Shivaram, Senior Advocate Nani A. Palkhivala: God’s Gift to India - Savior of The Constitution of India - A Legend & A Role Model To The Tax Professionals January 16, 2021 marks a memorable day in Indian history, wherein we will be celebrating centenary of Padma Vibhushan Late Dr. N. A. Palkhivala who is widely acknowledged as ‘God’s Gift to India’. Many of us at the ITAT Bar Association (Mumbai), and the All India Federation of Tax Practitioners (AIFTP) were fortunate enough to have an opportunity to interact with Shri N. A. Palkhivala frequently and at close quarters. I had the immense privilege of being the Honorary Secretary of the ITAT Bar Association during the period that he was the President of the Association. As kindred as every personal interaction with him was, I had the occupational advantage of listening to his arguments before the High Court at Bombay, the ITAT and his speeches at various Tax Conferences. His Budget speeches were a whole different delight, enthralling an entire stadium of people with the same rapt attention that a match on the same ground would struggle to replicate till perhaps it was classified as a nail biter that went up to the last ball! Shri N. A. Palkhivala was instrumental in the formation of the ITAT Bar Association Mumbai, which was established on 18th November 1965. Shri N. A. Palkhivala Shri N. A. Palkhivala was the longest serving President of the ITAT Bar Association, a duration spanning from 1968 to 2002. Shri N. A. Palkhivala was also instrumental in the formation of AIFTP on the occasion of All India Shri N. A. Palkhivala was instrumental in the formation of the ITAT Bar Association Mumbai. He was the longest serving President of the ITAT Bar Association, a duration spanning from 1968 to 2002. Shri N. A. Palkhivala was also instrumental in the formation of AIFTP in the year 1976. National Conference, which was organised by the Chamber Shri Nani Palkhivala delivering Keynote address of Income Tax Consultants on at 1st All India Conference on Taxation on 11-11-1976. 11th November 1976 | v | | Palkhivala – Tribute | In 1996, the ITAT Bar Association Mumbai challenged the order of the Government which had the effect of interfering with the Judicial functioning of the ITAT (ITAT Bar Association v. UOI WP. No. 2350 of 1996). I, along with Mr. N. R. Jagtap and Mr. K. Gopal, Advocates had an opportunity to appear before the Bombay High Court, lead by Shri N. A. Palkhivala before the then Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, Hon’ble Justice Mr. M. B. Shah. It is said that it was his last appearance before the Court. His health did not permit him to appear thereafter in the matter, and on his request, Shri Iqbal M. Chagla, Senior Advocate, ably Assisted by Mr. Darius J. Khamabatta, Senior Advocate, argued the matter on behalf on the ITAT Bar Association Mumbai. The Independence of the Appellate Tribunal was up held, and guidelines for transfer of Hon’ble Members of the Appellate Tribunal were framed (Ajay Gandhi & Anr. v. B. Singh & Ors (2004) 265 ITR 451 (SC). In a land mark Judgement, ITAT through President v. V. K. Agarwal (1999) 235 ITR 175 (SC) the Hon’ble Court held that, the Law Secretary has no jurisdiction to interfere with the judicial functioning of the Appellate Tribunal.

  • Seeking Offense: Censorship and the Constitution of Democratic Politics in India
    SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ameya Shivdas Balsekar August 2009 © 2009 Ameya Shivdas Balsekar SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA Ameya Shivdas Balsekar, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 Commentators have frequently suggested that India is going through an “age of intolerance” as writers, artists, filmmakers, scholars and journalists among others have been targeted by institutions of the state as well as political parties and interest groups for hurting the sentiments of some section of Indian society. However, this age of intolerance has coincided with a period that has also been characterized by the “deepening” of Indian democracy, as previously subordinated groups have begun to participate more actively and substantively in democratic politics. This project is an attempt to understand the reasons for the persistence of illiberalism in Indian politics, particularly as manifest in censorship practices. It argues that one of the reasons why censorship has persisted in India is that having the “right to censor” has come be established in the Indian constitutional order’s negotiation of multiculturalism as a symbol of a cultural group’s substantive political empowerment. This feature of the Indian constitutional order has made the strategy of “seeking offense” readily available to India’s politicians, who understand it to be an efficacious way to discredit their competitors’ claims of group representativeness within the context of democratic identity politics.

Thank you for respecting the hardwork of this author. About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’. Now as the second edition is ready for release, environment has transformed radically.

  • Hindu Responses to Religious Diversity and the Nature of Post-Mortem Progress
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Hindu Responses to Religious Diversity and the Nature of Post-Mortem Progress The last two hundred years of Hindu–Christian encounters have produced distinctive forms of Hindu thought which, while often rooted in the broad philosophical-cultural continuities of Vedic outlooks, grappled with, on the one hand, the colonial pressures of European modernity, and, on the other hand, the numerous critiques by Christian theologians and missionaries on the Hindu life-worlds. Thus, the spectrum of Hindu responses from Raja Rammohun Roy through Swami Vivekananda to S. Radhakrishnan demonstrates attempts to creatively engage with Christian representations of Hindu belief and practice, by accepting their prima facie validity at one level while negating their adequacy at another. For instance, these figures of neo-Hinduism accepted that such ‘corruptions’ as Hinduism’s alleged idol- worship, anti-worldly ethic, caste-based distinctions and the like were all too visible on the socio-cultural domain, while they formulated revamped Vedic or Vedantic visions within which these were to be either rejected as excrescences or given demythologised interpretations. In Swami Vivekananda, we find on some occasions a more strident rejection of certain aspects of western civilization as steeped in materialist ‘excesses’ which needed to be purged through the light of Vedantic wisdom. Through such hermeneutical processes of retrieval, often carried out within contexts structured by British colonialism, these figures were able to offer forms of Hinduism that were signifiers not of the Oriental depravity that the British administrators, scholars and missionaries had claimed to perceive on the Indian landscapes but of a spiritual depth that transcended national, cultural and ethnic boundaries.

E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.
