| Selective outrage over Hr cases is dangerous : Pradeep Dutta | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 14: Pradeep Dutta, Senior Editor Times Now stressed upon dangerous ramifications of selective outrage syndrome (SoS) practiced adopted by human rights activists in conflict zones.
He emphasised that selective shedding of tears only exposes duplicity and double standards of people masquerading as HR activists.
Dutta explained this in detail while presenting lecture on topic: Human Rights In Conflict Zone - Tale of Competing Narratives, during refresher course programme organised by Home Science Department in University of Jammu.
Academicians from different educational institutions all over India were part of this programme.
He explained how activists contest, reshape, and reclaim the stories of violence emerging from the conflict zones.
Dutta gave several examples from strife torn areas to explain about the clash and friction of the master-narratives and counter-narratives circulated and mobilized by competing social and political actors negotiating social exclusion and inclusion through their own identity politics.
Exploring the varied and individual experiences of some of activists, Dutta explained, how that helps one in seeing beyond the oft-monolithic international branding of conflict.
He explained how national and transnational debates about violence circulate, shape, and re-territorialize ethnic identities, disrupt meanings of national belonging, and rearticulate notions of solidarity and global affiliations.
Earlier, Prof Samridhi Arora introduced speaker to audience. Lecture was followed by question answer session. |
