Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on politics and society in India, this book explores new areas enmeshed in the complex social, economic and political processes in the country. Linking the structural characteristics with the broader sociological context, the book emphasizes the strong influence of sociological issues on politics, such as social milieu shaping and the articulation of the political in day-to-day events.

Download or read book Making India Work written by William Nanda Bissell and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2010-08-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a nation that has one of the highest growth rates in the world, India is plagued by poverty and corruption. Sixty years after Independence, India accounts for around 36 per cent of the world’s poor. The deepening fault lines between the haves and the have-nots have given rise to skewed development and widespread discontent. William Nanda Bissell, managing director of the successful Fabindia chain, believes India’s poverty is a direct result of its poor management by ruling elites who have mastered the art of winning elections but have no interest in the deeper issues of governance. He argues that economic development that consumes large amounts of natural resources and generates enormous pollution is not a luxury available to countries that are beginning their development now. Instead, he proposes a radical new paradigm for development that delinks consumption from quality of life while strengthening the natural environment in the process. The central themes of Making India Work echo the ideas and beliefs that underpin the Constitution of India; but they venture beyond the hackneyed phrases of development to focus on strategies which can, Bissell believes, end poverty in India in five years. Hard-hitting and provocative, this book is a result of Bissell’s journeys across rural and urban India, offering unique solutions to the challenges confronting its people.

Download or read book Making Politics Work for Development written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments fail to provide the public goods needed for development when its leaders knowingly and deliberately ignore sound technical advice or are unable to follow it, despite the best of intentions, because of political constraints. This report focuses on two forces—citizen engagement and transparency—that hold the key to solving government failures by shaping how political markets function. Citizens are not only queueing at voting booths, but are also taking to the streets and using diverse media to pressure, sanction and select the leaders who wield power within government, including by entering as contenders for leadership. This political engagement can function in highly nuanced ways within the same formal institutional context and across the political spectrum, from autocracies to democracies. Unhealthy political engagement, when leaders are selected and sanctioned on the basis of their provision of private benefits rather than public goods, gives rise to government failures. The solutions to these failures lie in fostering healthy political engagement within any institutional context, and not in circumventing or suppressing it. Transparency, which is citizen access to publicly available information about the actions of those in government, and the consequences of these actions, can play a crucial role by nourishing political engagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Book Of This Kind Is, At The Very Least, A Useful Chronicle Of The Jammu And Kashmir Elections, 2002,' Says J.M. Lyngdoh In His Preface. It Is A Modest Prelude To His Account Of A Landmark Event. The 2002 Assembly Elections In Jammu And Kashmir Were Proposed To Be Held Against Near Impossible Odds-A Volatile Situation Along The Loc With Pakistan, Stepped Up Militant Attacks Within The State, And Threats To Candidates That Disrupted Normal Election Processes. To Add To The Logistics Of Security Was The Task Of Updating Electoral Rolls-All 3,51,850 Pages Of Them-In Urdu. And At The Heart Of It All Was The Ordinary Kashmiri'S Cynicism About Any Elections Conducted In The State Being Free And Fair, Based On Their Experiences In The Past. At Stake, Therefore, Was The Credibility Of The Election Commission, And The Democratic Process Itself. Despite All The Doubts, The Outcome Was An Election Which Was Acknowledged Fair, Even By A Vigilant Media That Had Been Keeping A Close Watch On Events. In His Understated Yet Compelling Style, J.M. Lyngdoh Recounts How It Was Done, And Explains The Complex Circumstances Surrounding The History Of Elections In The State. In Telling The Riveting Story, Chronicle Of An Impossible Election Also Gives A Ringside View Of The Functioning Of The Election Commission, One Of The Great Democratic Institutions Of The Country, And How It Has Evolved As A Guardian Of Fair Play In Elections. It Is A Story That Every Voter Should Know.

Download or read book Adivasis Migrants and the State in India written by Jagannath Ambagudia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the contested relationship between Adivasis or the indigenous peoples, migrants and the state in India. It delves into the nature and dynamics of competition and resource conflicts between the Adivasis and the migrants. Drawing on the ground experiences of the Dandakaranya Project – when Bengali migrants from erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) were rehabilitated in eastern and central India – the author traces the connection between resource scarcity and the emergence of Naxalite politics in the region in tandem with the key role played by the state. He critically examines the way in which conflicts between these groups emerged and interacted, were shaped and realised through acts and agencies of various kinds, as well as their socio-economic, cultural and political implications. The book explores the contexts and reasons that have led to the dispossession, deprivation and marginalisation of Adivasis. Through rich empirical data, this book presents an in-depth analysis of a contemporary crisis. It will be useful to scholars and researchers of political studies, South Asian politics, conflict studies, political sociology, cultural studies, sociology and social anthropology.
Download or read book Election Commission of India written by Ujjwal Kumar Singh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the constitutional body that conducts elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has emerged as a trusted institution within the shared space of democracy in India. This process has, however, been a fraught one because of contestation over the ECI’s constitutional responsibility and the power of Parliament to make laws to govern electoral matters. This comprehensive monograph discusses the history of the ECI through a study of the measures it has adopted to ensure certainty of procedures in order to maintain the democratic uncertainty of electoral outcome. In this context, innovations such as the Model Code of Conduct have enhanced the rule-making powers of the ECI. Going beyond the ECI’s design and performance framework, Singh and Roy argue that changes in the nature of electoral contests and domination of political regimes have made the task of preserving electoral integrity and assuring its deliberative content a challenging one.
