Ambedkar Jayanti –14th April, 2014. Modi’s role in the Gujarat riots or failure to control the riots during his tenors as Chief Minister has Yes, we are back, after a gap of 5 months. On always been looked with suspicion. During Modi’s account of few technical reasons, we could not interview with Mr. Karan Thaper3 for a TV Channel, release Buddhist Voice since November 2013. he avoided all the questions related to Gujarat Riots. Therefore, in case Mr. Modi becomes Prime Minster Its election time in India and the entire country is of India, the minorities in India fear that India may witnessing an election wave. The general elections in not remain a true secular country during his tenor. the country are being held in 10 phases. The If Modi voted to 2/3rd majority in this election, there country has voted in first five phases and remaining might be considerable damage to the basic structure five phases are on the way. It appears that the of the Parliamentary Democracy in India. No doubt, entire print, electronic, social and visual media is BJP or Mr. Modi will have to win at least 50% seats promoting BJP, sorry, Mr. Narendra Damodardas so that Mr. Modi can become the Prime Minister of Modi, the Prime Ministerial candidate of BJP. The India, else it will be difficult for BJP to garner any world’s largest parliamentary democracy is in support for Mr. Modi as PM from NDA partners or danger as the right wing wants to convert it into even within BJP. Presidential Form of Governance. It is, therefore, not shocking that Mr. Modi is being projected as the Falling Vote Share of the Ruling Parties and Prime Ministerial candidate and the votes are being Coalition asked on Mr. Modi’s name. There is no talk about It can be observed from the past elections that the party ideology. It is evident from BJP’s slogan “Ab ki winning party is slowly losing the actual vote base. Baar Modi Sarkar” that it is all about Modi and It can be observed that, of late, the winning party is nothing else. The entire election campaign is managing to get not more than 30% of the votes. In focusing on one man and that is Modi. BJP’s the 15th Lok Sabha, the average vote received by the campaign for election projecting Modi as Vikas MPs is about 25%.

  • Chapter Seven
    2008006. Sinha. 07_Chapter7. Proef 4. 13-5-2008:12.06, page 189. chapter seven CONCLUSIONS When the World War came to an end in 1945 after the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan by America, the world scenario changed overnight. The Allies had won the war and the Axis Powers had lost it. The war which had been fought almost all over the world was decided in Japan in Asia. The time of the final defeat, its location and the ulti- mate weapon used for it are the three factors crucial for understanding the problems and issues concerned with the development of science in India and in fact in Asia as a whole. This was a period of national upsurge against foreign rule in most of the Western colonies in Asia, and thus against imperialism and Western capitalism—a high time for the West to tame the tide in their favour. The Indian subcontinent was in the last leg of its freedom struggle and many adjoining regions were undergoing similar movements; but it was the farthest Japan that posed the greatest danger for the Western Allies. Rooted in a typical cultural tradition of the East, Japan was seething with aggressive nationalism and ready to take on the forces of the West. To add to the problem, she was calling for the unity of Asia and emerging as harbinger of a cul- tural awakening in the East. A national stirring was already resonant in the Indian subcontinent. Thirty years before the Second World War began, Gandhi’s evocation in his Hind Swaraj had called for reviving the traditional values of the East and for following them for social progress; between the World Wars, Rabindranath Tagore refined the idea with a modern outlook.1 Scholars like B.K.

  • Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47
    "To the Masses." Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47 Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) eingereicht an der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Patrick Hesse Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekanin der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1. Michael Mann 2. Dietrich Reetz Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20. Juli 2015 Abstract Among the eldest of its kind in Asia, the Communist Party of India (CPI) pioneered the spread of Marxist politics beyond the European arena. Influenced by both Soviet revolutionary practice and radical nationalism in British India, it operated under conditions not provided for in Marxist theory—foremost the prominence of religion and community in social and political life. The thesis analyzes, first, the theoretical and organizational ‘overhead’ of the CPI in terms of the position of religion in a party communist hierarchy of emancipation. It will therefore question the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the one hand, and Comintern doctrines on the other. Secondly, it scrutinizes the approaches and strategies of the CPI and individual members, often biographically biased, to come to grips with the subcontinental environment under the primacy of mass politics. Thirdly, I discuss communist vistas on revolution on concrete instances including (but not limited to) the Gandhian non-cooperation movement, the Moplah rebellion, the subcontinental proletariat, the problem of communalism, and assertion of minority identities. I argue that the CPI established a pattern of vacillation between qualified rejection and conditional appropriation of religion that loosely constituted two diverging revolutionary paradigms characterizing communist practice from the Soviet outset: Western and Eastern.
