    Why AAP Must Form Govt in Delhi Abhijit Banerjee, Hindustan Times New Delhi, December 19, 2013

    Sat,21 Dec 2013 analysis Promises to keep: why AAP must form govt in Delhi Abhijit Banerjee, Hindustan Times New Delhi, December 19, 2013 First Published: 22:23 IST(19/12/2013) Last Updated: 11:57 IST(20/12/2013) AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal shows victory sign with party members Manish Sishodia, Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav and Kumar Vishwas in Delhi. (PTI) The good first: anyone who cares about India should be rejoicing that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) managed to do what it did. I am a fan of Sheila Dikshit — she is surely one of the best Congress chief ministers in modern memory — and I wish it did not have to happen at her expense, but the sheer improbability of what the AAP achieved has to be celebrated. Omar Abdullah, in a recent piece, gives the example of NT Rama Rao and the remarkable ride of the Telugu Desam Party — but it is very different to be the entrant in what was essentially a one-party state than when there is two-party competition. To see this consider the choice of an AAP sympathiser in Delhi: whether it makes sense for him to turn that sympathy into a vote turns on what he thinks everyone else will do. If all the BJP supporters continue to vote for the BJP but some Congress supporters like him waver and vote for the AAP, all that would happen is that BJP would end up winning, which, for him, is the worst possible outcome. For it to make sense for him to give up on his old loyalties and switch to the AAP he needs have faith that enough BJP supporters are doing the same, unless the switch from the Congress is massive enough to give victory to the AAP on its own.

    Women Leaders in Indian Political Parties and Their Contribution and Struggles

    International Journal of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Vol.11, No. 3, (2020), pp. 2641–2647 Women Leaders In Indian Political Parties And Their Contribution And Struggles 1K.Nithila, 2Dr.V.Veeramuthu, Ph.D., Ph.D. Scholar, Head of the Department, Department Of Political Science, Department Of Political Science, Government Arts College (Autonomous), Government Arts College (Autonomous), Salem-636007, Salem-636007, Abstract: The making of the Constitution brought women legal equality. Though the constitutional provisions allowed the women to leave the relative calm of the domestic sphere to enter the male- dominated political sphere, the involvement of women in politics has been low key. The political contribution of women is a social process crucial to development and progress. The status of women is measured internationally by the participation of women in politics and their empowerment. Women remain seriously underrepresented in decision-making positions. but still, awareness should be created among women to participate in politics with courage. The findings on the participation of women in politics are increasing. It is significant in the study on political empowerment and participation of women in politics. To secure women’s rightful place in society and to enable them to decide their destiny and for the growth of genuine and sustainable democracy, women's participation in politics is essential. This will not only uplift their personality but will open the way for their social and economic empowerment. Their contribution to public life will solve many problems in society. It concludes that the participation of women is essential as demand for simple justice as well as a necessary condition for human existence.

    Gangs of Wasseypur As an Active Archive of Popular Cinema

    M A D H U J A M U K H E R J E E Of Recollection, Retelling, and Cinephilia: Reading Gangs of Wasseypur as an Active Archive of Popular Cinema This paper studies Gangs of Wasseypur (Parts 1 and 2, 2012) as a definitive text via which Anurag Kashyap’s style became particularly provocative and pointed. While a range of films (both directed and produced by Kashyap) seemingly bear a certain ‘Kashyap mark’ in the manner in which they tackle subjects of violence and belligerent speech with an unpredictable comic sense, I argue that, more importantly, these films work within a particular visual framework with regard to its mise-en- scène (including the play of light, camera movement, modes of performance), as well as produce recognisable plot structures (involving capricious and realistic events), settings and locations (like the city’s underbelly, police stations, etc.), and so on. Indeed, Kashyap has made a set of films—including Paanch (unreleased), No Smoking (2007) and Ugly (2014)—which deal with similar issues, and explore contemporary cityscapes, especially Mumbai, with fervidness, thereby commenting on urban dystopia.1 Furthermore, these films speak to what has been analysed as the ‘Bombay noir’ mode by Lalitha Gopalan, by means of thoughtful art and set design, engaging (and often hand-held) camera movements and swish-pans, uses of blue or yellow filters, character prototypes, and reflective performances, which generate a world that is engulfed by a deep sense of disquiet and distress. This paper draws attention to such stylistic explorations, especially JOURNAL OF THE MOVING IMAGE 91 to the ways in which it has developed through Kashyap’s recent films.
