  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

    International Journal of Scientific Research in Science and Technology © 2018 IJSRST | Volume 4 | Issue 11 | Print ISSN: 2395-6011 | Online ISSN: 2395-602X Rethinking of Special Category Status to Poorer States in India Fauzia Tarannum Research Scholar, Department of Pshychology, Magadh University, Bodhgaya, Bihar, India ABSTRACT There are twenty nine states and seven union territories in India. Some States have been provided some benefits by the union government as they fall under the Special Category States. In 1969, the Fifth Finance Commision acting in line to the Gadgil formula, had accorded Special Status to three states namely Assam, Nagaland and Jammu & Kashmir on the basis of hilly terrains, having international boundaries, backwardness and social probles prevailing in these states. As per formula such states get preferential treatment in federal assistance and tax breaks. These states also get excise duty concessions and thus, help to attract large number of industrial units to establish manufacturing factories within their territories. Now many other states have been categorised nder this term like Himachal Pradesh (1970-71) , Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura (1971-72) Sikkim (1975- 76), Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram (1986-87) and Uttarakhand (2000-01) INTRODUCTION The government of Bihar has been demanding to rethink on the issue and accord Special Status to Bihar and in the course of time other states followed the line. Resultantly, union government constituted a committee headed by Mr. Raghuram Rajan, now RBI Governer, to suggest ways to identify indicators of the relative backwardness of the states for equitable allocation of Central funds. The committee has proposed an index of backwardness composed of 10 equally weighted indicators for monthly per capita consumption expenditure, education, health, household amenities, poverty rate, female literacy, percentage of the scheduled caste / scheduled tribe population, urbanisation rate, financial inclusion and physical connectivity.

  • What India's By-Elections Tell Us
    ISAS Brief No. 339 – 29 August 2014 Institute of South Asian Studies National University of Singapore 29 Heng Mui Keng Terrace #08-06 (Block B) Singapore 119620 Tel: (65) 6516 4239 Fax: (65) 6776 7505 www.isas.nus.edu.sg http://southasiandiaspora.org What India’s By-Elections tell Us Ronojoy Sen 1 After a national election that was held in nine phases over several weeks there is something of a poll fatigue in India. But the electoral cycle never really ceases in India and there is hardly a month that goes by without an election of some sort. The latest round of elections held on 21 August was not part of the normal electoral cycle, but one necessitated by either the death of an incumbent or the seat having been vacated for some other reason. What made the by-elections significant was that 18 seats spread across the states of Bihar, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka went to polls. The results, announced on 25 August, were disappointing for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which will soon complete 100 days in government at the Centre. The BJP and its allies won eight seats while the Congress and regional parties won 10. Re-alignment in Bihar Of the 18 seats where elections were held, the eastern state of Bihar had the lion’s share with 10 seats. Bihar was also important for another reason. A new political formation, with rival leaders 1 Dr Ronojoy Sen is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS), an autonomous research institute at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and at the Asia Research Institute (ARI) at NUS.
