(ii) Statement by Government accepting the above Report. 2. RULING BY CHAIRMAN The Chairman gave the following Ruling :- Hon'ble Members may recall the on 23rd July, 1998 while a Special Mention was being made regarding "decision of the Mahdya Pradesh Government to hand over diamond deposits in Behradin Block in Raipur District to a Mumbai-based Diamond Consortium for exploration and exploration of diamonds", I had suspended the Special Mention when some Members raised the following objections :- (i) Shri Vayalar Ravi's objection was that the subject matter of the Special Mention, being a State subject, could not be raised in the House. (ii) Shri Pranab Mukherjee's objections were regarding- (a) the use of particular expression by Shri Gurudas Das Gupta while addressing the Chair; and (b) the propriety of any member makings insinuation against a State Government. 2. I had stated that I would examine the matter and give a Ruling. My Ruling is as follows : 3. I will first address the objection of Shri Vayalar Ravi. I find that Entry 54 of the Union List, read with Entry 23 of State List, in the 7th Schedule of the constitution and provision of the Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957 as also available precedents, make amply clear that the Central Government have authority with reference to prospecting and mining, particularly of precious stones. no prospecting or mining lease can be granted by any state Government except with the prior approval of Central Government. 4. I have also gone through the reply given on 20th July, 1998 to Unstarred Question No. 3627 of Shri Raghavji and Shri Govindram Miri by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Steel and Mines which inter-alia stated that no prospecting licence or mining lease for precious stones, such as Diamonds, could be granted by State Government except with the previous approval of the Central Government under the Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957. 5. In the light of these facts, it is evident that prospecting and mining of precious stones attracts the authority of the Union Government therefore can be raised in the House. 6. The objection of Shri Vayalar Ravi is thus not maintainable and accordingly I overrule it. 7. I now turn to the points raised by Shri Pranab Mukherjee. As regards his point on the use of an expression while addressing the Chair I am of the opinion that, that expression is not commensurate with the dignity of the Chair, to whom that expression was addressed. Therefore, I have decided to expunge that expression from the records of the proceedings. 8. His second objection was with regard to the propriety of the insinuation against a State Government by a Member of the House who, while making his submission, stated that there was some exchange of benefit etc. I have seen the record and found that Shri Gurudas Das Gupta had used such an expression. The rules, practice and etiquette of the house require that Members should not raise questions which are ironical expressions, imputations and deframatory. Rule 238 (vii) is specific in this behalf. members are expected to maintain decorum and digniy in debates. Similarly Rule 47(2) (iv) and Rule 139 (ii) indicate that questions and motions will not contain arguments, inferences, ironical expressions, imputation or defamatory statements. I have accordingly decided that the insinuating or defamatory remarks regarding the Government of Madhya Pradesh of Shri Gurudas Das Gupta be expunged under Rule 261. The secretariat will convey the expunged portions of the proceedings to the members concerned. 9. The matter now stands closed. 3. GOVERNMENT MOTION Shrimati Maneka Gandhi (Minister of State (Independent Charge) in the Ministry of Welfare replied to the following Motion moved by her on the 1st December, 1998: "That this House do consider the Thirtieth Report of the erstwhile Commissioner for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for the year 1989-91 laid on the Table of Rajya Sabha on the 27th July, 1998." The discussion was concluded. 4. SHORT DURATION DISCUSSION Shri Pranab Mukherjee raised a discussion on the current economic situation and its implications on various aspects of Indian Economy including price rise and recession. (The House adjourned for lunch at 1.04 p.m. and re-assembled at 2.08 p.m.) Members took part in the discussion. The discussion was not concluded. (The House adjourned at 5.03 p.m. till 11.00 a.m. on Tuesday, the 8th December, 1998.) .

  • The Fall-Out of a New Political Regime in India
    ASIEN, (Juli 1998) 68, S. 5-20 The Fall-out of a New Political Regime in India Dietmar Rothermund Eine "rechte" Koalition geführt von der Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hat das "Congress System" abgelöst, das darin bestand, daß sich eine "Zentrumspartei" durch die Polarisation von rechter und linker Opposition an der Macht erhielt. Wahlallianzen der BJP haben regionalen Parteien zu Sitzen verholfen, die früher im Schatten der nationalen Parteien standen. So verschaffte sich die BJP Koali- tionspartner. Die Wähler haben der BJP kein überzeugendes Mandat erteilt, dennoch führte sie ihr Programm durch, zu dem die Atomtests gehörten, die dann in der Bevölkerung breite Zustimmung fanden. Die BJP fühlt sich so dazu ermutigt, eine sehr selbstbewußte Außenpolitik zu betreiben. Dazu gehört auch die Betonung der wirtschaftlichen Eigenständigkeit (Swadeshi). Der am 1.6.1998 vorgelegte Staatshaushalt zeigt kein Entgegenkommen gegenüber ausländischen Investoren. Den angekündigten amerikanischen Sanktionen wurde mit einer Rücklage begegnet und die Verteidigungsausgaben um 14 Prozent erhöht. The formation of a government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is certainly a new departure in Indian politics. All previous governments were formed either by the Indian National Congress or by politicians who had earlier belonged to that party. The BJP and its precursor the Bharatiya Jan Sangh had always been in the opposition with the exception of the brief interlude of the Janata government (1977- 1980) in which the present Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, held the post of Minister of External Affairs. The BJP has consistently stood for Hindu nationalism and has attacked the secularism of the Congress as a spurious ideology which should be replaced by genuine secularism.

  • The Saffron Wave Meets the Silent Revolution: Why the Poor Vote for Hindu Nationalism in India
    THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tariq Thachil August 2009 © 2009 Tariq Thachil THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA Tariq Thachil, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 How do religious parties with historically elite support bases win the mass support required to succeed in democratic politics? This dissertation examines why the world’s largest such party, the upper-caste, Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has experienced variable success in wooing poor Hindu populations across India. Briefly, my research demonstrates that neither conventional clientelist techniques used by elite parties, nor strategies of ideological polarization favored by religious parties, explain the BJP’s pattern of success with poor Hindus. Instead the party has relied on the efforts of its ‘social service’ organizational affiliates in the broader Hindu nationalist movement. The dissertation articulates and tests several hypotheses about the efficacy of this organizational approach in forging party-voter linkages at the national, state, district, and individual level, employing a multi-level research design including a range of statistical and qualitative techniques of analysis. In doing so, the dissertation utilizes national and author-conducted local survey data, extensive interviews, and close observation of Hindu nationalist recruitment techniques collected over thirteen months of fieldwork. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Tariq Thachil was born in New Delhi, India. He received his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Stanford University in 2003.
