  • Speech by Shri Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the President of India 13Th Convocation of the INDIAN ACADEMY of MEDICAL SCIENCES, New Delhi, January 03, 1976
    Speech by Shri Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, The President of India 13th Convocation of the INDIAN ACADEMY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, New Delhi, January 03, 1976 I deem it a privilege to have been invited to be the Chief Guest at the 13th Convocation of the Indian Academy of Medical Sciences. The Indian Academy of Medical Sciences is an association of the highest talents in the field of medical sciences. I am happy to note that the Academy is zealously striving to promote excellence in the field of medical research and education and that it plays a significant role in establishing an intellectual climate for the conduct of research in the specialized areas of medical science. India is committed to improving the quality of life and raising the standard of living of its people. To bring about this social transformation, we have adopted that method of planned development. Development, to my mind, means more the development of human quality and mental and physical resources rather than merely of material resources. If we wish individuals to have a qualitatively better life, the basic amenities incorporated in the scheme of development must cover areas of public health and health education. Science and technology will help us in solving the formidable problems facing us in the field of health and medical care only if we use them in the proper matrix and adapt them to our needs. Fight against death and disease has today become a global concern and the scientific communities of the developing world have to collectively evolve a strategy to face the spectra of disease, under‐nourishment and over population.

Viswanathan Secretary-General Lok Sabha Published under Rule 382 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha (Fourteenth Edition). Lok Sabha Secretariat New Delhi Foreword In the over six decades that our Parliament has served its exalted purpose, it has witnessed India change from a feudally administered colony to a liberal democracy that is today the world's largest and also the most diverse. For not only has it been the country's supreme legislative body it has also ensured that the individual rights of each and every citizen of India remain inviolable. Like the Parliament building itself, power as configured by our Constitution radiates out from this supreme body of people's representatives. The Parliament represents the highest aspirations of the people, their desire to seek for themselves a better life. dignity, social equity and a sense of pride in belonging to a nation, a civilization that has always valued deliberation and contemplation over war and aggression. Democracy. as we understand it, derives its moral strength from the principle of Ahimsa or non-violence. In it is implicit the right of every Indian, rich or poor, mighty or humble, male or female to be heard. The Parliament, as we know, is the highest law making body. It also exercises complete budgetary control as it approves and monitors expenditure.

  • Indian Leaders on Tibet.Pmd
    C. Rajagopalachari, the last Governor-General of India, on Tibet Brutal Colonialism in Tibet IT is difficult to find suitable words to express the sympathy that I feel in respect of this movement - of what I may call in a different sense - a movement for the liberation of Tibet. The issue of Tibet is not a question of legalistic exploration as to the sovereignty of Tibet but a question of human rights which must be decided on the plane of justice and humanity and not on the basis of any legal puzzle. Sovereignty and Suzerainty are terms which have varied from time to time in respect of their content. Whatever legal jargon might have been used from time to time, in respect of the relation between Tibet and China, in particular, and the outer world, in general, no one can doubt the fact that Tibetan people have a right to rule themselves. His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his message had made things quite clear and pointed out how even on a legalistic plane there can be no doubt about the rights of the Tibetan people to rule themselves irrespective of any belonging to other nationalities. This invasion of Tibet which terminated in His Holiness taking refuge in Indian territory is brutal colonialism. There can, therefore, be no second thoughts in the matter. All Indian people wants Tibet to be released from the grip of China. 1 Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of Indian Republic, on Tibet (Excerpts from his last public speech, Gandhi Maidan, Patna, 24 October, 1962.) FREEDOM is the most sacred boon.

This publication may not be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted without the prior permission of the publisher. For permission, please write to [email protected] Editor Harsh Singh Lohit Summary by Binit Priyaranjan Typeset by Ram Das Lal Cover design by Anando Banerjee Mir Singh and Netar Kaur, parents of Charan Singh. Village Bhadaula, District Meerut. Uttar Pradesh. 1950. Charan Singh: An Introduction Charan Singh was moulded by three key influences: his early life in a self-cultivating peasant family and the realities of the village, the teachings of Swami Dayanand Saraswati and those of Mohandas Gandhi. His thoughts, ideals and friendships took shape during the mass movement for Swaraj and freedom from colonial British rule led by Gandhi. His private and public life was one, his incorruptibility and high character recognised by all who encountered him. Singh believed deeply in a democratic society of small producers and small consumers brought together in a system not capitalist or communist instead one that addressed as a whole the uniquely Indian problems of poverty, unemployment, inequality, caste and corruption. Each of these issues remains intractable today, and his solutions as fresh and relevant to their amelioration and ultimate eradication. Charan Singh was born on 23 December 1902 in Meerut District of the United Provinces (Uttar Pradesh) in an illiterate tenant farmer’s village hut. His mental fortitude and capability were recognised early in life and he went on to acquire a B.Sc., M.A.

  • Bridling Central Tyranny in India How Regional Parties Restrain the Federal Government
    ANOOP SADANANDAN Bridling Central Tyranny in India How Regional Parties Restrain the Federal Government ABSTRACT Successive national governments in India have invoked an emergency constitutional provision to impose direct central rule in states over 100 times since 1950. However, such central government usurpation of state governance has declined since the mid- 1990s. This essay demonstrates how India’s regional parties, by entering into opportu- nistic alliances with national parties and joining coalition central governments, have become effective barriers against central dominance. It also identifies the specific dynamics through which this effective veto power is exercised. KEYWORDS: India, federalism, regional parties, Article 356, President’s Rule Article 356 of the Indian Constitution empowers the central gov- ernment in New Delhi to suspend normal governance in any federating state and impose its own rule. Although this emergency constitutional provision was intended to be used in exceptional cases, successive central governments have invoked the article frequently—over 100 times since the Constitution was adopted in 1950—and often arbitrarily, to impose central rule in various states. The central governments often did so for political reasons, usually to dismiss opposition-ruled state governments or to prevent the opposition from forming state governments after the elections. This subverted democratic and federal principles that India affirmed and aspired. However, the frequency with which India’s federal government has invoked the emergency provision has declined since the mid-1990s. For instance, in the 15 years from 1994 to 2009, there were only 11 such instances, whereas the 15 years before 1994 had witnessed 40. What has led to this decline? What factors have prevailed on the central government since the mid-1990s to stop it from imposing its rule in India’s states? Anoop Sadanandan holds a Ph.D.
