  • How Has Indian Federalism Done?
    Military-Madrasa-MullahAArticle Global Threat Complex 4343 Studies in Indian Politics How has Indian Federalism Done? 1(1) 43–63 © 2013 Lokniti, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies SAGE Publications Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC Ashutosh Varshney DOI: 10.1177/2321023013482787 http://inp.sagepub.com Abstract Two tropes have dominated discussions of Indian federalism: fiscal and constitutional. Isolated exceptions aside, scholars have not linked India’s federalism to comparative theories of nationalism, or to a comparative exploration of national identities. To examine how India’s federalism has done, we may also need to ask what kind of nation India is. Once we answer that question, the oft-assumed binary—that the stronger the states are, the weaker the centre will be–loses its edge. Both can be simultaneously strong. The new exception may be the problem of cross-border terrorism, which indeed generates a binary for the new age. Secessionism also creates centre–state binaries, but that may be more on account of how the basic ideational principles of Indian nationhood have been violated, not followed, or about how far the historical process of nation-building penetrated the rebellious regions. Such problems have not been about the basic flaws of Indian federalism. Keywords State–nation, nation–state, multicultural nation, linguistic states, cross-cutting identities, cross-border terrorism This article departs from the conventional work on India’s federalism1. Most traditional scholarship took two forms. The focus was either on what is called fiscal federalism, or on strictly constitutional matters. The literature on fiscal federalism revolved around resource transfers from the centre to the states: its logic, equity and quantum.

  • 2018, Four Senior Most Judges of the Supreme Court, Namely Justice
    Rebellion in the Supreme Court By N.T.Ravindranath, dated 12-03-2018 On January 12th, 2018, four senior most judges of the Supreme Court, namely justice Chelameshwar, Ranjan Gogoi, Joseph Kurian and Madan Lokur stunned the people of India by openly revolting against the Chief Justice of India and conducting a press conference in Delhi accusing CJI Deepak Mishra of selective allocation of important cases for hearing to junior judges in an improper and inappropriate manner. Allocation of cases to different benches is the sole prerogative of the Chief Justice of India. Many important cases have been allocated to junior judges in the past and there is nothing unusual or unfair about it. The four dissident judges claim that all judges are equals and that the chief justice is only the first among the equals. On the other hand, contradicting their own assertion, they refuse to treat their own junior judges as their equals. Thus, their allegations against the chief justice Deepak Mishra can be seen as baseless and without any merit. Hence, the open mutiny staged by the four rebel judges is highly condemnable. This episode has not cast any shadow of doubt on the reputation and credibility of CJI Deepak Mishra. On the contrary, it is the four rebel judges who now stand exposed as crooks by their open expression of frustration and anger over non-allocation of certain cases of their interest to them. Their open revolt has only helped to expose their undue interest in getting certain cases allocated to them for their own vested interests which has raised questions about the impartiality and credibility of the Supreme Court.

  • 15 October 2019 India
    15 October 2019 India: Attacks and harassment of human rights defenders working on indigenous and marginalized people's rights On 5 October 2019, Soni Sori was arrested by the Dantewada Police under Preventive Sections 151, 107 and 116 of the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure. The arrest is believed to be linked to the human rights defender’s public campaign for the rights of persons languishing in jails in the State. Soni Sori was charged with “failing to obtain the necessary permission to organise a demonstration”. She was released on bail by the local court that same day. On 16 September 2019, the Chhattisgarh police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Soni Sori and human rights defender Bela Bhatia. This FIR is believed to be a reprisal against the two human rights defenders for their participation in a protest and their filing of a complaint in the Kirandul police station demanding that an FIR be lodged against the police and security forces for the killings of human rights defenders, Podiya Sori and Lacchu Mandavi. Soni Sori is a human rights defender who advocates for the rights of indigenous people in India, with a focus on women's rights. She works in Chhattisgarh, where the long-term conflict between Maoists and government security forces has greatly affected the indigenous people in the area. Alongside other human rights defenders, she has uncovered human rights violations committed by both sides of the conflict. In 2018, Soni Sori was the regional winner of the Front Line Defenders Award for human rights defenders at risk.

  • Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, INDIA Chairperson NHRC F o r e w o r d The National Human Rights Commission is pleased to present to the Parliament and people of India, its twenty-fourth Annual Report for the period from 01 April 2016 to 31 March 2017. 2. The National Human Rights Commission has completed 24 years of its pioneering work in the promotion and protection of human rights since its establishment on 12 October 1993 under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. Since then, the Commission has consistently worked towards bringing a human rights-centered approach in the Government at Central and State levels, as well as towards creating human rights awareness and sensitization amongst public authorities and civil society. Through the years, the Commission has channelized its efforts towards broadening the ambit of human rights to ensure the protection of the civil and political rights of the people as well as safeguard their economic, social, and cultural rights. 3. In a society as diverse as ours, the indivisibility and inter-connectedness of human rights, whether civil and political or economic, social and cultural, is self-evident, especially in respect of the most vulnerable, including people belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Women, Children, Disabled and other vulnerable groups. The deprivation, problems and concerns that confront each of these groups, remained an important area of concern for the Commission during the period under review. 4. Accordingly, during 2016-2017, the Commission continued to intervene in matters concerning civil and political rights, on the basis of suo motu cognizance of media reports as well as complaints received.

  • Coalition Governments in India: the Way Forward
    International Journal of Research in Engineering, IT and Social Sciences ISSN 2250-0558, Impact Factor: 6.452, Volume 6 Issue 03, March 2016 Coalition governments in India: The way forward Veena.K Assistant professor, Department of Political Science & Research scholar (BU), Government Arts College, Bangalore -560001 ABSTRACT Indian federal system says clearly the „distribution of power „has been assured by the constitution for the „effective administration‟ and it is reflected in Indian parliamentary democracy. India has a multi party system where there is a number of national and regional political party because of which there is an emergence of coalition governments in India. The governments have been formed at the centre or at the state based on the „First –past- the- post-electoral system‟ in the Indian political system. Electoral politics of India before independence and after independence witnessed major changes in forming government, its running and completing of its tenure. Elections in India will be held once in five years to choose the leader and peoples‟ representatives, wherein the election commission and delimitation commission play significant roles. Indian democratically elected government is chosen by its large population of different sectors such as, region, religion, caste, language etc, but the uneven development of regions and non performance of national parties resulted in rise of regional political parties in India. Regional political parties are the pillars of the coalitions today in making or breaking but capturing the power is the ultimate goal of any of the party.

  • A Sociological Review of the Chhattisgarh Special Public Safety Act 2005
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VI, No 1. Quarter I 2015 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 DEMOCRACY, DRACONIANLAW& STATE: A SOCIOLOGICAL REVIEW OF THE CHHATTISGARH SPECIAL PUBLIC SAFETY ACT 2005 Goldy M. George PhD Scholar, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India Priyanka Sandilya Student, Master Programme in Social Work, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India ABSTRACT Laws are normally meant to maintain the democratic value in any democracy. When laws turn tyrannical it is also an indication of the State playing in the hands of a few vested interest groups. This automatically leads to the discount of violence and killing by security forces under the garb of ‘security concerns’. This is what is happening in Chhattisgarh. The paper delves deep into some of the sociological concerns of anti- people law and what implications does it bring back to the ordinary masses. It also looks at why such laws come in place, particularly in a democratic set-up. Keywords: Law, Democracy, Anti-People, Draconian Law, Industrialisation, Corporate, Adivasi, Mining, CSPSA, Civil Liberties, Human Rights, Maoist, Security. INTRODUCTION India has framed several anti-people laws in the past right from the period of British times. During the British period, it was a means to keep a tight control over people who agitated or revolted against the eminent domain. This was a mechanism by which the British government used to unleash extreme level of violence, conflicts and also kept people on constant fear and terror. Technically the British is no more in India at present, 1 Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VI, No 1.
