  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

  • Failure of the Mahagathbandhan
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Failure of the Mahagathbandhan In the Lok Sabha elections of 2019 in Uttar Pradesh, the contest was keenly watched as the alliance of the Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, and Rashtriya Lok Dal took on the challenge against the domination of the Bharatiya Janata Party. What contributed to the continued good performance of the BJP and the inability of the alliance to assert its presence is the focus of analysis here. In the last decade, politics in Uttar Pradesh (UP) has seen radical shifts. The Lok Sabha elections 2009 saw the Congress’s comeback in UP. It gained votes in all subregions of UP and also registered a sizeable increase in vote share among all social groups. The 2012 assembly elections gave a big victory to the Samajwadi Party (SP) when it was able to get votes beyond its traditional voters: Muslims and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The 2014 Lok Sabha elections saw the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning 73 seats with its ally Apna Dal. It was facilitated by the consolidation of voters cutting across caste and class, in favour of the party. Riding on the popularity of Narendra Modi, the BJP was able to trounce the regional parties and emerge victorious in the 2017 assembly elections as well. But, against the backdrop of anti-incumbency, an indifferent economic record, and with the coming together of the regional parties, it was generally believed that the BJP would not be able to replicate its success in 2019. However, the BJP’s performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections shows its continued domination over the politics of UP.

  • The State, Democracy and Social Movements
    The Dynamics of Conflict and Peace in Contemporary South Asia This book engages with the concept, true value, and function of democracy in South Asia against the background of real social conditions for the promotion of peaceful development in the region. In the book, the issue of peaceful social development is defined as the con- ditions under which the maintenance of social order and social development is achieved – not by violent compulsion but through the negotiation of intentions or interests among members of society. The book assesses the issue of peaceful social development and demonstrates that the maintenance of such conditions for long periods is a necessary requirement for the political, economic, and cultural development of a society and state. Chapters argue that, through the post-colo- nial historical trajectory of South Asia, it has become commonly understood that democracy is the better, if not the best, political system and value for that purpose. Additionally, the book claims that, while democratization and the deepening of democracy have been broadly discussed in the region, the peace that democracy is supposed to promote has been in serious danger, especially in the 21st century. A timely survey and re-evaluation of democracy and peaceful development in South Asia, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of South Asian Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies and Asian Politics and Security.

But the electoral cycle never really ceases in India and there is hardly a month that goes by without an election of some sort. The latest round of elections held on 21 August was not part of the normal electoral cycle, but one necessitated by either the death of an incumbent or the seat having been vacated for some other reason. What made the by-elections significant was that 18 seats spread across the states of Bihar, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka went to polls. The results, announced on 25 August, were disappointing for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which will soon complete 100 days in government at the Centre. The BJP and its allies won eight seats while the Congress and regional parties won 10. Re-alignment in Bihar Of the 18 seats where elections were held, the eastern state of Bihar had the lion’s share with 10 seats. Bihar was also important for another reason. A new political formation, with rival leaders 1 Dr Ronojoy Sen is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS), an autonomous research institute at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and at the Asia Research Institute (ARI) at NUS.

  • Role of Caste System in Bihar Assembly Politics
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 10 October 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Role Of Caste System in Bihar Assembly Politics: A critical Analysis Dr.Binita Supriya Assistant professor, Dept of Political Science, Rajkiya Sanskriti College, patna, Abstract: The caste system in Bihar Assembly politics has traditionally influenced by caste, religion and gender biased to a large extent. It had been seen that caste based politics play a vital role in establishment of local self government and state government. since the beginning of independence era. After first general election which was held in 1951 till 1967 upper caste dominated the politics and political parties in Bihar. But after 1967, resurgence of middle caste and scheduled caste replace the upper caste in Bihar political scenario. In Bihar political system currently, there are four main political parties: Rashtriya Janata Dal ,Janata Dal United, Bhartiya Janata Party and Indian National Congress. All Four along with some smaller Regional parties like Rashtriya Lok Samta party ,Hindustan Awam Morcha, janadhikar party and many small political parties are playing vital role in Bihar politics while Lok janshakti party is also an important player in Bihar politics. These various political parties try to bring about political and socio-economic changed based on on their particular caste group. Majority of the political parties associate themselves with a particular caste like Yadav, Bhumihar, Brahmin, Rajput, Kayastha,OBC, BC, Dalit and Mahadalit. This is done for political benefits and vote bank politics. Bihar is currently Rule By Janata Dal United and Bhartiya Janata Party coalition. Bihar 52.47percent of the major population are illiterate and around 75% population resides in rural areas of Bihar and the main occupation is agriculture and labourer migrants.

  • PRESS RELEASE 29 March 2019
    PRESS RELEASE 29 March 2019 Statement by Shri Randeep Singh Surjewala, In-Charge, Communications, AICC महागठबंधन को मोदीजी के बबखरते ए महाठगबंधन को कोई ज्ञान लेने की ज़셁रत नही ं! ‘Court Jester’ of ‘महाठगबंधन’ should be the last one to write any ‘Bogus Blogs’ on Electoral Politics! Parties that propped PM Modi, now dumping the sinking ship- BJP’s Hypocrisy remain! PM Modi’s Finance Minister aka ‘Bogus Blogger’ should decide on which side of the ‘alliance argument’ the BJP stands. If the BJP stands at the ‘महाबमलावटी’ argument as espoused by PM Modi, their argument falls flat, because a 30 Member NDA, during 2014 became a 42 Member alliance in 2019. Will Shri Arun Jaitley not term this as ‘महाबमलावटी’? If the BJP stands at the argument that ‘alliances should happen in the interest of the nation’ then too – we should see how the BJP and its alliance partners have treated each other. BJP’s alliances are based on POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM, while Congress’ alliance is based on COMMON IDEOLOGY BJP has aligned with party’s that are traditionally ideological opponents – like the PDP. BJP has broken parties in smaller states like – People’s Party of Arunachal & MGP in Goa to attain power. BJP shares power with ally NPP in Meghalaya, but NPP fields candidates against them in all NE states for Lok Sabha elections. BJP’s ‘Operation Kamal’ failed miserably in Karnataka & during Gujarat Rajya Sabha elections. Since Shri Arun Jaitley does not understand the nuts and bolts of electoral politics on ground, let us give him some stark examples and show him the reality of how opportunistic and ideological deficient BJP’s so called alliances are:- Maharashtra BJP’s long term ally Shiv Sena uses ‘Chowkidar Chor Hai’, never leaves an opportunity.
