Khap panchayats have 'cultural' purpose, no need to ban them, Arvind Kejriwal says

NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal, the new political star whose call for clean politics has struck a popular chord, has said he would not ban the illegal village courts because they had a "cultural" purpose despite their harsh treatment of women.

Kejriwal, who became chief minister of Delhi after his one-year-old Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) swept to power last month, will now contest the general election due in May. His party's key anti-corruption platform is seen as having considerable appeal among urban voters.

Many urban Indians had hoped the 45-year-old's progressive social politics would include a strong agenda for women's empowerment. But his stand on village councils - unelected all-male bodies which have issued many misogynistic decrees, including ordering 'honour killings' - contrasts with that of some women's groups who want them dismantled.

Their diktats have ranged from banning women from wearing western clothes and using mobile phones to ordering the killing of young couples. Some councils have demanded that the minimum age of marriage be lowered to 16 from 18 for girls and 21 for boys as a way of coping with an increase in the number of rapes.

"No, it is not a question of banning these panchayats," Kejriwal told Thomson Reuters Foundation late on Monday, referring to " khap panchayats", the name given to village councils in rural areas of north India.

"Khap panchayats are a group of people who come together. There is no bar on people to assemble in this country ... (But) whenever they take a wrong decision, whenever they take an illegal decision, they ought to be punished," he said.

Powerful village councils have governed the rural landscape for centuries, keeping a conservative grip on rural society that not only clashes with the current more liberal attitudes towards women, but also challenges the law of the land.

Acting as de-facto courts for millions, they settle disputes on everything from land and cattle to matrimony and murder, helping maintain social order in a country where access to justice can be slow and difficult for the rural poor and uneducated.

Last week, 13 men were arrested after they were alleged to have gang-raped a 20-year-old tribal women on the orders of a village court in West Bengal as punishment for having a relationship with a man from another community.

The case made waves, underscoring how sexual violence has become a serious social and political issue since the Delhi gang-rape incident in December 2012, an attack that sparked nationwide demonstrations.

Attack on African women

While the punitive edicts issued by these courts have been condemned by the Supreme Court, criticized by the media, slammed by feminists and even deemed unlawful by powerful politicians, the councils continue to act with impunity, unchallenged by police and government.

This is largely due to their influence over millions of rural voters, making political parties reluctant to challenge them for fear of losing support.

Kejriwal — who hails from Haryana, one of the states where such councils are prevalent — has shaken up Indian politics, promoting an image of equality for all and avoiding the displays of power beloved by many Indian VIPs, such as expensive official cars and promising voters cheap water and electricity.

Yet many are still unclear about AAP's women's rights policy, which has so far been confined to tackling the rise in reported rapes by holding police more accountable and setting up a Women's Commando force in the city.

"You can't have a situation that women are getting raped again and again everywhere and no one is accountable," said Kejriwal, referring to the recent gang-rape of a 51-year-old Danish tourist in New Delhi.

"The Fundamental Rights written in the Constitution are basically the soul of our Constitution. It says the right to life with dignity. 1,600 rapes have taken place last year. What happened to the right to life with dignity of those 1,600 women?"

Activists have welcomed his insistence on tackling sexual violence against women, but say they are dismayed not only by the lack of clarity on issues such as economic and political empowerment of women, but also by some recent incidents.

Earlier this month, Kejriwal was criticised by women's rights groups for backing his law ministerSomnath Bharti, who led a mob which is alleged to have illegally detained and harassed a group of African women on suspicion they were part of a drugs and prostitution racket.

Another member of AAP's leadership, Kumar Vishwas, was forced to apologize after video footage emerged from 2007 in which he made a racist and sexist joke about nurses from Kerala.

"On the question of gender, AAP are not unlike the other major political parties in India," said Kavita Krishnan, secretary of the All India Progressive Women's Association.

"They have not broken new ground, but have remained very carefully within the paradigm of protecting women and have not entered into the terrain of actually challenging patriarchy."

To make things even quicker, if you're visiting a .com address you can type Facebok and then press Ctrl + Enter to type out the full http://www.Facebook.com address.

• Quickly move between the fields of a web page

If you're filling out an online form, e-mail, or other text field you can quickly move between each of the fields by pressing the Tab key or Shift + Tab to move back a field. For example, if you're filling out your name and the next field is your e-mail address you can press the Tab key to switch to the e-mail field.

If you search for "computer help" with the quotes around the search query this will only return pages that actually have computer and help next to each other.

Tip: Many new computer users also don't realize that in every search box you can press enter instead of having to move the mouse button over to the Search button.
