Nadu Legislative Assembly (Tenth Assembnly) Review 1991-96 TAMIL NADU LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY (TENTH ASSEMBNLY) REVIEW 1991-96 ------ PREFACE This review contains a complete and comprehensive, albeit in a condensed form, narration of work turned out by the Tenth Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. It also contains a lot of general information about the origin of the State Legislature, the Assembly Chamber, Members, etc. The previous Reviews in this series brought out in 1957, 1962, 1967, 1971, 1977, 1980, 1985, 1988 and 1991 proved to be valuable books of reference. The very object of this Review is mainly to give a complete and concise summary of business transacted by the Tenth Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from the 1st July 1991 to 1st March 1996. This Review also covers a brief account of work done by the various Legislature Committees, the activities of the Tamil Nadu Branch of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and a short Administrative Report of the Legislative Assembly Secretariat. References to the Rules of Procedure are also given at the beginning of each chapter, wherever necessary. A few photographs taken on important occasions such as Governor’s Address, Presentation of Budget and Conference of Presiding Officers of Legislative Bodies in India held in Madras during 1993 have also been included. This publication, it is hoped, will be found useful as a book of reference to the Secretariat and of interest to all those desirous of knowing the work turned out by the Tenth Legislative Assembly. Any suggestion to make this publication more useful will be thankfully received and incorporated in the next Review. Secretariat, C. S. JANAKIRAMAN, Madras-600 009. Secretary.

BRIEF HISTORY BEFORE INDEPENDENCE The present Tamil Nadu is the residuary part of the then erstwhile Madras Presidency. The said Presidency comprised of the present Tamil Nadu, some parts of the present States of Orissa, Kerala, Karnataka and present Andhra Pradesh excluding the former native State of Nizam, Besides Madras Presidency, there were two other Presidencies, viz., Presidency of Bombay and Presidency of Calcutta. Each of the Presidencies was in charge of a Governor. To start with, the Presidencies were Independent of each other, but the Regulating Act, 1773 termed the Governor of Bengal as Governor- General of Bengal and made him the supreme head of all the Presidencies. At the same time, the legislative power in the Presidencies was also recognised. This state of thing, was however, discontinued By the Charter Act of 1833 which concentrated all the legislative power in the Governor-General in-Council and deprived the local Governments (Presidencies) of their power of the independent legislation. The Indian Councils Act of 1861 restored the legislative power taken away by the Charter Act of 1833. The Legislature of the Madras Presidency was given the power to make laws for the "peace and good Government". The Provincial Legislative Council was constituted by the addition to the Governor's Executive Council of 4 to 8 ad hoc members of whom at least half were to be non-officials nominated by the Governor for a period of two years and the Advocate-General. The Provincial Legislative Council could not interfere with the laws passed by the Central Legislature. All Bills passed by Provincial Councils required the assent of the Governor- General and even after that, they could be disallowed by the Queen to whom they had to be referred. The Indian Councils Act of 1909 enlarged the Legislative Council of the Province from 20 to 50. The Legislative Council for the first time, was elected by an indirect election resulting in non-official majority in the House for the first time. The first conscious advance in the direction of Responsible Government was the reform of 1919 known as Montague/Chemsford Reforms. The Madras Legislative Council was set up in 1921 under the Government of India Act, 1919. The term of the Council was for a period of three years. It consisted of 132 Members of which 34 were nominated by the Governor and the rest were elected. It met for 2 the first time on the 9th January 1921 at Fort St. George, Madras. The Council was inaugurated by the Duke of Cannaught, a paternal uncle of the King of England, on the 12th January 1921 on the request made by the Governor Lord Wellington. The Governor addressed the Council on the 14th February 1921. The Second and Third Councils, under this Act were constituted after the general elections held in 1923 and 1926 respectively. The fourth Legislative Council met for the first time on the 6th November 1930 after the general elections held during the year and its life was extended from time to time and it lasted till the provincial autonomy under the Government of India Act, 1935 came into operation. The Government of India Act, 1935 marked the next stride in the evolution of Legislatures. The Act provided for an All India Federation and the constituent units of the Federation were to be the Governor's Province and Indian States.

  • Anti-Malarial Policy in the Madras Presidency: an Overview of the Early Decades of the Twentieth Century
    Medical History, 1992, 36: 290-305. ANTI-MALARIAL POLICY IN THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY: AN OVERVIEW OF THE EARLY DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by V. R. MURALEEDHARAN and D. VEERARAGHAVAN * The history of health care in colonial India was for long a neglected field of study. However, in recent years interest in the history of medicine and its role during the period of British rule has been growing, as is evident from the increasing number of studies published.' While some attempts have been made to draw the broad outlines of the development ofhealth policy at both an all-India level2 and at regional levels,3 the policies on specific diseases have received far less attention.4 This is particularly true of malaria. There is as yet no detailed history ofanti-malarial measures in colonial India.5 Our desire to fill this gap in the existing literature on the history of health care is the basic motive for this paper, which attempts to trace the various anti-malarial steps taken by the government of Madras during the early decades of the twentieth century. We begin with a brief background to the nature of health care policy in the Madras Presidency and a summary ofthe debate on the nature ofanti-malarial measures taken in the years following the discovery of the anopheles mosquito. We then focus our * Both Dr V. R. Muraleedharan and Dr D.

  • Introduction
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction The Invention of an Ethnic Nationalism he Hindu nationalist movement started to monopolize the front pages of Indian newspapers in the 1990s when the political T party that represented it in the political arena, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP—which translates roughly as Indian People’s Party), rose to power. From 2 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament, the BJP increased its tally to 88 in 1989, 120 in 1991, 161 in 1996—at which time it became the largest party in that assembly—and to 178 in 1998. At that point it was in a position to form a coalition government, an achievement it repeated after the 1999 mid-term elections. For the first time in Indian history, Hindu nationalism had managed to take over power. The BJP and its allies remained in office for five full years, until 2004. The general public discovered Hindu nationalism in operation over these years. But it had of course already been active in Indian politics and society for decades; in fact, this ism is one of the oldest ideological streams in India. It took concrete shape in the 1920s and even harks back to more nascent shapes in the nineteenth century. As a movement, too, Hindu nationalism is heir to a long tradition. Its main incarnation today, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS—or the National Volunteer Corps), was founded in 1925, soon after the first Indian communist party, and before the first Indian socialist party.

  • Rahul Sagar, Hindu Nationalists and the Cold
    Chapter Ten Hindu Nationalists and the Cold War Rahul Sagar It is generally accepted that during the Cold War divergences between “hope and reality” rendered India and America “estranged democracies.”1 Te pre- cise nature of the Indo- American relationship during these decades remains a subject of fruitful study. For instance, Rudra Chaudhuri has argued that the Cold War’s many crises actually prompted India and the United States to “forge” a more nuanced relationship than scholars have realized.2 Tis chapter does not join this discussion. It examines a diferent side of the story. Rather than study the workings of the Congress Party–afliated political and bureaucratic elite in power during the Cold War, it focuses on the principal Opposition—the ideas and policies of the Hindu Mahasabha, the Jan Sangh, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (bJP), which have championed the cause of Hindu nationalism. Te Cold War–era policies of these parties have not been studied carefully thus far. A common assumption is that these parties had little to say about international afairs or that, to the extent that they had something to say, their outlook was resolutely militant. Tis chapter corrects this misperception. It shows that these parties’ policies alternated between being attracted to and being repulsed by the West. Distaste for communism and commitment to democracy drove them to seek friendship with the West, while resentment at U.S. eforts to contain India as well as fears about ma- terialism and Westernization prompted them to demand that the West be kept at a safe distance. 229 false sTarTs Surprisingly little has been written about the diversity of Indian views on international relations in the Cold War era.
