  • The Abiding Binary: the Social and the Political in Modern India Prathama Banerjee
    4 The Abiding Binary: The Social and the Political in Modern India Prathama Banerjee The concept of governmentality has been crucial to the study of modern Indian history. Scholars have shown how colonial governmental techniques – reform, education, medicine, enumeration, classification, codification, survey and representation – came to produce in India critical social categories such as caste, religion, gender and ethnicity (Dirks, 2001; Hodges, 2004; Kalpagam, 2014; Stoler, 1995). Scholars have also discussed the continuities and discontinuities between colonial and postcolonial governmentality in order to specify the precise nature of the modern Indian state (Legg, 2006). Partha Chatterjee has gone further and described the postcolonial social as society of the ‘governed’ (as opposed to ‘citizens’) – the governed here being not just a policy category but also a political subjectivity, demanding ethico–poitical (though not juridico– civic) recognition (Chatterjee, 2004; Nigam, 2008). This chapter, pleads for a rethinking of the concept of governmentality, from a perspective, not merely of colonial difference but of historical difference in a wider sense. It proposes that the concept of governmentality, produced out of Foucault’s re-reading of European history, is not applicable in the same way to all histories of the world. This is not to say that governmentality must be abandoned as a concept but only that the concept needs to be supplemented by other narratives and other concepts if it has to work transhistorically. I shall make three basic arguments in this chapter. Firstly, I shall argue that modernity is not necessarily and not everywhere marked by a transition from sovereignty to governmentality. I am not merely referring to the fact of colonialism, which is nothing if not a routine (contra exceptional) mode of exercising violent sovereign power (Kolsky, 2010).

  • Lokpal and the Role of Media in Propping up Anti Corruption Movement in India
    International Journal of Social Science & Interdisciplinary Research__________________________________ ISSN 2277 3630 IJSSIR, Vol. 2 (3), MARCH (2013) Online available at indianresearchjournals.com LOKPAL AND THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN PROPPING UP ANTI CORRUPTION MOVEMENT IN INDIA DR. ATANU MOHAPATRA HOD, FACULTY OF MEDIA STUDIES MANAV RACHNA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY FARIDABAD ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The existing devices for checks on elected and administrative officials have not been effective as the growing instances of corruption cases suggest. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) is designed to inquire into allegations of corruption by administrative officials only but cannot punish the guilty The CBI, the premier investigating agency of the country, functions under the supervision of the Ministry of Personnel, public grievances and pensions (under the Prime Minister) and is therefore not immune from political pressure during investigation it can be said, ―the CVC is independent but does not have powers while CBI has power but is not independent‖. As a result the first cannot punish while the latter cannot investigate fairly. All these have necessitated the creation of an independent and high powered Lokpal with its own investigation team. Unfortunately for last four decades, no effective act or institution was developed. As a result, a nation-wide movement could take place with the leadership of a Gandhian social activist. Most importantly, this was the time when the nation witnessed many corruption cases at various level and the intervention of media has helped in taking to its heights and made it a national movement. Hence, while analyzing the historical perspectives of Lokpal, this study would attempt to answer the most pertinent question whether the mainstream media or social media helped in giving shape for a huge movement.

  • NCP and Irrigation Scam Politics
    Press Statement July 25, 2012 NCP’s increasingly clearer Dam Scam Links: Were the NCP’s links with Big dam lobby in Maharashtra ever more obvious? Even as the ongoing episode of conflict between NCP (National Congress Party) and Congress gets more intense, the reasons NCP’s unhappiness seem to lie somewhere closer to home: in Maharashtra. NCP leaders have in recent past identified so closely with the big dam lobby that this link with the dam lobby had never been more obvious. They have promptly taken on whoever has been critical of performance of large dams in the state, be it the Chief Minister, the Governor, the media or the civil society.1 This note highlights these aspects, but this does not mean that other political parties in Maharashtra are without blame. If Congress and the opposition parties had taken effective action earlier, things would not have come to this pass, but during the past ten years when corruption and inefficiency in water resources sector in Maharashtra was blatant, none of the political parties systematically followed up the issue. The NCP seems especially miffed with Chief Minister Prithiviraj Chavan, who has been asking for a white paper on the Irrigation Projects and Governor K. Shankaranarayanan who, in his speech in March chided the govt. for performing dismally on irrigation and asked for probe into Kondhane Dam. He also directed that no new irrigation projects should be taken up in Western Maharashtra, considering the irrigation backlog of other regions. The Water Resource Ministry in Maharashtra’s NCP-Congress coalition government has been with the NCP since its inception in 1999 to 2012 (till date).
