Why support Hari Singh?

Auden in his poem, ‘The Unknown Citizen’describes the life of an ordinary soldier/citizen who is a Conformist obeying the societal laws and performing every duties of a citizen without any question, and at the end dies an ordinary death. Likewise, 1993 India witnessed citizens of India dying an ordinary death in the name of communalism and casteism. Auden mocks at such unnecessary death and questions the freedom and happiness of these mentally chained citizens. His poem directly hit to the State that they prefer people who have no individuality and have no desire for self-assertion.

But one man who stood against the poisonous State of affairs was Hari Singh. He was a man of individuality and self-assertion who understood the system properly and took a step for the safeguard of his motherland. The true patriot in him raised his conscience and urged himself to go against the system for the sake of freedom, peace and harmony. But, the blindfolded government allegedly called him a hijacker for a bogus offence and sentenced him lifetime prison. This is what Auden has tried to demonstrate in his poem when an ordinary man wants a Utopian state but is reduced to a position of cog in the wheel.

Hari Singh like any other ordinary men was a teacher living a simple life, bored all family and societal duties and helped people in their needs. Everything was going smoothly when suddenly he became a victim of corruption. Out of 10 people in India, 9 people become a corruption victim and still their lips remain sealed. Hari Singh brought the issue in the front and fought for his rights.  A true nationalist, he wanted to save the holy soil of motherland but in return landed on the unholy soil of Tihar jail.

Hari Singh proved to be a good citizen having a good conduct even after he joined the league of prisoners. Having strong Gandhian values, he motivated the prison inmates, became an inspiration to all and stole hearts of the jail administrators and eminent visitors. His strong ideology of helping others and serving his motherland was taken notice by all. If he would be a hardcore criminal, there should be one such evidence of having bad records in jail. Ironically, he was awarded 3 times for his ‘excellent conduct’ in jail.

People of India, 67 years of Independence we have been celebrating every year and so we celebrate the republic day of being a part of a democratic nation. Democracy is always for the people, of the people and by the people. Democracy is about the freedom and happiness of every citizen. Hari Singh just wanted to remind the politicians and government of India not to forget the spirit of democracy.

His only crime-FIGHT FOR HUMANITY has become a laughing stock on a national level. The fight for corruption started 21 years ago. He was the unknown citizen but his exceptional motive had resulted in spending 21 years in jail. We the people of ‘New India’ know that we are not living in a totalitarian society but in an educated and a mature society where there is a voice for everything. Let’s be the voice and give Hari Singh the life which he wanted for us.  This is why you must support him and help him get justice. Justice for Hari Singh.

Stand for Justice otherwise nobody will stand for you

 “Nothing in this world compares to the comfort and security of having someone just holds your hand.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

 

Hari Singh’s fight was never against a person or a system, it was only against the culture of corruption that crept into the system and ruined the essence of humanity. What he did might be defined as a threat to a set jurisprudence, but your sense of humanity nullifies if you can’t respect the integrity of being human & the value of a human life. Hari Singh has been a man of principles who believed in the very idea of justice which guaranteed equality, absolute equality & no discrimination at all. He encountered a chain of unfortunate events that shook him to the core and he decided not to remain silent and went ahead to be vocal against the prevalent injustice, which was being done to innocent citizens in name of faith & religion. Every one of us knows that no religion preaches violence so the very term religious violence happens to be a myth; all that exists is the vested interest of a handful of people who intend to manipulate religious sentiments of a common man in order to reap benefits out of them.

Hari Singh stood against this very conviction of ill minded people that India could be manipulated & they could ensure gains from it. What he did to stop those communal forces was a bit unusual but the motive was noble, he just wanted to save the harmony of his country from getting blown away in the winds of violence. Corrupt governance added fuel to the violence that broke out in early 90’s across the country & as a result India suffered some very fatal wounds, recovery from which continues till date. Hari Singh had sensed the danger & knew it well that India stood vulnerable to communalism. He became vocal & broke his silence. He organized public meetings to address the common man and informed them about the danger they were sleeping on, but all went in vain & he was disheartened.

He reached out to take a very enthusiastic step which only a man who loves his nation would understand, and ended up causing a stir in the air. Courage is of no value unless accompanied by justice; yet if all men became just, there would be no need for courage. Can courage be punished if it is for the future of a country? Stop injustice to the man who has risked his life for you. Stand up against the injustice he has been facing for last 21 years. Stand up to tell the world that we believe in equality. Stand up and speak up, because if we didn’t speak today, corruption won’t let us speak tomorrow.
Ensure Justice for all. Ensure Justice for Hari Singh.

Join our movement if you want to fight against injustice

“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
  1. I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
  2. I shall fear only God.
  3. I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
  4. I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
  5. I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.”
                                                                                                             ― Mahatma Gandhi
A man of Gandhian thought & values, Hari Singh, has always put nation first, he harnessed the sense of sacrifice in him, and has been too prompt to act upon them all. As Gandhi ji faced numerous difficulties in battling the violence of British with his lone weapon which was non-violence, Hari Singh, too had his share of adversities, whether it was taking revolutionary steps to guarantee the integrity of India, his motherland or the life imprisonment he has been serving in Tihar for 21 years. He knew it well that if a path is smooth & easy it won’t get him to the destination ever, and if it was a thorny path, walking on which he might get hurt, he would reach the ultimate goal of universality, howsoever long the journey is. Peace & prosperity for all was always his primary concern for the society he belonged to, but he never knew that his love for nation would be wronged someday, and his enthusiasm & passion for sacrificing himself would make his life a curse & his family would be left alienated from the society he fought for.

Martin Luther King said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Hari Singh always believed in ‘Janani Janambhoomi Swarg Se Behtar’, and has lived his life in an idealistic manner, making it an example for others to follow. He enacted upon the very principles Gandhi Ji had followed, the path of satya & ahimsa. He didn’t know that society would forget it all and would expect him to echo it too. The message of Mahatma was overlooked and the benefits were being eyed out of the fire which burnt down the philosophies of sacrifice to ashes.

When India suffered a massive communal violence between years 1992-1993, and the government sat as a silent spectator, Hari Singh chose to differ; he chose to speak up, loud enough so that the deaf government could listen. All he wanted was to make the government listen to the agonies of common man, who suffered the loss of life and property during those black days. He wanted to raise a movement against injustice which was being done to the innocent citizens who hadn’t done anything wrong, who were being massacred for no reason, who just fell prey to communal fanaticism.
Hari Singh stood for us, and it’s high time we should stand up for him, for justice shouldn’t be delayed, when he awaits it impatiently. Let not his sacrifice go in vain, let not the voice of truth & justice be silence by the noise of injustice & fallacy. Join our struggle against injustice done to Hari Singh. Ask for justice so that nobody becomes a sufferer Hari Singh has become in last 21 years waiting for fair justice to be done. Justice for Hari Singh.

Human Rights

“The Declaration rests on a basic premise: that when the rights of human rights defenders are violated, all our rights are put in jeopardy and all of us are made less safe.”
                            - Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General September 14, 1998 NGO/DPI Conference


In the academic circles, the release of political prisoners is typically interpreted as a tactical compromise made by countries to counter human rights criticism. Outside academia, non-governmental organizations like Amnesty International have long focused their human rights advocacy on individual cases. Still, the specific circumstances under which international actors succeed in facilitating releases have not been identified. Human rights are thus conceived as universal and egalitarian. In India’s context, Human Rights violation hasn’t been a gross issue but it becomes a problem quite often when the individuals located in the matrix of public & private sectors come to crossroads with social, political & legal systems and the corruption widespread across them & fail. Though, the doctrine of human rights has been highly influential within international law, global and regional institutions, in the policies of countries and in the activities of non-governmental organizations and has become a keystone of public policy around the world. India thus, happens to be an occasional instance of human rights violation, but it’s ironical that whenever some issue is reported, it’s of extreme nature.

The case of Hari Singh could be considered one rarest of the rare case, in which he had been denied his fundamental right to have a fair trial. He was later convicted and awarded a life sentence as his punishment according to the Indian Penal code (IPC). Hari Singh has been in prison for last 21 years waiting for justice; the same is the condition with his family which has suffered a lot on social, economical, and emotional grounds battling everyday’s challenges. Hari Singh has been trapped amidst the uncertainty of crime’s definition, as he just posed to commit a crime but never committed it. The court acknowledged it too, that he did it all to make a political point, as he was disheartened by the events of violence which took the entire country in its stride in the beginning of year 1993.

What he craves for is just the acknowledgement of his intent behind his revolutionary act, and if at all the government gets keen on understanding his case, he will get fair justice. Let’s join hands to convey our message of humanity to the government so that his case must be reconsidered for mercy as he did no crime. Let’s ensure that Human Rights in his case won’t be violated because if it happens, it would bring a bad name to our country & our judicial system. Let’s put our best at work to show the solidarity a patriot needs. Let’s not punish him for any reason. Let’s put a full stop to his & his family’s sufferings. Lets’ fight for what is right. Justice for Hari Singh.







We Want Justice For My Father

A Family Fighting Against Injustice

Leo Tolstoy said, “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

Sometimes our life becomes so unbearable that we can't barely keep going and want to give it all up.   Despair takes over and whisper in our ears that life is meaningless and it is not worth the effort, but we must not pay attention to it because we know where that path leads. My family has been fighting a battle since last 21 years to wash off the blames put on my father as he tried to do something revolutionary to serve an emergent need, something which law addresses as crime. 


My father didn’t get the very ‘benefit of doubt’ the corrupt politicians of India get as protection whenever brought to some court of justice, as the government felt that a crime would have occurred hadn’t the police intervene at the right time. What is the right time, or for that matter just ‘right’?  Was it the right time when police agreed to listen to my father & played foul on him to arrest him and he was sent to jail for a crime that didn’t occur? Or was it, when my father stood up against the demon of communalism and tried to convey a message to the nation risking his life and future and caused a stir in the air, just to cease the corruption & violence? Which was the right time?
My father, Hari Singh, has been a simple man all his life, content with love and respect for his nation. Unaware of the consequences he would face if he risked his life for the nation, his life took an usual turn in March 1993, when he decided to raise his voice against the injustice done to the innocent citizens of his nation, he risked it all, for his nation. He was never a man of khadi or khaki, nor did he aim to, all he knew were his values and principles, which kept him, going in life. My family was unaware too, of all the hardships which were waiting for us, after my father went to jail. Nobody could ever understand what it means to be a family of a man my father is. Every family has its own course which it takes in life to deal with adversities & to enjoy happiness with a sense of togetherness, latter being absent in our case, we were so unfortunate that we had to face all adversities alone.

The governments for last 21 years have been crushing the rights of a prisoner to secure fair justice through free trial, and to prove his innocence, because the law has gone blind. Definitions of crime aren’t clear to the ones who run our system, and they are free to write destinies of individuals as per their choice & pleasure. Where have we come in this race of global development as a democracy? Are we so heartless that we can’t guarantee a family its safety, security, & happiness? Or we just know the worth of a patriot when he is actually no more with us, awarding ration shops & petrol pumps to their survivors? We can’t be that cruel, be with me in my family’s quest for justice. Justice for a patriot. Justice for my father.


Justice for Hari Singh.
