The State, Democracy and Social Movements
The Dynamics of Conflict and Peace in Contemporary South Asia This book engages with the concept, true value, and function of democracy in South Asia against the background of real social conditions for the promotion of peaceful development in the region. In the book, the issue of peaceful social development is defined as the con- ditions under which the maintenance of social order and social development is achieved – not by violent compulsion but through the negotiation of intentions or interests among members of society. The book assesses the issue of peaceful social development and demonstrates that the maintenance of such conditions for long periods is a necessary requirement for the political, economic, and cultural development of a society and state. Chapters argue that, through the post-colo- nial historical trajectory of South Asia, it has become commonly understood that democracy is the better, if not the best, political system and value for that purpose. Additionally, the book claims that, while democratization and the deepening of democracy have been broadly discussed in the region, the peace that democracy is supposed to promote has been in serious danger, especially in the 21st century. A timely survey and re-evaluation of democracy and peaceful development in South Asia, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of South Asian Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies and Asian Politics and Security.

The 40Th Annual Conference on South Asia (2011)
2011 40th Annual Conference on South Asia Paper Abstracts Center for South Asia University of Wisconsin - Madison Aaftaab, Naheed Claiming Middle Class: Globalization, IT, and exclusionary practices in Hyderabad In this paper, I propose that middle class identity in the IT sector can be read as part of an “identity politics” that claim certain rights and benefits from governmental bodies both at the national and international levels. India’s economic growth since the 1991 liberalization has been attended by the growth of the middle classes through an increase in employment opportunities, such as those in the IT sector. The claims to middle class status are couched in narratives of professional affiliations that shape culturally significant components of middle class identities. The narratives rely on the ability of IT professionals to reconcile the political identities of nationalism while simultaneously belonging to a global work force. IT workers and the industry at large are symbols of India’s entry into the global scene, which, in turn, further reinforces the patriotic and nationalist rhetoric of “Indianness.” This global/national identity, however, exists through exclusionary practices that are evident in the IT sector despite the management’s assertions that the industry’s success is dependent on “merit based” employment practices. Using ethnographic data, I will examine middle class cultural and political claims as well as exclusionary practices in professional settings of the IT industry in order to explore the construction of new forms of identity politics in India. 40th Annual Conference on South Asia, 2011 1 Acharya, Anirban Right To (Sell In) The City: Neoliberalism and the Hawkers of Calcutta This paper explores the struggles of urban street vendors in India especially during the post liberalization era. -

Maoism in Bihar- a Discourse on the Role of Actors and a ‘Conducive’ Socio-Political Atmosphere
RURAL SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES Vol. III, No. 3, 2017 Maoism in Bihar- A Discourse on the Role of Actors and a ‘Conducive’ Socio-Political Atmosphere Suparna Banerjee Junior Researcher Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung (Centre for Development Research) University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany 2017 marked the 50th anniversary of a long standing political conflict in India- Maoism. Its continuation points not only to the failure of the approaches adopted by the Government but also to the support rendered to the Maoists by the rural and Adivasi population of central India. Mobilization of masses has many a times pushed the Maoists to venture into unknown terrain where it had to engage even at the cost of their much revered ideology. This paper argues, how, at the backdrop of rising Maoist presence, conducive socio-political atmosphere was created for not only the movement to originate but also to continue unabated for long time. It also attempts to critically study the role and contribution of various actors towards such an atmosphere which propagated the current crisis. Keywords: Maoism, ideology, mobilization, actors, socio-political Introduction: The year 2017 was symbolic as it marked the 50th anniversary of a long standing political movement in India. The terminology of the conflict has undergone variations marking relevance in different phases. In the initial years it was known as Naxalism, from the place Naxalbari, in the Siliguri subdivision of West Bengal from where the uprising originated. It occurred under the militant leadership of Charu Mazumder in 1967. Later, the members of the uprising formed a political party, Communist Party of India (Marxist- Leninist) (CPI (ML). -
Case Comment on S.P. Mittal V. Union of India
An Open Access Journal from The Law Brigade (Publishing) Group 142 ELECTORAL POLITICS AND SECULARISM: LEGAL FACET Written by Debasmita Bhattacharjee* & Carol Elsa Zachariah** * 3rd Year BA LLB Student, School of Law, Christ University ** 3rd Year BA LLB Student, School of Law, Christ University INTRODUCTION A layman perception of secularism will encompass a view of religious coexistence. However, such a narrow thought doesn't suffice the true spirit of the same. As quoted by Shashi Tharoor, the Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, “Western dictionaries define secularism as absence of religion but Indian secularism does not mean that irreligiousness. It means profusion of religions." Mere coexistence is insufficient to indicate if equality persists between the existing religions.1 Thus, secularism might fail to serve the very purpose for which it was introduced into the Indian society: equal protection to all religions. India might have officially declared itself a secular country in the year 1976 when the words secular and socialist were added to the Preamble through the 42nd amendment, but a very careful analysis of the Constitution of India will very well indicate that secularism had always been an innate part of the political ambition of the Drafting Committee. Article 15 under Chapter III of the Constitution of India dictates that no individual will be discriminated by the state on the ground of religions. Other fundamental rights which supplement the efforts in preserving the status of a secular state include articles 16, 17, 25, 26, 27 and 28. In Chapter IV, articles 44 and 46 highlight the state's endeavour to further ensure equality among religions through a mechanism of Uniform Civil Code and through promotion of the economic and 1 Historian Romila Thapar Breaks Down What Secularism Is And Is Not In The Indian Context, YOUTH KI AWAAZ (2018), https://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2015/10/secularism-in-india-romila-thapar/ (last visited May 31, 2018). -

Religious Fascism -Yogi Raj in UP
Introduction Hindutva fanaticism is at its peak in Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in India. With around 44 million Muslim population which is 19.3% of the total population, UP ranks first in number of Muslims among all Indian states. UP also contributes the largest number of seats to the Indian parliament. Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) and the extreme right-wing Hindutva groups draw its water and fertiliser from anti-Muslim sentiments have made Uttar Pradesh the best turf to demonise Muslims. Appointment of Yogi Adityanath to be tried in the International Criminal Court for his racial hatred and anti-Muslim stand and crimes, as the chief minister of the state was a very strategic move to ensure that Muslim marginalisation is carried out 'democratically.' Yogi was serving as an MP and had not contested the Assembly election in 2017, yet he was made the CM of UP. Development of the state or the welfare of the people, let alone of the Muslims, of the state have never been an agenda of the present UP government since the coronation of Yogi Adityanath aka Ajay Mohan Bisht, as the 'emperor' of Uttar Pradesh. The focus of Yogi government has been on hunting Muslims raising various false allegations against them. UP Police which have ever been discredited for human rights violations and communal bias against Muslims and Dalits, crossed all limits under Yogi Raj. This booklet is a collection of data and facts from authentic news sources on the web, about the crimes of Yogi in Uttar Pradesh. The following chapters are included in the booklet 1. -
