  • Seeking Offense: Censorship and the Constitution of Democratic Politics in India
    SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ameya Shivdas Balsekar August 2009 © 2009 Ameya Shivdas Balsekar SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA Ameya Shivdas Balsekar, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 Commentators have frequently suggested that India is going through an “age of intolerance” as writers, artists, filmmakers, scholars and journalists among others have been targeted by institutions of the state as well as political parties and interest groups for hurting the sentiments of some section of Indian society. However, this age of intolerance has coincided with a period that has also been characterized by the “deepening” of Indian democracy, as previously subordinated groups have begun to participate more actively and substantively in democratic politics. This project is an attempt to understand the reasons for the persistence of illiberalism in Indian politics, particularly as manifest in censorship practices. It argues that one of the reasons why censorship has persisted in India is that having the “right to censor” has come be established in the Indian constitutional order’s negotiation of multiculturalism as a symbol of a cultural group’s substantive political empowerment. This feature of the Indian constitutional order has made the strategy of “seeking offense” readily available to India’s politicians, who understand it to be an efficacious way to discredit their competitors’ claims of group representativeness within the context of democratic identity politics.

Department of POLITICAL SCIENCE The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT This study is rooted in a theoretical interest in the development of parties that appeal mainly to primordial ties. The claims of social relationships based on tribe, race, language or religion have the capacity to rival the civil order of the state for the loyalty of its citizens, thus threatening to undermine its political authority. This phenomenon is endemic to most Asian and African states. Most previous research has argued that political competition in such contexts encourages the formation of primordially based parties whose activities threaten the integrity of these states.

  • The 2001 Assembly Elections in Tamil Nadu
    NEW ALIGNMENTS IN SOUTH INDIAN POLITICS The 2001 Assembly Elections in Tamil Nadu A. K. J. Wyatt There has been a strong regional pattern to the politics of modern Tamil Nadu, intimately related to the caste stratification of Tamil society. In contrast to other parts of India, upper-caste brahmins constitute a very small proportion (approximately 3%) of the population of Tamil Nadu. Roughly two-thirds of the 62 million population belong to the middle group of “backward” castes. Though this umbrella term is widely used, it is some- what misleading. Members of these castes do not enjoy high ritual status in the caste system, hence the term “backward,” but they occupy a wide variety of socioeconomic positions in Tamil society. For example, during the colo- nial period, some members of the backward castes were wealthy owners of land and businesses. These leading members of the backward castes resented brahmin dominance of politics and the professions under British colonial rule.1 In particular, in the early 20th century, many considered the Indian National Congress to be an elitist and socially exclusive organization. E. V. Ramaswami Naicker asserted himself as a spokesman against brahmin he- A. K. J. Wyatt is Lecturer in the Department of Politics at the Univer- sity of Bristol, Bristol, U.K. The author is very grateful to the Society for South Asian Studies and the University of Bristol Staff Travel Fund for contributing to the cost of two visits to Tamil Nadu in 2000 and 2001. During these visits, he was able to interview a selection of senior politicians from across the range of parties.

  • Chapter-I Introduction
    CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION The Regional Parties are not new to the Indian Politics. They have come into existence way back to 1916 with the rise of Justice Party in the then Madras state. Gradually these parties are playing a key role. They are emerging more powerful and grown up to dictating terms to the National Parties. There is a strong leadership who can put down the National Parties. Some regional parties even turned into national parties like Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Samajvadi Party (SP) and even Shiv Sena to some extent. The Telugu Desam Party and Shiv Sena have played very important role both at their respective states as well as at the centre. This study is a comparison between them. Many facts about their nature and style of functioning and performance also examined. Regionalism is a burning topic in India. The emergence of Regional Parties in various parts of the country has become common now a day. The regional parties in the states instigate the regional sentiments of the people. "'Using the regional sentiments is a weapon in the battle of power politics." The regional parties are weakening the National Parties and it has become difficult for them to form governments at the centre without the support of the regional parties, because they have become strong in certain sates. Since 1989 it has become common phenomenon to form coalition governments at the centre. Political analysts have come to conclusion that the days of single party forming the government at the Centre is over. Since very long time the National parties either had pre-poll alliances or post-poll alliances to come to power at the centre.
