Censorship in the City of Truth

Updated: Jun 14, 2023



Auroville institution has a legacy and pride in ensuring crimes are not reported to investigative agencies, in a bid to retain autonomy fooling the world that Auroville has a zero crime rate. At the helm of affairs handling this modus operandi is the systems admin of emails of Auroville and Auronet (the internal communication forum of Auroville ).


The people who were handling this conducted espionage on other Aurovilians, delete emails, and even send emails from people to the junk folder! While on Auronet, the admins feel that anything which speaks of crimes like child abuse, economic offenses, land criminal dealings, assaults, and sexual harassment, should be kept under wraps by deleting them from the discussion forums. This is done under the pretext of a human-conscious experiment that should not address crimes.


It is found that people who were handling this nexus in censoring information which is punishable under IPC and Anti Corruption Act, wrote a few books and conduct workshops in the name of Auroville & Sri Aurobindo. While they preach something else, they practice much more sinister and hoard donations for their books and workshops, the earnings of which are taken home.


After all, protecting ‘autonomy’ for their crimes is the most important agenda, because without that their illegal income comes to an end. The previous working groups were openly practicing censorship in the name of the Divine and the new stooges are doing the same. Without addressing any crimes of the past, the current teams working tirelessly to contain corruption in the system without it ever being known to the residents themselves.


Previously, this was run by a German businessman who had a vested interest in keeping economic offenses under wraps. He also was a part of the entry group that threatened many Aurovilians to not stay in touch, meet or give interviews to The Auroville Files or face ‘dire’ consequences.


If crime is not bad enough, covering up crimes in the name of spirituality is worst. These people are clandestinely, wilfully, destroying Auroville for their personal enterprise, giving a pathway of Human Rights violations with no redressal.


It is no wonder that when the previous Governing Board tried to set up a Grievance cell under the Government of India, it was vehemently opposed since if the truth is acted upon and justice is served, crimes cannot continue and their land of tyranny comes to an end. Further, in the current system, Auroville has no timeframe for the resolution of any crimes and practices a system of injustice.


Let's hope there is a true change in the way of functioning in Auroville.
