[Reader-list] The Indu Anto case

[Shivam Vij]

  Dear all,


Here are 19 stories, links only, about the Indu ANto suicide case.
Indu Anto "allegedly" committed suicide in Sophia College, Mumbai, as
a result of ragging, which, the post-mortem revealed, had been sexual.
Sophia College, Mumbai police, and India's super-fast courts have been
of immense help in booking the "alleged" culprits. Indu Anto's father,
CL Anto is committed against the cause. The PACE Stop Ragging Campaign
would be very grateful to anyone who can help us get in touch with Mr
Anto, who shifted out from Mumbai to his home state, Kerala. after the
event. He flies down to Mumbai every time there is a court hearing.

The stories here should also provoke further thought on the subject of
ragging and sexuality, given that we have been discussing this only in
the context of male ragging.

Complete texts of all these 19 stories is being made available in
another mail in the stopragging mailing list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopragging

If you are looking for a quick overview of the case, see the two
Gunaah.com stories.

If the Indu Anto case still makes headlines it is only because 1)
Sophia College is an elite institution, and 2) Anto's father has been
pursuing the case relentlessly. Anyone remembers the Anup Kapoor
ragging-suicide case in Lucknow? No. An 'enquiry committee' was setup
which was unable to find the culprits and that was that. We are
trying, also, to get in touch with Anup Kapoor's family in Kanpur.
