Editorial Board: Ram Puniyani and Irfan Engineer (Mumbai); Pervez Hoodbhoy (Islamabad); Dolores Chew (Montreal); Vamsi Vakulabharanam (Amherst). Circulation/website: Feroz Mehdi (On behalf of Alternatives, Montreal). [1] EDITORIAL: MOBOCRACY IN THE WORLD’S “OLDEST” AND “LARGEST” DEMOCRACIES Vinod Mubayi The invasion of the seat of government, the US Capitol, in the world’s oldest democracy on January 6, 2021 by violent, right-wing, white supremacist mobs owing allegiance to President Donald Trump, has focused attention on the role exercised by a democratically elected Leader who incites his followers to commit destructive acts. The proximate reason for the invasion was to stop the certification by Congress of the victory of Joe Biden over Trump in the November 2020 election. Attacks by white supremacist mobs on what they disdain such as black Americans or immigrants has a long history in a country founded as a colonial-settler state that carried out a genocide of the native American population and practiced de jure slavery until the civil war in the 1860s. Even after the so- called emancipation of the slaves it took barely a decade before de facto slavery known as Jim Crow that lasted almost another century was re-established in the American south following the period known as Reconstruction. While the civil rights movements of the 1960s removed some of the formal legal institutional racist structures, ingrained racist practices and attitudes have persisted among elements of the white majority, particularly the police.

Disaster can be defined as in occurrence, due to natural causes or otherwise, which results in large- scale deaths or imminent possibility of deaths and extensive material damage. In magnitude and intensity it ranks higher than an accident and requires special measures of mitigation, which is beyond the capabilities of the existing fire, rescue and relief services. Risk is defined as a measure of the expected losses due to a hazard event of a particular magnitude occurring in a given area over a specific time period. The level of risk depends upon: The nature of the hazard. The vulnerability of the elements, which it affects. And the economic value of those elements.

  • The Case of the Farmers' Protests in India
    Indian Public Policy Review 2021, 2(3): 41-64 Radically Networked Societies: The case of the farmers’ protests in India Prateek Waghre* Abstract This paper analyses India’s ongoing farmer protests movement through the lens of the Radically Networked Societies (RNS) framework. Building on prior RNS-based case studies, the paper contends that this movement is marked by a combination of allied and opposing RNS groups. These RNS groups are characterised by the existence of overlapping identities operating across a mix of existing and instantaneous networks coalescing around their respective common causes of opposing the three farm laws enacted by the Union government and opposing this opposition itself. The ensuing interactions result in amplifying and sustaining adjacent and opposite RNS groups. The paper concludes that the hitherto weak bonds underlying spontaneous networked movements will be supported by hardening ties based on political identities that also transcend international boundaries. This can result in sharper responses by states which may be tempered by international pressure or scrutiny in the short term. Alternatively, an increasing number of protest movements for extended periods could lead to a flattening of responses and waning levels of attention. Keywords: Networked Movements, Protests, Counter-Mobilisation Publication Date: 07 May 2021 * Prateek Waghre is a Research Analyst at the Takshashila Institution INDIAN PUBLIC POLICY REVIEW MAY 2021 I. Introduction The period since 2009 is referred to as ‘the age of global mass protests’ with protest movements occurring at a ‘frequency, scope and size’ that are historically unprecedented (Brannen, Haig, and Schmidt 2020). Between 2009 and 2019, the number of recorded anti-government protests increased at an annual average of 11.5% (ibid).
