Too many injustices

I have too many things going on my mind right now. Bt i need to choose one so as to continue writing. Well, I think this pne is worth discussing, the National Family Planning Programme run during the emergency by Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi, is quite infamous. I had read about it time and again. But today I came across this article ( I have an exam tomorrow, so it was part of syllabus), probably a research paper by an author called Emaa Tarlo, which talked about how notorious it became with time.

First of all, it was not just forced sterlizations, it was the added punitive measures like forcing your friends, family and strangers to go through sterlizations. Sanjay Gandhi the force behind this evil setup, forced DDA( delhi development authority) to offer plots for rehabilitation only to those who would get sterlized or would motivate others to go through it. Not just common people but government servants were also forced through it, they either had to do it to themselves or to motivate others. This unleashed a different kind of violence where your very manhood or womanhood came under threat from society. It was the chaos of Hobbes’state of nature, the only difference was it was being imposed by the State itself, which is suppose to be a protector. 

Tarlo talked about this co-victimisation of people one at the hands of authority and other by their own folks. This violence was unjustified and unaccounted for, even today. When government can pay compensation to big corporates for their losses or politicians or bureaucrats then why the question of compensation for these victims of State violence never arose. But then the list of such victims is not small. There are too many around the world, who have been never given justice for the  genocides, with different facets, inflicted on them by thier own protectors.
