The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) has become one of the most controversial laws, both in India and the world. A few NGOs and human rights activists have described it as draconian, alleging that it gives the armed forces unrestricted power to ‘arrest’ without warrant, ‘destroy property’ and ‘shoot to kill’, besides providing them with complete immunity. The loud and continuous clamour against the Act has drawn the attention of various international organizations. The UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, Christof Heyns, has recently called for the repeal of the law, stating: “AFSPA allows the state to override rights. Such a law has no role in a democracy and should be scrapped.” On the other hand, the armed forces hold that the AFSPA is necessary for tackling the growing menace of militancy and protecting their men from the unnecessary harassment caused by litigation. General V K Singh, the former chief of army staff and now a cabinet minister, has emphasized that the AFSPA is a ‘functional requirement’ of the armed forces. This is the first book in India not only to attempt a complete analysis of the various provisions of the AFSPA, but also to provide an insight into the legislative efforts of other democracies to meet the challenges of growing terrorism. It delves into cases of human rights violations in which members of the armed forces have been implicated, and at the same time, argues that it is equally important to safeguard the human rights of the members of the armed forces. In order to help find an amicable solution, the author makes a few recommendations for the consideration of the government and armed forces.

AFSPA violates basic human rights. Like PSA, it should be termed as lawless law and of course draconian. We have heard a lot about AFSPA. People of Northeast states and J&K are bearing the brunt on this law from last many years. Thousands have been killed and tortured. Hundred have disappeared. The question is why this law still exists? Why government has not done anything to repeal it? It is known to all that people detest AFSPA and are continuously raising their voice against its revocation. However, the important factor which isn't to be overlooked is the efforts of social and civil activists and media in highlighting the issue. Although it is clear that people living in states of North east and J&K have expressed their displeasure about AFSPA, the opinion is divided in mainland India. Indians living here are not opposing the revocation of AFSPA. The reason for this is: they don't know what AFSPA is all. What powers a soldier has in area which is AFSPA is implemented. They think that opposing AFSPA is like opposing the army, opposing AFSPA is like initiating a war against government and due to their lack of knowledge, they miss the reality. Whose fault is this? I can't blame the common people because they do not get any chance to know what AFSPA is all about. It is here that the role of media and activists come into play. The activists and media have a role in social reformation. Many things, which were once considered sacred and untouchable, have changed in the recourse and they bring many positive reforms in society once they truly work on some issues. But we should accept that activists and media have not done much on the issue of AFSPA. Though regional media many times bring to fore the atrocities committed under grab of this law from time to time but unfortunately national media has been so vocal. Many organizations and activists raise their voice in support of AFSPA victims, but they could not bring any change or attract the attention from policy makers. The ignorance is due to lack of awareness among people. No organization/activist/media works in spreading awareness among common people about this draconian law. Media has a role in generating awareness on large scale. Media mostly work with its audio visual impact, which is more powerful and cover large number of people. Activists, on the other hand, can work on grassroots levels. They can work in places where media has no excess. Hence, it is joint effort that can bring change and spread awareness on the issue. When world is on the path of democracy, AFSPA like laws are unacceptable and unjustified. The time has come when people assume power, people's voice be heard. It is time to express solidarity with those have suffered due to this law. AFSPA must be repealed, but that can be done when we raise our voice collectively and spread awareness. Social activists and media should join their hands and fight for a cause. In democracies, people are real source of power. It is time to believe and follow democratic principles. Lets come together to fight for a cause, for a better democracy, for a secure life.

An overarching exploration of the Indian state's approaches, laws, and organizations that maintain order and contain violence. Maintaining order and containing violence-the core constituents of internal security-are fundamental responsibilities of any government. Yet, developing countries find this task especially challenging. In Internal Security in India, Amit Ahuja, Devesh Kapur, and a cast of leading scholars on the subject focus on India's security and the threats it faces. Since Independence, the Indian state has grappled with a variety of internal security challenges, including insurgencies, terrorist attacks, caste and communal violence, riots, and electoral violence. Their toll has claimed more lives than all of India's five external wars put together. As the contributors in this volume analyze how the Indian State has managed the core concern of internal security over time, they address three broad questions: How well has India contained violence and preserved order? How have the approaches and capacity of the State evolved to attain these twin objectives? And what implications do the State's approach towards internal security have for civil liberties and the quality of democracy? A major reinterpretation of order and internal security in India, this book sheds light on an underanalyzed issue of global import given the changing nature of threats that states face.

India’s vibrant civil society sector has become a powerful symbol of political participation in the country. It comprises a wealth of media organizations, caste and religion based associations, farmers groups, labor unions, social service organizations, and an almost limitless number of development organizations. Given this vibrancy, it is difficult to grasp the characteristics of civil society at the transnational or even the national level. Delving beneath the progressive surface to the local level, one finds a murky and multifaceted world of competing interests, compromises, uneasy alliances and erratic victories. The Politics of Collective Advocacy in India critically examines the enormous gap between the ways collective action in India is studied and the ways it operates on the ground. It identifies what influences the relative success or failure of different movements; the tools activists use to overcome obstacles; the traps that derail efforts to frame, politicize, and act on certain issues and assumptions about particular forms of action. The authors synthesize the experiences of a number of organizations and movements to identify the most effective tools that civil society actors at all levels can use to achieve positive social change.

In today’s tempestuous environment, the issues of indiscipline, corruption and criminality in the armed forces reflect broader issues of military ethics, culture and leadership. A military leader has to motivate his followers to achieve maximum results with minimum friction within the group. The ability to motivate men stems largely from the ability to understand them. It is time for military leaders to do some soul-searching on the components of military ethics. The book argues that the existing legal and policy framework is inadequate to regulate behaviour in the barracks as well as in conflicts. It recommends reforms in the military legal system, incentives, practices and training. This book is for policy makers in the armed forces, military officers, military lawyers, academics, journalists, and those with an interest or professional involvement in the subject.
