This is a report (2004) on the Creative Writers’ Workshop on Forced Displacement of Population (2003) – perhaps the first of its kind in South Asia. It was held as part of a programme on ‘Media and Displacement’. The first part of the programme concerned with attempts at auditing on the basis of selected cases the mainstream media and its coverage on forced displacement of population from the perspective of human rights, justice and democracy. The other part of the programme was concerned with bringing out a source book on the creative writings of a particular community of victims. The creative writers’ workshop deliberated on these two segments of the programme and dealt at length with issues of creativity and objectivity, ways of seeing and covering an event, the right to communication, victims’ right to communicate, impact of technology on media behaviour, ethics and norms of reporting and editing, narrative techniques, and other issues related to writing.
The programme and the publication have been supported by WACC, London. Edited by Deepti Mahajan and Samir Kumar Das.
Among the major aspects of forced migration in India’s east and north-east that deserve attention are border and boundary confl ict, security, and refugees, the large presence of internally displaced persons in the region due to various confl icts and development projects, and mass-scale displacement due to natural disasters and environmental degradation leading to resource confl icts in recent times. A workshop organised by the Calcutta Research Group in Guwahati in February 2010 refl ected on the present body of work and future trends in research on forced migration in India’s east and north-east.
