It has been 65 years since India — the largest democracy in the world — attained independence.
Yet, justice for all is still a far cry in the country where the caste
system continues to determine political, social, and economic lives of
a billion people.
Money and muscle power, together with political string-pulling, often
result in denial of justice for the hapless ‘have-nots’, especially the
Dalits (untouchables), ravaged by poverty and illiteracy.
Atrocities and extortion on the Dalits, fake encounters, refusal to
register complaints against the well-heeled, arbitrary arrests on false
charges, illegal detention and custodial deaths are in commonplace.
In the absence of a modern social audit system, the keepers of the law
often unleash a ‘police raj’, especially in rural India. A crippled
National Human Rights Commission and its state subsidiaries with
limited re-commendatory control and a dysfunctional Legal Aid System
depict a gloomy picture indeed.
In a unique way, Lenin Raghuvanshi, a veteran human rights activist,
fighting the case-studies primarily drawn from Uttar Pradesh,
registering the highest rate of crime against the Dalits, chronicles
how with implicit support from the administration, the Dalits are
tortured and subjected to humiliation by the higher castes, like being
garlanded with shoes, their faces blackened or being forced to ride an
ass; yet, in most of the cases, violence, deaths or custodial tortures
that are committed against the marginalised and deprived castes go
unrecorded.
Ironically, even after having shed the colonial yoke, its legacy
continues in the administrative framework of our independent India
marked with widespread corruption which has rendered many
government-sponsored schemes in rural India a failure.
Lenin Raghuvanshi, an Ayurvedic physician by profession, has been
working for the rights of bonded and child labourers and other
marginalised people in Varanasi and eastern part of Uttar Pradesh,
India. In 1996, he and his wife Shruti founded People’s Vigilance
Committee on Human Right (PVCHR), a community-based organisation, to
break the closed, feudal hierarchies of conservative slums and villages
by building up local institutions and supporting them with a high
profile and active human rights network.
He has become the symbol of nonviolent resistance among millions of
Dalits fighting for dignity. For his commitment in favour of
marginalized people, he has periodically suffered death threats.
Already an Ashoka Fellow, Lenin was the President, United Nations’
Youth Organisation (UNYO),Uttar Pradesh (India) Chapter. Lenin’s work
has been recognised with Gwangju Human Rights Award for 2007. In 2009,
in collaboration with the Rehabilitation and Research Centre for
Torture Victim (RCT), Denmark, Lenin developed Testimonial Models for
torture survivors in India. City Council of Weimar in Germany selected
Lenin Raghuvanshi for the International Human Rights Award for 2010.

विषय - उत्तर प्रदेश के बदायू जनपद के लालपुर पुलिस चौकी मे 17 वर्षीय किशोरी के साथ बलात्कार के सन्दर्भ मे !
महोदया,
हम आपका ध्यान उत्तर प्रदेश के बदायू जनपद के लालपुर पुलिस चौकी की ओर आकृष्ट कराना चन्हुंगा, जहा 17 वर्षीय किशोरी के साथ पुलिस के मुखबिर व वहा उपस्थित सिपाही का दोस्त ने उसे अपनी हवस का शिकार बना डाला और वही सिपाही घटना के वक्त पुलिस चौकी के गेट पर खडा होकर पहरा देता रहा !
पीडिता किशोरी रामपुर जिले के खजुरिया थाना अंतर्गत गांव कायमगंज की निवासनी है, जो बडे सरकार की दरगाह पर जियारत करने आयी थी ! रात होने पर वह अपने वृद्ध रिश्तेदार के साथ एक तख्ते पर सो गयी, उसी दौरान सम्बन्धित पुलिस चौकी के गश्ती करते सिपाही गण पहुंच गये और चौकी ले आये ! पुलिस किशोरी और रिश्तेदार के छोडने के एवज मे 20 हज़ार रूपय्रे की मांग भी रखा था !
विदित हो की जिन लोंगो पर जाय्ररीन की सुरक्षा का जिम्मा था, वे ही समाज मे असुरक्षा और अवयवस्था को जन्म देते है ! इस तरह की मामला हमेशा सुनने और देखने को मिलती है !
अत: आप से अनुरोध है की मामले मे त्वरित हस्तक्षेप करते हुए सम्भावित दोषियो के खिलाफ न्यायोचित कानूनी कार्यवाही की जाए, एवम पीडिता व गवाहो को सुरक्षा तथा मुआवजा प्रदान कराने का आदेश पारित करने के साथ मामले मे उच्चस्तरीय जांच कराने की कृपा करे !

बदायूं : उत्तर प्रदेश के बदायूं जिले में शर्मसार कर देने वाली घटना में पुलिस चौकी में एक नाबालिग लड़की से कथित रूप से बलात्कार किया गया। इस मामले में तीन पुलिसकर्मियों को निलम्बित करके गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया है।

श्रीवास्तव ने बताया कि रात करीब तीन बजे सुमित नामक पुलिस रंगरूट अपने साथी गोपाल के साथ आया और रिहाई के लिये अली से कथित रूप से धन मांगा जिसमें असमर्थता जताने पर गोपाल उस लड़की को पुलिस चौकी के अंदर बने कमरे में ले गया और सुमित बाहर से दरवाजे की कुंडी लगाकर पहरे पर बैठ गया। उन्होंने बताया कि कमरे में लड़की के चीखने की आवाज सुनकर आसपास मौजूद स्थानीय लोग पहुंच गये और गोपाल तथा सुमित को पकड़ लिया।
श्रीवास्तव ने बताया कि इस मामले में सुमित, पुलिस चौकी में तैनात सिपाहियों औसाफ अली और माजिद तथा बलात्कार के आरोपी गोपाल को गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया है। उन्होंने बताया सुमित, औसाफ अली और माजिद को निलम्बित कर दिया गया है। श्रीवास्तव ने बताया कि पीड़ित लड़की को चिकित्सीय परीक्षण के लिये भेजा गया है। (एजेंसी)

बदायूं की पुलिस चौकी में किशोरी से रेप
•अमर उजाला ब्यूरो
बदायूं। रामपुर के एक गांव से आई एक किशोरी के साथ रविवार की रात लालपुल की पुलिस चौकी में एक युवक ने बलात्कार किया। युवक सिपाही का दोस्त बताया गया है। युवती बड़े सरकार की दरगाह पर जियारत करने आई थी। हादसे की खबर लगते ही लोग जुट गए और रात ही में पुलिस चौकी घेर ली। हंगामा सोमवार सुबह तक चलता रहा। एसपी के आदेश पर दो सिपाहियों और एक रंगरूट को निलंबित कर गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया। पुलिस ने तीनों के साथ ही रेप के आरोपी युवक को भी गिरफ्तार कर चारों को न्यायिक हिरासत में जेल भेज दिया।
हादसे का शिकार किशोरी अपने रिश्ते के नाना (मां के खालू) के साथ रामपुर के एक गांव से यहां आई थी। रविवार रात उसके रिश्ते के नाना और किशोरी बड़े सरकार की दरगाह परिसर में एक ही तख्त पर सोए थे। वहां दूसरे जायरीनों को दोनों को साथ सोने पर कुछ संदेह हुआ तो उन्होंने शोर मचा दिया। इसी दौरान पुलिस चौकी के गश्ती सिपाही माजिद हुसैन, औसाफ अली एवं सुमित के अलावा उसका दोस्त गोपाल निवासी मोहल्ला ब्राह्मपुर वहां पहुंच गए। सिपाही दोनों को चौकी ले आए। आरोप है कि पुलिस ने किशोरी और उसके रिश्तेदार को छोड़ने के लिए 20 हजार रुपये मांगे। रुपये नहीं देने पर दोनों को चौकी में बैठाए रखा गया।
सिपाही माजिद और औसाफ रात करीब 12 बजे फिर गश्त पर चले गए। इसी दौरान रंगरूट सुमित की मौजूदगी में उसके दोस्त गोपाल ने चौकी के ही कमरे में किशोरी के साथ बलात्कार किया। सोमवार को सुबह 11 बजे लालपुल पुलिस चौकी के सामने भीड़ ने रास्ता जाम कर दिया। एसपी रतन श्रीवास्तव के आदेश पर पीड़ित किशोरी की तहरीर पर सदर कोतवाली में आरोपियों के खिलाफ मुकदमा पंजीकृत कराया गया।

Open letter to Chief Minister of Government of Odisha: Voice of children of Lesser God
25 May, 2012
To,
Chief Minister
Government of Odisha
Bhuneshwar.
Sub: Voice of children of Lesser God
The three interns Ms. Linnea Karlsson, Ms. Sara Arrhusius and Ms. Josefine Jacobsson, from Stockholm Sweden worked at the orphanage Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan (MMSB) www.mmsb.org.in in Orissa during 2010- 2011.
They witnessed the cruel abuse of the children during their stay at MMSB and the children themselves professed to being brutally molested psychologically and physically. They have on a regular basis been beaten and threatened with ropes, saw blades and stones throughout their childhood. Children are molested everyday by people like Baikunta Mishra and Babula. More people in Orphanage are involved in the abuse. http://www.scribd.com/doc/94685231/Testimonies-MMSB#page=1
On that injustice the follows actions:
1. Sara Arrhusius writes a general report that briefly touches on the problems at MMSB. The report is sent to the Secretary and board members of Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan at the time (period between 2008-2010) and Gunilla Frankman. It was also intended for the board of MMSB.
2. Josefine Jacobsson and Linnea Karlsson send a first testimony to PM Pyrimohan Mohaptra (Founder Patron and Life Member Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan, Keonjhar since 1973) http://india.gov.in/govt/rajyasabhampbiodata.php?mpcode=1947 after he has asked us to send information through e-mail about the children's situation at MMSB. In the testimony they mentioned (to maltreatment of the children and then especially the boys. We have seen fresh bruises, wounds and scars from the abuse. Linnea has at some
occasions seen beating, heard punches and we have both witnessed psychological abuse.) We know that this is not just accidents but actions committed by the Super Intendent Mr. Mishra on a regular basis. As you know the French and Swedish organisations and Adoption centre in Sweden do not accept this kind of treatment of children and it is now your responsibility, when you are informed, to deal with this problem.
3. Linnea Karlsson, Sara Arrhusius and Josefine Jacobsson send separate testimonies to Swedish Adoptions centre and PVCHR.
On 8th March, 2011 Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) sent letter to National Human Rights Commission http://www.pvchr.net/2011/03/complaint-on-orphanage-violence-to-nhrc.html with a request to protect these children and do investigation in the matter at earliest. The commission directed the matter to Orissa Human Rights Commission.
On 6th August, 2011 Orissa Human Rights Commission in case no. 674 of 2011 No. 9503/OHRC in the ordered sheet that "A letter dated 30th May, 2011 has been received from the petitioner seeking information of the action taken on the order of the commission dated 28th April, 2011. Evidently the order of the commission dated 27th May, 2011 where the case was concluded had not been received by the petitioner by 30th May, 2011. On the verification of paper, it is seen that the said order of the commission has been complied on 16th July, 2011. By now he should have received the copy of the order. So no further action seems necessary." http://www.scribd.com/doc/94684635/Orissa-Human-RIghts-Commission#page=1 but before the order sheet PVCHR never received letter from Orissa Human Rights Commission for the comment.
On 11th March, 2011 letter was sent to National Commission for Protection of child right. NCPCR in letter dated 6th June, 2011 File no. OR-17011/21/975/2011-Comp stated the matter was enquired by the Collector and the district Magistrate, Keonjhar. Report in this regard has been received which categorically denies of any such incidence of misbehavior at the institution. It has also been reported that the children are happy with the arrangement made for them by the institution. http://www.scribd.com/doc/94683113/NCPCR#page=1. The enquiry was not conducted through independent agency as the founder of MMSB Shri PM Pyrimohan Mahopatra had a strong linkage in Orissa.
The 10th of March 2012 when the annual board meeting was held, the children stood up and begged for the board members to listen. They wanted to complain about their situation but were prevented from doing so. Seeing no other solution 16 children left the orphanage in protest and went to the railway station with the intention to commit suicide. We know these children very well and we cannot even imagine the extent of the desperation they most have felt when they decided to take action at the time of their final exams. After the incident local media has monitored the case.
Late in the evening police arrived to the railway station. They took the children with them and violated their authority and Indian law as they battered them. In the morning they were returned to the orphanage. This police violence against children is of great concern but the very exposed situation of these children, and then especially these 16 children, is a direct threat to their safety. We fear for their lives.
Then on the 10th May, 2012 an article published in Times of India "Sexual harassment charge against orphanage secy" http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/Sexual-harassment-charge-against-orphanage-secy/articleshow/13075414.cms that Iinmates and staff of Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan, an orphanage in Keonjhar, on Wednesday brought allegations of sexual harassment, physical torture and misappropriation of funds against the secretary of the institute. They lodged a complaint with the State Commission for Women and have also written to the state government. It has become difficult for women to work in the institute because of the atrocities of the secretary. We informed the collector, district social welfare officer and police about it. When no action was taken we decided to lodge a complaint with the State Commission for Women," said Parbati Jena, another employee. "The same secretary was dismissed by collector following an enquiry into alleged physical torture of inmates in 2008. But using his power he joined the institute again last year," said Jena.
Chairperson of state commission for women Jyoti Panigrahi said, "I received the petition filed by the inmates and staff of the institute. We would make a field visit and conduct an enquiry if required."
The children that has just left MMSB and are moving around in the different villages for fear of being detected by the Satya N Mishra and the others working for him. Since they are living outside they are not protected by the coverage of media and anything could happen to them.
This story came in many print and electronic media in Sweden http://www.tv4play.se/nyheter_och_debatt/nyheterna?title=systematisk_misshandel_pa_ett_barnhem_i_indien&videoid=2189920, http://www.fria.nu/artikel/93242, http://www.fria.nu/artikel/89405, http://www.barnsrattigheter.com/lotusbarnen-utelamnade-at-sitt-eget-ode/, http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/adoptionscentrum-kritiseras-for-samarbete-med-indiskt-barnhem, http://soundcloud.com/linnea-karlsson/audio-recording-on-wednesday
Therefore it is a kind request to immediate conduct enquiry through independent agency and provides security to the children. As one hand the Odisha Government is doing Tribal advocacy for making Mr.P.A Sangama as President of India but other hand what is the strategy of Orissa Government for the tribal children such as sexual abuse of Tribal Children in Orphanage.
Thanking You
Sincerely Yours
(Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi)

Open letter to Prime Minister of India
To,
Hon'ble Prime Minister,
Government of India
New Delhi
Sub: Voice of children of Lesser God
The three interns Ms. Linnea Karlsson, Ms. Sara Arrhusius and Ms. Josefine Jacobsson, from Stockholm Sweden worked at the orphanage Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan (MMSB) www.mmsb.org.in in Orissa during 2010- 2011.
They witnessed the cruel abuse of the children during their stay at MMSB and the children themselves professed to being brutally molested psychologically and physically. They have on a regular basis been beaten and threatened with ropes, saw blades and stones throughout their childhood. Children are molested everyday by people like Baikunta Mishra and Babula. More people in Orphanage are involved in the abuse. http://www.scribd.com/doc/94685231/Testimonies-MMSB#page=1
On that injustice the follows actions:
1. Sara Arrhusius writes a general report that briefly touches on the problems at MMSB. The report is sent to the Secretary and board members of Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan at the time (period between 2008-2010) and Gunilla Frankman. It was also intended for the board of MMSB.
2. Josefine Jacobsson and Linnea Karlsson send a first testimony to PM Pyrimohan Mohaptra (Founder Patron and Life Member Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan, Keonjhar since 1973) http://india.gov.in/govt/rajyasabhampbiodata.php?mpcode=1947 after he has asked us to send information through e-mail about the children's situation at MMSB. In the testimony they mentioned (to maltreatment of the children and then especially the boys. We have seen fresh bruises, wounds and scars from the abuse. Linnea has at some occasions seen beating, heard punches and we have both witnessed psychological abuse.) We know that this is not just accidents but actions committed by the Super Intendent Mr. Mishra on a regular basis. As you know the French and Swedish organisations and Adoption centre in Sweden do not accept this kind of treatment of children and it is now your responsibility, when you are informed, to deal with this problem.
3. Linnea Karlsson, Sara Arrhusius and Josefine Jacobsson send separate testimonies to Swedish Adoptions centre and PVCHR.
On 8th March, 2011 Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) sent letter to National Human Rights Commission http://www.pvchr.net/2011/03/complaint-on-orphanage-violence-to-nhrc.html with a request to protect these children and do investigation in the matter at earliest. The commission directed the matter to Orissa Human Rights Commission.
On 6th August, 2011 Orissa Human Rights Commission in case no. 674 of 2011 No. 9503/OHRC in the ordered sheet that "A letter dated 30th May, 2011 has been received from the petitioner seeking information of the action taken on the order of the commission dated 28th April, 2011. Evidently the order of the commission dated 27th May, 2011 where the case was concluded had not been received by the petitioner by 30th May, 2011. On the verification of paper, it is seen that the said order of the commission has been complied on 16th July, 2011. By now he should have received the copy of the order. So no further action seems necessary." http://www.scribd.com/doc/94684635/Orissa-Human-RIghts-Commission#page=1 but before the order sheet PVCHR never received letter from Orissa Human Rights Commission for the comment.
On 11th March, 2011 letter was sent to National Commission for Protection of child right. NCPCR in letter dated 6th June, 2011 File no. OR-17011/21/975/2011-Comp stated the matter was enquired by the Collector and the district Magistrate, Keonjhar. Report in this regard has been received which categorically denies of any such incidence of misbehavior at the institution. It has also been reported that the children are happy with the arrangement made for them by the institution. http://www.scribd.com/doc/94683113/NCPCR#page=1. The enquiry was not conducted through independent agency as the founder of MMSB Shri PM Pyrimohan Mahopatra had a strong linkage in Orissa.
The 10th of March 2012 when the annual board meeting was held, the children stood up and begged for the board members to listen. They wanted to complain about their situation but were prevented from doing so. Seeing no other solution 16 children left the orphanage in protest and went to the railway station with the intention to commit suicide. We know these children very well and we cannot even imagine the extent of the desperation they most have felt when they decided to take action at the time of their final exams. After the incident local media has monitored the case.
Late in the evening police arrived to the railway station. They took the children with them and violated their authority and Indian law as they battered them. In the morning they were returned to the orphanage. This police violence against children is of great concern but the very exposed situation of these children, and then especially these 16 children, is a direct threat to their safety. We fear for their lives.
Then on the 10th May, 2012 an article published in Times of India "Sexual harassment charge against orphanage secy" http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/Sexual-harassment-charge-against-orphanage-secy/articleshow/13075414.cms that Iinmates and staff of Manoj Manjari Sishu Bhawan, an orphanage in Keonjhar, on Wednesday brought allegations of sexual harassment, physical torture and misappropriation of funds against the secretary of the institute. They lodged a complaint with the State Commission for Women and have also written to the state government. It has become difficult for women to work in the institute because of the atrocities of the secretary. We informed the collector, district social welfare officer and police about it. When no action was taken we decided to lodge a complaint with the State Commission for Women," said Parbati Jena, another employee. "The same secretary was dismissed by collector following an enquiry into alleged physical torture of inmates in 2008. But using his power he joined the institute again last year," said Jena.
Chairperson of state commission for women Jyoti Panigrahi said, "I received the petition filed by the inmates and staff of the institute. We would make a field visit and conduct an enquiry if required."
The children that has just left MMSB and are moving around in the different villages for fear of being detected by the Satya N Mishra and the others working for him. Since they are living outside they are not protected by the coverage of media and anything could happen to them.
This story came in many print and electronic media in Sweden http://www.tv4play.se/nyheter_och_debatt/nyheterna?title=systematisk_misshandel_pa_ett_barnhem_i_indien&videoid=2189920, http://www.fria.nu/artikel/93242, http://www.fria.nu/artikel/89405, http://www.barnsrattigheter.com/lotusbarnen-utelamnade-at-sitt-eget-ode/, http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/adoptionscentrum-kritiseras-for-samarbete-med-indiskt-barnhem, http://soundcloud.com/linnea-karlsson/audio-recording-on-wednesday
Therefore it is a kind request to immediate conduct enquiry through independent agency and provides security to the children.
Thanking You
Sincerely Yours
Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi
Secretary General
