  • Narendra Modi (Narendra Damodardas Modi)
    Narendra Modi (Narendra Damodardas Modi) India, Primer ministro (2014-) Duración del mandato: 26 de Mayo de 2014 - En funciones Nacimiento: Vadnagar, distrito de Mehsana, estado de Gujarat, 17 de Septiembre de 1950 Partido político: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Resumen Las elecciones generales celebradas en India entre abril y mayo de 2014 han supuesto el triunfo arrasador de una fuerza política derechista, el Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), pero sobre todo de una persona revestida de un carisma nada común, Narendra Modi. El hasta ahora ministro principal del estado de Gujarat, un veterano militante del nacionalismo hindú que trenza en su discurso los guiños religiosos y el pragmatismo económico de signo liberal, ha devuelto a su formación al poder tras una década en la oposición al Gobierno del secularista Partido del Congreso (INC), hoy laminado en las urnas. El masivo corrimiento electoral, el mayor en 30 años, deja en manos del BJP una confortable mayoría absoluta en el Lok Sabha, mayoría que se acerca a los dos tercios con la suma de los socios de la Alianza Democrática Nacional (NDA). Durante la larga campaña electoral, librada con brillantez, Modi supo vender los logros de su gestión en Gujarat y fue indiferente a las viejas acusaciones de responsabilidad (ya descartada por los tribunales) en las masacres de cientos de gujaratíes musulmanes cuando las violencias intercomunales de 2002. Neutralizando las críticas por los aspectos más turbios de su reputación, que evocan a un hinduista sectario desdeñoso con las minorías y tendente al autoritarismo, Modi derrochó dinamismo, propuestas de avance nacional y una imagen de político inmune a la corrupción y administrador eficiente.

Shinde said: "BJP-RSS have always wanted an opportunity to change the Constitution." He said that time has come to fight against the injustice to dalits and the move snatch away their rights. He said that because of the nationalization of banks by Indira Gandhi, their doors were opened to the poor, tribals and dalits and lakhs of youngsters got jobs from this. He said that Dr Ambedkar chose from the best in the world and gave us the best Constitution of the world. He added that division into sects and groups had helped the wrong people come to power. Now it's time to unite to protect the rights of dalits and exploited people, and return the Congress to power. Bharatsinh Solanki, state Congress president said: "We have to go forward with the vision and principles given by Babasaheb Ambedkar. It is necessary that dalits, tribals and the OBC community gets a good education and grows in life." He added that: "Education has increased among dalits but unity has not increased.

Bhavsar1, Ankit J. Patel2 1Lecturer, civil department, Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar 2Assistant professor, civil department, Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar ABSTRACT The black cotton soil has a properties of is expansiveness, swelling and shrinkage. Due to these types of the properties behavior of clayey soil or black cotton soil has been changed drastically. Based on observation we can say that the changes are due to reaction with water. Also the large amount of black cotton soil is available all around the world which leads to a waste of land for construction uses. So we have tried to resolve this problem by stabilizing black cotton soil by waste material marble powder and brick dust. We have stabilized a black cotton soil by replacement of 40 % of soil to the both stabilizing agents marble powder and brick dust. The combination has been used of 60 % soil + 40% stabilizing agent. The analysis includes the comparison of clayey soil after stabilization with the available soil’s properties. The comparison includes total properties consideration by carried out compaction test, atterber’s limit test, linear shrinkage test, and swelling test on stabilized soil. From the above mentioned test It’s been observed great decrement in swelling and shrinkage of soil. Keywords:- black cotton soil, expansiveness, swelling, shrinkage, stabilization 1.

  • Adivasis, Hindutva and Post-Godhra Riots in Gujarat
    Adivasis, Hindutva and Post-Godhra Riots in Gujarat Though Gujarat has a history of communalism, adivasis were the last to be communalised. This paper attempts to explore the participation of adivasis in the riots that followed the Godhra carnage. It highlights the fact that the character of riots in adivasi areas was different from that in non-adivasi areas and attempts to reconstruct the developmental cycle of communalisation of adivasis from late 1980s onwards. It links this communalisation with the political economy of adivasis whose aspirations and problems are kept distorted and their attention diverted under the garb of religion and party politics.
