  • Political News Election
    HTTP://WWW.UPSCPORTAL.COM POLITICAL NEWS ELECTION COMMISSION AT 60 After overseeing 15 general elections to the Lok Sabha, the Election Commission of India, in its diamond jubilee year, can with justifiable pride claim to have nursed and st rengthened the electoral processes of a nascent democracy. The successes have not been consiste nt or uniform, but over the last six decades the ECI managed to make the worlds largest democratic p rocess freer and fairer. One of the instruments of this success is surely the Model Code of C onduct. D esigned to offer a level playing field to all political parties, it has been used to neu tralise many of the inherent advantages of a ruling party in an election. Although the model code wa s originally based on political consensus and does not still enjoy statutory sanction, it served as a handy tool for placing curbs on the abuse of the official machinery for campaigning. While ther e have been complaints of excess in the sometimes mindless application of the model code, th e benefits have generally outweighed the costs. After the Election Commission was made a three-member body, its functioning beca me more institutionalised and more transparent with little room for the caprices of an o verbearing personality. The diamond jubilee is also an occasion for the ECI to look at the challenges ah ead, especially those relating to criminalisation of politics and use of money power in elections. Neither of these issues is new. What is clear is that the efforts of the Commission to t ackle them have generally lacked conviction and have not yielded any significant results.

    Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 History of Beauty Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Tomo I Pepe Medel Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 Contenido general Presentación……………………………………………………………………………………………. 2 1 Septiembre……………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Octubre…………………………………………………………………………………………. 42 Noviembre……………………………………………………………………………………… 90 Diciembre………………………………………………………………………………………. 126 Presentación Muchos de los lectores de mi blog personal en Facebook History of Beauty (https://www.facebook.com/historiadelabelleza) me han solicitado que republique algunas de las notas que han considerado interesantes y que en su momento no pudieron leer y que además por el tiempo en que las publiqué, es muy difícil buscarlas en la página, a pesar de señalarles la fecha en que las subí a la red. Ante esta situación decidí re trabajar cada una de las notas y organizarlas a manera de un libro en línea que rescate todos esos comentarios y que los interesados lo puedan bajar de 2 la red, imprimir, coleccionar o lo que ustedes decidan. Esta colección que publicaré cuatrimestralmente se denomina: History of Beauty. Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Es por esto que con mucho gusto les presento el primer tomo de este esfuerzo, el cual comprende las notas publicadas desde la aparición de mi blog el 9 de septiembre de 2015 y comprende hasta la última aportación subida en diciembre del mismo año. Esta publicación incluye las 185 fotografía empleadas en las diversas notas que escribí durante el último cuatrimestre del año 2015 y que en algunos casos, son fotografías que solicitaron subiera y yo aproveché para hacer un breve artículo. Espero que con la lectura de este tomo, los jóvenes aficionados a los concursos de belleza puedan encontrar los orígenes de nuestra pasión y los que ya son grandes conocedores del tema, logren revivir la emoción que nos siguen causando los certámenes que, al menos a mí, se han convertido en parte de mi vida y han convivido conmigo por más de 50 años.
