Case
*Case brief:*
Since last few years PVCHR has been helping the member of the Musher
community to raise their voice against bonded labour, starvation and
malnutrition. Current village head of Belwa Mr. Rajendra Prasad Tripathi
himself was charged with the case of employing bonded labour in his brick
klin factory and two bonded labour Mr. Gehru and Mr. Bothu Mushar were
released with the support of PVCHR and PVCHR member is also the member of
the state Government sponsored district level committee against bonded
labour. In this case current village head Mr. Rajendra Prasad Tripathi was
sentenced to pay fine for restoring to bonded labour in his brick kilns.
Since then Mushar's were organizes by PVCHR, which directly challenged the
upper caste upper caste domination of the Mushars in Belwa by the Brahmin
community led by Mr. Tripathi. Simultaneously the PVCHR also started taking
up cases of starvation and malnutrition in the lower caste particularly from
Varanasi and other neighbouring district of Uttar Pradesh. AHRC report
hunger alert on dozen of these cases, upon which the united nation agencies
has initiated dialogues with Government of India. The cases of Mr.
Visambhar, nine year old Seema Mushar, 18-month old Alina Shahin, Mr. Kammal
Mushar starvation death cases from Varanasi district and three years old boy
Pritam starvation death cases from Ambedkar Nager district.
When these cases were reported current state administration Ms. Mayawati
took proactive step to address this issue. She personally intervenes in many
cases. In this process several other political parties also started interest
in this case. As of now starvation and malnutrition is the subject of
political debate in the state.
When the cases of starvation and death from malnutrition were reported from
Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister convened a meeting in which strict action were
suggested against the head of the district magistrate. It is juncture the
death of Alina, Kammal and Pritam were reported the PVCHR and AHRC issued
hunger alert upon it. The district administration (DM) Ms. Veena Kumari
founded these report as a challenge to the magistrate's within the district
and also as issues which are likely to bring the D.M office under fire from
state capital.
In December 2007 PVCHR also planned to erect two monuments in Belwa. One was
in the memory of the Mushars and other poor children who died from
starvation in Belwa and other was the solemn oaths the member of Mushar and
other marginalized families took in one folk school session. The content of
the memorial and oath is in plain and simple language. The action was
considered as yet another challenge by the D.M Ms. Veena Kumari. The D.M
ordered local police to stop the function was refused by the D.M's office.
To prevent the PVCHR and others human rights organizations from conducting
the function in Belwa the D.M ordered police to register a case against
PVCHR activist. For lodging, they choose the ever willing Mr. Tripathi, who
also found the activities of the PVCHR as to be threatening to his family's
Brahmin caste domination in the village. Accordingly a complaint was filed
by Mr. Tripathi at the Phulpur police station that entertains jurisdiction
over Belwa.
In spite of repeated reminder the Phulpur police station refused to produce
anything in the court. Even though the laws mandates a report to be filed by
the police in the court within 48 hours. The police filed a report after 10
days informing the court that the crime has been registered. In the mean
while PVCHR activist against whom the crime was registered also appeared in
the court informing that they are present in with in the jurisdiction of
police and public in case if the police wanted to be arrest. The police
however refused to arrest them.
Now it is known they that police is planning to file yet another fabricated
report in court starting that the accused are absconding and avoiding arrest
are planning to request the court to issue process directing local police
and the administration to proceed against the property of PVCHR activists
meaning the PVCHR office. The intention is to raid the PVCHR office as if in
compliance of the court's order and to destroy whatever that is maintained
at the offices in the form of records and other working equipments like
computers and other office equipment.

My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have
faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can loose
our battle.. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the
fullest sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For ours
is a battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It is the
battle of reclamation of human personality….
Dr. B.R.Ambedkar
