Reg. No. 487/8 CANSAULIM P.O. 403712 MORMUGAO- GOA Ref : Date : 9th October 2020 In favour ofPublication, please Goenchea Raponkarancho Ekvott OlencioSimoes General Secretary and Vice Chairperson of National Fishworkers Forum [NFF] said thatfishermen of Goa and India mourns the demise of our beloved leader and oneamong the tall stalwarts and General Secretary of NFF late.Thomas Peter from Kerala. Simoes said that he Coming from the background of a fishing village, theson of Thomas and Clarie Bell dedicated his life and defined his role ofengaging with and for the struggling communities. Comrade T Peter’s relentlessefforts of working with the small-scale traditional fishing community acrossIndia spans over four decades. He served the community with the basicconviction that it is their voices that should be at the forefront whiledemanding their rights. He was handed over responsibility at various levels organisationally -leading Kerala Swathanthra Matsya Thozhilali Federation [KSMTF] at thedistrict and state levels as the District and was the State Secretary and StatePresident of KSMTF ,Executive Member of the World Forum of Fisher Peoples(WFFP)and Syndicate Member of the KeralaFisheries University. He performed the responsibilities handed over to him withgreat passion and dedication. This was also visible at various forefronts withour former leaders like Fr Thomas Kochery, Ram Bhau Patil, Harekrishna Debnath,Matanhy Saldanha and many others in the anti-trawling struggle, Struggleagainst Joint ventures, Against diluting of CRZ etc. Struggle for him did not confine with the fishworkers only but being insolidarity with various people’s movements nationally, regionally and locallywith the Narmada Bachao Andolan, Anti Coco-Cola Struggle, Anti EndosulphanMovement, Anti Kudankulam Struggle, Anti Sterlite Struggle are a fewamong the many struggles he shared solidarity with. This definitely issomething which T.Peter stand apart from various leaders too. His simplisticand distinct lifestyle is something which was peculiar which was symbolic aswell as political. The pandemic has paved way for the untimely departure of our dearcomrade. His last days of extensive campaign and work was focussed on theproposed upcoming shipping corridor in the coast and building up alliances tofight against this draconian project in the garb of Sagarmala which would bedisplacing thousands of fishworkers from their lives and livelihoods. He alsowas seriously engaged in bringing and building up a policy for protecting thefishworkers and the coasts. As we all are coming to terms with this untimely loss, NFF also standswith Peter’s family and remember them for their dedication for giving us Peterto take forward the aspirations of the fishing communities. It will be Peter’senergy, optimism and politics of a new world is possible that will lead andhelp us to carry the communities aspirations and vision forward. -Sd- Agnelo Rodrigues (President) -sd- Olencio Simoes (Gen.

[Goanet] Hathras and the Failure of the Indian State (Dhaka Tribune, 9/10/2020)
https://www.dhakatribune.com/opinion/op-ed/2020/10/08/op-ed-hathras-and-the-failure-of-the-indian-state According to the Indian government’s own National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) at least one rape is reported every 16 minutes, and giant Uttar Pradesh registers around 10 cases per day, the abysmal worst state next only to Rajasthan. Over years without respite, the country has become mostly inured to this never-ending criminal disaster. Thus, it’s first of all rather surprising that India has become seriously roiled by the violent gang-rape of one 19-year-old woman in a field in UP’s Hathras district on 14th September. Part of the reason lies in the family backgrounds of the victim (she was Valmiki, from a cluster of castes that have been historically excluded and oppressed as “untouchable” or Dalit) as well as her assailants (they are Thakur, another set of social groups that claim the status of “Rajputs”). There’s also the open-and-shut nature of this incident: the young woman was grievously injured, and eventually succumbed (her autopsy report lists evidence of strangulation and severe cervical injuries), but took pains to record her “dying declaration” with a magistrate, where she named Sandip Singh, Ramu Singh, Ravi Singh and Lavkush Singh, and detailed the nature of their vicious attack. Yet, as horrific as this crime was, it is the cynical, heartless cover-up that has stunned and galvanized people across India and the world. Immediately after the young woman died on 29 September, even under the full glare of national media, the Uttar Pradesh police seized her body, transported it back to Hathras, and cremated it themselves. In a part of the country obsessed with rituals, the afflicted family was not allowed to perform them, and denied even a final glimpse of their relative. This struck a deep chord: the Allahabad High Court immediately intervened with *suo moto* notices, saying the issue was of “immense public importance and public interest as it involves allegation of high-handedness by the State authorities resulting in violation of the basic human and fundamental rights not only of the deceased victim but also of her family members.” Since then, it has been non-stop chaos in Hathras and UP, with the state apparatus desperately trying to save face the only manner it knows: threats, intimidation, scurrilous insinuations and violence. All of this is playing out on national television and social media in an extremely disturbing lowlight reel, and unmistakable indication the Indian state is failing in fundamentally important ways. In one especially chilling video, the District Magistrate of Hathras (it is an all-powerful administrative post) Praveen Kumar Laxkar openly threatened the victim’s father to withdraw the rape charge made by his daughter on her deathbed, saying “Half of the media people have left today, the other half will leave by tomorrow. Only we will stand with you. It is up to you whether you want to change your statement or not.” Later, the Additional General of Police (Law & Order) of the UP police made the absurd claim that rape couldn’t have occurred because semen couldn’t be detected in the forensic samples taken from the victim’s body 11 days after her assault. Then came his own threats: “it is clear that some people twisted the matter to stir caste-based tension. Such people will be identified and legal action will be taken.” Meanwhile, the state chief minister Ajay Bisht – who is called Yogi Adityanath by his supporters – went further, alleging an international conspiracy to defame him, and warning that his government would “handle” agitators the same way it silenced protestors against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill, and “those who, during the corona pandemic, sheltered the Tablighi Jamaat to try and spread the disease.” It was no idle threat. As the* Indian Express* put it in an unblinking editorial on October 7, “What kind of a regime would see, after the death of the 19-year-old Dalit woman assaulted by upper caste men in Hathras, not the grief of the family that lost its daughter and was denied even the right to conduct her last rites, and hear not the ringing demands for lawful justice — but only a conspiracy to defame its own reputation? As Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath spoke of “anarchists” and “conspiracies” against his government by those “who want to incite caste and communal riots”, his police force, in the dock themselves for their brutish action, obediently took their cue and registered a spate of FIRs — 21 and counting.” That same day, the UP police arrested the Malayalam journalist Siddique Kappan and three friends, who were on their way to Hathras, and levelled the outrageous and extremely serious charges of sedition, “outraging religious feelings”, and “promoting enmity between groups” (some of these under the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. It is hard not to agree with acclaimed journalist Rana Ayyub, who promptly tw
