Abstracts Oct to Dec 2006
The Indian Journal of Political Science Vol. IXVII, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2006 IDEOLOGY, VIOLENCE AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT Munmun Jha This paper discusses the most significant issue that has caused severe divisions among the various human rights non-governmental organizations in India, the issue of violence by armed political groups called the Naxalites. The dilemma has deep roots as the attitudes of the rights organizations are shaped by their distinct histories, their ideological positions and practical grassroots realities. The paper argues that a policy of not condemning Naxalite violence by a significant number of rights organizations has severe implications for the rights movement in the country in terms of its autonomy and credibility, and its capacity to be effective. Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. —Samuel Coleridge The Indian Journal of Political Science Vol. LXVII, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2006 CHALLENGES TO THE UNITED NATIONS IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER Chaiulrakant Yatnoor It is not surprising that the UN with large number of members has difficulty in responding adequately to the emerging challenges and problems in the 21st century. But it cannot be denied that its response does make a real difference and it may be imperfect but it was not designed to take us to heaven but it would surely save us from another hell. Ultimately, it is a ship sailing in stormy waters. But it is unfair to blame the vessel for the storm (the emerging problems and challenges), which beset it. The UN is trying to cope with the world' problems, and in the last resort, it is the political will of the Member States which will determine our success in. -

PREM BHASIN by QURBAN ALI Qurban Ali
PREM BHASIN BY QURBAN ALI Qurban Ali Veteran freedom fighter and a great socialist leader, Prem Bhasin was born at Rawalpindi on 27th December 1917. He was educated at Rawalpindi and Lahore. He attended Karachi Congress (AICC) in 1931. Prem Bhasin joined the freedom struggle actively in 1939, after he secured his Master's Degree in Political Science and started to work as a full-timer of the Congress Socialist Party (CSP). He came from a family of freedom fighters and took to revolutionary work under the direction of the Party. He was arrested in 1941 and was released in 1946. During the jail term he and other socialists went on a hunger strike in sympathy with the hunger strikers detained in the Deoli camp jail in Rajasthan under the leadership of Shri Jayaprakash Narayan. After release from jail, Prem Bhasin continued to work as party organiser in the Punjab and was elected to its National Executive Committee in the 5th Kanpur National Conference 1947. In the Nasik Conference of the Socialist Party in 1948, he was appointed as one of the Joint Secretaries, a post he held till 1953 and later from 1954 to 1963, when he was elected as General Secretary. In 1952, the Party took the name of Praja Socialist Party (PSP) as a result of unification with the KMPP and the Forward Bloc. He gave up that office in 1971 after the unification of the PSP with the SSP (In between he was Joint Secretary of SSP in 1964-65, briefly when S M Joshi was the President and Raj Narain was General Secretary). -
Jayaprakash: the Road Back to Gandhi New Delhi, India January 3, 1958 Mr
INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS WDF-22 c/o American Embassy Jayaprakash: The Road Back to Gandhi New Delhi, India January 3, 1958 Mr. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 522 Fifth Aenue New York 36, New York Dear Mr. Rogers: ,,Jayaprakash,"-" said Prime Minister Nehru to an American journalist a few years ago, is the future Prime Minister of India." Een with ehru's blessing i.t would not hae been easy, for Jayaprakash Narayan became head of the Praja Socialist Party, hich steed a poor second to ehru's Indian ational Congress. Nevertheless, he was youthful, vigor- ous, articulate, honest, prestigious and popular. Me had an excellent ,independence record (the Indian equivalent of the ar records,,), and he attracted large numbers" of politically minded youth who found the Con- gress too stolid and the Communist Party too extravagant. Today, Jayaprakash is most unlikely to become a Prime Minister of India. He has left ",party and power politics", and joined the Bhoodan (Land-gift) movement led by Vinoba Bhave. Indeed he has made ivandan the gift of one's life, to the ideal of Saro.da_a_, or voluntary XTZ' tarian+/-sm. In so doing, Jayapraks;sh has--diSapponted a lot of Praja 2oclalists, and many Indians who hoped that he would lead his party to become the Opposition in a two-party system o government. He also dis- appointed some who wonder, with some anxiety, who will lead India after lehru leaves the scene. Jayaprakash is still celebrated---he is known at J.P. ,:,, with all the fame that the abbreviation implies. -

Public Accounts Committee
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE Introduction In a parliamentary democracy like ours, the Committee system assumes great importance. Administrative accountability to the legislature becomes the sine qua non of such a parliamentary system. The check that Parliament exercises over the executive stems from the basic principle that Parliament embodies the will of the people and it must, therefore, be able to supervise the manner in which public policy laid down by Parliament is carried out. However, the phenomenal proliferation of governmental activities has made the task of legislatures very complex and diversified. By its very nature, Parliament, as a body cannot have an effective control over the government and the whole gamut of its activities. Administrative accountability to the legislature through Committees has been the hallmark of our political system. The Committee on Public Accounts enjoys the place of pride in our Committee System. Genesis of the Committee The Committee on Public Accounts was first set up in 1921 in the wake of the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms. The Finance Member of the Executive Council used to be the Chairman of the Committee. The Secretariat assistance to the Committee was rendered by the then Finance Department (now the Ministry of Finance). This position continued right up to 1949. During the days of the Interim Government, the then Finance Minister acted as the Chairman of the Committee, and later on, after the attainment of Independence in August, 1947, the Finance Minister became the Chairman. This naturally restricted the free expression of views and criticism of the Executive. The Committee on Public Accounts underwent a radical change with the coming into force of the Constitution of India on 26 January, 1950, when the Committee became a Parliamentary Committee functioning under the control of the Speaker with a non-official Chairman appointed by the Speaker from among the Members of Lok Sabha elected to the Committee.
