  • 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

  • Rehablitation of Mahatma Gandhi Setu in Patna
    Rehablitation of Mahatma Gandhi Setu in Patna Contractor Name:- FPCC Ind. Ltd 1. Introduction The Mahatma Gandhi Bridge was constructed about 25 years ago over the Ganges River in order to connect patna to the other side of river. Once completed it was supposed to be the part of N.H 19 and comes directly under Central Government of India. It is one of the longest bridge in india. The bridge has 46 spans each with length 120m. Each span has two cantilever beams on both sides which are free to move at the ends. It has two lanes one upstream and the other downstream each with a width of around 6m. Both the lanes are also free from each other and are not connected anywhere. It was constructed by using 3 meter pre-casted parts being joined at both ends to complete the span. The Spans are connected by using a Protrusion which is free to move longitudinally also along the river flow. In upwards and downwards direction it is such that it allows vibration to transfer smoothly to the next span while vehicular movement without much discreteness. It is shown in fig. Due to heavy traffic movement and being the only bridge to cross ganges river the bridge is used heavily now. Hence it has started vibrating with a higher amplitude than it was designed to. Also in many spans the cantilever beams were found to have sagged at ends. 2. Rehabilitation Keeping the structural health prospective in mind it was decided for immediate rehabilitation of the bridge to provide extra strength to the spans so that it bear the existing vehicular load according to the IRC.
