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.

By No. of Investments According to India’s Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, the country needs an investment of USD 475 billion (about Rs. 19,000 billion) in infrastructure over the next five years to support the targeted 9% growth. Where is this capital going to come from? Given the need to prune the fiscal deficit, the government is restricted in the resources it can allocate. Last year, the government revised upwards its investment target in infrastructure by a mere 2% - from Rs. 10,890 billion to Rs. 11,100 billion - over the next five years. It doesn’t come as a surprise then that private investment in infrastructure projects is no longer a choice, but a necessity.

  • M Karunanidhi: the Dravidian Sun Sets
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 M Karunanidhi: The Dravidian Sun Sets A KALAIYARASAN KARTHICK RAM MANOHARAN A Kalaiyarasan ([email protected]) is at Madras Institute of Development Studies. Karthick Ram Manoharan ([email protected]) is at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta. The authors would like to thank S Anandhi, Ezhilarasan, Jeyaranjan, V M Subagunarajan and M Vijayabaskar for their inputs. Vol. 53, Issue No. 31, 04 Aug, 2018 When Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief and five-time Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Muthuvel Karunanidhi passed away on 7 August 2018, he had outlived most of his friends and all of his rivals. “Kalaignar,” as he was popularly known among the Tamil people, left behind an active political life of 80 years, six decades of which were spent as a legislator. Born on 3 June 1924 into a poor family from an extremely marginalised backward caste, M Karunanidhi was witness to key events of the last century that shaped the world as we know it today. He was also a key participant in events that radically shaped the nature of politics in Tamil Nadu. In an interview on 16 February 1965, a correspondent of Pravda, the official organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, asked Karunanidhi about the goals of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Karunanidhi responded that the goals were social justice in society, rationalism in culture, socialism in economy, and democracy in politics. The route to achieve these goals, he said, was via the parliament. Hailing from a community that was stigmatised by an oppressive feudal system in his hometown of Thiruvarur, he was drawn to the radical anti-caste discourse of Periyar.

    Quality in Journalism: Perceptions and Practice in an Indian context By: Sreedevi Purayannur A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Journalism Studies Submission Date March 2018 To Amma My guru and my friend 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is often said that undertaking a PhD is a solitary journey. I have been fortunate to enjoy enormous support and the encouragement of many well-wishers at all stages of this journey. Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Martin Conboy, whose continuous support, encouragement and enthusiasm for my work led me to the completion of this thesis. I am grateful for his guidance, knowledge and constructive feedback towards my training as a researcher over the years. I would also like to thank Professor John Steel for his feedback on my MPhil to PhD upgrade report and on the first complete draft of this thesis. On both occasions, his comments forced me to challenge the contours of my study, and this thesis is all the better for them. At the Department of Journalism Studies, I would like to thank Clare Burke and Jose Cree for their administrative support; Ximena Orchard for her help in many instances during our time together at Sheffield; and Professor Jackie Harrison for for opening the doors for this PhD in the first instance. I am very grateful to all the journalists who found the time in their busy schedules to share their experiences. Their contribution made this thesis meaningful.
