    TIF - Article 370, Federalism and the Basic Structure of the Constitution FAIZAN MUSTAFA July 5, 2019 Photo credit: Saktishree DM | Flickr (CC BY-ND 2.0) Article 370 is a permanent and not temporary provision of the Constitution that assures Jammu and Kashmir autonomy. Its content may have been hollowed out but it remains important for the people of Kashmir. Calls to scrap it are based on a misinterpretation. The Article 370 debate is back centre-stage. The new Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, has made a detailed statement on Article 370 after his return from Kashmir. In tune with his party’s ideological position, he has yet again termed this constitutional provision as “temporary”. At the same time he has been candid enough to confess for the first time that most elections in Kashmir had been rigged. The importance of Article 370 to Kashmir and the significance it holds in our Constitution are issues that need to be constantly reiterated to dispel the considerable misinterpretation and misunderstanding about this provision in the Constitution of India History of Article 370 The most important feature of federalism in the United States of America (USA) was the ”compact” between the Page 1 www.TheIndiaForum.in July 5, 2019 erstwhile 13 British colonies that constituted themselves first into a confederation and then into a federal polity under the 1791 constitution of the USA.

  • A Number of Decisions Made by the Rajiv Gandhi Government
    Back to the Future: The Congress Party’s Upset Victory in India’s 14th General Elections Introduction The outcome of India’s 14th General Elections, held in four phases between April 20 and May 10, 2004, was a big surprise to most election-watchers. The incumbent center-right National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had been expected to win comfortably--with some even speculating that the BJP could win a majority of the seats in parliament on its own. Instead, the NDA was soundly defeated by a center-left alliance led by the Indian National Congress or Congress Party. The Congress Party, which dominated Indian politics until the 1990s, had been written off by most observers but edged out the BJP to become the largest party in parliament for the first time since 1996.1 The result was not a complete surprise as opinion polls did show the tide turning against the NDA. While early polls forecast a landslide victory for the NDA, later ones suggested a narrow victory, and by the end, most exit polls predicted a “hung” parliament with both sides jockeying for support. As it turned out, the Congress-led alliance, which did not have a formal name, won 217 seats to the NDA’s 185, with the Congress itself winning 145 seats to the BJP’s 138. Although neither alliance won a majority in the 543-seat lower house of parliament (Lok Sabha) the Congress-led alliance was preferred by most of the remaining parties, especially the four-party communist-led Left Front, which won enough seats to guarantee a Congress government.2 Table 1: Summary of Results of 2004 General Elections in India.

    List of Prime Ministers & Presidents of India A Prime Minister is one who is appointed by the President, according to Article 75 of the Indian Constitution. The members of the Parliament vote to elect the Prime Minister. Any party that wins a majority of seats in the Lok Sabha nominates their representative to be the Prime Minister. The President must appoint the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha as the Prime Minister. When no party has a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, however, the President may select the Prime Minister using his personal discretion. The Prime Minister is the chief executive of the Government of India. In our parliamentary system, the Constitution names the President as head of state de jure, but his or her de facto executive powers are vested in the Prime Minister and their Council of Ministers. Appointed and sworn-in by the President, the Prime Minister is usually the leader of the party or alliance that has a majority in the Lok Sabha. Is India's Prime Minister elected or appointed? The President of India appoints a Prime Minister who is either the leader of the party with a majority in the Lok Sabha or an individual who can win the Lok Sabha's confidence by winning support from other political parties. The President appoints all other ministers on the Prime Minister's advice. When no party has a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, the President may name Prime Minister at his discretion.

Abstract Oxazepam (4a) has been used as overall starting material in the synthesis of novel 2-substituted 1,4-benzodiazepines. By reacting Oxazepam 4a with commercially available hydrazines, hydrazides, semicarbazide, aminoguanidine and N,N-dimethylamino aniline in ethanol under acetic conditions, a series of diazenyl-1,4-benzodiazepines 5a–5i and 2-amino- 1,4-benzodiazepine 5k were obtained in good yields. These novel compounds served as new chemical entities (NCE) for testing in mice. The diazo-benzodiazepine 5d has shown a promising antidepressant effect in initial experiments in vivo at a dose of 5 mg/kg.
