Coalition Against Genocide

Coalition Against Genocide

The Coalition Against Genocide is a coalition of about 40 organisations mostly based in the United States and Canada, including, among others, the Campaign to Stop Funding Hate[1] and Alliance for a Secular and Democratic South Asia, as well as individuals, who aim to respond to the 2002 Gujarat violence, which they refer to as the "Gujarat genocide", in order to "demand accountability and justice."[2] The coalition of organisations protested against the visit of Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, to the United States in March 2005.[2] Modi was denied a visa and did not visit the US at that time.[3]

However, Indian nationalists accuse Angana P. Chatterji co-founder of this Coalition, of not ever taking up the issue of ethnic cleansing of 7,00,000 Kashmiri Hindus while being sympathetic about a few hundred alleged human rights abuses of Kashmiri Muslims. Also, in spite of coming from a mixed Hindu-Muslim family background she supports Independence of Muslim majority Kashmir instead of remaining as an integral part of India, though that may mean total destruction of 35% Hindu-Sikh-Buddhist minority of Jammu & Kashmir state of India at the hands of its militant Muslim majority as the Hindu exodus at the hands of their neighbours, since 1989 shows. There is also a site, describing them as "anti-India activists" providing some alleged evidences.[4] While they ignored the massacre of about 300 Hindus, apart from death of about 1200 Muslims in the riots triggered by burning of 59 Hindu pilgrims alive in Godhra train burning by a section of Muslims in Gujarat state of India, with activists, academics and some Anti-Indian Kashmiri[5] Muslims & Pakistanis[6] (themselves accused of genocide[7]), Angana helped form and worked with the Coalition Against Genocide. The Coalition was subject to much public targeting after some incriminating documents[8] were found against their integrity[9], and an anti-Chatterji online petition to the President and Board of Trustees of CIIS appeared.[10]

In July 2008, the coalition again protested against a newly planned visit by Modi to the United States, claiming that "the conditions under which he was denied a visa in 2005 remain largely unchanged and the minority community in the state continues to face human rights violations.[11][12][13] Modi was again denied a visa by the United States State Department.[14]
