Hon'ble Sir, It is a matter of great appreciation that the State of Himachal Pradesh has turned into a must visit destination for tourist visiting India while at the same time the State has off late evolved as the tourist hotspot under your stable leadership. We further appreciate the conspicuous quality of surface transport networks that is an uncompromising requirement to boost tourism development to such an extent. Furthermore, for Sikkim and the Sikkimese Buddhists, your State is one of its most sacred pilgrimage centre by virtue of being the land of the above mentioned Rewalsar Lake alias Tso Pema, a sacred lake associated with great Buddhist Master Mahaguru Padmasambhava, the second Buddha who was arrested and put to burning flame by the then King Indrabodhi of Jahor in the 8th century A.D. The Mahaguru converted the flame into the present day Rewalsar Lake alias Tso Pema and miracled himself seated on a lotus amid the lake and thus the name Tso Pema meaning "Lotus Lake". Under the circumstances, may I solicit your dynamic leadership's kind attention and intervention to ensure the following: 1. Renovating and maintaining the Lake befitting to its significance to the entire Buddhist world.

  • Politics of Sub-Regionalism and Pressure Groups in the State
    Reorganisation of State Politics of Sub-Regionalism and Pressure Groups Visit: www.civilstap.com For Any Query Mail us: [email protected] or call us at - (+91)-8146207241 0 POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM AND PRESSURE GROUPS IN THE STATE Regionalism is the expression of a common sense of identity and purpose by people within a specific geographical region, united by its unique language, culture, language, etc. In a positive sense, it encourages people to develop a sense of brotherhood and oneness which seeks to protect the interests of a particular region and promotes the welfare and development of the state and its people. In the negative sense, it implies excessive attachment to one’s region which is a great threat to the unity and integrity of the country. Sub-regionalism is a question of identity rather than distinct identity within the border identity of the region or the state based on social, political and economic distinctiveness. REGIONAL DIVIDE IN THE STATE POLITICS OF HIMACHAL PRADESH • The present-day Himachal Pradesh consists of two types of hill areas i.e the Punjab hills and the Shimla hills. • Shimla Hills: Before independence, the Shimla hills were ruled by native Princes. In these areas the people’s struggle was influenced by the nationalist movement in British India, but its object was never to overthrow or eliminate their Princely States. • Punjab Hills: The Punjab hill areas which joined Himachal Pradesh in 1966 were under direct British administrative control before independence. The people in these areas participated in the struggle for freedom with the specific objective of overthrowing the British rule.

  • New Leadership in Himachal Pradesh Ends Dominance of Two Clans
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 New Leadership in Himachal Pradesh Ends Dominance of Two Clans HARISH K THAKUR Harish K Thakur ([email protected]) is with the Department of Political Science, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla. Vol. 53, Issue No. 12, 24 Mar, 2018 The anti-establishment tradition was kept alive in the Himachal Pradesh state legislative assembly elections in November 2017 as the Bharatiya Janata Party returned to power, banking upon the issues of crime, corruption, and development. Keeping in view the ground reality of the state, the BJP’s Central Election Committee was forced to declare Prem Kumar Dhumal as its chief ministerial candidate and to lead the election campaign. The elections ushered in a new era in the state’s politics by marking an end to the rule of two dominant clans that had led politics in Himachal Pradesh for about four decades. It can be argued whether Western liberal democracy overwhelms all, but elections in the post- Cold War era have certainly become more marginalised. However, the fear expressed by Kofi Annan in 2015 that elections have failed to resolve deep-seated political and social divisions, and hence, have created doubts about the value of democracy through the ballot box, could be perceived in the Indian scenario too. This lends credence to the discourse that the actual intent of the voter sometimes gets lost in the political imperatives of parliamentary democracy. The communication between the electors and the contestants in the electoral process is subject to several factors. While sociological factors like religion, caste, race, language, and region play a significant role, dynamic factors like the issues of development, governance ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 and leadership also influence the process.
