DRTC Colloquium 1 (2025-2027) Title: Where They Burn Books, They Burn People Too Libraries and Genocide: The Parallel Destruction
by Debanjali Bain 26 Jan '26

26 Jan '26

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560059 Colloquium-1 (2025-2027) Title- Where They Burn Books, They Burn People Too Libraries and Genocide: The Parallel Destruction Abstract: Genocide is not only the destruction of people but also the deliberate annihilation of culture, memory, and knowledge. This colloquium examines the parallel relationship between genocides and the destruction of libraries, drawing on the idea that cultural erasure often precedes and accompanies physical violence. Libraries, as custodians of history and collective identity, have repeatedly been targeted during genocidal campaigns to eliminate records, suppress narratives, and sever communities from their cultural roots. The presentation explores how information is weaponized to enable systematic erasure, while censorship and ethical violations legitimize exclusion and violence. At the same time, it highlights the role of libraries as sites of resistance and healing, where preservation, access, and remembrance challenge attempts at denial and forgetting. By analyzing libraries within the context of genocide, this colloquium argues that protecting knowledge institutions is integral to safeguarding human rights, cultural survival, and historical truth. Topics and Speakers Topic Speaker Introduction Rasheedha Sulthana Libraries as targets of genocides Anamika Venugopal K Weaponization of information and systemic erasure Madhu M Libraries as sites of resistance and healing Greeshma KS Ethics and Censorship Rakendu S Conclusion Fathima Nasreen Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: *28*/01/2026 Time: 03:30 pm Venue: DRTC Classroom (G-16), ISI Bangalore [image: Mailsuite] Email tracked with Mailsuite · Opt out <https://u.list-prefs.com/en/privacy/opt-out/unsubscribe/ab97d740aef1f64ce72…> 26/01/26, 20:41:59
