  • Dalit Factor in Bihar's Politics
    7. The (Maha) Dalit Factor in Bihar’s Politics Shreyas Sardesai* Until the 2010 election for the Bihar Assembly, elections in the state were largely analysed in terms of a six caste categories – Upper castes, Yadavs, other OBCs, Pasis, other Dalits and Muslims. Since 2007 however, Bihar politics has witnessed new developments and the caste dimension of elections cannot be fully understood without taking into account two additional caste categories, namely EBCs or Extremely Backward Classes, and Mahadalits. This chapter seeks to analyse the emergence of latter and its implications. In August 2007, the Nitish Kumar led JDU-BJP government set up the Bihar State Mahadalit Commission to “identify the castes within Scheduled Castes who lagged behind in the development process” and to “study [their] educational and social status and suggest measures for [their] upliftment”. In April 2008, 18 Dalit castes were brought under the Mahadalit category to begin with. These are Bantar, Bauri, Bhogta, Bhuiya, Chaupal, Dabgar, Dom/Dhangad, Ghasi, Halalkhor, Hari/Mehtar/Bhangi, Kanjar, Kurariar, Lalbegi, Musahar, Nat, Pan/Swasi, Rajwar and Turi. Three months later Dhobi and Pasi castes were also added to the Mahadalit category based on the Commission’s recommendation and then Chamars were also included in the Mahadalit category by the state government in November 2009 on the grounds that they too were lagging in literacy and economic status and were victims of untouchability at the hands of other Mahadalit castes1. The only sub-caste that was left out was Paswan or Dusadh *Author is Research Associate at Lokniti, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar | Patna: Two years after prohibiting sale and consumption of alcohol, the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar is contemplating a ban on 'khaini' (unprocessed tobacco), an official said. The state has written to the Union Health Ministry for intervention to facilitate introducing a ban on khaini, consumption of which is responsible for a number of serious ailments, the state's principal secretary (health) Sanjay Kumar told PTI. "Pan masala and gutkha are already banned in the state as these are enlisted among food products by the FSSAI.

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.

  • Bihar's Political Reform and Its Impact on the Rest of India
    :: Issue Analysis Bihar’s political reform and its impact on the rest of India Santosh Kumar Business Analyst of POSCO Research Institutes, Delhi office ihar, the poorest state of India, has finally turned around both economically and politically and is seen as the biggest achievement of India. On the one hand, it achieved an B unprecedented growth rate of 11.35% (only second to Gujarat at 11.05%) in past five years and, on the other, it also broke out of the shackles of caste-ridden politics and overwhelmingly voted for developmental politics in the Assembly election in November 2010 under the leadership of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Chief Minister (CM), Nitish Kumar. Bihar’s turnaround has now made Bihar a role model of vikas ki rajneeti (development-led politics) and sushasan (good governance) for the rest of India. There is popular perception that if Bihar, India’s most laggard state, can change, no one can stop India from becoming a world economic superpower. 123 Summer 2011�POSRI Chindia Quarterly Bihar Fact File Total Area 94,163㎢ Population 83 millions (3rd largest) Youth Population 58% (largest in India) Literacy 47% (2001) No. of Districts (Towns) 38 (130) Capital City Patna Urbanization 10.5% Road Length 82,959 kms Railway Length 5,400 kms Airports Patna & Gaya Economy Bases Service & agriculture Minerals Limestone, mica, gold Language Hindi, Urdu & English Religion Hindus (83%) Local Assembly 243 seats National Parliament 40 seats Political Parties JD(U), BJP, RJD Political Leaders Nitish, Modi, Laloo New Political Agenda Development with justice ○● Laloo’s Bihar (1990-2005) Bihar’s Vaishali, a place near Patna, gave the first republic to the world in 600 B.C and was one of the most powerful provinces of India throughout the Indian history.

  • The Yogi Gamble | the Indian Express 4/18/17, 10:14 AM the Yogi Gamble Adityanath’S Elevation As up CM Is a Move of Radical Novelty — and Political Risk
    The Yogi gamble | The Indian Express 4/18/17, 10:14 AM The Yogi gamble Adityanath’s elevation as UP CM is a move of radical novelty — and political risk Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. (Express photo by Vishal Srivastav) A recent visit to India made it clear that the Uttar Pradesh elections stunned not only the observer and the reporter, but also the political class. Waves are normally noisy: UP 2017 introduces a new term in our political lexicon — silent wave. It rolled by without anyone noticing it. The results raise two larger questions: Can the Muslim vote be rendered electorally irrelevant in India’s democracy? And, under what conditions would Narendra Modi, or the BJP, pick a non-RSS man to head a BJP government? The first question is connected to the idea of Hindu http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/the-yogi-gamble-4615818/ Page 1 of 5 The Yogi gamble | The Indian Express 4/18/17, 10:14 AM consolidation. The second is significant because Yogi Adityanath, UP’s new chief minister, has never been in the RSS, the mother organisation of Hindu nationalism. BJP leaders with an RSS background have been the party’s default choice for heading governments. The BJP’s UP strategy acquires tremendous clarity in retrospect — it calculated that if it ignored Muslims, Yadav OBCs and Jatav Dalits, it would still be left with roughly 60 per cent of UP’s electorate, consisting of upper castes, non-Yadav OBCs and non-Jatav Dalits. In a three-cornered contest, roughly 70 per cent of this 60 per cent — yielding 40-42 per cent of the total vote — was all that the BJP needed to win.
