Free speech does not include the hate speech. Incitement to an offence cannot be part of

expression right. Provoking communal hatred is unconstitutional for any political party which is supposed to take oath to abide by the Constitution. If true, as it appears to be from the video recordings available on social media, Akbaruddin saying 25 crore Muslims are powerful enough to confront rest of Hindus, is an unwarranted declaration of hostility against a huge population that could attract the penal provision of waging war. At the same time speaking with same vigour and provocation in retaliation to Akbaruddin speeches by Hindu religious leaders is communally problematic. Alleged hate speech by Akbaruddin has provoked multiple charges under different sections of IPC and counter speeches by leaders of other religion, lathi charge, stone pelting etc, necessitating a debate whether political party indulge in anti-religion speech and how far the law allows this hate as free speech?

Provocation extendedEven as Akbaruddin is arrested in several

criminal cases and was given police custody for interrogation, Hindu religious leaders started speaking with same vigour and provocation in retaliation which is becoming communally problematic situation in Hyderabad. Alleged

objectionable remarks formed basis of another spate of hate speech cases against Swami Kamalananda Bharati at three different police stations. Swamy who is on padayatra to protect Hindu Temples allegedly made counter challenges to Akbaruddin. The city police are now busy with investigation of all these cases.

Mr. Mazher Hussain, Executive Director of Confederation of Voluntary Association cautioned the state to check the situation which, if not, might spiral out of control and more and more religious elements can join the fray. Jana Vignana Vedika decried this trend of resorting to provocative speeches as a quick march to fame1.

The arrest and getting jailed is seen as a strategic set up of securing publicity and also political strength. It is unfortunate, while freedom fighters sacrificed their freedom to fight against British rulers, the present day leaders prefer jails for wrong reasons. In the process the impunity is flourishing and people’s peace is suffering. Detention whether pre-trial or post-conviction is neither offering deterrence nor disqualifying the politician from contesting election. The delay in dispensation of justice offers incentive to political popularity through arrest. A politically vested interest is being created in hate speech followed by detention and trial, which was never expected by lawmakers to happen.

A political leader has to be more responsible. For speech not to be criminal it should be reasonable and could be critically constructive, if not, it would attract ‘reasonable restrictions’. Generally hate speech is unreasonable and same by politicians is irresponsible. With increasing incentives for prosecutions and arrests, the politicians are deliberately resorting to hate speech to gain cheap popularity. This is a most unfortunate situation where the ‘law’ fails to fulfill its objectives and criminal justice becomes impossible.

or morality or which undermines the security of, or tends to overthrow, the State.

Though there was no ‘reasonable’ prefixed to ‘restriction’, it was difficult for state to curb expression unless it tended to overthrow the state, which means unless expression is so serious to disturb the state freedom of speech extends to include anything.

After First Amendment, the article 19(2) reads as:(2) Nothing in sub-clause (a) of clause (1) shall

affect the operation of any existing law, or prevent the State from making any law, in so far as such law imposes reasonable restrictions on the exercise of the right conferred by the said sub-clause in the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality or in relation to contempt of court, defamation or incitement to an offence.

The grounds of sovereignty and integrity of India was introduced by the Constitution (Sixteenth Amendment) Act, 1963.

Section 153A is added in Indian Penal Code by Indian Penal Code (Amendment) Act of 1898 with a view to prevent breaches of the public tranquility and to prevent various classes coming into conflict by mutual abuse and recrimination. But this section was extensively amended to prevent communal tensions. Sub-clause ‘c’ is added to this Section in 1972 which intends to punish organization of

Freedom sacrificed for Public OrderIn Brij Bhushan v State of Bihar2, the chief

commissioner of Delhi passed an order of pre-censorship of an English weekly from Delhi called the Organizer from being circulated for its inflammatory comments with respect to the Partition. In the Romesh Thapar3 case the ban order was imposed against the mouth piece of left parties, the ‘Cross Roads’ for being critical against Congress party, while in Brij Bhushan case the order was against the newspaper, mouth piece of right wing organization RSS. As per the order, the editor of the Organizer had to submit for scrutiny, before publication, all communal matter and news and views about Pakistan including photographs and cartoons other than those derived from official sources or supplied by the news agencies, viz, Press Trust of India, United Press of India and United Press of America. The Supreme Court delivered judgment in both of these cases on the same day upholding the freedom of speech and expression and invalidating legal provisions which authorized the Government in imposing ban on communist party’s paper and pre-censorship on newspaper on communal grounds.

The state thought that these two judgments would not allow any control over the press and the Home Ministry (under the guidance of Home Minister Sardar Patel) sought introduction of two grounds – ‘public order’ and ‘incitement to an offence’. Any expression, which disturb the public order or incite an offence to overthrow the state was sought to be criminalized and penalized. Cabinet committee formed by Prime Minister Nehru preferred to drop ‘to overthrow the state’ from the proposed provision. First amendment is passed in 1951 which amended Article 19(2) adding two grounds. With this any writing though it may not overthrow the state could be restricted. Ambiguity in interpreting ‘public order’ has increased the power of state to control the writings and speeches. If the first amendment to Constitution of US is hallmark of freedom of press, the first amendment to Indian constitution reduced the scope of free speech. Public order together with incitement to an offence is constitutionally a legal ground to restrict freedom of speech and expression.

Overall restriction on ‘restrictions’ is introduced with the usage of adjective ‘reasonable’ before word ‘restrictions’. While other sub-articles under Article 19 have this expression, 19(2) did not have it originally.

Before substitution of 19(2) by the Constitution (First Amendment) Act, 1951 the original Article 19(2) was:

(2) Nothing in sub-clause (a) of Clause (1) shall affect the operation of any existing law in so far as it relates to, or prevents the State from making any law relating to, libel, slander, defamation, contempt of court or any matter which offends against decency

exercise, movement, drill or other such activity if intended to use as criminal force against any religious, racial, language or regional group or caste. Even if such act causes apprehension, fear, or alarm or feeling of sense of insecurity amongst members of effected group the penalty can be imposed.

Before it was amended in 1972, section 153A of IPC was struck down as unconstitutional by East Punjab High Court in Master Tara Singh vs State of Punjab4 as it restricted the Fundamental Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression. This happened before the first amendment to the Constitution was passed in 1951. After the amendment the ambit of restrictions was increased and section 153A is validated in Sheik Wajih Uddin v State of Uttar Pradesh5, Kedarnath Singh v State of Bihar6, and Gopal Vinayak Godse v Union of India7. However criticizing the other religion for its negative characters will not attract this section, as held in Lalai Singh v State of Uttar Pradesh8. If the Hindu religion is criticized for untouchability it will be legitimate exercise of free speech right, especially when Mahatma Gandhi himself was criticizing this aspect. As far as the criticism is couched in temperate, dignified and mild language and do not have the tendency to insult the feelings or the deepest religious convictions of any section of the people the section 153A is not attracted9.

Criticism or inflaming hatred?

In Gopal Vinayak Godse v. Union of India, Special Bench of Bombay High Court emphasized that in order to bring a case within the purview of Section 153A, intention to promote enmity or hatred apart from what appeared from the writing itself was not a necessary ingredient. It was enough to show that the language of the writing was of a nature calculated to promote feelings of enmity and hatred for, a person must be presumed to intend the natural consequences of his act. The Special Bench carefully studied the different passages of the book entitled “Gandhi Hatya ani mee” which had been proscribed by the Delhi Administration under Section 99A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 and was of the view that although the language of the book was somewhat heavy and involved, it was not of a nature which could inflame feelings of hatred and enmity between Hindus and Muslims and no criminality could attach to the author under Section 153A of the Indian Penal Code.

Blasphemous libel was considered a serious crime by English jurisprudence during the First World War days. Christian religion was considered the part of the law of the land and the view held by the courts was that any attack on the basic doctrines of Christianity was an offence inasmuch as it tended to destroy those obligations whereby the society was bound together. This view of law was applied with full vigor by the English Courts to protect the society from the fall-out from the disorders, following

the French Revolution. The teachings of French philosophers like Voltaire and Rousseau naturally had their impact on the intelligentsia in England and a spate of books and articles were published by English authors which questioned the basic concepts of the teachings of Christ. The decisions of the English Courts were intended to prevent the disintegration which overtook French society after the fall of Bastille.

Starkie on Libel enunciated the law of blasphemous libel in the following words:

“A willful intention to pervert, insult, and mislead others by means of licentious and contumacious abuse applied to sacred subjects, or by willful misrepresentations or artful sophistry calculated to

If the first amendment to Constitution of US is hallmark of freedom of press, the first amendment to Indian constitution reduced the scope of free speech. Public order together with incitement to an offence is constitutionally a legal ground to restrict freedom of speech and expression.

mislead the ignorant and unwary, is the criterion and test of guilt. A malicious and mischievous intention, or, what is equivalent to such an intention in law as well as morals, a state of apathy and Indifference to the interests of society, is the broad boundary between right and wrong.”

The law enunciated by Starkie was accepted as the correct law by Lord Coleridge, C. J. in R. v. Ramsey and Foots10. Lord Coleridge again applied the same principle in R. v. Bradlaugh11.

Lord Simmer of House of Lords held in Bowman v. Secular Society Limited12 held: “In the present day, meetings or processions are held lawful which 150 years ago would have been deemed seditious, and this is not because the law is weaker or has changed but because the times have changed. The society is stronger than before. In the present day, reasonable men do not apprehend the dissolution or the downfall of the society because religion is publicly assailed by methods not scandalous.”

In Rex v. Lemon13, Lord Diplock enunciated the law thus: “To publish opinions denying the truth of doctrines of the established Church or even of Christianity itself was no longer held to amount to the offence of blasphemous libel so long as such opinions were expressed In temperate language and not in terms of offence, insult or ridicule.”

Discussing several judgments on blasphemous libel, the Supreme Court finally said: It is thus firmly established both in India and in England, that criminality for the offence of blasphemous libel, of criminality under Section 153A of the Indian Penal Code, does not attach to the things said or done but to the manner in which it is said or done. If the; words spoken or written are couched in temperate, dignified, and mild language, and do not have the tendency to: insult the feelings or the deepest religious convictions of any section of the people, penal consequences do not follow.

Dignity of the language used in criticism is deciding factor of the criminality. This decision of the Supreme Court brings back the freedom of speech and expression which is otherwise punished by the state for criticizing the religion. Critical exposure of religious practices is what is required in a scientific society and information world. None should be faulted for questioning the religious fundamentalism. But what happens if one fundamentalist religious criticism attacks and provokes another religious fundamentalism? Should state protect such provocations as free speech or take care of lives of the people around places of worship?

In Azizul Haq Kausar Naquvi v State of Uttar Pradesh14, the Allahabad High Court considered the question of validity of prohibition of the book called “Munaqibe Ahle Bait”. In the introduction of the book it has been specifically stated that it was being written to controvert the erroneous teachings propounded in the book by one Mahmood Ahmad Abbasi which is entitled as “Khilafate Muavia wa

Yazid.” The work of Mahmood Ahmad Abbasi was itself proscribed by a notification issued under Section 99-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. Based on the above reasoning the court struck down the proscription of book ‘Munaiqibe Ahle Bait’.

Speech by MIM leaderThe peace is threatened, four injured following

various developments after strong words and angry sentences were used by a legislator15. The Majlis-Ittehadul-Muslimeen MIM is a major beneficiary of being a minority based party, but believes strongly that it is only Muslim’s party and only Muslims vote them enbloc which gave them political power. With name of religion in its party title, MIM is not supposed to act like a party of Muslims exclusively. One right thinking Muslim leader has rightly said that if several crores of Muslims are safe in India, it was because of secularism of crores of Hindus and other religious people. Asking police to keep off, so that their power is revealed is a most unfortunate provocation which could lead to civil riot but never can be an exercise of civil right.

More than ‘hate speech’, the repeated talk of Majlis MLA Akbaruddin at different places could

be categorized as problematic and quite disturbing speech because it has tendencies to disturb the communal harmony and that necessitated police charging him under various sections of Indian Penal Code.

Nirmal and Nizamabad town police booked suo motu cases against him16. Osmania University police station registered a case following a directive from local court. Second Metropolitan Magistrate Court of LB Nagar issued summons to Owaisi. Another local court directed Mangalhat Police to register a case for speech against a community in Nanded last year. Another court in Nampalli, took note of petition from a complainant and asked him to sanction from the government to prosecute MIM legislator under section 295A IPC. This section deals with deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.

If the legislator or any person does not like Hindu Religion, none will bother. Even if he hates other religion, that might only reflect his closed opinion. Since several trial courts are examining his different speeches to establish their criminality, it is difficult and improper to categorize instantly his speech as ‘criminal’. But as a political leader, does he want to hate majority section of the people? When a particular group of religion is densely concentrated in a locality, majority or minority is just a relative expression where meaning could reverse. Any political party basing its growth on single religion cannot be qualified to represent the people in general because the country and constituency consists of different faiths. Personal faith should not become anti-thesis of living together.

Because of such beliefs and utterances, besides cases for hate speech, for the first time, a legislator is facing charges of sedition, conspiracy and waging war against the nation, which generally and liberally slapped against revolutionary writers, journalists and also innocent commentators on social media without justification, of course.

The police alleging that he conspired to spread communal hatred though his ‘hate speeches in multiple places’ and ‘shared the dais with many people’. The police added Section 124 A (sedition), 120 B (criminal conspiracy), 188 (disobeying the orders promulgated by public servant), 295 A (deliberate and malicious act to outrage religious feelings), 505 (public mischief) in his remand diary. This is in addition to Sections 121 (waging war against the nation) and 153 A IPC (creating enmity between communities) that Akbaruddin Owaisi and others were initially charged with.

The police tried to justify the charges saying: “The conspiracy and sedition section are added as he was going on giving these speeches at multiple places and many people were involved in these. Though the permission was granted for the meeting, the rules were violated for which Section188 was

added”. Supreme Court considered if Section 124A Indian

Penal Code which prescribes punishment for the offence of sedition is violation of freedom of speech guaranteed by the Constitution. It was argued that the provision was violative of the fundamental right guaranteed to the citizens under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. The apex court held that the true scope and content of Article 19(1)(a) can be determined only by reading it along with Clause (2) of the said Article which is in the nature of an exception to the general words used in Article 19(1)(a).

Justice Sinha, held in Kedar Nath Singh v. State of Bihar17:”Any law which is enacted in the interest of public order may be saved from constitutional invalidity. It is only when the words written or spoken etc. which have the pernicious tendency or intention of creating public disorder or disturbance of law and order that the law steps in to prevent such activities in the interest of public order. So construed, the Section, in our opinion, strikes a

correct balance between individual fundamental rights and the interest of public order.” Every speech may not be sedition unless it is understood to have capacity to affect public order.

Multiple speeches and casesThe AP High Court admitted a writ petition

filed by arrested legislator Akbaruddin, seeking a direction to the police not to issue multiple FIRs on his alleged hate speech. Unless offensive speeches are made at different places in different times, there cannot be more number of criminal cases. Only proofs will answer this question. According to Article 20 none could be convicted twice for same offence.

Freedom of speechPublic interest litigation about Akbaruddin

speech seeking a direction to remove hate speech videos from You Tube was dismissed. The petitioner alleged that this video which recorded lakhs of hits within a week would disrupt the communal

harmony. A division bench comprising Justice Sanjay Kumar and Justice L. Narasimha Reddy observed that ordering YouTube to remove Akbaruddin’s speech would amount to violation of freedom of speech and expression, explaining: “There may be people who may feel happy to listen to the speech, while some others may protest; and some others might go through the speech only to know what is happening around them. Banning such post on YouTube is against Freedom of Expression of the people”. The High Court asked: “When Akbaruddin does not have any objection in his speech being posted on YouTube, why the petitioner should have it? If he (Akbaruddin) has any objection, he can as well approach the YouTube management and make a request to remove the speech from internet.”

However, the question that could be raised is: if a criminal case is booked for criminal charge of hate speech, how can that video be allowed remain in public domain with questioned incriminating content? If speech is allegedly capable of provoking violence, war and communal hatred, should that be seen everywhere including communally sensitive places? It should not mean that though speech is capable of causing the communal disharmony, its video is not. It opens new dimension of free speech, though speaker cannot exceed the reasonable limit, the exceeded speech can be heard by the others freely. If it is exercise of free speech by him, can he be prosecuted?

Perhaps the petitioner has to approach the High Court again if the trial court agrees that it is hate speech and punish speaker, and then court might direct the removal of hate speech from social media network. The trial courts have to start trial to ascertain whether the freedom of speech of Akbaruddin is limited by reasonable restriction based on public order and thus it is ‘criminal’ under several sections of IPC as charged by the police. If it is proved to be criminal, videos may not continue to be visible. Investigators and courts have agreed that charge is prima facie established and thus prosecuted. People have freedom to watch the speech without emotions in view of the dismissal of this writ petition. While High Court dismissed this writ petition, the OU Police have issued notice to local TV channel for airing the controversial speeches that Akbaruddin made at Nizamabad and Nirmal18.

Fatal mix of politics and religion and free expression

Such speeches from leaders and representatives would send across the message validating the fatal mix of politics and religion and spur the communal hatred. This is reflected even in the appreciation and claps to the violent remarks made by the accused legislator. Freedom of expression is not supposed to be conduit for spreading hatred and divide the society on communal lines inciting the conflicts.

Besides, the violent consequences those follow Friday prayers in historic Mecca Masjid in old city of Hyderabad on 11th January 2013. It is sad that a religious prayer is followed by stone-throwing incidents, injuries and lathi-charging. The places of worship cannot be centers of provocations and conspiracies of violence.

Prayers to provocationsWhatever may be the verdict of the courts in

these cases, Akbaruddin’s speech remains a blot on the claims and credentials of ‘secularism’ of that party and manifest communal overtone of their political interests. Responding to Akbaruddin speech in almost similarly couched language by Kamalananda Bharathi Swamy has invoked some of these penal actions again. Difference between these two hate speeches is that Mr. Akbaruddin is not religious leader like Kamalananda, which does not mean that later is excused. A political leader has to be more responsible. For speech not to be criminal it should be reasonable and could be critically constructive, if not, it would attract ‘reasonable restrictions’. Generally hate speech is unreasonable and same by politicians is irresponsible. With increasing incentives for prosecutions and arrests, the politicians are deliberately resorting to hate speech to gain cheap popularity. This is a most unfortunate situation where the ‘law’ fails to fulfill its objectives and criminal justice becomes impossible.

The state by not reacting to such hate talks for a long time and coming up now to respond with slapping of several cases including serious penal section of sedition which has potential to send the accused to prison for life will raise a question of law pertaining to rule of law. Only when MIM party distances away from alliance with ruling party, it is exposed to prosecution for such speeches. The question of High Court “is this what you promise to this democratic country which gave a lot to your father, family and you” is appropriate. The answer to this question may not impact the prosecution but this politico-social question should be answered by a political party if it requires support from all sections of people.

Subversive and anti-constitutionalA political party which does not subscribe to

constitutional values and character cannot represent any constituent part of that country. The Election Commission of India should have enough power

to question this anti-constitutional character of the party. If the criminal charges are established the elected legislator should be disqualified to represent the people. If several of legislators and the leader also had the history and character of anti-secular and fundamentalist communal character, whole party should be derecognized and disqualified to contest elections. The people also reject any communal fundamentalist. Not only the state, it is for the people to secure secular fabric of the society by questioning such tendencies and rejecting them in polls.

The coverage of Delhi’s now infamous gang-

rape of December 16, 2012 is something that the media can be proud of. Incessant TV and print focus on the rape and the subsequent protests meant that spotlight remained on one of India’s more sordid secrets – its treatment of its women. Because the media never let go of the story, the political class and officials were under the scanner at all times. The extent of public protests and the media attention forced those involved to take action.

Of course, there was some criticism that the media had gone too far. But perhaps this was one of those occasions where the media’s decision to stay on the story served a larger purpose. Many had become so blasé about women’s issues that the mainstream media shied away from feminist subjects. What new angle was there to this story anyway?

But as it turned out, the deeper you dug, the more muck you found. Crimes against women are at an appalling high across India – rapes, assaults, domestic violence, incest. Patriarchal attitudes from leaders of society meant that the battle for equality was far from over. Rather than depend on our Constitution for guidance, many politicians were happy to look back fondly at the epics to try and limit women.

TV discussions and newspaper columns and articles, as well as the social media, all dwelt on the subject. Young people appeared to be more receptive

to change while old feminists were dusted and brought off their shelves to explain the foundations of the battle. For over three weeks the media did not let go and the country and its women has much to thank it for.

Even while on the horrific gang-rape itself, the Indian media did a good job. The victim’s name was not revealed, in keeping with the law. (The name was finally

made public by a UK newspaper but the Indian media has stuck to anonymity, although some may argue that the labels given to the victim speak of false sentimentality.) The chief minister of Delhi and the police were not let off the hook. The fact that politicians did not understand public anger was also exposed. That the trial has already started – in a country notorious for a painfully slow judicial process – is thanks to the media effectively broadcasting public anger.

In such a scenario, public scrutiny of the media is essential and necessary. The public keeps the media on its toes and the media takes that responsibility to keep the government on its toes. Since the advent and the success of private news channels, TV has also made the media seem like a part of the viewer’s social circle. Newspapers and print journalists can appear to be aloof and lofty but television reporters and anchors enter drawing rooms and bedrooms every day. They become familiar and seem approachable.

The social media – particularly sites like

Facebook and Twitter – allows the general public to make their voices heard to a large, sometimes worldwide, audience. Several journalists also use these platforms to spread their opinions in a way that the mainstream cannot support and often allow. This makes for both a more stringent scrutiny as well as, it has to be said, a series of petulant complaints and insults. People start to imagine conspiracy theories which make the media more powerful than it is and more responsible than it can be.

The media can and does misread its power. Soon after the Delhi rape trial began, the television media shifted its focus to the border skirmishes with Pakistan. Suddenly, TV anchors appropriated for themselves the roles of defence and external

affairs ministers. They wanted immediate action – which in this instance would presumably mean war, surely not a favourable state of affairs or in the best interests of the nation.

The power accrued to the media through successful campaigns gets dissipated with this sort of irresponsible behaviour. Certainly the job of the media is to ask difficult questions. But the role of chief inquisitor combined with chief executioner adopted by television is counter-productive and unnecessary. It is far better to question how people in power are doing their jobs than insist that as a journalist, you know best how they should do their jobs.

The problem again and again comes down to

the way television sees journalism in India – which is often at loggerheads with the way print sees journalism. The processes and checks and balances which print has – as has been discussed ad nauseum in various fora – are practically non-existent in India as far as television journalism is concerned. The competition between the various news channels is so fierce that in the mad, belligerent, disorganised run for the finish line, the truth, facts and perspective all get a little lost. Not that print journalism is free of problems and as news about unnatural phenomena like “paid news” becomes public knowledge, the credibility of all news organisations is at stake.

Hardly surprising that there are now so many media watchdogs, in print and online. Most newspapers will not even hire an ombudsman to deal with complaints and readers’ issues. Organisations like the Press Council of India, the delightful pronouncements of its current chairman Markandey Katju notwithstanding, are toothless ruminants. Instead senior and retired journalists have taken it upon themselves to try and make sense of what is happening.

There is a danger however in taking all public criticism too seriously, even when some of it is warranted. Criticism from within the fraternity is important, criticism from without has to be considered carefully – it need not all be dismissed but cannot be accepted in entirety either. Often, avid consumers of the news media will decide that the news is too full of doom and gloom or that there is no “good news” and other such happy thoughts. These observations have to be taken with a pinch of salt. But when complaints about sensationalism and about trivialisation increase, we have to act before they reach a critical mass.

It is also not possible for anyone to do their job if they are constantly being watched and graded. This is especially true for journalism where the day’s news is a series of judgment calls some of which will do well and others will bomb. It is the aggregate of bombs and successes which have to be judged. Endless scrutiny is an impossible imposition.

Yet today’s world is a watcher’s world. In all that, the media has to watch itself the most. Public attention can be addictive but in the ultimate analysis, it is not all that makes a news programme worth viewing or a newspaper worth reading. It’s that little extra attention to detail, that little extra legwork to get a story, that little fine-tuning of a page or an opinion which it is not so easy for the outsider to understand but might well make him or her more appreciative. The media has to be its own best critic and admirer for it to be most effective.

India needs a better com-munication education

than the one which is currently existing and this is obvious to a curious onlooker. Many leading colleges like the Asian College of Journalism in Chennai and the Xavier College in Bombay have launched communication and Journalism courses and these are meant for graduates and the like. The government run universities offer correspondence courses in various facets of media and these benefit lower economic class of students. The universities offer courses in Journalism and Mass Communication and these number more than 50 in India. The leading national institutes like IIMC offer various diplomas in Journalism and Mass Communication for students and these benefit liberal arts and science students. Now a days, the technical universities like Anna University in Chennai have started media sciences courses and these also help in Journalism education. However, a comprehensive Syllabus is needed to be evolved taking into consideration of the needs of the journalism and mass communication field in a changing digital environment and how these would the country which has 1 billion or more people.

Communication is considered a low key intelligent field unlike medicine, engineering sciences and management and it attracts only those who are left out of these streams during the early period of education. The reason being that the jobs are not that well paying in democracies like the

India and the US and the fields of medicine and engineering attract more well qualified candidates. This situation is however changing in the country with the emergence of the information society in the west during the last two decades of the 20th century. The new media have become big and caters to all digitally oriented people in

India, the US and Europe. The fall of communism in the Russian federation and the emergence of democracies have all given room for better equipping a journalist and communication person in a society such as India. At least, 5 kinds of societies exist in India like the agriculture, information and industries existing together at the same time and this calls for better trained and qualified communication persons in the country.

The journalism and communication education existing in the country dates back to 6-7 decades and do not fully meet the needs of the country. The needs for properly trained communication researcher have been met by the IITs and IIMs the elite institutions in the country. More departments offer vernacular journalism and barring a few many have not taught properly statistics which is needed in communication research. The few who get to go to the US and other western countries for higher education in Communication do not come back and add to the richness of the host nation than to the Development of India. As a result ommunication education is continued to suffer in the country

Towards a Better Communication Education for India

S. Ganesh

The journalism and communication education existing in the country dates back to 6-7 decades and do not fully meet the needs of the country. Thus, there is a need to revamp the communication curriculum in the universities and introduce better quality teachers.

Page 32: S OF EEDOM - Kerala Media Academy January...P\phcn 2013 $ ]pkvXIw 1 $ e¡w 10 $ hne ` 1008 Hate Speech: Civil Right or Civil Riot? Madabhushi Sridhar 15 Public attention on the Media

with hardly a few which could offer a wholistic education.

Thus, there is a need to revamp the communication curriculum in the universities and introduce better quality teachers. The UGCs move to insist PhD for teaching in the absence of NET should be welcomed by one and all and this will do much to benefit communication and journalism education particularly. With the government implementing 6th Pay Commission for university teachers, we can attract better qualified candidates for teaching in Journalism and Communication departments. The pay in the private sector aided and unaided colleges have gone up considerably and this will surely benefit those who are left out in the university selection panels.

What needs to be done? It is a good question to ask and the answer lies at looking into Inward and correcting a few things. With the advent of the information society and globalization, the need to keep up with the world standards at large have emerged and this goes for communication education also. The syllabus has to be broadbased meeting everyones needs at the national level and international level and importance has to be given to growing needs of the nation. The trained graduates would need to know how to write well, to produce and to research properly and this has to be emphasized at all levels and at all universities. The need to meet the industry demands have to be augmented and more importantly to meet the needs of social sector and the government at large. One should have theory plus practical experience to do proper justice to ones job. This has to be emphasized at all level and more training and workshops to be organized for journalists and communication educators at national level and international level. The existing government schemes to send teachers and scholars abroad for Commonwealth fellowships,

the Fullbright and the Chevening Schemes need to be fully utilized by the scholars and teachers themselves and the authorities need to earmark a percentages of positions in these schemes for the field of mass communication at large. Moreover, we need to bring in all kind of scholars from the west and the US and from the emerging democracies like the Russia and the east to these schools so that the students and lecturers get the maximum benefit. Thus, a need to give full importance to communication education at the national level and the present, past and current students to be involved in the debate.

The library facilities need to be strengthened in the existing institutions and more scholars from all hues and cries need to be encouraged to write books and article in English and vernacular languages in the field of communication and mass communication. More grants are needed to be provided to write books and more organizations are to be involved in the entire process in keeping view of the needs of the country at large and the profession at stake. The government needs to constitute a committee to study the learning needs of the profession and provide web print and electronic solution to the profession and the educational scenario at large.

A concerted effort is needed to be made by one and all to empower tomorrow’s communicators to serve the society profession and the country as well as the world at large. This will help in solving the communication teaching problems, students problems and the professions problems in becoming a better and ideal communication scholars and professionals of tomorrow.

nostalgia for a more ‘democratic’ tomorrow. Others who demonstrated similar fluency with the language and courage of their convictions were – Sarala Debi, Hironmoyee Debi, Rasa Sundari Debi and so on.

Aunt Kolli from Navsari in Gujarat wrote in StreeBodh – a Gujarati journal known for its focus on social reforms – that it was wrong to blame women for marital strife and for the unhappiness of men. She pointed out that men visit nautch girls and spend entire nights drinking and being entertained by these women not in response to their wives’ behaviour but due to their own inclinations for such enjoyment. The article was written in 1866. Streebodh (spelt Streebodhe in English) was the first journal for women in India published in Gujarati from January 1857 until the late 1950s. It was formed to offer suitable reading matter for Parsee and Hindu women, indirectly making it clear that families going through modernization defined its target audience. Sonal Shukla in her paper Cultivating Minds - 19th Century Gujarati Women’s Journals, (Economic and Political Weekly, October 26, 1991) states that with time, as its founder-editor Kabraji died and his daughter Shirin, followed by his daughter-in-law Putlibai, took up the editorship, StreeBodh changed its profile in terms of (a) appearance, (b) language and (c) content. “It reflected changes that were taking place during the nationalist struggle and the new role assigned to middle-class women within it,” writes Shukla.

Flash forward to the present time. On April 3, 2002, Sonal Kellog, a woman reporter and her male colleague from a Surat-based newspaper were pounced upon by the police when they went into Gomtipur to interview women who had been attacked by the police themselves. Before she could take down their testimonies, policemen surrounded them both. When they went to the Police Commissioner to complain, they were told he had no time for them. Barkha Dutt of Star News covered the Kargil war, reporting directly from the front in the midst of shelling and firing with the mercury dipping down to minus centigrade.

Journalism, for women journalists, is no longer confined to ‘soft’ news critiquing the proliferation

of beauty contests or a single case of domestic violence in the neighbourhood. Women journalists in India, both in the print as well as in the electronic media, are known for their commitment to their vocation, for their integrity in not ‘selling out’ to propaganda or cheap p.r. for a price, and for their moral courage in facing the dangers of war coverage or the coverage of a communal riot. When the PTI recruited more women than men among their trainees a decade ago, begun with the system of entrance tests and interviews at entry point, Sujata Madhok of the Delhi Union of Journalists said, “PTI seems to have chosen so many women because they did better in entrance tests, also because women have acquired a reputation for being more hardworking and disciplined.”

The history of women in language journalism in our country dates back to more than a century. Interestingly, most of their writing applies to our social ethos today as much as it then did. Krishnabhabini Das, one of the first women writers in Bengal, in her article entitled Shikshita Narir Pratibader Uttar, (Response to a Protest from an Educated Woman) in Sahitya, (2nd year, No.10, 1891, pp.474-478) wrote –

It is unjust to say that only men should cultivate that intelligence, that God has given both men and women. God could never have imparted such a great gift without a noble end in view.

Jnanadanandini Debi, in Stri Shiksha (Women’s Education), an article published in the prestigious Bharati in 1882 (BS Asvin, 1288) offered a manifesto arguing the cause for women’s education. She argued for a desegregation of the sexes, and proves how education is both the cause and the effect of this process. In Shekele Katha (Tales of Bygone Days) Swarnakumari Debi praised the reforms introduced by her father in the areas within the domestic sphere marked out exclusively for women. Yet, she did not forget to add that this ‘women’s world’ did have its share of happiness and joy creating a space for

Like the editorial stance of StreeBodh in its later years, the profile of the woman journalist in India has also changed. Tavleen Singh (then correspondent with The Sunday Telegraph), who won the Sanksriti Award for Journalism, in one of her most memorable pieces, expressed her intense shame for being born a Sikh herself after she had met Bhindranwala and his followers at the Golden Temple.

She wrote another historic report on the murder of Sumeet Singh, editor of Preet Lari. Anjali Puri, then with the Indian Express, covered of the elections in Pakistan extensively, which returned Benazir Bhutto as the first woman PM of Pakistan. Sheela Barse won the PUCL Award for her contribution to investigative journalism focussing on human rights. She trod the rather uneven and rough terrain of women prisoners in the country, going from one jail to another, crossing insurmountable hurdles on the way, going on to examine human rights violations in Hyderabad prisons on juvenile offenders, then exploring the dingy and dark world of child labourers in the machine looms of Bhiwandi, near Mumbai.

Shahnaz Anklesaria, erstwhile of The Statesman and then with the Indian Express, also won the India Today-PUCL Award for human rights journalism for her “devotion to a free and open society with which she laboured to secure and defend civil liberties and human rights of the disadvantaged in the country.” Shahnaz got the award for the whole body of her work in contrast to the previous winners who won the same award for individual stories. Along with the late Neerja Chowdhury (also a PUCL Awardee) Shahnaz toured Punjab soon after Operation Bluestar. She is one of the first Indian journalists to report on the local response to the government’s action.

From a report by Usha Rai upon her return from the first International Women’s Media conference held in Washington D.C. in November 1986, we learn that the director of development at the Columbia School of Journalism states that between

1976 and 1986, 60 per cent of students at journalism schools in the US consisted of women. Yet, there remains a greater discrepancy in the salaries of men and women journalists employed in the print media than in radio or television. Nearly 90 per cent of editors responsible for women’s news are women. Of the 400,000 professional journalists in China, one-third are women who write about everything from politics to science. According to Vesna Prijam, an economic writer for Yugoslavia’s Tanjug, most successful women journalists in the country were either single or divorced.

Women’s journalism has three dimensions. One concerns women actively involved in contributing the power of their voice and perspective to journalism. This is journalism by women. The second relates to the portrayal of women in the print media. This defines ‘journalism about women.’ Examples of this could be found in coverage of women’s issues, news reports about a woman having been raped or murdered, some woman having bagged an international award, women portrayed in photo features, cartoons and comic strips, and so on. There is a specialized third dimension, which segregates the woman question through a proliferation of women’s magazines across the board. This purportedly targets women and could be termed ‘journalism for women.’ This paper aims to retrace its steps to recall the beginnings of women journalists in India – the area spanning journalism by women bringing us to the present day when the gender of the journalist is completely beyond question when it comes to discussing merit, efficiency, contribution and integrity.

The writer is a freelance journalist, author and film scholar based in Kolkata. She has authored 17 books and contributed to many edited compilations on cinema, family and gender. E-Mail: [email protected]
