  • A Dynasty Returns to Rule Bihar
    A Dynasty Returns to Rule Bihar Govind Bhattacharjee1 The Statesman November 24, 2015 With the resounding defeat of NDA in Bihar elections, the outraged feelings of secular liberals of our country have at last been assuaged. The talk of growing intolerance has disappeared almost overnight, and no more awards are being returned by the eminent recipients of various national awards. Just as the motor-mouths in BPJ have stopped issuing daily vitriolic statements condemning the slaughterers of gau- mata and their perceived sympathisers, the fervor of others in a matching tit-for-tat demonstration of the consumption of her meat in public also seems to have evaporated, reminding one of the Rubaiyat-I-Omar- Khayyam, ‘I came like water and like wind I go.’ We all can now breathe a great sigh of relief – India is no longer intolerant and communal. It has again become a benevolent, vibrant and secular democracy as it has always been. As Mr. Jay Panda, an MP from Odisha, wrote, perceptions do matter and it was no coincidence that the narrative of rising intolerance always seemed to peak around the elections, steered mostly by the non-vernacular media that is a safe sanctuary for our elites and liberals, despite the fact that on an average, two communal incidents had occurred per day during 2011-13 before NDA had come to power. Intolerance is perhaps embedded in Indian psyche since the beginning of time - what was the caste system but intolerance against humanity itself, against the very notion that all men are born equal? Many commentators had pointed out that one had never heard of so much talk about intolerance during the countless communal riots that had happened in this country since independence, during Sikh riots in 1984, Babri Masjid in 1992 or Godhra and Gujrat in 2002, even if we ignore the imposition of Emergency of 1977, and all that had followed in its wake including the compulsory sterilisation of Muslims, as a temporary aberration.

In response to this, Rajya Sabha Chairman recently expelled Janata Dal (United) leaders Sharad Yadav and Ali Anwar Ansari from membership of the Upper House after finding them guilty of defection. BASICS OF ANTI-DEFECTION LAW Before defining anti-defection law, we should understand the meaning of defection. When an elected representative joins another party without resigning his present party for benefits, it is called defection. Thus a defector is the one who is elected from one party and enjoys power in another party. The word defection is also called as “Floor Crossing” in UK and “Carpet Crossing” in Nigeria. In India, the term used for this is “Defection”. Defection is commonly known as “Horse Trading”. Defectors are also called “Fence Sitters” or “Turn Coats”. Historical Background Immediately following Independence, there was a period of stability in the Centre and the States that were mostly ruled by the Congress Party. However, sooner this euphoria of India’s Independence and the spirit of patriotism fuelled by the freedom struggle got over.

  • Muslim Politics and the 2020 Bihar Election
    TIF - Muslim politics and the 2020 Bihar Election JULIEN LEVESQUE December 4, 2020 Asaduddin Owaisi with the newly elected AIMIM MLAs from Bihar | AIMIM (Facebook) The story of the Muslim vote in Bihar is not the triumph of the AIMIM, but the strong desire of the Muslim voter in both majority and minority areas across the state to express herself against the BJP and its allies. In the final outcome of the Bihar assembly elections, what drew attention to some of the successful Muslim candidates was the fact that the All India Muslim Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) won five seats in the north- eastern Seemanchal region, where Muslims form about half of the population (from 77.5% in Jokihat to 38% in Araria). However, the AIMIM’s MLAs represent less than a third of the 19 Muslims who were elected to the assembly this year. This shows that there is more to Muslim political participation in Bihar than the AIMIM’s breakthrough. This article offers a typology of the forms of political dynamics among Muslims in Bihar — the basic idea being that Muslim political dynamics are different in minority and majority areas. Page 1 www.TheIndiaForum.in December 4, 2020 Muslim (majority) politics: The AIMIM’s foray in Seemanchal When looking at Muslim political participation in Bihar, one of the interesting characteristics of the state is that it includes both Muslim minority and majority (or near-majority) areas. This leads to two distinct political dynamics. In areas where they are not in a majority, Muslims seem subject to a kind of minority syndrome and thus more concerned with security than with collective assertion.
