Martyr’s Day: Recalling Gandhi’s Vision of Freedom and Liberty as Creating an Inclusive, Plural, Tolerant India with a Sense of Humour!

On 30th January, 2021, we mark the 73rd anniversary of the very date when Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by someone who did not share his vision of an inclusive and plural India. The PUCL would like to mark this important date by remembering the values which Gandhiji stood for which are under

threat today.

We want to remember a Gandhiji which the current establishment would rather forget, namely someone who was deeply committed to the ideal of ‘political freedom’ which was not just ‘freedom from the British’ but a

51 Veez Konkani

commitment to fundamental values and principles. For Gandhiji, “Civil liberties consistent with the observance of non-violence are the first step towards Swaraj. It is the breath of political and social life. It is the foundation of freedom. There is no room there for dilution or compromise. It is the water of life”.

It is this commitment to civil liberties which we need to uphold in the contemporary context.

An essential dimension of civil liberties is the freedom of speech, expression and association- all of which are under attack today. We live in an egg shell democracy where ‘hurt sentiments of a community’ as well as state intolerance of criticism are reasons to shut down speech.

The words of Gandhiji give us a sense of moral clarity on how we should approach this question of a state and community quick to take offence to speech they consider ‘offensive’ or ‘seditious’. As Gandhiji put it: “Liberty of speech means that it is unassailed even when the speech hurts; liberty of the press can be said

to be truly respected only when the press can comment in the severest terms upon and even misrepresent matters…. Freedom of association is truly respected when assemblies of people can discuss even revolutionary projects”.

This commitment to speech as form of truth telling to the state, where the individual lays bare the injustices of the state is best seen in the famous Ahmedabad trial when Gandhiji was prosecuted for sedition. Gandiji had written a series of articles lambasting the colonial state making the case that, ‘We are challenging the might of this Government because we consider its activity to be wholly evil. We want to overthrow the Government. We want to compel its submission to the peoples will. We desire to show that the Government exists to serve the people, not the people the government”.

For this writing Gandhiji was prosecuted under Sec. 124-A IPC, for sedition, which under law is ‘exciting disaffection against the state’. Gandhiji’s response in Court was to plead guilty and make a

52 Veez Konkani

statement which challenges the sedition law under which he was prosecuted. He says: “Section 124-A under which I am happily charged is perhaps the prince among the political sections of the Indian Penal Code designed to suppress the liberty of the citizen.

Affection cannot be manufactured or regulated by law. If one has no affection for a person or system, one should be free to give the fullest expression to his disaffection, so long as he does not contemplate, promote or incite violence... But I hold it to be a virtue to be disaffected towards a Government which in its totality had done more harm to India than any previous system”.

One hopes that the message of Gandhiji resonates far and wide, reaching the ears of those in power that ‘affection cannot be manufactured by law’ and that if the citizen has ‘no affection’ towards the state, she must be free to give vent to that ‘disaffection’ as long the expression is non-violent.

Another aspect of Gandhiji we wish

to remember is that when the British enacted the Rowlatt Act which authorized preventive detention and denied detainees the right to legal representation, Gandhiji was outraged. He began the nationwide civil disobedience movement to repeal the draconian Rowlatt Act as according to Gandhiji the state had no right to lock up its opponents without trial and without legal representation.

Today we have in place a law which in every way parallels the Rowlatt Act, namely the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). The state has used it as a tool to detain its critics as seen by the arbitrary and malicious arrest of sixteen human rights activists in the Bhima Koregaon incident as well as the continued detention of the constitutionally minded and democratically committed antiCAA activists as well as human rights activists in all parts of the country including Kashmir. The state has more recently invoked these provisions against the farmers who are protesting against the farm laws as well. In short, the message is clear. Opponents of the state will be

53 Veez Konkani

targeted with the draconian UAPA. Those arrested have not been released on bail and some of them have spent over two years and more in jail. Remembering Gandhiji today is to commit ourselves to fighting against this unjust law and demanding `repeal of the UAPA’ and the release of those unjustly incarcerated.

Finally, in remembering Gandhiji we would not like to forget that Gandhiji was not just a brave freedom fighter with an indomitable commitment to the basic freedoms which define what it is to be human, namely the freedom to think, the freedom to protest and the freedom to worship, but also a human being with an impish sense of humour.

Sarojini Naidu jokingly called him ‘Mickey Mouse’ because of the way his ears stuck out and he himself was not averse to cracking jokes.

When he met King George V and a reporter reputedly asked him why he had so little clothes on, Gandhi is said to have remarked, ‘The King has enough clothes on for both of us’.

Why we would like to remember the mischievous Gandhiji especially today is because, Munawar Farooqui, a young comedian from Gandhiji’s own state, languishes in jail because he dares to crack jokes at the current political establishment. Ironically Munawar was arrested by the MP police for a comedy programme which did not even take place! The dark tragedy of the police abuse of law is mirrored by the High Court refusal of bail on the ground that no one can be permitted to offend religious sentiments, unmindful of the fact that the alleged offensive statements had not been made. It is a sad commentary of our democracy that today comedians of all stripes and hues find themselves under unprecedented attack as the state has lost its sense of humour and comedy is criminalised.

We would like to commemorate the values Gandhi stood for by demanding that the state ·

Repeal the UAPA

· Release all those falsely arrested under UAPA

· Stop using UAPA as a tool of harassment

and over a hundred organizations and #REPEALUAPA

· Respect the constitutional right to freedom of speech and expression

It is unfortunate that journalists have to live with a tension rather than a pension. The current trend of journalism that has spurred the upliftment of society is threatening to undermine the well-being of society. If the press is to remain strong, then the media will have to act in a manner that does not betray the confidence of the public. It should be the duty of every journalist Rons Bantwal said in his presidential address.

Though the global pandemic made it quite challenging to keep our students motivated towards

learning, the technology and online tools for communications gave us the way in pursuing our mission of keeping students interested and engaged towards learning. The Department of Chemistry at St Aloysius College (Autonomous), Mangalore has been organizing

Graduate students, followed by welcome address by Dr Ronald Nazareth – HOD of UG and PG Chemistry Department where he said “This College is known for all round development of the individual, promoting extracurricular activities, along with achieving academic pursuits and with your presence in our campus for the first time after 10 months we are sure that we are gradually creating more and more opportunities for the students to come into the campus. Department of Chemistry, St Aloysius College, Mangaluru believes that the basic science especially Chemistry is the way ahead in research and every other walk of life. The Department is involved in Chemistry Popularization programmes in the past few years. As a result of this, there increasing trend in the students opting for Basic Sciences and this year the science courses in the College reached the full strengths in all the sciences departments for undergraduate programmes. It is heartening to observe that many academically

oriented students take up basic scienceand also the college continuously organize programmes to give them a direction to choose their career in science”.

Dr Nazareth further said,” I feel proud to say that St Aloysius College is ranked 22nd at the All India Level for Science programmes and these programmes are ably guided by our Directors Dr John D’Silva at the UG level And Dr Richard Gonsalves at the PG level.

Today a lot of debate is going on the concern that basic Science seems to be losing out to other disciplines, particularly the professional courses in attracting students. Even though the basic science stream has ample career opportunities, the widespread impression among students is that unlike professional courses, a career in basis science is not lucrative.PreUniversity students are the right beneficiaries of a programme that can help them think beyond professional courses as a career”.

SDM College, Ujire was the Chief guest. Fr Dr Praveen Martis SJ, Principal St Aloysius College (Autonomous) presided over the programme; Dr Ronald Nazareth, Head of the Department of UG and PG Chemistry and Dr Roshan D’Souza, Coordinator were present on the dais.

Addressing the young minds chief guest Prof Shivarama Holla said, Igniting the young minds is the most important that is what we have been doing all these years right from the year after completing MSc. After which I began my teaching profession. Professional courses such as engineering, medical, etc. is one of the setbacks for chemistry education. He encouraged the students to take up basic sciences and have career in the same.

Moreover, various Nobel Laurette’s inspiring stories were shared by him as how people took interest in dayto-day life where you have science coming in.

Rev Fr Praveen Martis SJ, in his presidential remarks said, “COVID-

19 has taught us lot of things. In spite of having advances in chemistry, science and technology we still have a long way to go. I am sure young youngsters like you in the near future can make a difference. We are proud to be chemists and chemistry is part of our life and the ones who have chosen chemistry we are truly enjoying we know that everything part of our life is Chemistry. We have great personality Alfred Nobel, Michael Faraday who inspire us to take up the field of science and do a wonderful work.I compliment the department of chemistry for their great efforts in organizing this Fest, which has received tremendous response this year with 15 colleges participating online mode. Chem Connect is indeed a name kept for all the budding scientists here.

Many more attempts like this will boost students to consider basic science as a career and will definitely combat the general decline of students taking basic science.”
