Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, December 08, 2024: Discourse by Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj

Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, December 08, 2024: Discourse by Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj

Since the 2024 General Election results have been declared, questions have been raised about the way mainstream media had represented the Indian voters' sentiment. We want to highlight the work of a media collective, ChalChitra Abhiyaan that works in Western Uttar Pradesh, and recorded people's discontent about the government.  Suno India's Menaka Rao speaks to Nakul Singh Sawhney, a documentary filmmaker who made several films including the widely acclaimed Muzaffarnagar Baaqi Hai on the religious riots that broke out in UP's Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts in 2013. He is the founder of the film and media collective ChalChitra Abhiyaan based in West UP. It is  a collective that trains youth from marginalised communities in filmmaking and media. His upcoming film is on the historic farmers movement called - A Million Churnings.  Nakul talks about how in large parts of Western UP where they report from, people have switched to consuming news on YouTube and how there is massive distrust towards the mainstream media.  References https://chalchitraabhiyaan.com/ Trailer- A Million Churnings... || लाखों मंथन... || ਲੱਖਾਂ ਬਗਾਵਤਾਂ...  - A CCA production CCA - ChalChitra Abhiyaan - YouTube  See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

With only months to go for the crucial Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections, the ongoing farmers' movement gained a fresh impetus as lakhs of farmers gathered in Western UP's Muzaffarnagar district in a formidable show of strength. Seething with anger against the government, they said they are here fighting to “save the nation”. The kisan mahapanchayat as it has been termed, was called on 5 September, by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of 40 farmer unions that has been spearheading the farmers' protest for the last nine months over the three contentious farm laws passed by the Centre. Despite several hundred deaths during the course of the protest, farmers have made it clear that they won't budge until all the three laws are repealed and a legal guarantee is provided for MSP. But as the logjam with the government continues, the kisan mahapanchayat comes bearing political implications, as farmer leaders have now also vowed to take on the BJP and oust the Yogi Adityanath government from the state. “We have kicked off ‘Mission UP and Uttarakhand' from this stage. We will not let BJP win the elections," a statement by the SKM read. The choice of venue for this mammoth gathering also holds vital importance, as the deadly Muzaffarnagar riots of 2013 was seen to be a turning point that helped the BJP make inroads UP and eventually win the 2014 state elections.  But raising chants of "Har Har Mahadev" and "Allah Hu Akbar" from the podium, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait said that farmers wouldn't be polarised over communal politics, as he pledged to unite farmers of all creeds and oppose the BJP. Although Tikait didn't indicate any plans of joining electoral politics, what kind of an impact and what scale of an impact is the farmers' movement likely to make in the UP polls? Will the combination of Jaat and Muslim voters change things for the BJP? In this episode you will hear voices of farmers from ground zero.

Reflecting on what she gathered from this reporting experience, she says, “As a society we have a long way to go. I honestly don't have much hope.” Uttar Pradesh is also facing a “hidden water crisis”, particularly in Muzaffarnagar. In this context, Akanksha highlights Monika's report on the Third Pole that tells us how sugar mills are responsible for the degradation of groundwater in the region. Monika collected water samples from a Muzaffarnagar home which the Third Pole had analysed in a lab. The water was found to contain the Coliform bacteria and very high levels of inorganic salts such as calcium, magnesium, sodium. “There are so many patients with tuberculosis there, so many patients who have gastrointestinal diseases, so many patients with kidney diseases. So if you go there, every house has some problem, every house has a patient,” Monika says.This and a lot more as Akanksha, Aishwarya and Monika talk about what made news, what didn't, and what shouldn't have.Tune in.

Yeh Jo India Hai Na – Is our police really so incompetent? It is impossible to believe that Delhi Police is so bad at their job? It is impossible to believe that Delhi Police failed miserably at dealing with the violence in northeast Delhi because of sheer incompetence? Look at the long list of mistakes that the Delhi Police made in the wake of the violence in northeast Delhi, pointed out in media reports and by former senior police officers. Is it really possible that the Delhi Police is so incompetent, so partisan, so leaderless? Many of the Delhi Police's acts of omission, a lot of this baffling incompetence, is the Delhi Police actually following orders. This is the sad fact. Political leaders practically asking the police to look away as communal violence and casteist violence unfolds. Be it Delhi in 1984, Mumbai in 1992-93, Gujarat in 2002 or Muzaffarnagar in 2013. Host: Rohit Khanna Editor: Varun Sharma Producer: Rupsha Bhadra

In Muzaffarnagar on December 20 last year, the UP police said, protesters “armed with weapons” indulged in rioting and arson in protests against the new citizenship law. In the FIR filed at 2.30 am on December 21, police named 107 people, charging all of them with attempt to murder. But the FIR had one glaring discrepancy: it made no mention of when and where the weapons were seized by the police. Kaunain Sheriff, who reported on the story, joins us on a call to talk about the FIR, the serious concerns that the investigation raises and what the police is now doing to make the charges stick. Next, Ritika Chopra, talks about why the EC wants to link voter cards with Aadhaar numbers, the concerns that it raises and what the Supreme Court ruling says about it. And last, Amitabh Sinha, explains why ISRO is developing the ‘half-humanoid’, Vyommitra and how it will help in the Gaganyaan mission.

On Monday, the National Statistical Office released data that showed that the retail food inflation has risen to a six-year high of 14.12%. On the first segment, Indian Express's Rural Affairs Editor, Harish Damodaran talks about what has led to this rise, when it is likely to decline and whether the government can do anything about it. Next, Kaunain Sheriff explains why the UP police is struggling to make charges stick against people who had been accused of rioting during the anti-CAA protests in Muzaffarnagar and why the police's investigation now raises serious doubts. And last, how the Srishti Institute of Art Design and Technology in Bengaluru will remain shut for two days over an incident related to an anti-Modi graffiti.

India's new Citizenship Amendment Act has sparked protests across the country. Its stated aim is to offer sanctuary and Indian citizenship to people fleeing religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. But critics say it undermines India's secular constitution and may also affect India's own Muslim population. Clashes between protestors and police have led to violence and even deaths, and accusations that the police have carried out attacks on Muslim property.

Out of all the states, Uttar Pradesh has been the worst affected by the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. So far, 19 people have been killed, of which at least 14 victims were Muslims who died due to bullet injuries. In at least two cases, the police have admitted to firing in “self-defence”. In this episode, we first talk about Muzaffarnagar which saw a major crackdown by the police after protests turned violent last week. Next, we discuss how the UP government has responded to the protests and the actions that it has taken so far. Amil Bhatnagar and Maulshree Seth join us to give insights.

Noor Mohammad was walking home after reading Namaz when he was shot. The 26 year old from UP's Western Khalapar was first admitted to a hospital in Muzaffarnagar. They referred him to a hospital in Meerut, sixty kilometres away, where he was declared dead. Like Noor, at least 18 people have lost their lives in the anti-citizenship amendment act protests that turned violent in Uttar Pradesh in the past week. One among them, was an eight year old boy. Most of the dead have two things in common.  The first, that they're muslims and second, that they were killed by “firearm injuries”. Including UP, at least 25 deaths have been reported in the protests across the country. So why has UP witnessed such a high number of deaths? Who's responsible for the heightened tensions and violence in the state? We travelled to the heartlands of UP to find out.Host & Producer: Vishnu GopinathGuests: Shadab Moizee, The QuintAishwarya S Iyer, The QuintAditya Menon, The QuintEditor: Shelly Walia

Our students continue to amaze us in their examination results, with so many of them scoring close to perfect marks in their board exams. These are the same cohorts of students that have been declared largely unemployable. Still, not just the highest scores continue to soar, but also the pass rates continue to rise. There is clearly something happening here that enables such incredible marks. Interestingly, the toppers this year are not from the big city famous schools, they are from from little known schools in Ghaziabad and Muzaffarnagar. Also, the Humanities now deliver scores as high as science subjects breaking the barrier of subjective marking. Listen to the full story here!

The latest episode of Reporters Without Orders features our host Cherry Agarwal, along with Amit Bhardwaj, Rohin Verma, two-time Ramnath Goenka awardee Rahul Kotiyal, and Anoo Bhuyan from The Wire.The podcast kicks off with a discussion on media's narrative around Akbar Khan's lynching in Alwar. “If you go through our story, we have actually demolished the police's version of what happened that night, point by point," says Amit. He also points out the importance of the three hours that elapsed between the incident and the time taken to reach the Ramgarh CHC.Cherry adds, “What I found missing from the larger media narrative was that the two accused were moving around with the policemen.” Amit weighs in to add that the media's narrative changed on July 22 -- the blame shifted from the gau rakshaks to gau rakshaks and the police.Rest of the panel weighs in too. Anoo adds that she didn't feel the issue had been obfuscated in the English print and online media, while Rahul emphasises the need for minutely questioning the police's version of events.Amit expresses his concerns over the disturbing parallels that exist between Akbar's case and Pehlu Khan's case.Subsequently, the panel discusses media's coverage of #Section377. Anoo weighs in on the problems that exist across Indian news organisations and stresses upon the need for more inclusive newsrooms.Rohin concurs with Anoo, and points out that sometimes a callous attitude is adopted by the media in its reportage on LGBTQ issues.Speaking on the issue, Rahul points out the clear division that still exists between Hindi and English media's reportage of the issues related to Section 377. Nevertheless, he says, “things have gotten better”. The panel also discusses if reporters are equipped to handle sensitive conversations.The gang also discusses the state of health journalism in India. Anoo details the challenges faced by health reporters in India, with people still having regressive attitudes and at times, treating it as an extension of 'Lifestyle and Wellness' reporting.Rohin points out the hazards of what he calls “baba ji ki booti" reporting, which is reportage done at the cost of important issues like the death of children in Bihar from Japanese encephalitis.The panel also discusses how Muzaffarnagar case was under-reported.

Saba also briefly describes the farmers' coalitions and the constant splitting of party members from the Congress that kept it at an unstable position in UP. “Most of us who follow politics seem to believe the change happened with Mandal and Mandir…[however] The history of this [coalitions]… goes back to the late sixties,” she says.Abhinandan asks Anand whether coalitions can form a “stable government”. He also asks him about Bihar politics. “Coalitions depend on the reciprocity of interest,” responds Anand, and further mentions that politicians must embody reciprocal interests in case situations for a coalition arise. He also mentions that the only benefit with “stable governments” is that the policies for different stakeholders are kept constant and that these stakeholders know what to expect from the Budget.Anand also talks about the “dramatic stage in Lalu’s family”—sibling rivalry between brothers Tej Pratap Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. Saba seeks Anand’s opinion on Kanhaiya Kumar contesting from Begusarai. He thinks Kanhaiya Kumar has a chance and remarks: “Anyone who comes from Bihar in his twenties is a careerist.” He also mentions the demographic factors, political history of Begusarai and determinants of other contestants like Giriraj Singh and Tanveer Hasan.Further, Abhinandan asks Saba about the election campaign in UP. She responds: “there is no one campaign …the demographics are changing seat by seat." She lists a few unexpected elements that have happened like the SP and BSP coalition, Priyanka Gandhi’s arrival, Muzaffarnagar’s muslim vote turn-out and the likes.The panel discusses the spread of propaganda through popular culture like Eros Now’s series Modi: Journey of a Common Man and Omung Kumar’s movie, PM Narendra Modi. Manisha says: “EC’s model code of conduct applies to the Government that it cannot use Doordarshan to propagate Narendra Modi’s speeches,” as that uses taxpayer’s money. However in the case of such movies, “…These are private citizens who can launch a movie whenever they want to.”“The role of propaganda or any form of political communication can be of a force multiplier…it cannot win you elections,” remarks Anand. He believes that the consumptions of news and the influence it exerts on the voting decisions of people is not directly correlated. Saba, however, disagrees. “There is too much data to the contrary to show that television slants and propaganda influence voters,” says Abhinandan.With reference to Congress’ manifesto on AFSPA, Manisha tells us that it reads: “they will remove immunity for enforced disappearance, sexual violence and torture,” and the panel believes it to be “absolutely reasonable”. Anand mentions that the manifestos are majorly for electoral significance and academic value, however, with the proliferation of media there has been many discussions on the issues that gives various undertones to it.Other topics broadly discussed in this podcast include NaMo TV, Vivek Oberoi’s appearance in news interviews, a few election speeches made by different politicians, references made to various historical events in the politics of UP and Bihar, Mayawati’s affidavit and many passing anecdotes given by our NL gang.
