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.

Political Economy of India's Fiscal and Financial Reform*
Working Paper No. 105 Political Economy of India’s Fiscal and Financial Reform by John Echeverri-Gent* August 2001 Stanford University John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building 366 Galvez Street | Stanford, CA | 94305-6015 * Associate Professor, Department of Government and Foreign Affairs, University of Virginia 1 Although economic liberalization may involve curtailing state economic intervention, it does not diminish the state’s importance in economic development. In addition to its crucial role in maintaining macroeconomic stability, the state continues to play a vital, if more subtle, role in creating incentives that shape economic activity. States create these incentives in a variety of ways including their authorization of property rights and market microstructures, their creation of regulatory agencies, and the manner in which they structure fiscal federalism. While the incentives established by the state have pervasive economic consequences, they are created and re-created through political processes, and politics is a key factor in explaining the extent to which state institutions promote efficient and equitable behavior in markets. India has experienced two important changes that fundamentally have shaped the course of its economic reform. India’s party system has been transformed from a single party dominant system into a distinctive form of coalitional politics where single-state parties play a pivotal role in making and breaking governments. At the same time economic liberalization has progressively curtailed central government dirigisme and increased the autonomy of market institutions, private sector actors, and state governments. In this essay I will analyze how these changes have shaped the politics of fiscal and financial sector reform. -
Formation and Activities of the Utkal Provincial Krushak Sangha in Colonial Odisha (1935-38)
International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 3 Issue 12 ǁ December. 2014 ǁ PP.46-52 Formation and Activities of the Utkal Provincial Krushak Sangha in Colonial Odisha (1935-38) Amit Kumar Nayak PhD Research Scholar, P.G. Department of History, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. ABSTRACT : The peasants of Odisha came within the ambit of colonial capitalistic economic system after British conquered Odisha in 1803.Up to the end of the Civil Dis-obedience movement, the peasants in Odisha yet remained backward, retrogressive, unorganised and feudal in nature . Out of different circumstances socialism started to germinate in and later on dominated the post-Civil Disobedience movement phase Odisha.The newly indoctrinated socialist leaders took up peasants‟ cause and organised them against colonial hegemonic rule in different issues by organising a special peasants‟ organization in pan-Odishan basis. So, this article tries to locate the efforts of the socialist leaders vis-a-vis the peasants through Utkal Provincial Krushak Sangha. It also endeavours to assess the overall activities of that organisation, its tactics in mobilizing peasants in colonial Odisha from 1935 to 1938.Besides, this article also tries to present how the Utkal Provincial Krushaka Sangha was formed and how it worked as a platform for the peasants of odisha in co-ordinating, mobilising, educating and organising the agrarian community in 1930s and 1940s.. KEYWORDS : Agrarian, Krushaka , Movement, Rebellion , Sangha, , Socialist ,Utkal I. INTRODUCTION Peasants (English term for the Odia word Krushak), being a segment in the complex capitalistic farming system, are destined to fulfill its legitimate rights, according to Karl Marx, through prolonged ‗class struggle‘. -

Dilemma of Resources and Resistance
:: The potential and limits of resource-rich East India Dilemma of resources and resistance Imm Jeong-Seong Senior Business Analyst of POSCO Research Institute est Bengal is located at the lower Ganges-Yamuna River. The Mahanadi River, which literally means the Great River, starts in Chhattisgarh and flows through W the states of Orissa and Jharkhand. These areas have the largest mineral reserves in India, but are usually ranked last in competitiveness. This is the region of East India. Why are the East Indian states so underprivileged? Can their situation be improved? ○● “Resource curse” East India is comprised of the coastal areas along the Bay of Bengal and the tropical inland jungles. Due to easy access, the coastal areas have been modernized quickly. Kolkata has a particularly favorable geographical location; the East India Company chose Kolkata for a British trade settlement. However, 30% of the total area of East India is mountainous, and the 061 Autumn 2011�POSRI Chindia Quarterly populations of native tribes are relatively high: 34% in Chhattisgarh, 28% in Jharkhand, and 22% in Orissa. In some remote districts, this figure is as high as 60-70%. These native tribes are isolated from modernization as well as recent economic development, and are classified as the poorest group in India. Naxalite guerillas are rampant in these mountain regions. They are most active along the meridian from the Himalayas in Nepal to Andhra Pradesh. This area is called “The Red Corridor”. The Naxalites formed in 1967 in Naxalbari, a small village in West Bengal where poor, landless farmers revolted against their rich landlords and seized the land. -

Biju Patnaik
Biju Patnaik January 25, 2021 In news Recently, Indonesia named an embassy room in Biju Patnaik’s honour and recognizes his role in Indonesia’s freedom struggle in 1947 His role The former Chief Minister of Odisha (1990-1995), who was a skilled pilot, flew several missions in 1947 to transport Indonesian leaders including the nation’s tallest leader, President Sukarno, Vice-President Hatta and Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir out of Indonesia, at grave risk to himself. His missions involved flying in undetected to Yogjakarta where the “resistance” Republican leadership led by Sukarno was based when Dutch forces launched “Operation Product” on July 20, 1947 to capture the capital Jakarta. At Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s request, Patnaik, who had earlier served in the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and then joined the freedom movement, agreed to fly one of his Dakota planes into Indonesia, eluding Dutch air surveillance. A newspaper clipping in the Embassy room recounts his heroic actions: how Mr. Patnaik had a narrow escape when Dutch Mustang planes bombed an airfield where his plane had landed, but he was saved by an engineer who hid the plane. On the next day, he was caught in another air-raid at an oil dump and “had to run 300 yards for cover as the Dutch [planes] strafed it,” the report published by a journalist in Singapore said. His most salient mission was to fly out Prime Minister Sjahrir from Indonesia to India, where he was able to address the world about Indonesia’s plight as the Dutch sought to recolonise the country they had granted independence to in 1945. -
