(20) [2] Political Science Political Science Test Series 2020 www.iasscore.in POLITICAL SCIENCE Answer Hints: Test No.4 SECTION - A 1. (a) Lobbing in India should be legalized. • Approach Required: Provide arguments both for and against the idea of Lobbying. Content should be centered around the relevance of Lobbying as per conditions specific to India. • Mistakes to be avoided: No need to elaborate too much on what Lobbying is. Focus more on adding more and more arguments. Lobbyists provide governments with valuable policy-related information and expertise but if the activity is not transparent, public interest may be put at risk in favour of specific interests. India currently does not have a law to regulate lobbying. But recent corruption scandals involving lobbying by big businesses have increased public pressure for a law to regulate the activity. The factors which advocate legalizing lobbying in India are as follows: • It will provide a clear transparent ground for the same efforts which are underway in politics. The public will be clearly aware of the intensity and scale of efforts from various non-political bodies in public decision making and it will help reducing corruption and also will put a check to crony capitalism and the unholy nexus between corporates, bureaucracy and politicians. • This will provide ample opportunity to all groups to take an active part in decision making compared to the present scenario where this advantage only goes to those sections which are generally considered close to the political class. But at the same time, there are several reasons which argue against the case for legalizing lobbying in India: • Compared to USA, there are multiple groups in existence in India with communal and sectarian interests and objectives. Once lobbying is legalized, these groups will get an open field to influence the law makers and this will result in deformation of the political scenario where money power will override the sense of public morality. • In country where caste and religion play a massive role in determining the course of national politics, legalized lobbying will result in an open struggle between various caste and communal groups and this might result in law and order problems ranging from excessive use of money power to increased opportunism among legislators since they will have the freedom to choose that interest group which gives them maximum benefits. • All the interest groups do not enjoy the same kind of strength in terms of financial power and public relations. For e.g. Corporate organizations and big business houses can easily undermine the opinion of worker unions. The recent example of Radia tape controversy shows that corporates in India have already developed mechanism to influence even the highest echelons of central government. Organizations which represent the economically weaker strata of Indian society like Dalit’s, tribal, peasants, students and workers might not have the resources to protect themselves against the other powerful groups and would be adversely affected. • In India, the individual in a single instance can be a member of multiple interest groups and legalized lobbying might result in same individual experiencing antagonistic interests on the same issue. For example in case of seasonal migration of workers from rural areas to nearby towns is a common phenomenon in India. Now a law regulating the unorganized labour sector might result in identification of the same person either as an industrial worker or as a farmer but not both. Similar situations can occur in case of caste vs religion, religion vs region interest groups, thus doing more than good. Therefore the legalizing of lobbying in India is a decision which has to be taken with a lot of caution and only after taking into consideration the above factors. 1. (b) Indian parties and their attitude towards federalism • Approach Required: Try to elaborate how Major Indian political parties view the present federal set up and what changes they prefer to implement. • Mistakes to be avoided: Don’t just focus on present day parties. Try to include some historical and regional party examples as well. • Political parties grow out of various forces, personalities and historical developments and act as a major force in the federalizing process. Their attitude towards ‘federal polity’ helps us to understand their impact on it. • The Indian National Congress has always stood for a strong Centre. The Hindu Mahasabha also favors strong centre and would like the abrogation of article 370, which provides special status to Jammu and Kashmir. • The Swatantra Party wanted redistribution of power and responsibility so as to give States larger responsibilities. It also preferred the idea of referring inter-state disputes to a standing judicial body for final verdict. According to Bhartiya Jana Sangh a strong centre was an imperative need of the country’s political situation. It preferred a unitary constitution with federal characteristics. It wanted the full integration of the State of Jammu and Kashmir with the Indian Union. • The BJP wants that Articles 352,356 and 360 should be reviewed so as to avoid their misuse. The formation of an Inter-StateGSGSGS Council SCORESCORESCORE under Article 263 should be made mandatory. Article 370 being a transitory article should be deleted. According to BJP decentralization is imperative but nothing should be done that may weaken the unity of the country. • The communist Party of India stands for removal of all injustice and discrimination against states. It demands wider power and authority, particularly in financial and economic matters, be given to the states of the Indian Union. It also favours

Tweet These wise words from Afghan-American journalist Matiullah Abid Noor have helped me understand Afghanistan cricket much better than all the time I have spent interviewing cricketers and administrators. History and geography are inseparable in conflict zones, but what Abid Noor means to say is: inquiries into geography are not likely to lead you far; history will tell you much more. This is the story of Rashid Khan, the world's best T20 bowler, third best in one-day internationals, and in all likelihood the most recognisable Afghan in the world. But it is also a story of Afghanistan cricket, of Afghanistan the country, of the Pashtun region either side of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, of a timely rise in T20 leagues outside international cricket, of war and displacement, and of joy and hope. Cricket in Afghanistan was officially registered in 1995, and it gained momentum only in the mid-2000s. Their fast bowlers and their expressive cricket captured the imagination of the world, but despite rapid strides and elevation to Test cricket, they are still far from being a consistent threat to the best teams in the world.

  • Video Terrorism
    VIDEO TERRORISM 9/11 (2002) This heartfelt documentary was created by award-winning French filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, who simply set out to make a movie about a rookie NYC fireman and ended up filming the tragic event that changed our lives forever. The program includes additional footage and interviews with the heroic firefighters, rescue workers and the Naudet brothers, providing exclusive insight to their extraordinary firsthand experience of the day's events. 9/11: Press for Truth (2006) Based partly on Paul Thompson's book The Terror Timeline, this documentary chronicles the efforts of family members who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attack as they hound powerful officials to uncover the truth. The families succeed in generating an independent investigation, but more questions than answers emerge as the film spotlights secretive politicians, buried news items, government press conferences lacking substance and more. 444 Days to Freedom: What Really Happened in Iran (1997) Relive the dramatic events surrounding the infamous 444-day Iranian hostage crisis when, in 1979, a gang of radical Islamic students demanding the return of the Shah took prisoner Tehran's U.S. embassy staff. Despite the captors' eventual retreat, Jimmy Carter's presidency was brought to ruin and America's spirit was broken. Using rare archival footage, interviews and revealing documents, this film chronicles the hostages' harrowing ordeal. 60 Minutes - In Search of Bin Laden (September 25, 2005) Four years after 9/11, why hasn't Osama bin Laden been caught? Steve Kroft interviews Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf, who says bin Laden is still revered by many in his country.

  • Afghanistan Page 1 of 9
    Afghanistan Page 1 of 9 Afghanistan International Religious Freedom Report 2007 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution proclaims that "followers of other religions are free to exercise their faith and perform their religious rites within the limits of the provisions of law." However, it also states that Islam is the "religion of the state" and that "no law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam." The right to religious freedom was not respected in practice. Years of Taliban rule and weak democratic institutions have contributed to intolerance manifested in acts of harassment and violence against reform-minded Muslims and religious minorities. Still recovering from 25 years of violence and suffering from an ongoing insurgency, the country is slowly moving toward greater stability and democracy. Since 2004, the country has held democratic presidential, parliamentary, and provincial council elections. In April 2006 President Hamid Karzai nominated a second Cabinet, and by the end of 2006, a Supreme Court. Efforts to reform the judiciary were underway with assistance from the U.S. and the international community. The Government took limited steps to increase religious freedom. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs organized some seminars for religious leaders to promote religious tolerance and moderate views versus strict interpretations of Shari'a on women's issues. Despite reform efforts, there was an increase in the number of reports of problems involving religious freedom compared to previous years. Several high-profile cases involving religious freedom sparked demonstrations in major cities during the period covered by this report.
