**PRIMARY DOCUMENT #1: Report**

** EXPLANATION: **The Indian parliament should immediately repeal the colonial-era sedition law, which local authorities are using to silence peaceful political dissent, the Indian government should drop sedition cases against prominent activists such as Dr. Binayak Sen, Arundhati Roy, and others. In two recent cases, in New Delhi and Chhattisgarh, the authorities have pursued sedition charges against peaceful activists, despite a longstanding Supreme Court ruling that prosecution under the sedition law requires incitement to violence, which was not alleged in either case. Its kind of like the same old story the government always not allowing peaceful protest and trying to hear what the people want to say or contribute, maybe if the government of all the countries should try and listen ; that could change the various countries in many ways (socially, economically, and politically). India: Repeal sedition Law

**PRIMARY DOCUMENT #2: Report ** **EXPLANATION:** The report documents the situation on the border region, where both Bangladesh and India have deployed border guards to prevent infiltration, trafficking, and smuggling. Human Rights Watch found numerous cases of indiscriminate use of force, arbitrary detention, torture, and killings by the security force, without adequate investigation or punishment. In this report it is telling us how the border gates are being very tense lately due to the amount of criminal offenses being displayed. But to the state where they kill any suspect is a bit overboard,trying to protect their country is a great thing, but they shouldn't bring sorrow into the lives of innocent people.

**ARTIFACT #1** :



EXPLANATION:  Caste system is an issue that has being going on in India particularly for centuries ; and nothing has being done to stop it. Millions of Indians have being affected by this "Caste System" people are supposed to have a choice to decide on how to live their personal lives, but this is were culture and religion comes in, see, it seems to me that the people value their religion and beliefs more than the westernized or modern way to live, which is much easier and efficient for everyone else. If that was the case then no one can blame anyone for their lives because that's how they chose, but in the sense of caste systems, everyone is depending on something or everything. And I feel bad for those that have a dream to become something great in life, they cant move up or down because of the control over their lives. This should stop. Im sure the caste system isnt used in Mexico, Nigerian or China. **ARTIFACT #2: Human rights in India CNN report ** **EXPLANATION: ** This video shows us how police men are ignorant to the fact that fellow citizens torture themselves when suspected of any crime saying "this is the bad guy let's kill him", but it is against the law for such acts to be portrayed in the community, it seems to me that the the people are taking laws into their own hands ; and the government do nothing about it, or just don't want to do anything about it. **ARTIFACT #3: Law against human trafficking ** **EXPLANATION: Basically this video tells us how the government is getting more involved in the lives of the people, they are enforcing an "anti-trafficking law". I think this is a start to enforcing the human rights law in the country, maybe criminals would fear this new law and would change their ways ; helping improve their own country. ** **Next page - 500 word essay **
