Thinley, delivered the 4th Prof. Hiren Mukerjee Memorial Annual Parliamentary Lecture on “Gross National Happiness: A Holistic Paradigm for Sustainable Well-being” in the Central Hall of the Parliament House. Explaining the philosophy of Gross National Happiness, Mr. Thinley said that it enshrines a unique model of holistic development based on the four key strategies: sustainable and equitable socio- economic development; conservation of environment; preservation and promotion of culture and promotion of good governance. Speaking on the occasion, the Vice-President of India and Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Shri Mohammad Hamid Ansari, highlighted the importance of such a system and even advocated the pursuit of happiness as an essential ingredient of a holistic approach to sustainable development. Emphasizing the importance of the concept of Gross National Happiness, the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh said that “the power of this idea today finds increasing acceptance and I believe that we have a lot to learn from it”. Delivering the Welcome Address, the Speaker, Lok Sabha, Smt. Meira Kumar observed that happiness is the ultimate end desired by all humans and all socio-economic policies and development strategies are means to achieve that end. We include the texts of these Addresses in this issue of the Journal. The 22nd Annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Seminar was held in New Delhi from 25 to 29 November 2011. Inaugurating the Conference, the Speaker, Lok Sabha, Smt. Meira Kumar observed that as elected representatives, it is the responsibility of parliamentarians to restore and strengthen people’s trust and confidence in democratic institutions and processes. The culture of ethical growth, self-correction and uprightness must emanate from our representative institutions. We include the text of the Inaugural Addresses of the Speaker, Lok Sabha, Smt. Meira Kumar in this issue of the Journal. The Speaker, Lok Sabha Smt. Meira Kumar attended the 21st Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers of Commonwealth in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago in January 2012 and was the keynote Speaker in the Workshop on ‘The Role of Parliamentary Diplomacy in the era of globalization.” We reproduce the Paper presented by her at the Conference in this issue of the Journal.

Viswanathan Editor Jai Mata Di m12 1 INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY THE SPEAKER, LOK SABHA, SMT. MEIRA KUMAR AT THE 22ND COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENTARY SEMINAR ON 25 NOVEMBER 2011 AT PARLIAMENT HOUSE ANNEXE, NEW DELHI The 22nd Annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Seminar was hosted jointly by the Parliament of India and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) in Parliament House Annexe, New Delhi from 24 to 29 November 2011. The Speaker, Lok Sabha, Smt. Meira Kumar inaugurated the Seminar on 25 November 2011. Dr. William F. Shija, the Secretary- General of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association also addressed the distinguished gathering on the occasion. We reproduce below the text of the Inaugural Address delivered by the Speaker, Lok Sabha, Smt. Meira Kumar. —Editor It is indeed an honour for me to welcome the Distinguished Delegates and Guests who have assembled here to participate in the 22nd Annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Seminar. On behalf of the people and the Parliament of India and on my own behalf, I extend my greetings and warm wishes to each one of you. I hope your stay in India will be extremely pleasant, stimulating and enriching. I am delighted to have Dr. William F. Shija amidst us under whose dynamic stewardship the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) has been striving to nurture and foster democracy in the Commonwealth countries. I compliment the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association for their initiative in organizing this 22nd Annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Seminar together with the Parliament of India. These Seminars bring parliamentarians on a common platform to appreciate and understand the emerging challenges before democratic governments and define the roles and responsibilities of the parliamentary institutions in addressing them. Parliamentary democracy is undoubtedly the most accepted, successful and ideal form of political system. It is perceived as the best form of governance to fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the people. In this Seminar, we will deliberate and discuss various topics of parliamentary interest including the role of the CPA in the Commonwealth in fourteen 4 The Journal of Parliamentary Information sessions to be held over a period of three days. I am confident that this Seminar will help reinforce the representative character of parliamentary community in the Commonwealth. Democratic institutions have flourished in India since time immemorial. After Independence, we have adopted this well proven form of governance to fulfill the dreams of our people. As the political nerve center of the largest democracy in the world, the two chambers of our Parliament reflect the sovereign will of the people of India. On it lies the onerous responsibility of transforming mindsets and creating an equitable and inclusive social order free of all forms of discrimination. Friends, our Parliament does not merely legislate, it is an agent of social change. In the session devoted to the theme ‘Parliamentary and Political Scene in India’ the participants will have an insight into the operational dynamics of the Indian polity. The Office of Presiding Officer occupies a key position in parliamentary democracy and is vital for the efficient and systematic transaction of business in the House. This institution represents the collective voice and opinion of the House and therefore remains crucial in maintaining people’s faith in democratic institutions. By performing administrative, judicial, regulatory and supervisory functions, the Presiding Officer not only guides the proceedings but also safeguards the rights and privileges of the House, its Committees and its Members. It is, therefore, imperative to delve into the changing dimensions of the interface between Presiding

  • Talking with Telengana
    RANEN SEN Indian Communist History Revisited Sankar Ray September 26 this year was nostalgic for the veterans among communists including those who used to keep the party card literally close to the chest. They are an endangered species these days. Dr Ranen Sen, one of the three members of the first central committee (1933) of undivided Communist Party of India (CPI) was born on this day in 1909. Other two were Abdul Halim and Somnath Lahiri. Halim Saheb was dropped in 1943 while Lahirida was dropped in 1951. He was suspended for having been one of the main functionaries as a polit bureau member during the disastrous period of ‘Left adventurism” under B T Ranadive who was expelled in 1951 and remained so until 1955. However, Ranenda, who became a polit bureau member in 1952 (remained there until 1956) was never dropped from the CC (later national council, when CC was rechristened as NC) until the party split in 1964. Although politically and ideologically close to the ‘democratic front’(DF)-liners, who later decided to split the CPI and form a new party at the Tenali Congress (coincidentally on the 51st birthday of Jyoti Basu, 8 July 1964), Ranenda remained with the CPI although ‘national front’(NF)-liners used to dominate the party after the split. But even NF-liners revered him as a party-builder. Defending his decision to stay back in CPI, Ranenda said : “Bhupesh Gupta, Sohan Singh Josh (originally belonged to the Ghadar Party-SR) subscribed to the DF line but never endorsed splitting activities and Trotskyite line of Mao and CP of China.

DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J. YOUNG Under the Direction of David McCreery ABSTRACT This is an analysis of Goan identity issues in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries using unconventional sources such as novels, short stories, plays, pamphlets, periodical articles, and internet newspapers. The importance of using literature in this analysis is to present how Goans perceive themselves rather than how the government, the tourist industry, or tourists perceive them. Also included is a discussion of post-colonial issues and how they define Goan identity. Chapters include “Goan Identity: A Concept in Transition,” “Goan Identity: Defined by Language,” and “Goan Identity: The Ancestral Home and Expatriates.” The conclusion is that by making Konkani the official state language, Goans have developed a dual Goan/Indian identity. In addition, as the Goan Diaspora becomes more widespread, Goans continue to define themselves with the concept of building or returning to the ancestral home. INDEX WORDS: Goa, India, Goan identity, Goan Literature, Post-colonialism, Identity issues, Goa History, Portuguese Asia, Official languages, Konkani, Diaspora, The ancestral home, Expatriates DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J.
