The cooperation between these two great nations draws upon a long tradition of friendship and mutual understanding. In the 20th Century, Independent India and the erstwhile Soviet Union worked in tandem as a bulwark for international peace and cooperation. The resilience of Indo-Soviet cooperation was such that India's ties with the successor Russian Federation have not only survived the challenges of the post-Cold War era, but have strengthened and flourished in new directions in recent years. The tradition of high level exchanges between our two countries has contributed substantially to the building up of Indo-Russian cooperation. The visit to India of His Excellency, Mr. Vladimir V. Putin, President of the Russian Federation during the first week of October 2000 was yet another step in further consolidating the deep- rooted tradition of friendship, trust and confidence between the two nations. On 4 October 2000, His Excellency, President Putin, addressc;;d members of both Houses of Parliament in the Central Hall of Parliament House at a function organised under the auspices of the Indian Parliamentary Group (IPG). The Vice-President of India and Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Shri Krishan Kant welcomed the visiting dignitary to the function. Subsequently, His Excellency, President Putin addressed members of Parliament. The Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the Speaker, Lok Sabha, Shri G.M.C. Balayogi also addressed the distinguished gathering. The texts of the Addresses delivered by the dignitaries on the occasion are included in this issue of the Journal. In the history of parliamentary democracy, the Office of the Presiding Officer has played a prominent role. It is accepted by all that one of the guiding forces behind the successful working of a parliamentary system is free and frank discussion on the floor of the House. And the Speaker is the key functionary of the House who has to facilitate orderly conduct of the business of the House. No other role in the parliamentary set up requires as much tact and tenacity as the Speaker's office. The responsibiil,y of sustaining successful democratic functioning of the House also lies on his shoulder who, by not merely enforcing the rules but by his sagacious counsel and tolerance, in-depth understanding and persuasive skills, ensures that the voices of all sections of the House are heard with an open mind. Indeed, the Office of the Speaker is one of the cornerstones on which the edifice of the parliamentary system has been 538 The Journal of Parliamentary Information built up. That being so, it is essential that the dignitary who adorns the office of the Speaker is one acceptable to all and is elected to the office in a manner that will generate goodwill for the incumbent. Parliamentary democracies everywhere have laid down clear cut rules regarding the election of the Speaker of Parliament. In U.K., the Mother of all Parliaments, the Standing Orders, amended from time to time, provide for the procedure to be adopted while electing a Speaker. On 12 July 2000, the then Speaker of the House of Commons, Miss Betty Boothroyd, announced her intention to relinquish the Office of Speaker. The Labour MP and the First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means, Mr. Michael John Martin was elected as the 156th Speaker of the UK House of Commons on 23 October 2000. It was the third contested election after 1951, the fourth of the 20th Century and the ninth since the year 1BOO. The election was unique in two ways; for one, there was an unprecedented number of candidates; secondly, the considerable amount of the House time spent on conducting the election led to an urgent inquiry by the House Procedure Committee into the rules governing the election of the Speaker. The Procedure Committee, which went on to examine the election process anew, in its Report, recommended certain changes in the current procedure for electing the Speaker. The Report of the Procedure Committee has been approved by the House of Commons. In India, which has also benefited from the Westminster model, the procedure for electing the Speaker of Lok Sabha is enshrined in rule 7 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha. In the article titled "Election of Speaker in UK and India", included in this issue of the Journal, the author attempts a study of the procedure for electing Speaker in UK and India. The article is laced with in-depth analysis of the electoral procedure in the two countries, the evolution of the electoral practice, the problem areas and the reforms that have been incorporated over the years. Extensive statistical information pertaining to the election of Speaker in the Lok Sabha and the House of Commons has also been included to give the reader a proper understanding of the electoral practice and procedure. The author also discusses the conven- tion of 'Once a Speaker, always a Speaker' as evolved in the House of Commons and the difficulties in the way of such a convention striking roots in India. This issue of the Journal carries the other regular Features, viz. Parliamentary Events and Activities, Privilege Issues, Procedural Matters, Parliamentary and Constitutional Developments, Documents of Constitutional and Parliamentary Interest, a resume of the Sessions of the Lok Sabha, Editorial Note 539 the Rajya Sabha and the State Legislatures, Recent Literature of Par1iamentary Interest and Appendices. A Comprehensive Index to Vol. XLVI of 2000 also finds place in this issue. It has been our constant endeavour to make the Journal more useful and informative. We would greatly welcome suggestions for its further improvement. We also welcome practice and problem-oriented non-partisan articles in the field of parliamentary procedures and institutions from members of Parliament and State Legislatures, scholars and others interested in the field of parliamentary political science. -G.C.

  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

If you’re reading this book and didnot purchase it, or it was not purchased for your use only, then please return to yourfavorite ebook retailer and purchase your own copy. Thank you for respecting the hardwork of this author. About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’. Now as the second edition is ready for release, environment has transformed radically.

  • Hindu Responses to Religious Diversity and the Nature of Post-Mortem Progress
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Hindu Responses to Religious Diversity and the Nature of Post-Mortem Progress The last two hundred years of Hindu–Christian encounters have produced distinctive forms of Hindu thought which, while often rooted in the broad philosophical-cultural continuities of Vedic outlooks, grappled with, on the one hand, the colonial pressures of European modernity, and, on the other hand, the numerous critiques by Christian theologians and missionaries on the Hindu life-worlds. Thus, the spectrum of Hindu responses from Raja Rammohun Roy through Swami Vivekananda to S. Radhakrishnan demonstrates attempts to creatively engage with Christian representations of Hindu belief and practice, by accepting their prima facie validity at one level while negating their adequacy at another. For instance, these figures of neo-Hinduism accepted that such ‘corruptions’ as Hinduism’s alleged idol- worship, anti-worldly ethic, caste-based distinctions and the like were all too visible on the socio-cultural domain, while they formulated revamped Vedic or Vedantic visions within which these were to be either rejected as excrescences or given demythologised interpretations. In Swami Vivekananda, we find on some occasions a more strident rejection of certain aspects of western civilization as steeped in materialist ‘excesses’ which needed to be purged through the light of Vedantic wisdom. Through such hermeneutical processes of retrieval, often carried out within contexts structured by British colonialism, these figures were able to offer forms of Hinduism that were signifiers not of the Oriental depravity that the British administrators, scholars and missionaries had claimed to perceive on the Indian landscapes but of a spiritual depth that transcended national, cultural and ethnic boundaries.
