\nletter last week\u00a0to Prime Minister Narendra Modi holding him responsible
\n for the\u00a0 \u201cterrible state of affairs\u201d in Kathua and Unnao, over 600
\nacademics from India and abroad,\u00a0\u00a0including Noam Chomsky and Lila
\nAbu-Lughod have also written an open letter to the prime minister
\nexpressing their \u201cdeep anger and anguish\u201d over these \u201cmonstrous crimes\u201d
\nand the effort by the state governments concerned to protect the alleged

\u201cThere is little evidence, in government action, of an appreciation
\nof the importance of providing assistance to vulnerable sections of the
\nsociety \u2013 whether through promotional measures aimed at enabling tribals
\n and nomads to have access to forest and common property rights, or
\nthrough preventive measures aimed at discouraging blatant breaches of
\nthe rule of law,\u201d says the letter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
