Episode 04: The Crisis Facing Indian Judiciary
Public trust in the Indian judiciary is arguably at an all time low, argue the experts in this 4th episode of Cine Ink Podcast series 'Police Adalat Aur Insaaf'. 70% of prisoners in Indian jails are undertrials. Most of them are poor. Vacancies at all levels, lack of diversity, under representation of women and marginalised people in judiciary, all point towards a failing state of India's judicial system.
Panellists: Maja Daruwala, Chief Editor of India Justice Report, Vipul Mudgal, Director, Common Cause,, Harish Narasappa, Co-founder, DAKSH, Prof. Vijay Raghavan, TISS-Prayas, and Radhika Jha, Lead Researcher, The Status of Policing in India Report. -
Episode 03: The Shocking State of Indian Jails
Overcrowded jails pose a serious threat to the Indian judicial system as seven in 10 of the people in prisons are under trial. Most of the under trials come from the marginalised castes and minorities, particularly, Muslims, say experts in the 3rd episode of Cine Ink Podcast Series 'Police Adalat Aur Insaaf'. Legal Aid is marred by corruption. Immediate reforms are needed, say the panellists.
Panellists: Vipul Mudgal, Director, Common Cause, Vibhuti Narain Rai, former Director General, UP Police, Maja Daruwala, Chief Editor of India Justice Report, Harish Narasappa, Co-founder, DAKSH, Prof. Vijay Raghavan, TISS-Prayas, Sugandha Shankar, Researcher, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, and Radhika Jha, Lead Researcher, The Status of Policing in India Report. -
Episode 02: Political Masters Do Not Want Police Reforms
Analysts say Indian police has been been turned into a violent and corrupt force by their political masters. One panellist observes the new low is that police itself has started committing crimes against humanity. However, all participants suggest immediate police reforms are needed, including providing better resources and improved working conditions for the police in India.
Panellists: Vipul Mudgal, Director, Common Cause, Harsh Mander, former IAS officer, Vibhuti Narain Rai, former Director General, UP Police, Maja Daruwala, Chief Editor of India Justice Report, Harish Narasappa, Co-founder, DAKSH, Prof. Vijay Raghavan, TISS-Prayas, and Radhika Jha, Lead Researcher, The Status of Policing in India Report. -
Episode 01: Indian Police vs British Raj Police
Indian Police force hasn't much changed since 1947 in its anti people approach, experts say. The other big issue is the lack of diversity in the force, leading to discrimination against women, SC/ST, minorities and marginalised people.
Panellists: Maja Daruwala, Chief Editor of India Justice Report, Vipul Mudgal, Director, Common Cause, Harish Narasappa, Co-founder, DAKSH, Prof. Vijay Raghavan, TISS-Prayas, Radhika Jha, Lead Researcher, The Status of Policing in India Report, Sugandha Shankar, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative(CHRI) and Vibhuti Narayan Rai, former Director General, UP Police.
