टोटल प्राइवेटेजाइशेन,टोटल विनिवेश,टोटल एफडीआी के सौदागर तमाम हारने लगे हैं,हमारा यकीन भी कीजिये।


जिनने इस महादेश को कुरुक्षेत्र के मैदान में तब्दील कर दिया जो धर्म कर्म के नाम असत्य और अधर्म,अहिंसा और भ्रातृत्व के बदले हिंसा और नरसंहार,विश्वबंधुत्व के बदले  हिंदुत्व का ग्लोबल एजंडा और भारत तीर्थ की विविधता,वैचित्र्य के बदले गैरहिंदुओं के सफाये से देश को हिंदू बनाने के उपक्रम से कृषि,व्यवसाय और उद्योगधंधों की हत्या करके विदेशी पूंजी और विदेशी हितों के दल्ला बनकर महान  भारत देश की हत्या का राजसूय यज्ञ का आयोजन कर रहे थे। बाबुलंद ऐलानिया जिहाद जो  छेड़े हुए थे राष्ट्र के विवेक,सत्य, अहिंसा,न्याय,शांति समानता के बदले समरस मृत्यु उत्सव के नंगे कार्निवाल में हर मनुष्य को बंधुआ कंबंध बनाने के लिए हिंदू राष्ट्र के नाम पर। अंध राष्ट्रवाद के उन्मादी मुक्तबाजारी आवाहन के साथ।गौर से देख लो भइये,उनके रथ के पहिये धंसने लगे हैं।

अरविंद केजरीवाल,आप हमारी सुन रहे हैं तो दिल्ली में तीनों महापालिकाओं के सफाई कर्मचारियों को न्याय दिलाने के लिए तुरंत पहल करें!आपके लिए ऐतिहासिक मौका है।देश की राजधानी में अछूतों और बहुजनों की सुनवाई नहीं है एकसौएक दिन के धरने और अब हड़ताल के बावजूद क्योंकि लोकतंत्र भी मूक वधिर है।

Statement by Sociologists on the Need to Maintain Constitutional and Academic Freedoms

We, as sociologists and concerned citizens, feel extremely concerned about the lynching at Dadri, and the murders of scholars and thinkers like MM Kalburgi, Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and others, and wish to register our strong protest.

We are not just shocked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late response, but also by the implications of the victim-blaming statement he made. To say that 'Hindus and Muslims should not fight each other but should fight poverty instead' puts the onus for peace and fighting poverty entirely on civil society and communities and absolves the state of any responsibility for both. As Prime Minister, he should have asserted that the state would defend the rule of law.

In a country with some 4693 communities and over 415 living languages, each community is bound to have its own customs, including dietary choices. Individuals may also follow practices different from the ones followed by the majority of their community. Any attempt to impose a uniform belief or practice, on either individuals or communities, is antithetical to the freedom enshrined in the Constitution. It is the state's responsibility to ensure this freedom.

Further, as scholars, we are extremely worried about the implications of these recent developments for our ability to study and write about different life ways, and to critically analyse society, including social phenomena like .
