Soft cover. Condición: New. P.A. Sebastian or Sabby as he was affectionately called, was one of the original human rights and people's lawyers in the country. He was a fearless fighter for human and democratic rights especially for the poor and marginalized. He was instrumental in setting up the Committee for the Protection of Democratic Rights and the Indian Association of People's Lawyers, which was perhaps the first network of people's lawyers in the country. He also pioneered and spearheaded the setting up of people's tribunals to investigate atrocities which were either sponsored or abetted by state agencies. He did all this, despite his physical handicap. This book containing his writings over his career, provides a good insight into the thinking and ideology of our beloved Sabby. It will undoubtedly be very valuable, especially for young lawyers interested in rights lawyering. Prashant Bhushan, one of the foremost public interest lawyers in the Supreme Court of India. P.A. Sebastian, human rights defender, housing rights activist and labour lawyer, all rolled into one, was a selfless pillar of strength in the legal battles of the poor and the downtrodden against an oppressive system. He worked with us closely for years to ensure the rights of slum dwellers and the homeless are protected. His articles and writings will give us strength for the long and unfinished fight for justice in our unequal world. Shabana Azmi, one of the finest Indian actresses, a well-known public figure, and a committed social activist. P. A. Sebastian was not only a great civil liberties lawyer and humanist but a dear friend who fought all my court cases against film censorship in its myriad forms, for whatever little money we could gather, or completely pro bono. I am thrilled that Bernard D'Mello has meticulously collected all his invaluable writings so they may be found in one consolidated book. It is an invaluable resource both for human rights advocates and students of the political history of modern India. Anand Patwardhan, one of India's outstanding documentary filmmakers. Pellisary Anthony Sebastian (1938-2015) was a people's lawyer and human-rights activist, General Secretary of the Committee for the Protection of Democratic Rights, Mumbai, for over three decades, Principal Secretary of the Indian People's Human Rights Commission, and one of the founders and leading lights of the Indian Association of People's Lawyers and the International Association of People's Lawyers. The Fight to Win Rights is a collection of Selected Writings of P.A. Sebastian, penned in the corridor of time between March 1980 and January 2011, with a thoughtful introduction by Bernarnd D'Mello. It is a profoundly upsetting characterisation of the Indian judicial system in so far as the exploited classes, the oppressed castes, the oppressed nationalities, women, Muslims, and other religious minorities, and Adivasis are concerned. Coming in these dark times when political forces wedded to an 'Indian variant of Nazism' are in power, when human-rights activists are subjected to legal persecution under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, this collection of Sebastian's writings could not have been more to-the-point and to-the-purpose.

Soft cover. Condición: New. "This is a remarkable work of scholarship which shows how Kashmir s modern Muslim identity came into existence. In doing this, it demonstrates the complex manner in which politics can enforce the creation of religious identity. Kashmir is a hotbed of religious politics. Disputed between India and Pakistan, this territory comprises a large majority of Muslims who are subject to the laws of a predominantly Hindu and increasingly Hinduised India. How did religion and politics become so inextricably enmeshed in defining and expressing the protest of Kashmir s Muslims against Hindu rule? This book is a brilliant historical study of this central issue in the troubled politics of South Asia s most picturesque and most volatile province. Mridu Rai argues that the origins of present political conditions and problems lie in the hundred-year period preceding the creation of India and Pakistan, when Kashmir was ruled by a succession of Hindu Dogra kings. The Dogras wielded power under the aegis of British imperialism, and the collusion of colonial state and collaborating vassals played no small part in shaping a decisively Hindu sovereignty over a subject Muslim populace. This sovereignty took a novel political form in Kashmir. It was characterized by an unprecedented degree of control by rulers intent on establishing and legitimizing their authority via Hindu forms of patronage, tradition, ritual, and related strategies. The region s Muslims, unlike its Hindus, were left out of the power-sharing arrangements not simply because of their religion but because, as Muslims, they became irrelevant to the legitimizing devices installed by the Hindu Dogras and their British overlords. Therefore, the protest of Kashmiri Muslims historically represents not so much a defense of Islam as a defence of their rights by a community defined specifically as Muslims by an explicitly Hindu ruling hierarchy. This explains the development of a consciousness among Kashmiri Muslims of religiously-based neglect, as well as the emergence of their ongoing political protest. Everyone interested in Kashmir and its history will want this book, as will those who study religion, politics, legal rights, and community identities.".
