Moinuddin, The Political Twittersphere in India, Springer Geography, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11602-6 Appendix B Facebook has been the undisputed behemoth of social media for years now, but a study shows that this may be changing among the youth. It is easy to come across people who can’t go through a day without accessing Facebook. But now, Twitter has entered the fray and is eating into Facebook’s user base. And importantly it is attracting the youth who form such a big mainstay of social media business. Twitter is used more as a listen exercise. Users listen in on what the target audience discussed. That way, they can stay up to date on industry trends and give users what they want. It can be a valuable tool to get almost instantaneous news updates. By the end of 2012, 21% of the global Internet population used Twitter on a regular basis. Each month, 288 million people sign in at least once. The popularity of Facebook and Twitter differs by age ranges. Just over 30% of Facebook users are younger than 34 years old. Meanwhile, 45% of users are over 45 years old. But nearly half of all Twitter users are under the age of 34 years old, and only 30% are over 45 years old. When asked, Jayanti M, a final-year medical student who uses Twitter very regularly and has a few hundred ‘followers’ on the platform said ‘Twitter works well for people who are too lazy to sit and write entire blogs. It makes it easier to connect to like-minded people from across the globe, and also, it is easier to voice your thoughts on Twitter because all the family and relatives are yet to discover Twitter unlike Facebook’.1 1http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/report-Twitter-becoming-more-popular-than-facebook-among- the-youth-1872226, last accessed March 21, 2016. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 115 S. Moinuddin, The Political Twittersphere in India, Springer Geography, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11602-6 Appendix C When the saga of Twitter started in India is not exactly known but among politi- cians, Congress Party member of Parliament and former Union Minister Mr. Shashi Tharoor were somehow responsible when he once twitted ‘cattle class’ in solidarity with all our ‘holy cows’.2 Of course, it became contentious issue in the politics and Congress Party had defended that he is being a new in the politics; in future, he would care of all this; no one should hurt at all. The gossips about Twitter discussed in various colour across old media and social media. In between such contentious idea, Twitter expanded its reach, and over a period of time, it established and became one of important SNSs across different sections of people including politicians as well. 2For details see, http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tharoors-cattle-class-tweet-annoys- congress/article21179.ece, last accessed March 23, 2016. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 117 S. Moinuddin, The Political Twittersphere in India, Springer Geography, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11602-6 Appendix D Without knowing what he was doing, Sohaib Athar, a.k.a. @ Really Virtual, has more or less just live-tweeted the raid in which terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday. The IT consultant resides in Abbottabad, the town where Osama bin Laden was found and killed by US military operation. Athar first posted about events surrounding the raid 10 h before the publication of this article, written, ‘Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1 AM (is a rare event)’. He didn’t realize that he’d been tweeting about a top-secret attempt to kill an internationally wanted terrorist until nine hours later. Athar reported that one of the copters he’d heard had crashed and that the aircraft were not Pakistani. We now know that four helicopters had been sent to raid bin Laden’s mansion in the town, and one was hit by enemy fire from the ground. During the raid, Athar speculates that he was two or three kilometres away from the shooting that took place. Once news broke that bin Laden had been killed in Abbottabad, Athar tweeted, ‘Uh oh, now I’m the guy who live blogged the Osama raid without knowing it’. Athar further reported that traffic was shut down in some areas, and the army had cordoned off the helicopter crash site. Yet, he remains humble. ‘I am JUST a tweeter, awake at the time of the crash. Not many Twitter users in Abbottabad, these guys are more into Facebook. That’s all’.3 3For details see, http://mashable.com/2011/05/02/live-tweet-bin-laden-raid/# last accessed, March 20, 2016 (It was Sohaib Athar who first acknowledged the incident even without the knowing what exactly going on). © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 119 S. Moinuddin, The Political Twittersphere in India, Springer Geography, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11602-6 Appendix E Aircel-Maxis Deal April–May 2011: The Aircel-Maxis deal came under the scanner after Aircel owner C. Sivasankaran lodged a complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation alleging that he was pressurized to sell his stakes to Maxis. September 2011: The arbitral tribunal rejected Mr. Sivasankaran’s allegation regarding breach of obligations on the part of buyers in undertaking an IPO of Aircel. The tribunal directed him to pay Maxis’s legal costs of $7.9 million, of which at least $1.4 million was paid. The award was not challenged. October 2011: The CBI filed a case alleging that Mr. Sivasankaran, who had applied for spectrum licence, was coerced into selling his company to Maxis. It is later alleged that the Maxis Group, which bought 74% stakes in Aircel in March 2006, invested Rs. 742 crore in Sun Direct between 2007 and 2009. May 2014: The CBI told the Supreme Court that there was difference of opinion between the CBI Director and the prosecution regarding filing of the charge sheet. On reference, the Attorney General opined that there was enough prosecutable evidence. July 2014: Maxis Communications Berhad on July 25 urged Finance Minister Arun Jaitley that it be treated in a fair manner, citing a contrary opinion by two retired Chief Justices of India. August 2014: The CBI on August 29 filed charge sheet against former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanidhi Maran; T. Ananda Krishnan, owner of Malaysian company Maxis; Ralph Marshall, a senior executive of the Maxis Group, and four companies, including the Sun Direct TV Pvt. Ltd. 5 February 2015: Marans moved the Supreme Court challenging the 2G Special Court’s decision to summon them in the Aircel-Maxis case. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 121 S. Moinuddin, The Political Twittersphere in India, Springer Geography, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11602-6 122 Appendix E: Aircel-Maxis Deal 6 February 2015: The Supreme Court recalled its order refusing to entertain petitions of the former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother, Kalanithi Maran, to quash summons in the Aircel-Maxis case issued by a special court trying the 2G spectrum scam. 9 February 2015: The Supreme Court refused to intervene with a summons order issued by the 2G Special Court to former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanithi Maran in connection with the Aircel-Maxis deal case. 16 March 2015: Marans challenged the jurisdiction of the Special CBI Court over the Aircel-Maxis deal case. 1 April 2015: The Enforcement Directorate attached assets estimated at Rs. 742.58 crore held by Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanithi Maran and wife Kavery Kalanithi. 3 August 2015: The CBI told a special court that Malaysian authorities were not ‘cooperating’ in the service of summons against four accused in the Aircel-Maxis deal case after which the judge issued fresh summons. 21 August 2015: Supreme Court stays ED move to attach Sun TV assets.

  • India: the Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India
    ASARC Working Paper 2009/06 India: The Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India Desh Gupta, University of Canberra Abstract This paper explains the complex of factors in the weakening of the Congress Party from the height of its power at the centre in 1984. They are connected with the rise of state and regional-based parties, the greater acceptability of BJP as an alternative in some of the states and at the Centre, and as a partner to some of the state-based parties, which are in competition with Congress. In addition, it demonstrates that even as the dominance of Congress has diminished, there have been substantial improvements in the economic performance and primary education enrolment. It is argued that V.P. Singh played an important role both in the diminishing of the Congress Party and in India’s improved economic performance. Competition between BJP and Congress has led to increased focus on improved governance. Congress improved its position in the 2009 Parliamentary elections and the reasons for this are briefly covered. But this does not guarantee an improved performance in the future. Whatever the outcomes of the future elections, India’s reforms are likely to continue and India’s economic future remains bright. Increased political contestability has increased focus on governance by Congress, BJP and even state-based and regional parties. This should ensure improved economic and outcomes and implementation of policies.

    DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL POLITICS IN INDIA: A STUDY OF COALITION OF POLITICAL PARTIB IN UHAR PRADESH ABSTRACT THB8IS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF fioctor of ^IHloKoplip IN POLITICAL SaENCE BY TABRBZ AbAM Un<l«r tht SupMvMon of PBOP. N. SUBSAHNANYAN DEPARTMENT Of POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALI6ARH (INDIA) The thesis "Development of Regional Politics in India : A Study of Coalition of Political Parties in Uttar Pradesh" is an attempt to analyse the multifarious dimensions, actions and interactions of the politics of regionalism in India and the coalition politics in Uttar Pradesh.

  • A Number of Decisions Made by the Rajiv Gandhi Government
    Back to the Future: The Congress Party’s Upset Victory in India’s 14th General Elections Introduction The outcome of India’s 14th General Elections, held in four phases between April 20 and May 10, 2004, was a big surprise to most election-watchers. The incumbent center-right National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had been expected to win comfortably--with some even speculating that the BJP could win a majority of the seats in parliament on its own. Instead, the NDA was soundly defeated by a center-left alliance led by the Indian National Congress or Congress Party. The Congress Party, which dominated Indian politics until the 1990s, had been written off by most observers but edged out the BJP to become the largest party in parliament for the first time since 1996.1 The result was not a complete surprise as opinion polls did show the tide turning against the NDA. While early polls forecast a landslide victory for the NDA, later ones suggested a narrow victory, and by the end, most exit polls predicted a “hung” parliament with both sides jockeying for support. As it turned out, the Congress-led alliance, which did not have a formal name, won 217 seats to the NDA’s 185, with the Congress itself winning 145 seats to the BJP’s 138. Although neither alliance won a majority in the 543-seat lower house of parliament (Lok Sabha) the Congress-led alliance was preferred by most of the remaining parties, especially the four-party communist-led Left Front, which won enough seats to guarantee a Congress government.2 Table 1: Summary of Results of 2004 General Elections in India.

  • The Impact of Lexical Diversity Upon Message Effectiveness in Urdu News Media: a Psycholinguistic Assessment
    THE IMPACT OF LEXICAL DIVERSITY UPON MESSAGE EFFECTIVENESS IN URDU NEWS MEDIA: A PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ASSESSMENT ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of $I)iIos(Qptip IN LINGUISTICS BY AEJAZ M0HAMS4ED SHEIKH Under the Supervision of Dr. A. R. FATIHI (READER) DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1998 \ 8 DEC J999 Abstract Abstract __^ Presumably, as a consequence of the apparent force and wide use of the mass media in information campaign, there has been concern for sometime with the role of communication media in the creation of message effects. The proposed research topic intends to examine the effect of lexical diversity upon message effectiveness. The study will examine the effect that messages have when communicated through a set of lexical items to produce a wholesale change in community's social construction of reality. The effect of lexical diversity upon the message will be measured by analysing the lexical choice of Urdu dailies like Qaumi Awaz. Pratap, Hind Samachar, Srinagar Times and the like. Besides, the lexical choice of All India Radio, Doordarshan, Radio Pakistan and B.B.C. will also be taken into consideration. Research about structural relations and meaning relations among the messages that form discursive constructions thus apply to the study of message effect. The study will make it clear that to take strategic decisions about the content, style and medium of messages, produced to achieve certain effects, communicators need to know not only respondents' cognitions and dispositions but also about key constituents and their interconnections in the disocourse context. In this backdrop, the present study assesses the impact of lexical diversity upon message effectiveness.

  • Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 4158–4180 1932–8036/20170005 Fragile Hegemony: Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India SUBIR SINHA1 School of Oriental and African Studies, London, UK Direct and unmediated communication between the leader and the people defines and constitutes populism. I examine how social media, and communicative practices typical to it, function as sites and modes for constituting competing models of the leader, the people, and their relationship in contemporary Indian politics. Social media was mobilized for creating a parliamentary majority for Narendra Modi, who dominated this terrain and whose campaign mastered the use of different platforms to access and enroll diverse social groups into a winning coalition behind his claims to a “developmental sovereignty” ratified by “the people.” Following his victory, other parties and political formations have established substantial presence on these platforms. I examine emerging strategies of using social media to criticize and satirize Modi and offering alternative leader-people relations, thus democratizing social media. Practices of critique and its dissemination suggest the outlines of possible “counterpeople” available for enrollment in populism’s future forms. I conclude with remarks about the connection between activated citizens on social media and the fragility of hegemony in the domain of politics more generally. Keywords: Modi, populism, Twitter, WhatsApp, social media On January 24, 2017, India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), proudly tweeted that Narendra Modi, its iconic prime minister of India, had become “the world’s most followed leader on social media” (see Figure 1). Modi’s management of—and dominance over—media and social media was a key factor contributing to his convincing win in the 2014 general election, when he led his party to a parliamentary majority, winning 31% of the votes cast.

  • Sanskrit Literature and the Scientific Development in India
    SANSKRIT LITERATURE AND THE SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA By : Justice Markandey Katju, Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech delivered on 27.11.2010 at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi Friends, It is an honour for me to be invited to speak in this great University which has produced eminent scholars, many of them of world repute. It is also an honour for me to be invited to Varanasi, a city which has been a great seat of Indian culture for thousands of years. The topic which I have chosen to speak on today is : ‘Sanskrit Literature and the Scientific Development in India’. I have chosen this topic because this is the age of science, and to progress we must spread the scientific outlook among our masses. Today India is facing huge problems, social, economic and cultural. In my opinion these can only be solved by science. We have to spread the scientific outlook to every nook and corner of our country. And by science I mean not just physics, chemistry and biology but the entire scientific outlook. We must transform our people and make them modern minded. By modern I do not mean wearing a fine suit or tie or a pretty skirt or jeans. A person can be wearing that and yet be backward mentally. By being modern I mean having a modern mind, which means a logical mind, a questioning mind, a scientific mind. The foundation of Indian culture is based on the Sanskrit language. There is a misconception about the Sanskrit language that it is only a language for chanting mantras in temples or religious ceremonies.
