*Stan Swamy’s custodial death ends charade of ‘Gandhi in London, Godse in
Gwalior’*

With a deep sense of pride, the late Chief Justice JS Verma used to recount
how he saved India the embarrassment

having the UN Human Rights Commission evaluate the Gujarat killings of
2002. He told Mary Robinson that it was not necessary, as Indian
institutions ― in this case, primarily the National Human Rights
Commission, which he was heading ―  were on the job and had prepared a
meticulous account of state failure and complicity.

In the case of 84-year old Jesuit priest Father Stan Swamy’s custodial
death, India may have denied itself that luxury. A quick recap: No trial.
No conviction. Father Stan Swamy was interrogated, then dragged to Taloja
jail, away from his home in Ranchi in October 2020, in the midst of a
global pandemic, and held as an undertrial. He was denied a straw ― an
Alzheimer’s patient, he couldn’t drink water without one ― and bail,
despite telling the court that his functioning had been impaired by his
time in jail. He was forcibly hospitalised, at his own cost.

The point was that the state could do so, with the full support of a
judiciary which allowed for 16 human rights lawyers, trade unionists,
activists, writers and intellectuals to be kept in custody indefinitely
despite there being no prospect of an imminent trial. The charges? Letters,
which apparently establish a conspiracy to overthrow the elected
government. In April, a US digital forensic firm

laptop of one of those arrested, activist Rona Wilson, before he was taken
into custody. Now, it turns out, evidence was also planted on Surendra
Gadling’s phone.

In Father Stan’s case, the manner in which he has been accused and
incarcerated leads to a single point – the intentions of the political
project towards independent institutions, the law and minorities.

   any kind. The case supposedly involves the ‘overthrow’ of the Union

   Despite demographic evidence to the contrary, paranoia is seen in several
   BJP states about ‘conversions’, and several anti-conversion laws have been
   rushed through, often as ordinances. The insensitivity of the Indian state
   is not indifference. It signals encouragement to the base of the ruling
   party.

Now, there are consequences. Observers overseas are seeing through the
carefully crafted and duplicitous narrative, in which dissenters are
quietly silenced at home while internationally, India pretends that
