GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)
A Book on Kandhamal to reveal the truth behind violence
Saturday, January 24, 2009
Report by Rashmi r Parida; New Delhi: Sai Prasan, a Mumbai based senior
journalist, has been writing articles on Kandhamal violence which he calls it a
phenomena. He has written three articles and taken an interview of Dr John
Dayal, working for the cause of dalits.
Currently, Sai Prasan is writing his fourth article on the same subject which
will be released in the public domain within a couple of days. The readers can
read the earlier articles at www.kandhamalconversion.blogspot.com
In the process of studying Kandhamal phenomena, he has got the feed back from
people that the reasons behind Kandhamal violence is not local only. But, it
has both national and global linkages due to which the image of India specially
Odisha has been tarnished. And, poor dalits / tribal have become the victims of
communal forces.
Sai Prasan thinks that the media coverage of Kandhamal violence / phenomena is
not complete and the facts or truth behind Kandhamal episode is yet to be
unveiled. The people specially from Odisha origin living within and outside the
State as well as country were of the opinion that the global world needs to be
conveyed that the peace loving people of Odisha alone are not responsible for
the violence that continued for four months. There were several other factors
too responsible for this SC-ST conflict taking the shape of a Hindu-Christian
communal violence / phenomena, he said.
Sai Prasan is of the view that the people within and outside Odisha should be
conveyed that the secularism-peace and social change is a must for a holistic
development of the state.
In this backdrop, Sai Prasan has been suggested by some of the readers to write
a book on Kandhamal violence-phenomena. Hence, he has decided to write a book
with the help of inputs offered by two other persons. Both of them are also
closely associated with the day-today development in Kandhamal.
He has already written five chapters out of the twelve chapters of the seventy
five (75) pages book. Apart from covering different aspects of Kandhamal
violence, the book on Kandhamal violence will carry author's interaction with
Christian and Hindu leaders on Kandhamal violence / phenomena.
The book will be released in March this year. The place of the book release
will be either Bhubaneswar or New Delhi. The publisher of the book will be
Mumbai based media company – Samagra Mass Media (SMM). The copyright,
distribution rights or any other form of rights to the book will rest with the
author.
The resources for the printing and promotion of the book will be mobilized from
the individual and institutional sponsorers as it will help in keeping the
price at an affordable level for circulation within Odisha. And, the book will
be sold at the market price outside Odisha. The name of the sponsorers will be
given prominently on a separate page in the book. The number of the printing
order of the copies will depend on the resources mobilized.
The author or publisher shall not take any profit from the books sold in the
calendar year 2009. And, any profit earned from the book will be spent on
creating awareness among people about secularism and social change in Odisha.
The name of the book will be decided in due course of time.

Congratulations and best wishes to President Barack Obama. I watched the
inauguration speech and was very impressed. If he manages to fulfill just a
tenth of what he has promised, his place in the history of the human race is
assured. And I have a nagging suspicion that he will. - gaspar almeida
