This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÿArvind Kejriwal, the founder of the common man politics, is true to be called an uncommon man, who came into the active politics not with a big bang but slowly, steadily and firmly not to rule over the people but on their hearts and to teach the real meaning of the democracy. He is not a common man since childhood but taken birth in a common family and lived very commonly but acted so uncommonly to achieve milestone awards like Raman Magsaysay in so early age. The achievement in the Indian politics which is jumbled with a lot of hassles and dangers that the most of us do not dare to tread in it and call it "the last refuge of a scoundrel", "A job of Dirty People" and many more dirty words. But it is Arvind Kejriwal who has disproved these myths joining politics and opening the doors for a common man to enter into it. Donation of his prize money to an NGO, PCRF, a Delhi-based NGO that works for just, transparent, accountable and participatory governance had already shown the glimpse of the goal of Arvind Kejriwal to fight against corruption, not to become a CM. "Parivartan", uses of Right to Information Act in many corruption cases, participation in "Jan Lokpal Bill Andolan with Anna Hazare", are the activities he used to eradicate the corruption earlier. He established the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2012 to crush the solid armor of the corrupt politics and the result is on everyone's mouth at the end of 2013. He is the personality who hasn't crossed forty five years of his life but his benchmark activities, rushed the pens of more than fifty years old, from all over the world, to write for him. He is in ÿreality the real hero who realized all the real means to eradicate the corruption, must be a real inspiration for the generations to come.
Download or read book Shaping Policy in India written by Rajesh Chakrabarti and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How effective is the Indian polity in making laws and policies to address changing ground realities? How do its gears work? Which stakeholder groups are more successful in bringing about policy change, through what methods, and in what contexts? Seeking to answer these questions, Shaping Policy in India takes a close look at nine landmark Indian laws and legislative attempts to reveal the sociopolitical process of policy formulation in the world’s largest democracy. Offering in-depth accounts of the evolution of these nine major legislations, this book interrogates the suitability of existing political theories to explain the policy development process in an emerging economy like India. It covers recent events in the 1999–2014 period that have underlined the role of non-government players in law-making in India, as well as long-standing movements like right to information, right to education, and food security. Case studies have been used to assess the complexity against the relief of existing political theories, invariably developed in the West and to identify gaps in current political theory in understanding the nature of issue-based political movements, advocacy, and activism. The book then takes a few initial steps towards suggesting a paradigm based on complexity theory that may better serve to illuminate this critical part of the political process.

Book excerpt: The last one-and-a-half years in India have been defined by the anti-graft agitation led by Anna Hazare. His key lieutenant, Arvind Kejriwal, has played a central role in the movement. In 2012, as it became clear that the political establishment was not going to accede to the main demand of the movement - to pass the Lokpal Bill. Team Anna demanded the setting up of a Special Investigative Team to probe corrupt politicians. On 25 July 2012, Kejriwal, along with two of his colleagues and Anna Hazare, sat on a fast to press this demand. This book, which serves as a manifesto for the movement going forward, gives practical suggestions as to what the ordinary citizen, the opinion makers and the political establishment in India can do to provide a political alternative, or to achieve true swaraj (self-rule). The author's central point is that power must shift from New Delhi and the state capitals to the village councils and the town communities, so that people can be directly empowered to take decisions about their own lives. A must-read for anyone with a dream to leave behind a better India for the next generation.

Download or read book Joothan written by Omprakash Valmiki and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Omprakash Valmiki describes his life as an untouchable, or Dalit, in the newly independent India of the 1950s. "Joothan" refers to scraps of food left on a plate, destined for the garbage or animals. India's untouchables have been forced to accept and eat joothan for centuries, and the word encapsulates the pain, humiliation, and poverty of a community forced to live at the bottom of India's social pyramid. Although untouchability was abolished in 1949, Dalits continued to face discrimination, economic deprivation, violence, and ridicule. Valmiki shares his heroic struggle to survive a preordained life of perpetual physical and mental persecution and his transformation into a speaking subject under the influence of the great Dalit political leader, B. R. Ambedkar. A document of the long-silenced and long-denied sufferings of the Dalits, Joothan is a major contribution to the archives of Dalit history and a manifesto for the revolutionary transformation of society and human consciousness.
