  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

  • CHAPTER-S EMERGENCE and EVOLUTION of SIKKIM DEMOCRATIC FRONT AS a POLITICAL PARTY CHAPTER 5 Emergence and Evolution of Sikkim Democratic Front As a Political Party
    CHAPTER-S EMERGENCE AND EVOLUTION OF SIKKIM DEMOCRATIC FRONT AS A POLITICAL PARTY CHAPTER 5 Emergence and Evolution of Sikkim Democratic Front as a Political Party 1. Dissention within Sikkim Sangram Parishad It has already been discussed in the last part of the previous chapter about the feud between Chamling and Bhandari and the former's expulsion from the party on the ground of ideological differences. In this chapter, we will try to assess the reason behind the dissention and the emergence of a new state political outfit, Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) and its role in the state politics. Pawan Chamling, a son of a farmer from Yangang, south Sikkim had first started his political career as the President of his village Yangang Gram Panchayat Unit in 1982 and became an MLA of Damthang Constituency in 1985. He slowly climbed up the political ladder to become a Cabinet Minister in SSP Government in 1989 and was the Minister- in-charge for Industries, Printing and Information & Public Relations. (Commemorative issue:25 years of Statehood) On his days as the SSP minister for two and half years, there started growing a discord on principles and practices of politics between him and the then Chief Minister Nar Bahadur Bhandari. The differences between him and the leadership of the SSP were neither petty nor personal. There were substantial differences on issues of principle and ideology. (B B Gurung) 2012) (Bali) 2003) It was alleged that during Bhandari's rule, he ruled as a monarch without a crown. The fundamental rights of speech and expression granted by the constitution to its citizens became CHAPTER 5 : Emergence and Evolution of Sikkim Democratic Front as a Political Party imprisoned within the bounds of Mintokgang.

  • P.S. Golay Becomes CM of Sikkim
    P.S. Golay becomes CM of Sikkim News The Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) president Prem Singh Tamang, popularly known as PS Golay, took oath as the new Chief Minister of Sikkim on Monday. More in News ● In the recently concluded Sikkim Assembly elections, Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM), had beaten the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) and dethroned Pawan Kumar Chamling, the longest-serving Chief Minister of the country. PK chamling served for five consecutive terms since 1993. ● The SKM, founded in 2013, won a slender majority in the 32-member Sikkim legislative assembly (Lowest number of seats) by bagging 17 seats against the 15 won by the SDF. The party is also an ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Centre and thus a part of the National Democratic Alliance. ● However, Tamang did not contest the election to focus on the party’s campaign. Article 164 of the Indian Constitution which allows anyone to become a minister or a chief minister provided he got himself elected to the Assembly within six months of taking the oath. About Sikkim ● Sikkim is situated at the North East of the union.

  • Chapter- Vi Political Organizations and the Issue of Ethnic Identity: Role of Political Parties & Ethnic Organizations
    293 CHAPTER- VI POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THE ISSUE OF ETHNIC IDENTITY: ROLE OF POLITICAL PARTIES & ETHNIC ORGANIZATIONS. It is an acknowledged fact that political parties and organizations often tend to be ethnically oriented in terms of their membership, goals and support base, in an ethnically divided society or in societies where ethnic cleavages play a significant role in determining social relations. Parties and organizations in their tum may enhance the possibilities of ethnic divisions and conflicts. In a parliamentary democracy or a democratic polity which is ethnically divided, chances of emergence of ethnic political parties and organizations are greater for the simple reason that democratic institutions allow and facilitate such ethnic mobilization in the form of a party or organization. On the other hand, ethnic groups also may find it convenient to organize themselves around the political party or organization because it will assist ethnic groups to permeate democratic institutions and thereby to influence the decision-making process. Interestingly, ethnically based parties are in a sense incompatible or inconsistent with the image and meaning of a political party. Political parties as modem institutions are expected to convert exclusive and segmental interest into public interest. The political party appeals to common interests or attempts to create a combination of interests. Horowitz remarks that very concept of party is challenged by a political party, which is ascriptive and exclusive.1 In this sense ethnically based party or an ethnic party is a misnomer. Gabriel Almond has pointed out that 'particularistic parties' like the ethnic party are more like pressure groups. 2 In India, however, exclusivist ethnically oriented parties like Akali Dal, Asom Ghana Parishad etc.
