Viswanathan Secretary-General Lok Sabha Published under Rule 382 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha (Fourteenth Edition). Lok Sabha Secretariat New Delhi Foreword In the over six decades that our Parliament has served its exalted purpose, it has witnessed India change from a feudally administered colony to a liberal democracy that is today the world's largest and also the most diverse. For not only has it been the country's supreme legislative body it has also ensured that the individual rights of each and every citizen of India remain inviolable. Like the Parliament building itself, power as configured by our Constitution radiates out from this supreme body of people's representatives. The Parliament represents the highest aspirations of the people, their desire to seek for themselves a better life. dignity, social equity and a sense of pride in belonging to a nation, a civilization that has always valued deliberation and contemplation over war and aggression. Democracy. as we understand it, derives its moral strength from the principle of Ahimsa or non-violence. In it is implicit the right of every Indian, rich or poor, mighty or humble, male or female to be heard. The Parliament, as we know, is the highest law making body. It also exercises complete budgetary control as it approves and monitors expenditure.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business by an authorized administrator of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. “You Say Nano, We Say No-No:” Getting a “Yes” Instead for Special Economic Zones in India Sumeet Jain* Abstract: Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have the potential to be valuable in- struments of economic growth and development in India. Yet, as a result of the resistance facing them, SEZs in India have not delivered economic benefits to their fullest potential. For this reason, reducing the resistance facing SEZs is critical to their success. This article seeks to reduce this resistance by devising a consensus-building plan based on a regulatory negotiation approach. The ar- ticle first shows that the past and present resistance facing India’s economic zones is a product of the lack of public input in the design of their policy. It then presents a platform for understanding the proponents’ and opponents’ argu- ments by distilling the current legislation and regulation governing India’s SEZ policy into a cohesive operational framework.

Distribution Distribution unlimited. Specific authority contracting number: 14-106755-000-INP. For questions or comments about this study, contact Nilanthi Samaranayake at [email protected] Cover Photography: Brahmaputra River, India: people crossing the Brahmaputra River at six in the morning.

Approved by: May 2016 Ken E Gause, Director International Affairs Group Center for Strategic Studies Copyright © 2016 CNA Abstract The Brahmaputra River originates in China and runs through India and Bangladesh. China and India have fought a war over contested territory through which the river flows, and Bangladesh faces human security pressures in this basin that will be magnified by upstream river practices. Controversial dam-building activities and water diversion plans could threaten regional stability; yet, no bilateral or multilateral water management accord exists in the Brahmaputra basin. This project, sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, provides greater understanding of the equities and drivers fueling water insecurity in the Brahmaputra River basin. After conducting research in Dhaka, New Delhi, and Beijing, CNA offers recommendations for key stakeholders to consider at the subnational, bilateral, and multilateral levels to increase cooperation in the basin. These findings lay the foundation for policymakers in China, India, and Bangladesh to discuss steps that help manage and resolve Brahmaputra resource competition, thereby strengthening regional security.

  • Indian-Cabinet-On-Sri-Lankan-Civil-War-Dossier.Pdf
    Rajiv Gandhi’s Cabinet 1987 Minister of Home Affairs: Buta Singh Buta Singh has been associated with the Indian National Congress since the time Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister was in power. He has been a member of Parliament on a number of occasions and is effectively the number 2 in the Government today. Being Home Minister of India, his main priority will be to ensure the internal security of India. Irrespective of what the cabinet decides on Sri Lanka, he has to stive to maintain law and order across India and ensure that the cabinet’s decision doesn’t lead to any uprising. His biggest challenge will be dealing with the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Since the native population of the state and the Sri Lankan separatists share the same background and culture. A lot of people in the state sympathise with the Sri Lankan separatists and therefore any action against them can throw this state up into flames. Maintaining law and order here will be of utmost importance to show the world that India stands united. Minister of External Affairs: P. Shiv Shankar Hailing from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, Shiv Shankar rose through the ranks of the Congress to become External Affairs minister of India. He will have a key role to play in whatever decision the Indian Cabinet takes regarding the Sri Lankan Civil War. On one hand he will have to prioritize national interests and support whatever is better for the nation’s security. However, he will also have to keep in mind India’s position in the global community and ensure that the Government doesn’t jeopardize relations with any key partners.

  • (CHIRAYINKIL): Sir, I Beg to M
    Title: Combined discussion on Disapproval of Indian Council of World Affairs Ordinance, 2000 and Indian Council of World Affairs Bill, 2000. (Resolution Negatived and Bill passed.) MR. CHAIRMAN: The House shall now take up Item Nos 26 and 27 together. SHRI VARKALA RADHAKRISHNAN (CHIRAYINKIL): Sir, I beg to move:"That this House disapproves of the Indian Council of World Affairs Ordinance, 2000 (No.3 of 2000) promulgated by the President on 1st September, 2000"Sir, this Ordinance is quite unwarranted and unjustified. Everybody knows that there would be Winter Session of Parliament. Now, the Ordinance was issued in September. I want to ask what was the necessity of issuing an Ordinance. The Indian Council of World Affairs was in chaos and was having irregularities from 1981 onwards. It was established in 1943 and was worsening since then. The reports allege that irregularities were noticed in 1981. Afterwards, 19 years have passed but no attempt has been made to bring in a legislation to make things correct. There was ample time for the Executive to bring in legislation. What was the necessity of bringing an Ordinance? What was the urgency? They could have brought a normal Bill before the House and this could have been discussed properly. Now, at the fag end of the day, we are discussing a very important Bill. The House is deprived of an opportunity of having proper discussion. Members are not given a judicious mind with regard to the Bill which is before the House.Sir, more so, the Members on the Ruling side are also committed.
