I ADDRESS BY IDS EXCELLENCY MR. LEONID ILYICH BREZHNEV TO MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT On 10 December 1980, His ExcelIency Mr. L.eotid Ilyich Brezhnev, General-Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and President of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet addressed the Members of Parliament in the Central Hall of the Parliament House. We reproduce below the text of his Address as wen :as of the welcome speech by Shri M. HidayatuIlah, Vice-President of India ad Chairman of Rajya Sabha, and the Thanks-giving speech by Shri Bal Ram J akhar, Speaker of Lok Sabha. -Editor. ------- ------- - ---------- SPEECH BY SHRI M .• HIDAYATULLAH, CHAIRMAN, RAJYA SABHA 1t is a matter of great pleasure to have with us today, His Excellency, Mr. Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the U.S.s.R. On behalf of the Members of our Parliament and the people of India I extend a warm and hearty welcome to our esteemed and distinguished guest. Excellencies, Hon'ble Members, Ladies and Gentlemen, the friendship -between the Soviet Union and India goes back to days when with us free- ,dom was stilI an aspiration and a dream. Need it be recalled that even in 'those dliys of our freedom struggle we found nothing but sympathy and Address by H. E. Mr, Leonid Brezhnev '461 !Understanding in the Soviet Union. The leaders of our freedom move- .ment were inspired and profoundly influenced by the Great October Revolu- tion which provided an impetus to the liberation movements in Asia and .other parts of the world. I may also perhaps recall that when the Soviet Union was engaged in a grim struggle against the Nazi invasion. the Indi8l1 National Congress passed a resolution expressing, on behalf of the Indian people. their sympathy and admiration for the astonishing self sacrifice and heroic courage of the Soviet people in the defence of their country and freedom. With all this background, what was more natural than that after India became free, friendship with the Soviet Union should have come to ·occupy a place of primacy in her foreign relations. Our people have had great admiration for the vitality and determina- -tion that the Soviet people demonstrated through their spectacular progress in various fields of industry, science, technology and space. In India even in the hour of freedom our leaders were clear in -their minds that political 'emancipation was incomplete without economic growth and socia-economic justice. And ever since our Independence, we are accordingly engaged "in a massive programme of planned economic growth in order to lay the foundation of a self-relient economy and bring about betterment in the "living standards of our people. In this giganti(; task, how can one forget the crucial role played and coopeartion extended by the friendly Soviet Union. The contribution of that country in key sectors of our economy like steel, machine building, power, oil production and refining, has helped us to build the necessary industrial infra-structure of our country. Your Excellency, we know well your own keen personal interest in India's deve- lopmental efforts and her progress. A speci!!J feature of the Soviet assis- tance has been that it has helped our public sector which now occupies the commanding heights of our country's economy. Dhilai, Dokaro and Mathura wiU ever stand out as symbols of Indo-Soviet collaboration. Not surprisingly, the trade between the two countries has been steadily 'expanding over the years, and it is heartening to note that Our economic relations are now beginning to assume new dimensions. The Indo-Soviet loint Economic Commission is engaged in a continuing search for identifi- cation ot new areas of cooperation a wider development of industrial colla- 'boration with exchange of technologies and undertaking joint ventures in the Third Countries. In Our world there is growing interdependence and in it peace and human happiness are indivisible. All the countries of the world t-oday do desire peace as a pre-condition for progress. In order to widen the area ?f p::ace and limit the consequences of tension, India's approach in her lDternatlonal relations has been one of non-alignment and independence of judgement, a policy which, we are happy to say, the Soviet Union has always 462 Journal 0/ ParUamentary In/ormation appreciated. Both India and Soviet Union have been consistently working together for the strengthening of universal peace and indepedence of nations, against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism and racial discrimination and in defence of freedom of all peoples on the basis of full equality and mutual respect. Indo-Soviet friendship is based on a mutually shared vision of a world where all nations live in a peace and prosperity. Our friendship is an out· standing example of two countries with different socio-economic systems collaborating for mutual benefit and the larger good of mankind. This visit of yours, Your Excellency, we are sure, will be an important landmark in our relationship which will further strengthen the close ties of under- standing and friendship that bind us together. May I now request you. Your Excellency, to deliver your address? ADDRESS By MR. LEONID ILYICH BREZHNEV, GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE CENTRAL CoMMITTEE OF THE OPSU AND- PRESIDENT OF THE SUPREME SoVIET OF THE U .S.S.R. First of all, I would like to thank you for -this opportunity to speak from this high rostrum and to convey to you, BiIld through you to the entire Indian people, heartiest greetings and good wishes from the USSR Supreme Soviet, from the entire Soviet people.

Department of POLITICAL SCIENCE The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT This study is rooted in a theoretical interest in the development of parties that appeal mainly to primordial ties. The claims of social relationships based on tribe, race, language or religion have the capacity to rival the civil order of the state for the loyalty of its citizens, thus threatening to undermine its political authority. This phenomenon is endemic to most Asian and African states. Most previous research has argued that political competition in such contexts encourages the formation of primordially based parties whose activities threaten the integrity of these states.

  • Indian Politics and Society Since Independence: Events, Processes
    Indian Politics and Society since Independence This book focuses on politics and society in India. It explores new areas enmeshed in the complex social, economic and political processes in the country. Linking structural characteristics with broader sociological context, the book emphasizes the strong influence of sociological issues on politics, such as the shaping of the social milieu and the articulation of the political in day-to-day events. Political events are connected with the ever-changing social, economic and political proc- esses in order to provide an analytical framework to explain ‘peculiarities’ of Indian politics. The main argument of the book is that three major ideological influences have provided the foundational values of Indian politics: colonialism, nationalism and democracy. The colonial, nationalist and democratic articulation of the political have shaped Indian politics in a complex way. Structured themati- cally, with a multitude of pedagogical features, this work is a useful text for stu- dents of political science, sociology and South Asian Studies. Bidyut Chakrabarty is Professor of the Department of Political Science at the University of Delhi. His main research areas are public administration and mod- ern Indian political thought. He has published extensively on the subjects, and is the author of The Partition of Bengal and Assam, 1932–47 (Routledge, 2004), Social and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi, 1933–1943 (Routledge, 2006), Forging Power: Coalition Politics in India (Oxford University Press, 2006),
