  • An Indian Summer: Corruption, Class, and the Lokpal Protests
    Article Journal of Consumer Culture 2015, Vol. 15(2) 221–247 ! The Author(s) 2013 An Indian summer: Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav Corruption, class, and DOI: 10.1177/1469540513498614 the Lokpal protests joc.sagepub.com Aalok Khandekar Department of Technology and Society Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University, The Netherlands Deepa S Reddy Anthropology and Cross-Cultural Studies, University of Houston-Clear Lake, USA and Human Factors International Abstract In the summer of 2011, in the wake of some of India’s worst corruption scandals, a civil society group calling itself India Against Corruption was mobilizing unprecedented nation- wide support for the passage of a strong Jan Lokpal (Citizen’s Ombudsman) Bill by the Indian Parliament. The movement was, on its face, unusual: its figurehead, the 75-year- old Gandhian, Anna Hazare, was apparently rallying urban, middle-class professionals and youth in great numbers—a group otherwise notorious for its political apathy. The scale of the protests, of the scandals spurring them, and the intensity of media attention generated nothing short of a spectacle: the sense, if not the reality, of a united India Against Corruption. Against this background, we ask: what shared imagination of cor- ruption and political dysfunction, and what political ends are projected in the Lokpal protests? What are the class practices gathered under the ‘‘middle-class’’ rubric, and how do these characterize the unusual politics of summer 2011? Wholly permeated by routine habits of consumption, we argue that the Lokpal protests are fundamentally structured by the impulse to remake social relations in the image of products and ‘‘India’’ itself into a trusted brand.

    VIVEKANANDA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION 3, San Martin Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi Ph: 011 24121764, 24106698 [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, As you are aware, the India is passing through its toughest times, when graft and massive illicit wealth are shaking the pillars of its very existence. This, in turn, is pulling back the nation from its aspirations of growth, development and prosperity. At the same time, these issues have created tremendous angst among the people which have manifested in the form of determination to contain the menace through civil actions. Despite all such efforts, we are far behind, even smaller nations in the crusade against illicit money, corruption and bad governance. In this backdrop, we felt that it is our responsibility to initiate a relentless campaign for transparent governance, accountability and firm actions against lack of probity. As a part of this exercise, we are pleased to inform you that an International Seminar on “Transparency and Accountability in Governance – International Experience in the Indian Context” is being organised at Vivekananda International Foundation on April 1 & 2, 2011. This event to be inaugurated by Justice M N Venkatchelliah, former Chief Justice of India, will be attended by a cross section of experts, activists, decision makers and scholars from both inside and outside the country. Towering personalities of Indian polity, judiciary & academia including Dr Subramanian Swamy, K N Govindacharya, Ram Jethmalani, N Gopalaswamy, S Gurumurthy and Justice J S Verma will be delivering their keynote addresses. Eminent experts like Dr.Arun Kumar, Ajit Doval, M D Nalapat, Prof. R Vaidyanathan, Joginder Singh, Nurial Molina, Bhure Lal, Dr.Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Bahadur Rai, Arvind Kejriwal, TSR Subrahmaniam, Prashant Bhushan, Roland Lomme, David Spencer, B R Lall, Satish Chandra, and many other luminaries will present their papers and take part in the brain storming.

  • Lecture a STATE of EMERGENCY
    35 th J.P.Memorial lecture A STATE OF EMERGENCY Gopalkrishna Gandhi Thank you very much for your generous introduction, Suresh. I do indeed recall the incident that you described but only do sincerely hope when I spoke to you at 11:30 at night, I did not say I had managed to persuade the President. He did not need any persuasion. The decision was his. I was only a file carrier. I assure you that. K.R. Narayanan was an extraordinary human being and he brought to the office of the President of India an independent concept of the Presidentship of India which was not an assertive President but a President that was aware of both its powers and the need to keep those powers in line with the spirit of the constitution which is a democratic constitution vesting authority in the elected representatives of the people. He did not cavil at the prospect of taking a principled stand if he was sure of his ground, as he was in the Govindaswamy commutation . We heard a very moving song to commemorate Shaheed Bhagat Singh. This happens to be the anniversary of Bhagat Singh’s execution. So I would like to take this opportunity to say right at the start, and propelled also by your reference to the Govindaswamy commutation that India must move determinedly forward to the abolition of the capital punishment and I say this although we have all resonated in the song for Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his is a name that strikes a chord across the country.

  • Agricultural Crisis in India and Its Impact on Nutrition
    World Nutrition 2018;9(3):292-313 Agricultural crisis in India and its impact on nutrition Radha Holla1, Dr. Anil Chandy Ittyerah2 1 Independent researcher and member Right to Food Campaign India 2 Retired professor of economics from the Indian Institute of Public Administration Email addresses: RH: [email protected] ACI: [email protected] Keywords Agricultural Crisis in India, Nutritional Status in India, Global Hunger Index, Impact of agriculture on nutrition, agricultural labor in India, Agricultural economics, Low input sustainable agriculture, agro-ecology, Minimum Support Price, small and marginal farmers 292 World Nutrition 2018;9(3):292-313 Abstract India is currently in the grip of an unprecedented agricultural crisis, which has led to the suicide of over 300,000 farmers over the past two and half decades. The crisis has been caused by multiple factors including lack of a sustainable agricultural policy, globalization, and decreased state investment in agriculture concurrent with an increased role of private players and climate change. This has led to reduced income for farmers and increased farmers’ indebtedness, which in turn affects the nutritional status of farming families, particularly women and children. In 2017, India was ranked 100 out of a total of 117 countries by the Global Hunger Index. The focus of state schemes related to nutrition has been on ensuring food security rather than nutrition security. The agrarian crisis is increasingly making agriculture an unviable occupation and hundreds and thousands of farmers are opting out of working on the land to move to urban areas, where jobs are scarce, further deepening the nutritional crisis.
