[edit] Background



The controversial question for BCom students at Newman College, ThodupuzhaT. J. Joseph, a professor of Malayalam language at Newman College, Thodupuzha, set a question in the Malayalam semester examination paper for BCom students in March 2010.





Page-58 of the approved book published by Kerala Bhasha Institute - essay from P. T. Kunju MuhammedIn the examination, question 11 asked students to punctuate a dialogue between a character and God. The dialogue was viewed by some as derogatory.[19] The passage was based on a lecture by CPI(M) leader P. T. Kunju Muhammed and included in a book – Thirakathayude Reethisasthram (Methodology of Screenplay), published by Kerala State Institute of Languages.[19][20] In the original text, the character talking to God was unnamed; in the examination, Joseph is said to have referred to the character as Muhammed, thus making it seem like a dialogue between God and Muhammed.[21]



The local edition of the Jamaat e Islami Hind newspaper, Madhyamam Daily reported the incident,[22] sparking off the controversy alleging blasphemy. Several Muslim organisations protested the alleged defamation of the Prophet Mohammed.[23] The Campus Front, the Popular Front of India's student wing, launched an agitation against the professor.[22] Student groups affiliated to the Indian National Congress and the Indian Union Muslim League also marched towards the college in protest.[24] Copies of the question paper was circulated in sensitive areas by various Muslim organizations.[citation needed]



An all-party meeting called by the District Collector decided to recommend action against the professor responsible for incorporating the question that reportedly hurt the religious sentiments of the community.[25]



The state police registered a case under Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code (for causing communal hatred) against the professor who subsequently went absconding. The police then issued a lookout notice for him and arrested him a week later. He was then released on bail in April. The Newman College authorities also suspended him from the college and apologised for the mistake.[26][27][28][29] His son was taken to hospital after being beaten up in police custody.[30]



[edit] The attack

On 4 July 2010, a group of eight people in a Maruti Omni waylaid the Professor near his home at Muvattupuzha. Joseph was pulled out of his car along with his sister and 85 year old mother. They were attacked with knives, swords, axe and home made bombs. Prof. Joseph’s right hand at the wrist was chopped off and thrown a few metres away in to a neighbour's compound . He has also suffered cuts and wounds in other parts of his body. His left hand from the wrist also have been severely damaged. His sister and aged mother of 85 years old also suffered injuries.[1][3][31] According to police, the attack was carried out by eight member team comprising of Savad of Asamannoor, Pareeth of North Vazhakkulam, Shobin of Kothamangalam, Nazar of Aluva, Shajil of Muvattupuzha, Shamsuddin of Perumbavoor, Shanvas and Jamal.[32]



[edit] Aftermath

A neighbour rushed Joseph to Nirmala Hospital where first aid was administered, while the severed hand was collected and packed in ice. Joseph was taken to the Specialists Hospital in Kochi where he underwent an operation that lasted 16 hours.



Joseph gave a media interview from his hospital bed, where he stated that he had used an extract from a university-approved book on the Malayalam language, and that his opponents did not give him an opportunity to explain the situation. He said that the naming of the village madcap as Muhammad had been done to represent the original author, P. T. Kunju Muhammed. Joseph's family made a statement that they forgive the attackers.[33]



On 24 July 2010, his suspension from the college was revoked by the Mahatma Gandhi University which described the issue as an "unintentional error". The attack on the teacher and his financial conditions were also considered.[34]



On 04 Sept 2010, the management of college terminated Prof TJ Joseph from service with effect from September for hurting the religious sentiments of a community.[35][36][37][38][39] Joseph who expressed grief over the management decision said that he never expected the same. He said that management has given the highest punishment for him and his family.[40]Terming the action of management as irrational, Pro-Left writers, cultural forums and teachers unions came in support of the Professor.[41][42][43][44]

[edit] Response

The Kerala State Assembly raised its voice in unison to strongly condemn the hacking of T.J. Joseph, by fundamentalist elements on the following day.[90]



Various Muslim organizations including the Indian Union Muslim League(IUML) condemned the attacks as "against the tenets of Islam".[91][92] A rally under the banner of Muslim Aiykyavedi (Muslim United Front) was organized the next day in Muvattupuzha and Perumbavoor. They also blocked the local police station at Perumbavoor demanding the release of arrested Popular Front of India leaders. The protest though was dismissed by other Muslim organizations as a ploy by the Popular Front of India and challenged it to name any other organization involved in the protest.[93][94] A meeting of all the major Muslim organizations in Kerala proclaimed that the hand chopping incident has been a shame to the Muslim community in Kerala. They have also decided to isolate radical outfits like Popular Front of India and Jamaat e Islami Hind[95]



The Kothamangalam diocese demanded National Investigation Agency inquiry in to the entire incident. The Bishop of Kothamangalam diocese, Mar George Punnakottil issued pastoral letters condemning the attack on Professor and demanding nabbing of culprits. Prayer meetings and silent protest marches were also organized in various churches and locations.[96] Christian organizations like Global Council of Indian Christians and Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) condemned the act and demanded that the attackers be brought to justice soon and be exemplary punished.[97][98]



The Bharatiya Janata Party set up a four-member panel headed by Mr Harin Pathak,senior Supreme Court lawyer, Pinky Anand, Goa BJP Vice-President, Wilfred Misquita and Advocate Balasubramanium Kamarasu. The Committee met with the members of family of Prof. Joseph to get a first-hand report on the sequence of events during the attack. They demanded a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the incident. Mr Harin Pathak alleged that the Kerala Government had failed miserably in combating terror and the State was becoming a breeding ground for terrorist activities. He also demanded that outfits like the NDF and Popular Front of India should be banned and the State Government produce a white paper on the investigation into terror activities in the state. He also noted that his party would highlight the gruesome attack on Prof. Joseph in the upcoming session of the Indian Parliament.[99][100]



[edit] Media

The Hindu in its editorial said "Freedom of expression has increasingly come under attack from religious fanatics in democratic and secular India and it is the duty of society and the political system to intervene more effectively to defend those who are targeted even if they express unpopular views”. The Hindu also noted in its editorial that "The act of a gang that cut off the hand of a college teacher, by wielding an axe on a thoroughfare in Kerala in broad daylight, had Talibanism writ all over it. This act of barbarism, however, points to the rise of blood-thirst driven by religious fundamentalism that certain fringe elements may be seeking to impose on the State. That it was a planned operation carried out with brutal intent adds to the shock.".[101]



Littérateur M.N. Karasseri, himself a retired professor and someone who keeps tabs on Muslim politics, noted in an Outlook article, “The Muslim youth today are looking for idealism and adventure. They are being misguided by the proponents of Maududism that espouses a do-or-die battle for ensuring hukumathe ilahi (the rule of Allah). The SDPI (Socialist Democratic Party of India), Jamaat (Jamaat e Islami Hind) and several other outfits subscribe to this philosophy. If the rest of society does not realise the inherent danger, more Taliban-model reprisals will follow.” [22]



Progressive Muslim writer Hameed Chennamangaloor says in an Economic Times article, "the circumstances are ideal for fanatics to convince their community members here that the problems their community faces in Iraq or Afghanistan are their own problems. The fact is that the problems of even the Muslims in Kerala are quite different from their community members in northern states. Some of these groups have more funds than even mainline political parties like the Congress or the CPM, and can hire any number of hands".[102]
