Present Political Scenario
Indian Political Scenario
India was declared a Sovereign free State in the year 1950, and, the patriots who had struggled for this event could, never have visulaised that, after fifty years of that great event, India would be in such a dilapidated political shape as it was, in the year 1998, till now.
The year 1998 presented a spectacular change in the political scenario of the country by outsing the erstwhile century old single political party of the country, the Indian National Congress. This ouster is, on the one side an indication of the disgust people harbour for the party, and, on the other hand, it is indicative of the public’s estimation of the achievements of the party. The long spell of fifty years has brought this political party to such a low level of degradation, that, this reality could not be hidden from the electorate any further.
This of course was a good symptom which showed that, the hitherto blind electorate had begun thinking and reflecting. This in turn meant that, the electorate had now come of age. However, the tragedy of this welcome turn of events was that, the electorate could not wisely turn out one single party to replace the Congress. This has led to an unprecedented and absolute mess in the political arena of the country. The Bhartiya Janta Party has come to power but, with clipped wings and tainted eyes.
It came with so many partners in action that, there can never be a genuine consensus on anything or any point. Each party is, expects its own ‘pound of flesh’, and, in this effort, the very entity of the Government gets lost, and its functioning becomes problematic. No matter how much the B.J.P. may want to undo the evils of yesteryears but, it just can’t as, it has to wait for 18 nods (24 nods at preserved) and in this only, all matters get dissolved and lost. This, in turn brings out a blurred picture of the B.J.P. It is no wonder that strong steps just can not be taken in any sphere, when views differ, targets are varied, and

    Q.1 “Tamas” by Bhisham Sahni outlines the series of events of unrest during 1947 partition when Indians were not only fighting its rulers, the British but also themselves. The instability in politics led to the creation of a Muslim League which stood against the Indian Congress and demanded their own separate nation. However, the divide was not only between these two parties but also within the Indian Congress itself. This divide is explicitly described by Sahni by the example of a district congress committee run by Bakshiji. The first instance when the reader comes face to face with the congregation is during the “prabhat pheri” where the most prominent feature is the atmosphere of the novel- lively yet not because of their devotion to fighting for independence but constant bickering among fellow mates. Aziz, a young activist chastises Bakshiji for being late and the man who “walks in darkness” implicating the ignorance of Bakshiji and his lack of clear-sightedness has resulted in an uncoordinated committee. “Darkness” used to describe the nature of the head of the congregation further implies how poor co-ordination amongst Indians is a result of misguidance or lack of enthusiasm. This point is further proved when Aziz puns at Mehtaji to “piety personified” since he uses his participation in the committee as a medium to increase his insurance sales meaning that self-pursuit is the aim of many activists to which patriotism and love for the country is side-stepped. Ironically, the only member whose heart and soul is dedicated to his country, “Jarnail” is laughed upon at and is asked to deliver soul-stirring patriotic speeches solely for the sake of amusement of other participants.…

    The image of professional baseball has, by and large, been an idyllic and relatively unblemished one from its roots as the national pastime in the mid-1800s until the latter part of the 20th century. Aside from the 1919 Black Sox scandal in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox conspired to cheat, to "fix" the World Series, nothing has rocked the game as much as the use of performance enhancing drugs (PED). Since revelations about players using such substances as steroids and human growth hormones have come to light, the time period stretching from the late 1980s and into the turn of the century has become known as the Steroid Era. Early whispers, rumblings, and rumors of illegal use of PED were proven to be true when, in 2002, Ken Caminiti became the first professional baseball player to admit that he had used steroids; Caminiti had used them for several seasons beginning in 1996, when he was the National League's Most Valuable Player. Soon many observers became suspicious of not only the enormous size of many other players, but also of the astronomical offensive numbers those men were achieving.…

    Some leaders in history are born and destined to enjoy more fame far beyond the reputation of their contemporaries. Shri Biju Patnaik was one such rare personality; He was the brightest luminary. No assessment can do justice to his courage and remarkable valour. Born into an influential and aristocratic family in the year 1916 at Cuttack, he left his rich and comfortable life of home to satisfy his passion to serve the people. He entered politics with a focus on odisha’s economic development, to give its people a life of dignity and free them from poverty and deprivation. He began his political career as a Congressman under the inspiring leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and enjoyed his love and confidence. He served the state as its Chief Minister first time during the year 1961-63. During that period he developed his strategy to revamp the rural economy of Odisha with emphasis on small and cottage industries. He fought and lost elections but was never shaken and always looked to the future with optimism. Though his party won and ruled the state in 1977-80, but he with an intention to build a richer and stronger Odisha, preferred to be involved in the National politics and helped, run the first non-congress National Govt. at the center. It was Odisha’s good fortune that he became the state’s Chief Minister again in 1990. It was a great and decisive political victory for the people of the state. His greatest gift to the nation was the legislative act to reserve 33% of seats for women, not only in the Panchayati Raj Institutions but also in all government jobs. It is worth recapitulating the history of this magnetic personality. Biju Patnaik was a big man with a great mind and the country is yet to appreciate his thoughts and contributions that have shaped the thinking of generations here in the state and in the…

    But the sense of pessimism has been encouraged again and again. Sometimes through the Sikh riots and sometimes through the incidents like Babri Masjid. And horribly enough even with India stepping in the 21st century with a never before economic growth rate elections in India can be easily won by playing the “hindutva” card. Narendra Modi a person who brought so much development to the state of Gujarat was not assured by his hard work but was satisfied with the knowledge of strategic communal politics in order to ensure that he will be called back in the state legislative for the next five years again. In very vivid words it is a matter of shame how the legislature and the politicians have been cheating the common Indian for a prolonged period. Corruption and all other issues are undoubtedly black spots on the nation but compromising with the very principles on which the nation was built is simply unacceptable. More so when the compromise is invited on grounds of humanitarian ethics.…

    The party of the ‘Aam admi’ (Common man), Congress, fielded a Bengali Brahmin, Pranab Mukherjee, as President. The son of a freedom fighter against British colonialism has served the Congress for more than four decades in various ministerial positions. His opponent, P. A. Sangma, a Christian “tribal”2, hails from the state of Meghalaya. The former Labour Minister was supported by the Opposition National Democratic Alliance, and the ruling regional parties Biju Janata Dal from Orissa and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam from Tamil Nadu, on the grounds of being the leader of the Tribal Forum. 22nd July 2012 decided the faith of these two ex-Congressmen. Both through their grit and ambition charted out their lives outside the villages they were born in. Their political journey started in rural constituencies of their home states. Their meteoric rise thereafter inspires awe in many. Disillusionment rankled both politicians, thus leading them to exit the party that was instrumental in getting India its independence. It is here that the similarities between the two men end. The older, Pranab Mukherjee3, was brought back to the folds of his parent party by P.V. Narasimha Rao, India’s Prime Minister between 1991 and 1996, and became a Union Cabinet Minister with…

    Caste has become one of the most formidable element of group formation within political parties in India. The patronage and pecuniary resources available to the political leaders enable them to create a coalition of factions on caste basis, whose leaders are bound to political elites in power in a complex network of personal obligation ties. Each of these leaders had a group of followers tied to him in accordance with the same set of caste principles. The personnel of these castes factions may vary but whatever may be their social composition they demand and to a higher degree receive from their member’s full support. Political parties mobilize caste support in various ways. According to Andre Beteille two kinds of changes seem to be taking place in relation between caste and politics - power shifts from one dominant caste to another and the focus of power shifts from one caste itself to another on caste basis. He maintains that loyalties of castes are exploited in voting. New alliances cutting across castes are also formed. Beteille has also pointed that the political process has a dual effect on the caste system. To the extent that caste and sub-caste loyalties are consistently exploited, the traditional structure is strengthened and to the extent that it leads to new alliance cutting across caste, it loosens the traditional structure. Political parties…

    The present scenario of our political system is on the verge of change. These are the moments when people started thinking about our country, its growth and the performance. The change which our ancestors used to say is knocking the minds of the citizens. This is the perfect moment to boost them up and to make them follow the same stride to make our country free from all the ills. When people think, then it is a half done way to success, success against corruption, success against the unethical human activities, success against the global odds, and success against the mammoth of hindrances.…

    Once Again is a piece of social criticism against Indian politicians/voters and targeted at the average Indian voter. Its purpose is to inform the audience of the propaganda they are subjected to and confront them with them hatred they hold onto, allowing themselves to be manipulated. Inspired by the belief that “the best books… are those that tell you what you know already,” (1984 pg. 208) my creative take a premise that the audience is semi-aware of; the blatant abuse of religious sentiments in order to generate political support (Natarajan, 2012).…

    his evil of Criminalization of Politics calls for special attention of the people because the subject revolves around the vested interests of politicians of all hues; as such the people can never hope that the politicians would take any initiative to rectify this evil. The prevailing trend is spreading like cancer. It is nullifying all the constitutional safeguards of democracy; that is, it is spoiling bureaucracy by making it partial; it thwarts press; and even threatens judiciary; and thus is destroying the foundation of democracy. So the people should wake up at once and force the political parties to mend their ways.The number of political parties in India has been phenomenally increasing. The mushroom growth of political parties is not the result of improvement in…

    More than 50 days have past since Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of our nation. His ‘victory’ was a rather dramatic one – the direct result of his eloquent speeches, catchy slogans, and his penchant to stimulate development and progress. However after the ‘Union Budget 2014’ a rather sceptical notion is taking its toll on the party's momentum. Sceptics like AAP’s Bhagwant Mann are claiming that “Acche din” is an empty promise, an illusion, a lie to the nation’s people. The opposition's deliberate mockery has added fuel to the fire successfully.…
