  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

  • Federalism Versus Regional Control
    Working paper Federalism versus Regional Control Implications for Groundwater Resource in India Sheetal Sekhri March 2011 Federalism versus Regional Control: Implications for Groundwater Resource in India ⇤ Sheetal Sekhri† Abstract Federal versus regional control over provision of resources can have di↵erent impli- cations for long run sustainability of natural resources. This paper examines the trade o↵ between short term growth and long term conservation incentives of elected legis- lators from regional and national political parties for groundwater provision. Regional legislators have a stronger incentive to promote regional growth, which can lead to a rapid decline of resource stocks. On the other hand, regional parties are limited to contesting elections from the region, and hence have stronger incentives to conserve re- sources for future periods. These two e↵ects can o↵set each other. This paper proposes and tests the hypothesis that under high cost of provision to the legislators, regional regimes can lead to conservation because they internalize inter-temporal externalities. I use nationally representative data on groundwater from India, and an increase in the cost of groundwater provision for the legislators induced by the reforms in the elec- tricity sector, to show that private competition induced in electricity sector leads to groundwater conservation under regional regimes. JEL Classifications: O12, O13, Q01, Q25, Q56, H54 ⇤I wish to thank Central Groundwater Board of India for providing the groundwater data. Sisir Debnath provided excellent research assistance. Funding from International Growth Centre, London School of Eco- nomics(Grant # RA-2009-11-029) is greatly acknowledged. †Email: [email protected] 1 Introduction There is a fundamental trade-o↵ between resource intensive development initiatives, and sustaining the stock of these resources.

  • Reflections of Amma
    Chapter 1 A Darshan Embrace Experiencing Authenticity and Feeling Witnessed To Amma, whether they be a fanatic Hindu or a fanatic Muslim or a fanatic Christian, everybody is her children [sic]. If tomorrow Bin Laden were to come and get a darshan from Amma, Amma would hug him. Amma will not even say that, “oh why are you being a fanatic?” For her, everybody is her children [sic]. So in one sense, she embodies the compassion, compassionate aspect of everything. And so she cannot say that this person is wrong and this person is right. She will not say that. Because as I said, to her, everyone is an expression of the Divine. But that doesn’t mean that she says what they do is correct. And personally, I have seen Amma giving advice to people saying that this is not the correct path to follow, you should change. And so, I would say that, Amma, it is according to each person and their ability to understand and listen and to implement those things that Amma gives the advice. And if they are not ready to hear what Amma says, then Amma will not give them any advice. [It is] just like pouring water on a cup that has been kept upside down. —Br. Dayamrita In 2008, in the midst of the bustling darshan program1 in San Ramon, California, a medical van arrived outside of the overfl owing darshan hall of the ashram. Personal assistants helped Jason, a severely disabled young man with Lou Gehrig’s disease, enter the sacred space.

  • Issn: 2278-6236 Performance of Indian National
    International Journal of Advanced Research in Management and Social Sciences ISSN: 2278-6236 PERFORMANCE OF INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESSIN HARYANA ASSEMBLY ELECTION 2009 Suman* Neeraj** INTRODUCTION In most of the modern states with large areas and population, the government is run by the representatives, who are elected by the people. For electing the representatives, elections are necessary. Elections are fought generally on party basis, though some candidates fight elections as independent candidates. The party, which gets a majority, forms the government. If the representatives, during their tenure, do not work for the welfare of the people, they can be replaced at the time of next elections. In this way, people maintain their control over the government because their representatives know that they can be voted out of power in the next elections if they do not satisfy the people and work for their welfare. Free and fair elections are the basic characteristics of a democracy by which representative are elected. India is one of the largest democracies of the world where the Member of Parliament (MPs) and Member of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and administrator at local level are elected directly by the people.For electing the representatives, elections are necessary. MPs and MLAs elections are fought generally on party basis, though some candidates fight elections as independent candidates.In the post-independence period only ‘Indian National Congress’ was the strongest political party. But in present time the regional parties are becoming powerful. The electoral contest between national parties and regional parties has drawn attention of the political geographers and elections are considered essential for the development of the country.
