North, India – When everyone escaped, entered the well to hiding from the forests and near the villages or the government officials, Mohammad Dinu stopped.
Its village, capital, New Delhi, about 5 km from New Delhi, in the state of Haryana, North India. (Miles 56 miles), November 9.6. The police were surrounded by the police on that cold night. Ask them: People in fertile age should gather together in the village field.
Civil independence was suspended during the state of the national emergency imposed by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the national emergency. Thousands of political opponents were imprisoned without prosecution, otherwise the Rambanktius press sensor was sensored and the support of the World Bank and the US economic incentives, India started a greatly sterile program.
Dinu and his 4 friends were one of his goals. They were pushed into army vehicles and taken to non-managed sterilization camps. Dinu, it was an “sacrifice” that saved the village and his future generations.
“When everyone was running away to save themselves, some elders (village) realized that if no one was found, they would create a big, long -lasting trouble,” Dinu remembers sitting on a torn wooden bed. “So, some people in the village were collected and given to them.”
“We saved this village with our sacrifice. Look around, the village is full of God’s children today,” he said in the late 90’s.
Since the world’s largest democracy in the world has been introduced in the emergency in June, June is the only person in the world, Dinu is the only person who was forced to northern as part of a sterile project.
There were more than 8 million men Forced to follow the tubes During that period, March 1977, when an emergency situation was picked up. These included only 6 million men in 1976. About 2,000 people died in surgery.
Five decades later, those scars live in North.
‘A cemetery, just peace’
In 195 2, India became the first country in the world to accept the National Family Planning Program, just five years after the independence of the British. At that time, families had the idea of encouraging not more than two children.
In the 60s, at that time, when the birth rate for each woman was close to six children, the Indira Gandhi government started taking more aggressive measures. India’s prosperous population was viewed as a burden on its economy, which increased by average percent per cent from the 1990s to 1990 1990s.
To the west that view is shared: World Bank Loan India $ 66m for sterilization initiatives. And the United States assisted food for starvation Indians on the success of the population.
But in the event of an emergency, all democratic inspections and balance were removed that the Indira Gandhi government went to the override and forced to implement the government officials to implement the official officials.
The quota of how many people would have to be sterilized by the government officials were given. Those who failed their target failed or faced threatening to withdraw from a job. Meanwhile, irrigation water was cut from villages that refused to cooperate.
The security forces also resisted on Those, in the northeast village, which mainly had a Muslim population, which was targeted by many communities. At that time, Muslims in India were significantly higher than other communities, which focused on the widespread sterilization activities for the members of the religion.
In the street adjacent to Danu’s house, the 13 -year -old Mohammed Noor was sleeping in his father’s hands in his father’s hands, some of which were running horses. His father fled towards the nearest jungle and Nur ran inside.
Noor remembered, “They broke the doors and everything on their way; they crushed all of what they saw,” Nor remembered. “They mixed sand in flour to worse our lives. There was no house in the village that could cook food for the next four days.”
Noor was taken to the raid, taken to a local police station and beaten before his departure. He said he was considered very young as a tube as he was under 15.
On the night of that fear, in the village, it is now said that local folk art was also born: Abdul Rehman’s words, then the head of the village. “Out of our town, no one remembers this name, but we do,” said Nur’s childhood friend Tajmul Mohammad. The two are now 63 years old.
After raiding North, many officials came to the village and asked Rehman to give some people. “But they rejected them and they rejected them, ‘I could not keep any family in this place’. Nor did not agree to give Rehman to the men in the neighboring areas, who took refuge in North.
According to a local inferior legend, Rehman told the officials: “I will not give a dog from my area and you are demanding humans from me. Never!”
But after raiding the concept of Rehman, he could not read in the village that was in the mourning condition, Nur said. Hookah??
He said, “People who escaped, or the police did not return for weeks,” he said. “The north was like a cemetery, just silence.”
In the subsequent years, the result became more visible and terrible. Neighboring villages do not allow marriage to men in the northern, even those who were not sterile, some broke the existing investment.
“Some people (men in Northern) have never been able to recover from this mental shock and have been nervous or annoying for many years of their lives,” said local social activist Kasim. “Stress and social prohibition killed them and reduced their lives.”
Echo in today’s India
Today, India is no longer forced Program of population controlAnd the fertility rate of the country is now more than two children per woman.
But the atmosphere of fear and intimidation that marking the emergency has returned to a new incarnation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Emergency for the renowned Indian social scientist, 75 -year -old Shiv Vishwanath, helped maintain dictatorship.
On June 5, 555, in the Allahabad High Court, Indira Gandhi was found guilty of misusing the state system for winning the elections of 1971.1 in the wake of the political opposition of the students and the resurrection of the resurrection. The result disqualified her for six years. Thirteen days later, Gandhi announced an emergency.
Vishwanathan told Al Jaizira, “Emergency situation created an emergency and it created an emergency.” “In fact, emergency conditions have created an emergency in today’s India. It was the foundation in modern northern-India.”
Indira Gandhi’s loyalists compared it to the Hindu Devi Durga, and with the phonetic people, the Indian Dev has compared the present Prime Minister, like the supporters of India, the country, as supporters of Modi.
While the culture of Indira Gandhi is increasing, “the country lost the feeling of understanding,” Vishwanathan said. “Due to emergency, dictatorship became the means of stewardship.”
Vishwanathan believes that even though the emergency has been increased in 197 in 197, India has shifted to the entire dictatorship. “Each of them contributed that all the ways from Indira Gandhi to Narendra Modi are democracy and created a dictatorial society.”
India has come down rapidly on the democratic index and press freedom charts, since Modi came to power in 2014, political dissatisfaction and journalists in jail and imprisoning journalists and imposing curb on speech.
Free Speech Collective, who advocates for expression freedom in India, said Geeta Sheshu, a coffeelander in this group, said that the emergency year and today’s India is the way in which the mainstream media has entered.
She said, “Then, and now, in the negotiation of the people’s information, the impact is felt,” she said. “Then, civil independence was suspended by law, but today the law surgery has been performed. Despite the formal announcement of emergency situations, today is being experienced today.”
Asim Ali, a political analyst, a defined heritage of emergency, is “how easily the institutional check in the face of a fixed and powerful executive leadership”.
But another Legisi is the next successful response, he said. In 1977, Indira Gandhi and her Congress party were voted out in power in the landslide, as the opposition underlined the government’s extremist -collective sterilization drive on the campaign pitch.
Ali said, “Like the 1970s), whether Indian democracy is able to go beyond this phase and can be re -emerged (after Modi),” Ali said.
‘Seven generations!’
In November 1977, Dinu said that he was the only pregnant wife, Salema, who was sitting in the police van when he was taken away. Salima was at home at that time.
“Unmarried or undoubtedly many men begged the police to let them go,” Dinu remembered. None of the 14 friends of Deonu’s 14 did not let go. He said, “Nasabandi aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahesis for Jasne Natkari Ko Har Rat Parash Kiya Hai,” he said. .
Eight days later in the police custody, Dinula was taken to a sterile camp at Palwal, near Northerwa.
A month later, after he returned from the tube, Salema gave birth to his only child.
Today, Dinu has three grandchildren and many grandchildren.
He said, “We are saving this village,” he said. “Otherwise, Indira would have set fire to this village.”
In 2024, Salima died after a chronic illness. In the meantime, Dinu enjoys his longevity. He once played with his grandfather and now he used to play with his grandchildren.
“Seven generations!” He entered the cold drink of the bubble from his plastic cup. “How many people have you seen you enjoy these privileges?”
