| General note |
"P.A. Sebastian or Sabby as he was affectionately called, was one of the original human rights and people's lawyers in the country. He was a fearless fighter for human and democratic rights especially for the poor and marginalized. The book will undoubtedly be very valuable, especially for young lawyers interested in rights lawyering." – Prashant Bhushan, public interest lawyers & social activist. "Sebastian's writings will give us strength for the long and unfinished fight for justice in our unequal world." -Shabana Azmi, actor and social activist "It is an invaluable resource both for human rights advocates and students of the political history of modern India." – Anand Patwardhan, documentary filmmaker. The Fight to Win Rights is a collection of Selected Writings of P.A. Sebastian, penned in the corridor of time between March 1980 and January 2011, with a thoughtful introduction by Bernarnd D'Mello. It is a profoundly upsetting characterization of the Indian judicial system in so far as the exploited classes, the oppressed castes, the oppressed nationalities, women, Muslims, and other religious minorities, and Adivasis are concerned. Coming in these dark times when political forces wedded to an 'Indian variant of Nazism' are in power, when human-rights activists are subjected to legal persecution under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, this collection of Sebastian's writings could not have been more to-the-point and to-the-purpose. Bernard D'Mello is a writer and human-rights activist with the Committee for the Protection of Democratic Rights, Mumbai. Among his written works is "India After Naxalbari: Unfinished History" (Monthly Review Press/ Aakar Books, 2018). |
