New Delhi: A group of more than 700 academics, activists, artists and others have come together to condemn the harassment and arrests of right activists, academics and lawyers in the Elgar Parishad/Bhima Koregaon case. They have expressed their solidarity with Professor K. Satyanarayana, who teaches at the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) in Hyderabad, and has been summoned for questioning the case by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).Signatories of the letter include renowned names like professors Noam Chomsky, Barbara Harris-White, Jan Breman, Susie Tharu, Sumit Sarkar, Tanika Sarkar, Prabhat Patnaik, John Harris, Gyan Prakash, Rajeswari Sunder Rajan and Utsa Patnaik; leading writers and poets like K. Satchidanandan, Mridula Garg, Geeta Kapur and Gita Hariharan, artists like Sudhir Patwardhan and Vivan Sundaram.Satyanarayana is the son-in-law of poet Varavara Rao, who was arrested in the case in 2018. He was questioned earlier too, and has repeatedly held that he has no connection either to the Elgar Parishad event (which the NIA is claiming was used to plan the violence against Dalits at Bhima Koregaon) or the violence itself. He has also stated that investigators used casteist slurs against him, and that he is being made a scapegoat because of his Dalit identity.Also read: Elgar Parishad Case: NIA Calls Kabir Kala Manch ‘Maoist Front’, Takes Activists into Custody“We see this attempt to harass K. Satyanarayana and K.V. Kurmanath and the arrest of Kabir Kala Manch activists as all of a piece – as part of the frenzied attempts by an insecure regime to browbeat critical and dissenting voices of scholars, journalists and concerned citizens in order to muzzle all kinds of democratic aspirations. We affirm that we stand with them and will continue to support critical voices like theirs, despite the attempts to scare us into submission,” the statement says.Read the full text below.§We, the undersigned academics, journalists and concerned citizens strongly condemn the fresh round of harassment and arrests of academics and activists by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is trying to implicate them in the Bhima Koregaon case. After Partho Sarathi Ray, the NIA has now summoned Prof Satyanarayana and senior journalist KV Kurmanath to appear before it on 9 September. And even as these summons were being served, the NIA has also arrested Sagar Gorkhe and Ramesh Gaichor of the Kabir Kala Manch in connection with the same case.Dr. K. Satyanarayana is Professor at the Department of Cultural Studies at the English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad. He has been instrumental in establishing Dalit Studies as an academic discipline and has a formidable reputation as a scholar and teacher.Also read: Chained Muse: Notes from Prison by Varavara RaoIn a message to friends, in which he shared this news, Satyanarayana has said that he was directed to “appear before the NIA as a witness under section 160 Cr.PC and also u/s 91 of Cr. PC on 09.09.2020. My co-brother K.V. Kurmanath, a senior journalist, was also summoned to appear at the same time and date”. They have been summoned ostensibly to record their statements but it is evident that it is meant to coerce him and KV Kurmanath to make statements that will implicate their father-in-law, the revolutionary poet, Varavara Rao.Satyanarayana has categorically stated the last time his flat was raided by Pune police in August 2018, under the pretext of collecting evidence against Varavara Rao, that he was in no way connected to the Bhima Koregaon case.In his message to friends, Satyanarayana has underlined that the NIA notice aggravates their family distress at a time when, as it is, Varavara Rao’s health condition is not good and the pandemic is fast spreading in Mumbai. There have been worrying reports about Varavara Rao’s deteriorating health condition in the media.We see this attempt to harass K. Satyanarayana and K.V. Kurmanath and the arrest of Kabir Kala Manch activists as all of a piece – as part of the frenzied attempts by an insecure regime to browbeat critical and dissenting voices of scholars, journalists and concerned citizens in order to muzzle all kinds of democratic aspirations. We affirm that we stand with them and will continue to support critical voices like theirs, despite the attempts to scare us into submission.NameProfession/ AffiliationCityAditya NigamAcademicDelhiSubhash GatadeNew Socialist InitiativeDelhiShabnam HashmiSocial ActivistDelhiNivedita MenonProfessor, JNUDelhiRavi SundaramCSDSDelhiRamesh DixitProfessor (retd) , President , Samvidhan Bachao Desh Bachao Abhiyan Uttar PradeshLucknowDev DesaiANHADAhmedabadPeter R deSouzaRetd ProfessorGoaArundhati GhoshCultural PractitionerBangaloreRenuAmbedkar University DelhiDelhiG.
