  • Dalit Factor in Bihar's Politics
    7. The (Maha) Dalit Factor in Bihar’s Politics Shreyas Sardesai* Until the 2010 election for the Bihar Assembly, elections in the state were largely analysed in terms of a six caste categories – Upper castes, Yadavs, other OBCs, Pasis, other Dalits and Muslims. Since 2007 however, Bihar politics has witnessed new developments and the caste dimension of elections cannot be fully understood without taking into account two additional caste categories, namely EBCs or Extremely Backward Classes, and Mahadalits. This chapter seeks to analyse the emergence of latter and its implications. In August 2007, the Nitish Kumar led JDU-BJP government set up the Bihar State Mahadalit Commission to “identify the castes within Scheduled Castes who lagged behind in the development process” and to “study [their] educational and social status and suggest measures for [their] upliftment”. In April 2008, 18 Dalit castes were brought under the Mahadalit category to begin with. These are Bantar, Bauri, Bhogta, Bhuiya, Chaupal, Dabgar, Dom/Dhangad, Ghasi, Halalkhor, Hari/Mehtar/Bhangi, Kanjar, Kurariar, Lalbegi, Musahar, Nat, Pan/Swasi, Rajwar and Turi. Three months later Dhobi and Pasi castes were also added to the Mahadalit category based on the Commission’s recommendation and then Chamars were also included in the Mahadalit category by the state government in November 2009 on the grounds that they too were lagging in literacy and economic status and were victims of untouchability at the hands of other Mahadalit castes1. The only sub-caste that was left out was Paswan or Dusadh *Author is Research Associate at Lokniti, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies.

  • After Prohibition of Liquor, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Govt Mulls Ban on Khaini PTI
    FSSAI IN NEWS Dated 10.06.2018 (Sunday) After prohibition of liquor, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar govt mulls ban on khaini PTI Two years after prohibiting sale and consumption of alcohol, the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar is contemplating a ban on 'khaini' (unprocessed tobacco), an official said. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar | Patna: Two years after prohibiting sale and consumption of alcohol, the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar is contemplating a ban on 'khaini' (unprocessed tobacco), an official said. The state has written to the Union Health Ministry for intervention to facilitate introducing a ban on khaini, consumption of which is responsible for a number of serious ailments, the state's principal secretary (health) Sanjay Kumar told PTI. "Pan masala and gutkha are already banned in the state as these are enlisted among food products by the FSSAI. We need to crack down on khaini as every fifth person in FSSAI IN NEWS the state is said to be addicted to it", Kumar said. "We have urged the Union health ministry to direct the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to include khaini in the list of food products. As per FSSAI guidelines, all food products containing tobacco and nicotine can be banned", he said. Although the overall consumption of tobacco in Bihar has gone down in the past one decade, there has been little decrease in the proportion of those addicted to khaini. This is a cause of concern and needs intervention, he said. According to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey, conducted by the World Health Organisation, in 2016-17 those consuming khaini stood at around 20 per cent of the total population.

  • 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.

  • Bihar's Political Reform and Its Impact on the Rest of India
    :: Issue Analysis Bihar’s political reform and its impact on the rest of India Santosh Kumar Business Analyst of POSCO Research Institutes, Delhi office ihar, the poorest state of India, has finally turned around both economically and politically and is seen as the biggest achievement of India. On the one hand, it achieved an B unprecedented growth rate of 11.35% (only second to Gujarat at 11.05%) in past five years and, on the other, it also broke out of the shackles of caste-ridden politics and overwhelmingly voted for developmental politics in the Assembly election in November 2010 under the leadership of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Chief Minister (CM), Nitish Kumar. Bihar’s turnaround has now made Bihar a role model of vikas ki rajneeti (development-led politics) and sushasan (good governance) for the rest of India.

At first there were mostly governance challenges, and law and order and restoring peace were very important. Along with that, government had to develop infrastructure and the social sector. But the very first need was to instill people’s confidence in government. And that happens with law and order and peace. The environment (conditions) in Bihar was not good. People were scared. In the evenings, all the shops closed. Girls continued to face more problems going out. There was fear. It’s not like incidents were occurring at all times, but there was an environment of fear.
