'Indian judiciary is facing a huge credibility crisis. While earlier it succumbed to external pressures, this time its own internal contradictions are surfacing. It had ensured a high degree of authenticity and respect but this has now come into question.Earlier, While whispers on its credibility were invariably rejected as emanating from disgruntled sources. Unlike before, these allegations are now coming from leading lawyers, respectable members of the Fourth Estate and judges themselves. Judges at war with their own brethren is now out in the open and points to a new crises and deepening crises. Inheritors of the British stiff upper lip ‘their Lordships’ may now be called upon to adjust their approach.'

A talk followed by discussion on the implications of the recent developments regarding judiciary.

Hyd Metro: How Fair the Fares Are? - A Panel Discussion

The much-awaited Hyderabad Metro Rail was inaugurated by PM Modi on 29th November 2017. The metro is considered to be India’s largest project facilitated via a public-private partnership model.

Unlike its state of the art infrastructure and the 30km route which was open to the public, the fares fixed by L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd is not gone well with the general public. Is Metro Rail for the poor commuters? How will daily commuters cope up with fares? There are also issues with the kind of containers allowed inside the compartments of the Metro Rail. Even if these containers are allowed, it might be charged @ per 10kg. Will there be affordable transportation to the poor daily commuters? The panel will discuss these issues.

In the recent past, Prof Surepally Sujatha, a well known social activist is being attacked, harassed, threatened, maligned and targetted for standing and speaking for the rights of Dalits and other marginalized groups. The vitriol and trolls against her by the right wingers crossed all levels of civility.

We are deeply disturbed by the concerted campaign against Dr.Sujatha Surepally, by the ABVP and other organizations of the BJP. We condemn the casteist and misogynistic language in which she is being abused in the social media by these groups. We think that she is being singled out for her principled stand on issues ranging from illegal displacement of people by the governments to burning of Manusmriti. We strongly believe that false complaints and vicious social media campaigns are not the modes of resolving differences of opinion on political issues. In a democracy, such differences should be resolved through discussions.

Allam Ramnarayana,Chairperson, Press Council of Telangana
Prof Ratnam, University of Hyderabad and many others will speak

In the recent past, Prof Surepally Sujatha, a well known social activist is being attacked, harassed, threatened, maligned and targetted for standing and speaking for the rights of Dalits and other marginalized groups. The vitriol and trolls against her by the right wingers crossed all levels of civility.

We are deeply disturbed by the concerted campaign against Dr.Sujatha Surepally, by the ABVP and other organizations of the BJP. We condemn the casteist and misogynistic language in which she is being abused in the social media by these groups. We think that she is being singled out for her principled stand on issues ranging from illegal displacement of people by the governments to burning of Manusmriti. We strongly believe that false complaints and vicious social media campaigns are not the modes of resolving differences of opinion on political issues. In a democracy, such differences should be resolved through discussions.

Allam Ramnarayana,Chairperson, Press Council of Telangana
Prof Ratnam, University of Hyderabad and many others will speak


Activists across the country are holding meetings to bring the issue to the fore.

Lamakaan invites one and all to this Solidarity Meeting with Prof Surepally Sujatha.

Lamakaan presents Activist in Residence TREPAN SINGH CHAUHAN

Title: READING FROM YAMUNA and HEY BYARI

In 2005 TSC set out to write a trilogy that examines the experiences of ordinary people struggling for statehood. Written from the perspective of Yamuna, a young woman who decides to join the struggle, Yamuna and He Byari bring to life the impossibility of struggle and yet the limitless joys that sustain it. TSC will read excerpts from both novels, speak of the difficulties of writing struggle as fiction and briefly of the last of the trilogy -- Bithabgarasmaan -- that he is currently writing.

About TREPAN SINGH CHAUHAN

TSC is a militant political activist and renowned novelist-poet who has for over two decades now been at the center of grassroots people's movements and a visionary voice on the future of the mountains and it's people. Trepan' started his political life as a young 14-year-old militant with the Chipki movement and by the middle 1990s he and other youth had articulated a new movement - Chetna Andolan - that not only became the 'peoples rights' voice of the Statehood movement but has since its formation articulated a vision of Uttarakhand as an experiment in Social Justice.


Apart from countless popular essays and pamphlets, TSCs short stories, poems, and novels have established him as one of the most important emergent voices in Hindi literature. His five novels -- Sarjan Navyug ka, Yumuna, Bhaag ki phans, He Byari and Darwaze ke Peeche have won him much critical acclaim.
