A Historical And Theological Evaluation Of The Sikh Gurdwaras Act 1925
by Pritpal Kaur Riat
(2011) This study is a historical and theological evaluation of the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, which was a secular legislation introduced in 1925 by the British administration in India. Through a theological evaluation which engages in the interpretation and application of the Sikh Sacred Scriptures, the study then highlights that there is a contradiction which should not exist between: the content and implementation of the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925; the constitution and actions of Sikh leadership institutions (the SGPC and the SAD); and between the theological teachings of the Sikh Dharam. The study ultimately suggests that there is need for the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925 to be redeveloped so that Gurdwara legislation, Gurdwara management and institutions of Sikh leadership epitomise and are a more authentic reflection of the teachings within the Sikh Sacred Scriptures.

A majority of them are Dalits, so-called untouchables at the bottom of India's caste system.

by Satinder Singh
(1982) Most of the other chapters in the later half of the book are about the views of various individuals most of whom are either crooked politicians or government agents.

The book is poorly researched, mundane writing with a very small bibliography. I would not miss the book or recommend it.

Book Review - Suppression Of Intellectual Dissidence And How The Left-Nehruvian Destroyed Punjab
by Purushottam Kumar Nijhawan
(1997) 'It is truly amazing that that in the past 3-4 centuries; from the Sikh Gurus to the common Sikhs, literally gave their lives in the thousands to protect these two ethno-religious communities namely the Kashmiri Hindu Brahmins and the Punjabi Hindus in general. Human beings with even an iota of morality and ethics would be indebted forever for such ‘a' friendship. Instead these same “two” communities have tried their utmost to bring about the downfall of the Sikhs in every which way. The ungratefulness of these wretches; is simply mind boggling! An intriguing book if one is trying to understand the nature of the political Hindu mindset.'

Breaking The Silence
by Human Rights Watch
(2013) This 82-page report examines how current government responses are falling short, both in protecting children from sexual abuse and treating victims. Many children are effectively mistreated a second time by traumatic medical examinations and by police and other authorities who do not want to hear or believe their accounts. Government efforts to tackle the problem, including new legislation to protect children from sexual abuse, will also fail unless protection mechanisms are properly implemented and the justice system reformed to ensure that abuse is reported and fully prosecuted, Human Rights Watch said.

British Rule In India
by William Jennings Bryan
(1906) Let no one cite India as an argument in defense of colonialism. On the Ganges and the Indus the Briton, in spite of his many noble qualities and his large contributions to the world's advancement, has demonstrated, as many have before, man's inability to exercise with wisdom and justice, irresponsible power over helpless people. He has conferred some benefits upon India, but he has extorted a tremendous price for them.
British Rule In India Condemned By The British Themselves
by Indian National Party
(1915) 'The apologists of the British rule spare no pains in portraying the former Native rule in the blackest characters while they are in ecstacies over their own.

It will be evident to them that India is ruled for the benefit of the British, and the British alone.'

Caste Discrimination - A Global Concern
by Human Rights Watch
(2001) Caste-based discrimination blights the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world, and the World Conference Against Racism should have the issue squarely on its agenda, Human Rights Watch urges in a new report.

The prominence of caste among South Asian diaspora communities is also revealed. The report, which is being released at the nongovernmental forum before the racism conference taking place in Durban from August 28-August 31, clearly shows that caste discrimination is a significant bar to basic human rights worldwide.

Communal Violence And The Denial Of Justice
by Human Rights Watch
(1996) Three years after the deaths of more than 1,000 people in Bombay's worst incident of communal violence since independence, the government of the Indian state of Maharashtra unexpectedly terminated the commission of inquiry that had been set up to investigate the riots. The focus of the Srikrishna Commission's investigation was the violence that broke out in January 1993 and that was directed primarily against Bombay's Muslims. The riots followed weeks of attacks on Muslims in north India in the aftermath of the destruction of a 16th-century mosque in Ayodhya. Labeled as "communal" because the violence involved communities identified by religious differences, the riots were in fact orchestrated events which depended on the connivance or outright participation of police and other officials and political leaders.

Compounding Injustice - The Government's Failure To Redress Massacres in Gujarat
by Human Rights Watch
(2003) The 70-page report examines the record of state authorities in holding perpetrators accountable and providing humanitarian relief to victims of state-supported massacres of Muslims in February and March 2002. More than one hundred Muslims have been charged under India's much-criticized Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA). No Hindus have been charged under POTA in connection with the violence against Muslims. Although the Indian government initially boasted of thousands of arrests following the attacks, most of those arrested have since been acquitted, released on bail with no further action taken, or simply let go. Police regularly downgrade serious charges to lesser crimes and alter victims' statements to delete the names of the accused. Even when cases reach trial, Muslim victims face biased prosecutors and judges. Hindu and Muslim lawyers representing Muslim victims, and doctors providing medical relief to them, have also faced harassment and threats.

Dead Silence - The Legacy Of Human Rights Abuses In Punjab
by Human Rights Watch
(1994) 'The bloody conflict in the Indian state of Punjab drew to a close in 1993, but the restoration of an elected government has not meant the restoration of the rule of law. To the contrary, the Punjab police continue to torture, kill or cause their victims to disappear with impunity. The price of the government's apparent success against the separatists is the legacy of these abuses: a corrupt and brutal police force whose recourse to murder and torture has been sanctioned by the state as an acceptable means of combatting political violence. Dead Silence documents incidents of torture, extrajudicial executions and disappearances by the police, which took place between 1991 and 1993. There is no indication that the government at the state or federal level has made any effort to investigate these abuses or prosecute the perpetrators, even though the identity of the latter is well-documented.

Defending The Earth - Abuses of Human Rights and the Environment
by Human Rights Watch
(1992) Abuses of human rights often exist in tandem with environmental degradation. Suppression of dissent -- often violent -- is frequently employed by governments to silence opposition to harmful political and social policies and development schemes that could not withstand public scrutiny, and to forestall public concern about environmental decay. The case studies in this report demonstrate a linkage between human rights and environmental abuses that is global in scope, occurring in both industrialized and developing countries. Issuing this joint report at the time of the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro will focus attention on the relationship, often causal, between human rights and environmental abuses. We also hope that it marks the start of future exchanges between the two groups of advocates, so that both causes will benefit from an expanded constituency for their concerns.

In Indian prisons there exists a rigid class system that is explicitly mandated by law, where special privileges are accorded to the minority of prisoners who come from the upper or middle classes, irrespective of the crimes they may have committed or the way that they comport themselves in prison.

His death in 1839 found the frontiers of Sikh and British power in confrontation; in the 1840s the inevitable trial of strength brought British crown and East India Company troops into battle against the most formidable Indian army they ever faced. Its story is told here in fascinating detail, illustrated with rare early paintings and with colourful reconstructions of Punjabi regular soldiers and feudal warriors.
