  • Insurgency, Counter-Insurgency, and Democracy in Central India
    CHAPTER 9 Insurgency, Counter-insurgency, and Democracy in Central India NANDINI SUNDAR The Naxalite movement began in India in the late 1960s as a peasant struggle (in Naxalbari, West Bengal, hence the name Naxalite). It represented the revolutionary stream of Indian Marxism which did not believe that parliamentary democracy would lead to the requisite systemic change and argued for armed struggle instead. While the Indian state managed to crush the movement in the 1970s, causing an already ideologically fractured movement to splinter further (currently 34 parties by official estimates),1 in 2004 two of the major parties, the Communist Party of India (CPI) (Marxist-Leninist) People’s War (formed out of the merger of the People’s War Group with Party Unity) and the Maoist Communist Center (MCC) of India, united to form the Communist Party of India (Maoist).2 The CPI (Maoist) is currently a significant political force across several states, especially in rural areas where state services have been inadequate or absent.3 Since about 2005-6, the Maoists have become the main target of the Indian state, with thousands of paramilitary forces being poured into the areas where they are strong, and the prime minister repeatedly referring to them as India’s biggest security threat. As a consequence, armed conflict is occurring across large parts of central India and is taking several hundred lives on an annual basis. In the state of Chhattisgarh, which is the epicentre of the war, sovereignty is contested over large parts of terrain. COMPETING PERSPECTIVES ON THE MAOIST ISSUE There are three main perspectives on the Maoist issue.

  • Issues of Governor and Article 356 in Mizoram
    Vol. VI, Issue 1 (June 2020) http://www.mzuhssjournal.in/ Issues of Governor and Article 356 in Mizoram Lalrinngheta * Abstract In this article an attempt is made to study how the role of Governor is important in centre-state relations in India, pariticularly in the case of Mizoram. Its implications on the state especially when regime changes at the centre. Imposition of Article 356 thrice in the state of Mizoram and political background on which they were imposed were studied. Keywords : Governor, Article 356, Mizoram, Centre-State Relations. Mizoram was granted Union Territory only in 1972. From this time onwards till it attained statehood in 1987 there are six Lieutenant Governors in the U. T. After it attained statehood there are 18 Governors in the state till today (the incumbent one Kummanam Rajasekharan in 2018). These sixteen Governors of Mizoram were distinguished figures in their career and professions. Their professions vary from army personnel, politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers and agriculturist to academician.1 During the period 2014-2016 Mizoram had seven Governors. There has even been a feeling among the Mizo people that the Central Government was playing a dirty game with regard to the appointment of Governor in the state. The Mizo Zirlai Pawl (the largest student’s body in the state) also stated that the state deserved better treatment not just like where disfavoured Governors were posted. When BJP under the alliance of NDA formed government at the centre in 2014 turmoil had begun in the post of Governor of Mizoram. The first case being Vakkom B. Purushothaman. He was appointed as the 18 th Governor of Mizoram on 26 th August 2011 by President Pratibha Patil by replacing Madan Mohan Lakhera and took office on 2 nd September 2011 during Indian National Congress ruled at the centre.

  • The Case of Jharkhand's Electricity Sector
    Extractive States and Layered Conflict: The Case of Jharkhand’s Electricity Sector Working Paper Mapping Power Project Rohit Chandra June 2017 Project Overview This working paper was written as part of a collaborative research project, Mapping Power, which aims to provide a state-level analysis of India’s electricity governance. The project is coordinated by Sunila S. Kale (University of Washington, Seattle), Navroz K.

  • Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options
    Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options Sandip Sukhtankar1 Milan Vaishnav2 April 27, 2015 Abstract Corruption has become an increasingly salient issue in India today, spawning both enormous interest from the media as well as a large amount of academic research. Yet there is a large gap between what has captured the media’s attention, the policy options under discussion, and the actual evidence base drawn from empirical research on corruption. We attempt to bridge this gap, directly addressing the particular challenges that corruption in India poses. Academic evidence supports the popular perception that corruption is widespread and endemic. However, we find that the costs of day-to-day corruption are just as large, if not larger, than those of the “scams” that dominate headlines. Further, we find that there is very little evidence to support the idea that greater transparency, information, and community based efforts have a significant impact on reducing corruption on their own. This is also true for some technological interventions, although those interventions – like direct benefit transfers – that bypass middlemen and corrupt officials have a much greater scope for success, as do interventions that transfer bargaining power to citizens and beneficiaries. We find much to commend in the sensible and wide-ranging legislative agenda to combat corruption, including the Right to Service and Public Procurement bills. However, what is most important for combating corruption is not the law on paper but the implementation of the law; the binding constraint, as always, is the government’s desire and ability to punish corrupt officials and politicians.
