>From a friend on another list: <<Raya's comment-(copy n pasted from FB)
"Dear Partha Chatterjee, I wasnt updating the spreadsheet Inji was. I deleted the lspreadheet since then because it is an unsecure way to report as google docs can be hacked easily. Inji does not need to explain, maybe they weren't following the threads closely, I don't know. I wasn't paying attention to the spreadsheet as I have mid terms to study for and this has been very overwhelming for me. I haven't kept track for which I apologise. However if this is the only response, instead of taking accountability then nevermind. The list will stay for students to be wary..." Interestingly Raya Sarkar's comment in response on FB to Partha Chatterjee’s Statement seems quite non-confrontational in contrast to her earlier stance when she went hammer and tongs against S Harasser's like Partha.. Raya (earlier ones) If you are victim of sexual harassment go file an FIR (police report). No internal committee nonsense. Go straight to court. Internal committees will exhaust you harder than courts, speaking from 1st hand experience. I will send you a list of lawyers and dear friends who have agreed to take cases pro bono (for free). Also go to savarna feminist lawyers/Action groups and see if they help you. If they come with rape apologia or sexual harassment apologia come report to me/Greeshma Aruna Rai (if not, take their help) Take voice recordings ( there are many apps on Android and iPhone). Take recordings of your perps too. Evidence/+testimony is key. Remember, Weinstein got kicked on his butt harder cause of voice recordings. Take a video recording. Even better. I Believe You. I Believe You. I Believe You.>> END Sukla On 31 October 2017 at 13:03, Sukla Sen <[email protected]> wrote: > > [<<I believe it is fair for me to demand that the nature of the allegation > against me be made known to me so that I could make a specific response to > it.>> > > That appears to be quite a fair demand regardless of from whom it's coming > - a Savarna or a Dalit, a male or a female, a noted or a faceless one. > He doesn't ask the complainant to be identified.] > > https://thewire.in/192796/partha-chatterjees-statement- > name-shame-campaign/ > > Partha Chatterjee’s Statement on the ‘Name and Shame’ Campaign > BY PARTHA CHATTERJEE ON 31/10/2017 • LEAVE A COMMENT > SHARE THIS: > > inShare > > More > “I believe it is fair for me to demand that the nature of the allegation > against me be made known to me so that I could make a specific response to > it,” says the noted scholar. > > I recently came to know of a circulating spreadsheet that claims to be a > list of Indian male academics who have been accused of sexual harassment. > > I find that my name occurs twice in that list. > > In the first instance, my institution is named as the Centre for Studies > in Social Sciences, Calcutta, with the figure 1 under the column “Number of > victims”; the rest of the columns including “Description of complaint” and > “Year of violence” are blank. > > The second entry mentions my institution as Columbia University with the > “Number of victims” column left blank.
