India had been under the British rule till the year 1947 and had remained as a British dominion until 1950. On the 26th of January 1950, the people of India had established a Republican form of government with a new Indian Constitution. This collection of published research on Indian politics is limited to the period starting 1950 to the present time. A few historical studies have been included about the evolution of the Indian Constitution. The research references assembled have been under three broad categories: Indian political institutions, Indian political behavior, and public policy issues. This covers three approaches of political scientists about India. Some political scientists who are interested in political institutions will be interpreted in the studies on institutions like the presidency, parliament, supreme court, bureaucracy and the cabinet system. The next section on Indian political behavior includes studies on electoral behavior, public opinion, ethnic politics, and political partisan behavior in India. These studies would be of interest to the political behavior students. The final section deals with public policies in India. These deal with major policy issues in India including population, foreign policy, agriculture, education and other issues. These studies would be of interest to researchers interested in public administration of India. This work was completed as an independent study project also under Dr. Glenn Perry. Dr. Manindra Mohapatra, Director Center for Governmental Services also guided this bibliography research. Shirley Herrington typed the final manuscript.

    CHAPTER 43 ELECTORAL STATISTICS 43.1 India is a constitutional democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold regular, free and fair elections. These elections determine the composition of the Government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency. Elections are conducted according to the constitutional provisions, supplemented by laws made by Parliament. The major laws are Representation of the People Act, 1950, which mainly deals with the preparation and revision of electoral rolls, the Representation of the People Act, 1951 which deals, in detail, with all aspects of conduct of elections and post election disputes. 43.2 The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, quasi-judiciary constitutional body of India. Its mission is to conduct free and fair elections in India. It was established on 25 January, 1950 under Article 324 of the Constitution of India. Since establishment of Election Commission of India, free and fair elections have been held at regular intervals as per the principles enshrined in the Constitution, Electoral Laws and System.

  • How Has Indian Federalism Done?
    Military-Madrasa-MullahAArticle Global Threat Complex 4343 Studies in Indian Politics How has Indian Federalism Done? 1(1) 43–63 © 2013 Lokniti, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies SAGE Publications Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC Ashutosh Varshney DOI: 10.1177/2321023013482787 http://inp.sagepub.com Abstract Two tropes have dominated discussions of Indian federalism: fiscal and constitutional. Isolated exceptions aside, scholars have not linked India’s federalism to comparative theories of nationalism, or to a comparative exploration of national identities. To examine how India’s federalism has done, we may also need to ask what kind of nation India is. Once we answer that question, the oft-assumed binary—that the stronger the states are, the weaker the centre will be–loses its edge. Both can be simultaneously strong. The new exception may be the problem of cross-border terrorism, which indeed generates a binary for the new age. Secessionism also creates centre–state binaries, but that may be more on account of how the basic ideational principles of Indian nationhood have been violated, not followed, or about how far the historical process of nation-building penetrated the rebellious regions. Such problems have not been about the basic flaws of Indian federalism. Keywords State–nation, nation–state, multicultural nation, linguistic states, cross-cutting identities, cross-border terrorism This article departs from the conventional work on India’s federalism1. Most traditional scholarship took two forms. The focus was either on what is called fiscal federalism, or on strictly constitutional matters. The literature on fiscal federalism revolved around resource transfers from the centre to the states: its logic, equity and quantum.

  • Lok Sabha’ Were Adopted by the Council of States and the House of People Respectively
    Parliament - By Jatin Verma Parliament - The Parliament is the legislative organ of the Union government - It occupies a central position in the Indian democratic political system - It has ‘Westminster’ model of govt. ● Articles 79 to 122 in Part V of the Constitution deal with the powers, duration, officers, organisation, privileges, composition, procedures, etc. of the Parliament. Organisation of Parliament ● The Parliament consists of 3 parts viz, the President, the Council of States and the House of the People. ● In 1954, the Hindi names ‘Rajya Sabha’ and ‘Lok Sabha’ were adopted by the Council of States and the House of People respectively. - Rajya Sabha is the Upper House (2nd Chamber or House of Elders which represents the states and UTs). - Lok Sabha is the Lower House (1st Chamber or Popular House, which represents the people of India as a whole). © Jatin Verma 2017-18. All Rights Reserved Parliament ● President is an integral part of the Parliament, because: - A bill cannot become law without the his assent. - He summons and prorogues both the Houses - He can dissolve the Lok Sabha - He addresses both the Houses - He issues ordinances when they are not in session, etc. ● In Britain, the Parliament consists of the Crown (King or Queen), the House of Lords (Upper House) and the House of Commons (Lower House). ● By contrast, in USA, the legislature, which is known as Congress, consists of the Senate (Upper House) and the House of Representatives (Lower House). ● India has the ‘President-in-Parliament’ like the ‘Crown-in-Parliament’ in Britain. ● The presidential form of government, lays stress on the separation of legislative and executive organs.

  • Speaker: Roles and Responsibility: RSTV – in Depth
    Speaker: Roles and Responsibility: RSTV – In Depth What’s in the news? Members of the 17th Lok Sabha have taken oath. The House will now elect its Speaker on 19th June, 2019. The NDA has named two-time BJP MP Om Birla as its nominee for the post. Birla, who won from the Kota-Bundi parliamentary seat in Rajasthan, will easily become the speaker as the National Democratic Alliance has a clear majority in the lower house. This edition of ‘In Depth’ will look at the election process, role and responsibilities of the Speaker. It will also look at the powers vested in the Lok Sabha speaker, who is the highest authority in the House and also the custodian of the Parliament building. Analysis: If elected, Om Birla will succeed 8 time MP, Sumitra Mahajan, as the presiding officer of the Lok Sabha. Birla’s name was proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and seconded by Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh. The BJP has given a notice to the Lok Sabha secretariat, proposing Birla for the post and bringing a motion for his election. The resolution to support Birla’s candidature was passed by the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), and was supported by NDA allies, including the National People’s Party, Shiv Sena, Mizo National Front, Lok Jan Shakti Party, YSRCP, JDU, AIADMK, and Apna Dal. The elections for the post is scheduled for June, 19th, 2019. Note on Om Birla: Om Birla has been an MLA in Rajasthan thrice and an MP twice.

  • SYNOPSIS of DEBATES (Proceedings Other Than Questions & Answers) ______
    LOK SABHA ___ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATES (Proceedings other than Questions & Answers) ______ Wednesday, February 13, 2019 / Magha 24, 1940 (Saka) ______ OBITUARY REFERENCE HON. SPEAKER: Hon. Members, I have to inform the House about the sad demise of our former colleague Shri Kunji Lal. Shri Kunji Lal was a Member of the 10th Lok Sabha representing the Sawai Madhopur Parliamentary Constituency of Rajasthan. Earlier, Shri Kunji Lal was a Member of Rajasthan Legislative Assembly for four terms. Shri Kunji Lal passed away on 7 January, 2019 in Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan at the age of 82. We deeply mourn the loss of our former colleague. I am sure the House would join me in conveying our condolences to the bereaved family. The Members then stood in silence for a short while. ______ SUBMISSION BY MEMBER Re: Reported manhandling of Members of Parliament by Uttar Pradesh Police. THE MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT, MINISTER OF PANCHAYATI RAJ, MINISTER OF MINES AND MINISTER OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS(SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR) responding to the issue raised by an hon. Member, said: I express full sympathy with whatever the hon. Member has said. But whatever he has said is not true because vice-chancellor of Allahabad University had written to the administration that the visit is likely to affect the law and order. That is why he had to be stopped. This has nothing to do with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Government. ______ THE BANNING OF UNREGULATED DEPOSIT SCHEMES BILL, 2018 THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, MINISTER OF COAL, MINISTER OF FINANCE AND MINISTER OF CORPORATE AFFAIRS (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL) moving the motion for the consideration of the Bill, said: Perhaps these people do not want that poor and small investors of this country, who are lured to invest their money in chit fund schemes, get protection and their money be saved.

  • Achievements of 1St Year of 17Th Lok
    1 Hkkjrh; laln PARLIAMENT OF INDIA 2 PREFACE Indian democracy is the largest working democracy in the world. The identity of our pluralistic society, democratic traditions and principles are deeply rooted in our culture. It is in the backdrop of this rich heritage that India had established itself as a democratic republic after its independence from the colonial rule in the preceding century. Parliament of India is the sanctum sanctorum of our democratic system. Being the symbol of our national unity and sovereignty, this august institution represents our diverse society. Our citizens actively participate in the sacred democratic processes through periodic elections and other democratic means. The elected representatives articulate their hopes and aspirations and through legislations, work diligently, for the national interest and welfare of the people. This keeps our democracy alive and vibrant. In fact, people’s faith in our vibrant democratic institutions depends greatly upon the effectiveness with which the proceedings of the House are conducted. The Chair and the Members, through their collective efforts, give voice to the matters of public importance. In fact, the Lower House, Lok Sabha, under the leadership and guidance of the Hon’ble Speaker, is pivotal to the fulfillment of national efforts for development and public welfare. The 17th Lok Sabha was constituted on 25 May 2019 and its first sitting was held on 17 June 2019. The Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, moved the motion for election of Shri Om Birla as the new Speaker of the Lok Sabha on 19 June 2019, which was seconded by Shri Rajnath Singh.

Caste is hostile to individual and collective freedom. In recent years, there have been new attempts to understand the socio-economic conditions of the life of SCs/STs and dalit peoples and household in India. The SCs/STs, and Dalits throughout the country occupy the lowest rank in the caste hierarchy. They are landless agricultural and casual labourers. They are mostly engaged in menial jobs which adds to lower their social and ritual status further and still being suppressed and oppressed in different forms of social, economic and political spheres in many parts of the country.

  • Poverty in India: the Present Status of Bimaru States in Socio-Economic
    International Journal of Scientific Research and Review ISSN NO: 2279-543X POVERTY IN INDIA: THE PRESENT STATUS OF BIMARU STATES IN SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA Vishakha Jaiswal#1, Dr.Kahkashan Khan*2 #Centre For Management Studies, Madan Mohan Malaviya University Of Technology, Gorakhpur. Abstract— India is the vast and diverse country, leading to disparities in the growth and development of the country. Due to differences in the resource availability , infrastructure development ,demographic and socio-economic condition different states grow at different rates. There are some states which are performing well and contributing to the development of the nation while there are some states which are lagging behind in the basic necessities which act as hurdle in growth and development of the country and these states require special attention and efforts to improve its condition. In early 1980s Prof.Ashish Bose had coined the term BIMARU which represent the sick and underdeveloped Indian states. BIMARU is an acronym made from the first letter of the names of the Indian states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. These states are considered as backward and underdeveloped due to lots of socio-economic problems which leads to high level poverty. In last decade some progress has been made by these states but still lots of efforts are required to remove the label of BIMARU. The objective of this project is to study the present condition of BIMARU states considering the changes taking place in socio-economic indicators as well as the roles of the government in improving the condition of these sick states.

  • Coalition Governments in India: the Way Forward
    International Journal of Research in Engineering, IT and Social Sciences ISSN 2250-0558, Impact Factor: 6.452, Volume 6 Issue 03, March 2016 Coalition governments in India: The way forward Veena.K Assistant professor, Department of Political Science & Research scholar (BU), Government Arts College, Bangalore -560001 ABSTRACT Indian federal system says clearly the „distribution of power „has been assured by the constitution for the „effective administration‟ and it is reflected in Indian parliamentary democracy. India has a multi party system where there is a number of national and regional political party because of which there is an emergence of coalition governments in India. The governments have been formed at the centre or at the state based on the „First –past- the- post-electoral system‟ in the Indian political system. Electoral politics of India before independence and after independence witnessed major changes in forming government, its running and completing of its tenure. Elections in India will be held once in five years to choose the leader and peoples‟ representatives, wherein the election commission and delimitation commission play significant roles.
