Red Bengal's Rise and Fall
kheya bag RED BENGAL’S RISE AND FALL he ouster of West Bengal’s Communist government after 34 years in power is no less of a watershed for having been widely predicted. For more than a generation the Party had shaped the culture, economy and society of one of the most Tpopulous provinces in India—91 million strong—and won massive majorities in the state assembly in seven consecutive elections. West Bengal had also provided the bulk of the Communist Party of India– Marxist (cpm) deputies to India’s parliament, the Lok Sabha; in the mid-90s its Chief Minister, Jyoti Basu, had been spoken of as the pos- sible Prime Minister of a centre-left coalition. The cpm’s fall from power also therefore suggests a change in the equation of Indian politics at the national level. But this cannot simply be read as a shift to the right. West Bengal has seen a high degree of popular mobilization against the cpm’s Beijing-style land grabs over the past decade. Though her origins lie in the state’s deeply conservative Congress Party, the challenger Mamata Banerjee based her campaign on an appeal to those dispossessed and alienated by the cpm’s breakneck capitalist-development policies, not least the party’s notoriously brutal treatment of poor peasants at Singur and Nandigram, and was herself accused by the Communists of being soft on the Maoists. The changing of the guard at Writers’ Building, the seat of the state gov- ernment in Calcutta, therefore raises a series of questions. First, why West Bengal? That is, how is it that the cpm succeeded in establishing -
Assessing the Promise and Limitations of Joint Forest Management in an Era of Globalisation: the Case of West Bengal.1
Assessing the promise and limitations of Joint Forest Management in an era of globalisation: the case of West Bengal.1 Douglas Hill, Australian National University. Introduction This paper seeks to interrogate the claims of the dominant discourses of globalisation with regard to their compatibility with mechanisms for empowering marginalised communities and providing a basis for sustainable livelihood strategies. These concerns are examined from the perspective of the development experience of India, including the New Economic Policy (NEP) regime initiated in India in 1991, and its subsequent structural transformation towards greater conformity with the imperatives of ‘economic liberalisation’. It suggests that the Indian institutional structure of development has been such that resources have been unequally distributed and that this has reinforced certain biases particularly on a caste/class and gender basis. The analysis suggests that these biases have reduced the legitimacy of previous models of resource management and continue to hamper the prospects of current formulations. These concerns are analysed utilising an examination of the management of forest-based Common Property Resources (CPRs) within the context of rural West Bengal, specifically the system of Joint Forest Management (JFM) i. Such an examination is pertinent since those communities dependent upon CPRs for a substantial part of their subsistence requirements are amongst the most vulnerable strata of society. As Agrawhal, (1999), Platteau (1999, 1997) and others have argued, these CPRs function as a “social safety net” or “fall-back position”ii. This should be seen within the broader context of rural development, since the success or failure of the total rural development environment including poverty alleviation programs, agriculture, rural credit and employment (both on and off farm), will influence the relative dependence on these CPRs. -

RICHARD BowNAS THE NEPALESE MAOIST MovEMENT IN CoMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE: LEARNIN G FROM THE H ISTORY OF NAXALISM IN INDIA This paper compares the contemporary Maoist movement in Nepal with the Naxalite movemelll in India, from 1967 to the present. The paper touches on three main areas: the two movemems' ambiguous relationship to ethnicity, the hi stories of prior 'traditional' m obilization that bo th move ments drew on, and the relationship between vanguard and mass movement in both cases. The first aim of the paper is to show how the Naxalite movemem has transformed itself over the last 35 years and how its military tacti cs and organizational· form have changed . I then ask whether Nepal's lvla o ists more closely resemble the earli er phase of Naxali sm , in which the leadership had broad popular appeal and worked closely with its peasant base, o r its later phase, in which the leadership became dise ngaged fr om its base and adopted urban 'terror' tactics. -

The Maoist movement highlights India’s interior weaknesses, which makes India also vulnerable to external threats. As part of globalization, threats such as the Naxalite movement can no longer be viewed as simply internal as it also affects external security. This paper most vividly tries to carve out the niche and the root cause of the naxalism in present scenario. The Government of India had made certain provisions were made to stop the influx and to rehabilitate the affected population. And the problem lies on the grass root level of its implementations. Now the problem lies how these laws and provisions can be communicated to the isolated mass in an substantiated way. In Short, in this study we attempt to find out the Causes and Solutions for Naxalite Movement in India. 1. Introduction The term 'Naxal' derives from the name of the village Naxalbari in West Bengal, where the movement had its origin. The Naxals are considered far-left radical communists, supportive of Maoist political sentiment and ideology. -

Bhattacharya Learning to Serve Administrative Training Institute Government of West Bengal Page 4 of 4 Block FC, Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) Kolkata-700106 Page 5 of 5 PREFACE New entrants to the Indian Administrative Service and the West Bengal Civil Service (Executive) have to maintain a Training Diary as part of their district training. While supervising their work in the districts, the ATI faculty has found that in the majority of cases the probationers do not maintain their diaries properly, although these are intended to be records of the details of the training they undergo so that superior officers can check whether they have assimilated the proper lessons from the exposure in the field. During interactions with their Counsellors in the ATI, the trainees have complained that they are handicapped by not having an example to follow. A similar handicap has been reported regarding writing reports of enquiries assigned to probationers in the district. In view of this feedback, the ATI is publishing the diary I maintained in detail as probationer in Malda in 1972, trusting that it will provide civil service probationers with an example of how a training diary can be maintained. We were supposed to send the National Academy of Administration an official training diary and also maintain a personal one. -
Conflict, Violence, Causes and Effects of Naxalism: in Vidarbha
Volume: 5 | Issue: 11 | November 2019 || SJIF Impact Factor: 5.614||ISI I.F Value: 1.188 ISSN (Online): 2455-3662 EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR) Peer Reviewed Journal CONFLICT, VIOLENCE, CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF NAXALISM: IN VIDARBHA Dr. Deoman S. Umbarkar Assistant Professor, Dept. of Sociology, Late V.K. College, Rohana, Tah. Arvi, Distt. Wardha, Maharashtra, India. ABSTRACT This paper poses two questions : is it a fact that there is more violence in Naxalite (i.e. Maoist) affected districts compared to districts which are free of Naxalite activity? can the fact that Naxalite activity exists in some districts of India but not in others, be explained by differences between districts in their economic and social conditions? Using a number of sources, this study identifies districts in India in which there was significant Naxalite activity. Correlating these findings with district level economic, social and crime indicators, the econometric results show that, after controlling for other variables, Naxalite activity in a district had, if anything, dampening effect on its level of violent crime and crimes against women. Furthermore, even after controlling for other variables, the probability of a district being Naxalite affected rose with an increase in its poverty rate and fell with a rise in its literacy rate. So, one prong in an anti-Naxalite strategy would be to address the twin issues of poverty ad illiteracy in India. As the simulations reported in the paper show, this might go a considerable way in ridding districts of Naxalite presence.
