  • Rahul Sagar, Hindu Nationalists and the Cold
    Chapter Ten Hindu Nationalists and the Cold War Rahul Sagar It is generally accepted that during the Cold War divergences between “hope and reality” rendered India and America “estranged democracies.”1 Te pre- cise nature of the Indo- American relationship during these decades remains a subject of fruitful study. For instance, Rudra Chaudhuri has argued that the Cold War’s many crises actually prompted India and the United States to “forge” a more nuanced relationship than scholars have realized.2 Tis chapter does not join this discussion. It examines a diferent side of the story. Rather than study the workings of the Congress Party–afliated political and bureaucratic elite in power during the Cold War, it focuses on the principal Opposition—the ideas and policies of the Hindu Mahasabha, the Jan Sangh, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (bJP), which have championed the cause of Hindu nationalism. Te Cold War–era policies of these parties have not been studied carefully thus far. A common assumption is that these parties had little to say about international afairs or that, to the extent that they had something to say, their outlook was resolutely militant. Tis chapter corrects this misperception. It shows that these parties’ policies alternated between being attracted to and being repulsed by the West. Distaste for communism and commitment to democracy drove them to seek friendship with the West, while resentment at U.S. eforts to contain India as well as fears about ma- terialism and Westernization prompted them to demand that the West be kept at a safe distance. 229 false sTarTs Surprisingly little has been written about the diversity of Indian views on international relations in the Cold War era.

  • Indian Financial Sector: Structure, Trends, and Turns
    Working Paper No. 580 Indian Financial Sector: Structure, Trends, and Turns Rakesh Mohan | Partha Ray September 2016 Indian Financial Sector: Structure, Trends and Turns Rakesh Mohan Senior Fellow, Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, Yale University Distinguished Fellow, Brookings India e-mail: [email protected] Partha Ray Professor, Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, India e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper traces the story of Indian financial sector over the period 1950-2015. In identifying the trends and turns of Indian financial sector, the paper adopts a three period classification viz., (a) the 1950s and 1960s, which exhibited some elements of instability associated with laissez faire but underdeveloped banking; (b) the 1970s and 1980s that experienced the process of financial development across the country under government auspices, accompanied by a degree of financial repression; and (c) the period since the 1990s till date, that has been characterized by gradual and calibrated financial deepening and liberalization. Focusing more the third period, the paper argues that as a consequence of successive reforms over the past 25 years, there has been significant progress in making interest and exchange rates largely market determined, though the exchange rate regime remains one of managed float, and some interest rates remain administered. Considerable competition has been introduced in the banking sector through new private sector banks but public sector banks continue have a dominant share in the market. Contractual savings systems have been improved but pension funds in India are still in their infancy. Similarly, despite the introduction of new private sector insurance companies’ coverage of insurance can expand much further, which would also provide greater depth to the financial markets.

  • A Rare Judge
    A Rare Judge —P. P. R ao* I. EARLY YEARS AND ELEVATION I was a student of law when I first heard his name. He was then the Minister for Law, Home, Prisons etc. in the State of Kerala, in the first ever Communist Government led by Mr. E.M.S Namboodiripad. He was a bril- liant man with strikingly original ideas and a crusader committed to the wel- fare of the common man. In due course, his name became more and more familiar and his subsequent career as a Judge of the Kerala High Court, Member of the Law Commission of India and Judge of the Supreme Court of India is well known. It was only in 1973 after his elevation to the Bench of the Apex court that I came to know Justice Krishna Iyer in a personal capacity. II. THE APPOINTMENT CONTROVERSY His elevation to the Supreme Court took place within a few months of Justice A.N. Ray’s appointment as Chief Justice of India, superseding three senior most Judges. The entire Bar of India was up in arms against the supersession of Judges following the momentous decision in the Kesavananda Bharati case,1 curtailing the power of Parliament to amend the basic struc- ture of the Constitution. After Justice Iyer had moved to Delhi as a member of the Union Law Commission, his friends and admirers started pressing for his elevation to the Apex court. Chief Justice S.M. Sikri and a section of the Bombay Bar were against the move due to his political antecedents, includ- ing his Minister-ship in the Communist Government.2 Amidst the vehement * Senior Advocate, Supreme Court, assisted by Mr.
