Another thing is, in December Mr. Siva Reddy approached the High Court. The High Court gave clear-cut directions to the Government to provide him the secu- rity needed for protecting his life. Why didn't the State Government follow the directions given by the High Court? The next point is this.

  • 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.

My name is Reeves Yanez and I will be the coordinating crisis director. I am a Junior at William & Mary majoring in Kinesiology with a concentration in Public Health. I have done MUN since middle school and since I have become increasingly involved, competing as part of W&M’s travel team, staffing our conferences, and serving as the USG for specialized agencies and Director General for our middle school conference, WMIDMUN. Outside of MUN, I love to spend time outside, leading students on backpacking trips through the student rec center. I am beyond excited to see what you all bring to the table as we discuss such an exciting topic with so many possibilities. I would encourage you to use history as a guide as you change the future of the subcontinent, but don’t be constrained by it.. The historical outcome was not perfect and I look forward to the alternate solutions you put forward. I especially value creativity and novel solutions, and plans that account for contingencies will be the most successful. With that being said there may be some sensitive subjects covered in this committee and we have high expectations of delegate conduct. We will not tolerate any racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other form of discrimination. I look forward to your exciting plans as you strive to lead your nation to victory. This committee will also be a joint crisis committee, and so you will be actively working against another committee.
