  • India: the Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India
    ASARC Working Paper 2009/06 India: The Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India Desh Gupta, University of Canberra Abstract This paper explains the complex of factors in the weakening of the Congress Party from the height of its power at the centre in 1984. They are connected with the rise of state and regional-based parties, the greater acceptability of BJP as an alternative in some of the states and at the Centre, and as a partner to some of the state-based parties, which are in competition with Congress. In addition, it demonstrates that even as the dominance of Congress has diminished, there have been substantial improvements in the economic performance and primary education enrolment. It is argued that V.P. Singh played an important role both in the diminishing of the Congress Party and in India’s improved economic performance. Competition between BJP and Congress has led to increased focus on improved governance. Congress improved its position in the 2009 Parliamentary elections and the reasons for this are briefly covered. But this does not guarantee an improved performance in the future. Whatever the outcomes of the future elections, India’s reforms are likely to continue and India’s economic future remains bright. Increased political contestability has increased focus on governance by Congress, BJP and even state-based and regional parties. This should ensure improved economic and outcomes and implementation of policies.

  • Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 4158–4180 1932–8036/20170005 Fragile Hegemony: Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India SUBIR SINHA1 School of Oriental and African Studies, London, UK Direct and unmediated communication between the leader and the people defines and constitutes populism. I examine how social media, and communicative practices typical to it, function as sites and modes for constituting competing models of the leader, the people, and their relationship in contemporary Indian politics. Social media was mobilized for creating a parliamentary majority for Narendra Modi, who dominated this terrain and whose campaign mastered the use of different platforms to access and enroll diverse social groups into a winning coalition behind his claims to a “developmental sovereignty” ratified by “the people.” Following his victory, other parties and political formations have established substantial presence on these platforms. I examine emerging strategies of using social media to criticize and satirize Modi and offering alternative leader-people relations, thus democratizing social media. Practices of critique and its dissemination suggest the outlines of possible “counterpeople” available for enrollment in populism’s future forms. I conclude with remarks about the connection between activated citizens on social media and the fragility of hegemony in the domain of politics more generally. Keywords: Modi, populism, Twitter, WhatsApp, social media On January 24, 2017, India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), proudly tweeted that Narendra Modi, its iconic prime minister of India, had become “the world’s most followed leader on social media” (see Figure 1). Modi’s management of—and dominance over—media and social media was a key factor contributing to his convincing win in the 2014 general election, when he led his party to a parliamentary majority, winning 31% of the votes cast.

  • India and the Indian Ocean Claudia Astarita
    India and the Indian Ocean Claudia Astarita EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the only priority for the Indian government, led by a coalition headed by the Congress Party, has been the one of gaining new consensus in view of 2014 forthcoming elections. To achieve this aim, the government focussed on three issues. First, ensuring that the current internal economic and political crisis would not lead to the fall of the government resulting in early elections. First, prepare for the transition identifying the right Prime Minister candidate for 2014 elections. Accordingly, Rahul Gandhi, the eldest son of Sonia Gandhi, was chosen, and the current Prime Minister Manmohan Singh worked a lot to make sure that Rahul could be accepted and supported by the Congress Party and could gain trust and sympathy among Indians approaching people with a message of hope and renewal. Secondly, to cope with national economic, financial and social problems, Singh’s government tried to prove to be strong and far-sighted by designing and implementing a set of reforms allowing to get some real results in short time, just to regain credibility. At the same time, and again for electoral purposes, New Delhi has embarked on a series of social and political initiatives. The most important one was assuring the distribution of food to poor people at controlled and subsidised prices, followed by the pro-autonomy position the government chose to respond Telangana pro- autonomy claims. It is still difficult to forecast whether, if re-elected, the Congress Party will be able to face the consequences of all these initiatives, which are particularly onerous both from an economic and geopolitical perspective.
