During the year 2014, there were around 4.89 lakhs road accidents which killed about 1.40 lakh people and injured more than 4.93 lakh persons in India. The analysis of road accident data 2014 reveals that about 56 accidents take place and 16 lives are lost every hour on an average in our country. In India, 53.8 per cent road accident victims are in the age group of 15 to 34 years. Further, drivers' fault (78.8 per cent) has been found as the single most important factor responsible for road accidents. Road accidents are human tragedy which involves high human sufferings. The loss of main bread earner and head of households due to death or disability can be catastrophic, leading to lower living standards and poverty in addition to the human cost of bereavement of the highest degree. Thus, road safety has become an issue of national as well as international concern. Road traffic accidents are amenable to remedial action. Significant reduction in accident rate is a big challenge for us. It is only possible by a wide variety of improvements in design of vehicles in tune with the Indian weather conditions, by strengthening infrastructure particularly rural connectivity, structural improvements in National Highways and State Highways and enforcement of safety regulations and standards. In this context, we have undertaken many initiatives and are implementing various road safety improvement programmes along with strong monitoring mechanism. The purpose of this publication is to present an in-depth analysis and an over-view of the accidents in India and bring into focus the challenges relating to the prevention of road accidents and their impact. The data and subsequent analysis on road accidents contained in this issue would help to create awareness and to understand the complex issues involved in the decision making process related to road safety. Nevertheless, this analysis will facilitate in formulating a multi-pronged strategy to prevent loss of human resources on account of road accidents, fatalities and injuries. I believe that this document would be useful for policy makers, scholars, civil society organizations and society at large.

  • Politics of Coalition in India
    Journal of Power, Politics & Governance March 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 01–11 ISSN: 2372-4919 (Print), 2372-4927 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). 2014. All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development Politics of Coalition in India Farooq Ahmad Malik1 and Bilal Ahmad Malik2 Abstract The paper wants to highlight the evolution of coalition governments in india. The evaluation of coalition politics and an analysis of how far coalition remains dynamic yet stable. How difficult it is to make policy decisions when coalition of ideologies forms the government. More often coalitions are formed to prevent a common enemy from the government and capturing the power. Equally interesting is the fact a coalition devoid of ideological mornings survives till the enemy is humbled. While making political adjustments, principles may have to be set aside and in this process ideology becomes the first victim. Once the euphoria victory is over, differences come to the surface and the structure collapses like a pack of cards. On the grounds of research, facts and history one has to acknowledge india lives in politics of coalition. Keywords: india, government, coalition, withdrawal, ideology, partner, alliance, politics, union Introduction Coalition is a phenomenon of a multi-party government where a number of minority parties join hands for the purpose of running the government which is otherwise not possible. A coalition is formed when many groups come into common terms with each other and define a common programme or agenda on which they work. A coalition government always remains in pulls and pressures particularly in a multinational country like india.

  • Introduction to Indian Politics
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Introduction to Indian Politics Borooah, Vani University of Ulster December 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/76597/ MPRA Paper No. 76597, posted 05 Feb 2017 07:28 UTC Chapter 1 Introduction to Indian Politics In his celebrated speech, delivered to India’s Constituent Assembly on the eve of the 15th August 1947, to herald India’s independence from British rule, Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, famously asked if the newly independent nation was “brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future”. If one conceives of India, as many Indians would, in terms of a trinity of attributes – democratic in government, secular in outlook, and united by geography and a sense of nationhood – then, in terms of the first of these, it would appear to have succeeded handsomely. Since, the Parliamentary General Election of 1951, which elected the first cohort of members to its lower house of Parliament (the Lok Sabha), India has proceeded to elect, in unbroken sequence, another 15 such cohorts so that the most recent Lok Sabha elections of 2014 gave to the country a government drawn from members to the 16th Lok Sabha. Given the fractured and fraught experiences with democracy of India’s immediate neighbours (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar) and of a substantial number of countries which gained independence from colonial rule, it is indeed remarkable that independent India has known no other form of governmental authority save through elections. Elections (which represent ‘formal democracy’), are a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for ‘substantive democracy’.

  • The Indian Media and Authoritarian Politics
    [Special Issue: The Future of Democracy in India] The Indian Media and Authoritarian Politics PHILIPOSE Pamela I. The Indian media and authoritarian politics The 16th general election of 2014 in India brought to power the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a Hindu majoritarian party, under the leadership of Narendra Modi. Hindutva, the core ideology of the BJP, was propounded by V. D. Savarkar, who in 1923 formulated the idea of the true Indian being “someone who looked upon this land of his forefathers as his holy land; someone who inherited the blood of the race of the SaptaSindhus; and one who expressed a common affinity to the classical language, Sanskrit...” (Sampath, 2019: 416–417). In other words, it propounds that those who are not Hindus cannot be wholly Indian. Today, Hindutva has come to permeate Indian politics through the innumerable networks associated with the ruling party, the BJP, and linked to its flagship organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Simultaneous with the growth of Hindutva has been the retreat of the values once considered fundamental to Indian democracy and which figure in the preamble to its constitution, including those of secularism and fraternity. The general election of 2019 saw the BJP return with a win even more emphatic than the one it achieved in the last general election of 2014, flagging the electoral supremacy of Narendra Modi and his brand of authoritarian populism. Across the world, political leaders from Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey to Brazil’s Jair Bolsanaro have used impressive election victories as pathways to authoritarian rule. They have demonstrated an ability to sway large numbers of supporters by speaking to their insecurities and stoking their deepest desires through a process of mediatized cult building.

  • ROLE of SOCIAL MEDIA and YOUNG VOTERS Role of Social
    NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY (NLU), DELHI IN COLLABORATION WITH INDIA INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR DEMOCRACY AND ELECTION MANAGEMENT (IIIDEM), DELHI PROPOSAL FOR ONE DAY SEMINAR ON ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUNG VOTERS National Law University(NLU), Dwarka, Delhi and India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management (IIIDEM), Dwarka, Delhi are jointly organising a one day Seminar on “Role of Social Media and Young Voters.” Date: 25th March, 2019, Monday Venue: India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management (IIIDEM), Dwarka Timing: 10:00 am onwards Role of Social Media and Young Voters In 2014, the 16th Lok Sabha elections witnessed the highest turnout amongst young voters. The youth of the country may have experienced a wave of euphoria after being sparked to action by Anna Hazare’s anti corruption movement of April 2011. Protests occurred throughout the country against the Delhi rape and fatal assault case of December 2012. Online as well as social networking sites Facebook and Whatsapp were used extensively. Tens of thousands signed online petitions while raising their concerns and to register their protests. The focus of political parties also got diverted from exploiting the traditional caste cleavage of the country to mobilize young voters who constitute a whopping 13.3 crore of the population. It was realized that these young voters who constitute a little over 15% of the total voters in the country hold the key to the making and unmaking of political parties’ electoral destinies in the ensuing 2019 Lok Sabha elections and they must not be ignored or taken lightly. The youth being better informed, educated and tech-savvy are the future opinion-makers and influencers who have the capacity to take a stand against the established political leanings of their family and friends.
