  • E-Digest on Ambedkar's Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology
    Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology An E-Digest Compiled by Ram Puniyani (For Private Circulation) Center for Study of Society and Secularism & All India Secular Forum 602 & 603, New Silver Star, Behind BEST Bus Depot, Santacruz (E), Mumbai: - 400 055. E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.

  • Did Chidambaram Subvert the Foreign Investment Promotion Board?
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Circumventing Institutions: Did Chidambaram Subvert the Foreign Investment Promotion Board? JAI BHATIA, ADVAIT RAO PALEPU Vol. 52, Issue No. 24, 17 Jun, 2017 Jai Bhatia ([email protected]) is a PhD student at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. Advait Rao Palepu ([email protected]) is an independent researcher. The raids on premises connected to former Union Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram have attracted attention because of the allegations by the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Enforcement Directorate and Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament Subramanian Swamy that the functioning of the soon-to-be defunct Foreign Investment Promotion Board was sought to be subverted. One major accusation against Chidambaram is that he manipulated the working of the FIPB to help the former Communications Minister Dayanidhi Maran in the Aircel–Maxis case. The EPW presents for the first time how this unusual deal was structured in a convoluted manner using preference shares. By World Economic Forum [CC BY-SA 2.0], via Wikimedia Commons ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 On 16 May, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted search and seizure raids in four cities on the homes and offices of former Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram. These raids were related to a probe by the CBI on a foreign investment approval granted to the Peter and Indrani Mukherjee owned INX Media by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). This clearance, it has been alleged by the CBI and others, was illegally obtained by the company.

  • The Saffron Wave Meets the Silent Revolution: Why the Poor Vote for Hindu Nationalism in India
    THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tariq Thachil August 2009 © 2009 Tariq Thachil THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA Tariq Thachil, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 How do religious parties with historically elite support bases win the mass support required to succeed in democratic politics? This dissertation examines why the world’s largest such party, the upper-caste, Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has experienced variable success in wooing poor Hindu populations across India. Briefly, my research demonstrates that neither conventional clientelist techniques used by elite parties, nor strategies of ideological polarization favored by religious parties, explain the BJP’s pattern of success with poor Hindus. Instead the party has relied on the efforts of its ‘social service’ organizational affiliates in the broader Hindu nationalist movement. The dissertation articulates and tests several hypotheses about the efficacy of this organizational approach in forging party-voter linkages at the national, state, district, and individual level, employing a multi-level research design including a range of statistical and qualitative techniques of analysis. In doing so, the dissertation utilizes national and author-conducted local survey data, extensive interviews, and close observation of Hindu nationalist recruitment techniques collected over thirteen months of fieldwork. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Tariq Thachil was born in New Delhi, India. He received his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Stanford University in 2003.
