    DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL POLITICS IN INDIA: A STUDY OF COALITION OF POLITICAL PARTIB IN UHAR PRADESH ABSTRACT THB8IS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF fioctor of ^IHloKoplip IN POLITICAL SaENCE BY TABRBZ AbAM Un<l«r tht SupMvMon of PBOP. N. SUBSAHNANYAN DEPARTMENT Of POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALI6ARH (INDIA) The thesis "Development of Regional Politics in India : A Study of Coalition of Political Parties in Uttar Pradesh" is an attempt to analyse the multifarious dimensions, actions and interactions of the politics of regionalism in India and the coalition politics in Uttar Pradesh. The study in general tries to comprehend regional awareness and consciousness in its content and form in the Indian sub-continent, with a special study of coalition politics in UP., which of late has presented a picture of chaos, conflict and crise-cross, syndrome of democracy. Regionalism is a manifestation of socio-economic and cultural forces in a large setup. It is a psychic phenomenon where a particular part faces a psyche of relative deprivation. It also involves a quest for identity projecting one's own language, religion and culture. In the economic context, it is a search for an intermediate control system between the centre and the peripheries for gains in the national arena. The study begins with the analysis of conceptual aspect of regionalism in India. It also traces its historical roots and examine the role played by Indian National Congress. The phenomenon of regionalism is a pre-independence problem which has got many manifestation after independence. It is also asserted that regionalism is a complex amalgam of geo-cultural, economic, historical and psychic factors.

Emerging from the Emergency: women in Indira Gandhi’s India, 1975-1977 Gemma Scott Doctor of Philosophy in History March 2018 Keele University Abstract India’s State of Emergency (1975-1977) is a critical period in the independent nation’s history. The government’s suspension of democratic norms and its institution of many, now infamous repressive measures have been the subject of much commentary. However, scholars have not examined Emergency politics from a gendered perspective. Women’s participation in support for and resistance to the regime and their experiences of its programmes are notably absent from historiography. This thesis addresses this gap and argues that a gendered perspective enhances our understanding of this critical period in India’s political history. It assesses the importance of gendered narratives and women to the regime’s dominant political discourses. I also analyse women’s experiences of Emergency measures, particularly the regime’s coercive sterilisation programme and use of preventive detention to repress dissent. I explore how gendered power relations and women’s status affected the implementation of these measures and people’s attempts to negotiate and resist them.

    © 2018 IJRAR January 2019, Volume 6, Issue 1 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) INDIAN DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT: AN OVERVIEW Dr. J. Saravanan Assistant Professor School of Business Studies and Social Sciences “Many forms of Government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time”. --Winston Churchill 1 Abstract India is the largest democracy in the world. The foundation for Indian democracy was laid much before independence. Many factors played crucial role in making India as a democratic country. Firstly, India’s prominent leaders involved in gaining freedom from Britishers’ were educated from London. Secondly, after the Second World War, the waves of democracy had swept India along with many other colonial countries. Thirdly, the ancient Indian culture had features of democracy in it, therefore it had comfortably adapted to it. After India received her Independence, many Western scholars such as Lucian Pye and Mill had raised doubt over the life of Indian democracy. John Stuart Mill, an exponent of an authority on representative institutions of modern democracy, subtly expressed his apprehensions over the possibility of success in the functioning of Parliamentary institutions in plural societies. He remarked that the deeply divided communities on ethnic basis will not sustain Parliamentary democracy. It was further strengthened by Lucian W. Pye by bringing enough evidences to portray that the political processes and performances of the democratic institutions are influenced by ethnic considerations.

  • 12Th Political Science Notes Chapter
    CLASS:--12TH POLITICAL SCIENCE NOTES CHAPTER:- 15 THE CRISIS OF DEMOCRACY ORDER 1. The non-Congress parties opposed the Congress due to personalisation of politics. The ‘Marxist-Leninist’ groups were strong in West-Bengal, which used arms and insurgent techniques to overthrow capitalist order to establish political system. But the state government took stringent measures to suppress them. 2. The first nationwide Satyagraha was organised by Jayaprakash Narayan for Indira Gandhi’s resignation. He made people aware not to obey illegal and ‘immoral orders’ by a massive demonstration in Delhi’s Ramlila ground on June 25, 1975, as well as Indira Gandhi’s elections were also declared invalid on grounds to use government servants inter-election campaign on an election petition filed by Raj Narain, a socialist leader. 3. Railway strike of 1974 was called by ‘National Coordination Committee’ led by George Fernandes for pressing their demands related to bonus and service conditions. The government declared the strike illegal and deployed the territorial army to protect railway trades. Thus, strike was called off after twenty days without any settlement. 4. Before, the declaration of emergency, many differences arose between the government and the ruling party leading to a strain between judiciary, legislature and executive on issues of intervention in constitutional provisions by government or parliament. It was proved in the case of Keshavanand Bharti, where the judiciary declared that parliament cannot amend in constitutional basic features in a controversial manner. It mixed up constitutional interpretations and political ideologies rapidly. 5. In response to Raj Narain’s petition, on 25 June 1975, the government declared emergency on recommendation of Prime Minister on a ground of threat of international disturbances, which invoked Article 352 of Constitution to bring law and order, restore efficiency and above all, implement the pro- poor welfare programmes.

  • Post-Emergency: Restoration and Resurgence (1977-1980) , Course- 203(II- SEM ,Category I)
    Post-Emergency: Restoration and Resurgence (1977-1980) , Course- 203(II- SEM ,Category I) 1 INTRODUCTION The 1977 was the historic year in the life of the Indian democracy: an attempt to legitimize authoritarian tendencies and personalization of state power through democratic elections was out rightly rejected by the voters; Indian National Congress’s monopoly to rule at the centre was ended; a non-Congress political formation for the first time came to power as Union government; fundamental rights and civil liberties of citizens and freedom of the print media suspended during the emergency were restored; endangered independence of higher judiciary was protected; and finally, democracy was saved and brought back to the proper political track. Additional to that, a demand for autonomy to the broadcast and telecast media got a boost. An attempt has been made to critically examine the role that the mass media played in the immediate post-Emergency democratic process of India, and also to analyze the contributions of the short lived Janata Government’s corrective as well as preventive constitutional and political measures in restoring, securing, and consolidating the democratic institutions and processes. A surprising as well as pleasant development were the pro-active role that the print media played in digging out the truth and in exposing the government machinery, party in power, and individuals with extra-constitutional authority who were responsible for either of abusing or of misusing of state power in the name of security of the state, preservation of social order and peace, and promotion of economic prosperity among the rural and urban poor and weaker sections of society.

  • Understanding the Puzzle of Healthcare Use: Evidence from India
    Understanding the Puzzle of Primary Health-care Use: Evidence from India Pramod Kumar Sur Asian Growth Research Institute (AGI) and Osaka University [email protected] Abstract In India, households’ use of primary health-care services presents a puzzle. Even though most private health-care providers have no formal medical qualifications, a significant fraction of households use fee-charging private health-care services, which are not covered by insurance. Although the absence of public health-care providers could partially explain the high use of the private sector, this cannot be the only explanation. The private share of health-care use is even higher in markets where qualified doctors offer free care through public clinics; despite this free service, the majority of health-care visits are made to providers with no formal medical qualifications. This paper examines the reasons for the existence of this puzzle in India. Combining contemporary household-level data with archival records, I examine the aggressive family planning program implemented during the emergency rule in the 1970s and explore whether the coercion, disinformation, and carelessness involved in implementing the program could partly explain the puzzle. Exploiting the timing of the emergency rule, state-level variation in the number of sterilizations, and an instrumental variable approach, I show that the states heavily affected by the sterilization policy have a lower level of public health-care usage today. I demonstrate the mechanism for this practice by showing that the states heavily affected by forced sterilizations have a lower level of confidence in government hospitals and doctors and a higher level of confidence in private hospitals and doctors in providing good treatment.
