Dear Sir/Madam,

On the occasion of the International Human Rights Day, Asian Centre for
Human Rights (ACHR) has the pleasure to release the first issue of the
"India Human Rights Report Quarterly" - the only journal providing
comprehensive information about the status of human rights in India.

This issue (146 pages) contains a Special Report on "Arming of the
Maoists"; commentary and analysis on the Food Security Bill, Indian army's
role in Kashmir's Intifada; status of civil and political rights and
economic, social and cultural rights in 27 States; state of the National
Human Rights Institutions; critical order/judgements, and India's role at
the UN and in the neighbourhood. It also contains two field reports
respectively on "Corporate and the Maoists nexus: A case study in
Jharkhand" as part of the Special Report and a fact finding report on
forced eviction from the Dampa Tiger Reserve in Mizoram.

The full report in pdf can be accessed at:
