  • How Family Planning Changed Under Indira Gandhi's Emergency
    Questions of Ethics: How Family Planning Changed Under Indira Gandhi’s Emergency Hannah Johnson The Indian Emergency years of 1975-1977 were a period in which Indira Gandhi ruled with an iron fist. Family planning laws were something that was not new to India during this complicated period, however. The history of population issues in India is longer than the country’s independence, so why is this particular era remembered specifically for its family planning initiatives? The ways in which the policies that were created during this period were more aggressive, unethical, and debatable will be examined in this paper. The first section will look at a brief history of family planning in India in order to be able to compare it to that of the Emergency. The next section will examine the methods used to get Indian people to participate in the family planning drives and efforts – specifically the unethical methods used on lower caste Indians. The following section will observe the influence that Indira Gandhi’s son Sanjay Gandhi had on the movement and arguably crafted it into what we know it as today. The final section will look at the idea that family planning efforts completely took over everyday life for Indians, and the idea that one could not escape sterilization. As previously stated, family planning initiatives were by no means new to India during the Emergency under Indira Gandhi; we can however argue that the drives that occurred during this period were the most aggressive through unethical practices and controversial means, created by the central government.

Emerging from the Emergency: women in Indira Gandhi’s India, 1975-1977 Gemma Scott Doctor of Philosophy in History March 2018 Keele University Abstract India’s State of Emergency (1975-1977) is a critical period in the independent nation’s history. The government’s suspension of democratic norms and its institution of many, now infamous repressive measures have been the subject of much commentary. However, scholars have not examined Emergency politics from a gendered perspective. Women’s participation in support for and resistance to the regime and their experiences of its programmes are notably absent from historiography. This thesis addresses this gap and argues that a gendered perspective enhances our understanding of this critical period in India’s political history. It assesses the importance of gendered narratives and women to the regime’s dominant political discourses. I also analyse women’s experiences of Emergency measures, particularly the regime’s coercive sterilisation programme and use of preventive detention to repress dissent. I explore how gendered power relations and women’s status affected the implementation of these measures and people’s attempts to negotiate and resist them.

  • Post-Emergency: Restoration and Resurgence (1977-1980) , Course- 203(II- SEM ,Category I)
    Post-Emergency: Restoration and Resurgence (1977-1980) , Course- 203(II- SEM ,Category I) 1 INTRODUCTION The 1977 was the historic year in the life of the Indian democracy: an attempt to legitimize authoritarian tendencies and personalization of state power through democratic elections was out rightly rejected by the voters; Indian National Congress’s monopoly to rule at the centre was ended; a non-Congress political formation for the first time came to power as Union government; fundamental rights and civil liberties of citizens and freedom of the print media suspended during the emergency were restored; endangered independence of higher judiciary was protected; and finally, democracy was saved and brought back to the proper political track. Additional to that, a demand for autonomy to the broadcast and telecast media got a boost. An attempt has been made to critically examine the role that the mass media played in the immediate post-Emergency democratic process of India, and also to analyze the contributions of the short lived Janata Government’s corrective as well as preventive constitutional and political measures in restoring, securing, and consolidating the democratic institutions and processes. A surprising as well as pleasant development were the pro-active role that the print media played in digging out the truth and in exposing the government machinery, party in power, and individuals with extra-constitutional authority who were responsible for either of abusing or of misusing of state power in the name of security of the state, preservation of social order and peace, and promotion of economic prosperity among the rural and urban poor and weaker sections of society.

  • Understanding the Puzzle of Healthcare Use: Evidence from India
    Understanding the Puzzle of Primary Health-care Use: Evidence from India Pramod Kumar Sur Asian Growth Research Institute (AGI) and Osaka University [email protected] Abstract In India, households’ use of primary health-care services presents a puzzle. Even though most private health-care providers have no formal medical qualifications, a significant fraction of households use fee-charging private health-care services, which are not covered by insurance. Although the absence of public health-care providers could partially explain the high use of the private sector, this cannot be the only explanation. The private share of health-care use is even higher in markets where qualified doctors offer free care through public clinics; despite this free service, the majority of health-care visits are made to providers with no formal medical qualifications. This paper examines the reasons for the existence of this puzzle in India. Combining contemporary household-level data with archival records, I examine the aggressive family planning program implemented during the emergency rule in the 1970s and explore whether the coercion, disinformation, and carelessness involved in implementing the program could partly explain the puzzle. Exploiting the timing of the emergency rule, state-level variation in the number of sterilizations, and an instrumental variable approach, I show that the states heavily affected by the sterilization policy have a lower level of public health-care usage today. I demonstrate the mechanism for this practice by showing that the states heavily affected by forced sterilizations have a lower level of confidence in government hospitals and doctors and a higher level of confidence in private hospitals and doctors in providing good treatment.

  • Notes on the 19N Parliamentary Elections in India
    Notes on the 19n Parliamentary Elections in India AJIT SINGH RYE End of an Era "The collective judgment of the people must be respected. My colleagues and I accept their verdict unreservedly and in a spirit of humility." With this statement, Indira Gandhi brought to a close a long era of Congress Party hegemony in Indian politics. Mrs. Gandhi and her controversial son Sanjay both suffered humiliating defeats at the polls. Popular resentment against the abuse of power during the Emergency was such that, in the home state of the Nehrus- Uttar Pradesh, the Congress Party did not even win a single seat. All 85 seats were won by the janata coalition. Similarly, in Bihar State, all 54 seats were won by Janata. Out of 542 seats in the Lower house, Congress won only 153; Janata and Congress for Democracy won 299. In fact all over north­ ern India-from Punjab to Assam-the Congress Party was virtually wiped out by the united opposition. In addition, more than two­ thirds of the Central Ministers in the Cabinet who contested the elec­ tions, including Mrs. Gandhi, were defeated. Congress was for the first time since 1946 forced into opposition in the Central Parliament. Many explanations have been advanced for the Congress rout at the polls. The most widely-held view is that Indira Gandhi and the Congress Party were defeated primarily because of their brazen misuse and abuse of power during the period of Emergency rule.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 2.1 Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana Executive Summary Government of India (GoI) launched 100 per cent centrally sponsored ‘Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana’ (PMGSY) in December 2000 for providing all-weather road connectivity to all eligible unconnected habitations in rural areas with population of 500 and above (population of 250 persons and above in Hill States, Desert areas and selected Tribal and Backward districts). Besides, upgradation of existing rural roads was also to be carried out under PMGSY. A total expenditure of ` 3,557.25 crore was incurred during 2010-15 on construction, upgradation and maintenance of rural roads under PMGSY. Performance audit of PMGSY was conducted covering the period 2010-15 which revealed shortcomings in funds management, planning, programme implementation, quality assurance and monitoring, as discussed below: Financial management ● The State Government did not ensure speedy execution of works due to which 40 to 74 per cent of GoI funds remained unspent at the end of each financial year during 2010-13.

With a long political record to his credit, he became the Prime Minister of India in 1990. As Prime Minister and a towering leader of the country, he left his mark as a statesman in various spheres of the country, though he remained in the same office for a short period.
