    How Did Indian Congress End British Rule

    The Indian National Congress emerged upon the political landscape in 1885 as the natural culmination of the politicisation and education of an Indian middle class, its nucleus formed from a growing body of English educated professionals and artisans. Although a landmark in the formation of political and national identity on an all-India scale, the resonance of this political organisation in Indian society and its ability to mobilise existing anti-imperialist sentiments is marked by distinct periods in its narrative. Indeed even before the foundation of the Congress, there was an existing body of politically active organisations, such as the Indian Association, pursuing an all-India programme, promoting greater autonomy1. The early composition of the Congress leaders and participants tended to be Anglicized in their personal life and highly successful in their profession, consequently their ambitions of political change reflected these influences2. Prominent among these national issues were the progressive Indianization of the civil services and the army; the dissemination of mass literacy; and the growth of swadeshi industry3. The foundation of its support therefore was echoed by its initial objectives of social reforms, restricted to the urban middle and lower classes in the cities and towns. Such resistance to subjugation was not limited to the realm of expanding political…

    Wronging Rights: Eroding Affirmative Action Analysis

    The constitutional safeguards, programmes, provisions and policy aim to bridge the human development deficits and inter-generational discrimination that Dalits have been subjected to. However, rights won through people’s movements, transformative social reforms’ processes and progressive legislations are easily lost if not backed by programmes and resources, capacitated institutions to deliver the same and a vigilant citizenry to monitor it. There are many challenges which pose a danger to erode the rights and the entitlements scripted in all policies, provisions and programmes, but additionally:…

    The Growth of Regional Parties in India

    The Growth of Regional Parties in India

    The 1967 General Elections brought a historic shift in the trajectory of Indian politics. This year saw the end of all omnipotent Congress and announced the arrival of regional parties in the Indian political landscape. It is in this year that Dravida Munnetra Khagazam (DMK) of Tamil Nadu came to power at the state level and challenged the hegemonic dicta of Congress. It won a commanding I38 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly and 25 seats from the State in the Lok Sabha. This was yet just a beginning; Indian politics was now to embark on an era of coalition government and the politics of regionalism. Trinamul Congress in West Bengal. Rastriya Janata Dal in Bihar, The Communist Party of India (Marxist) and its Left Front Partners in West Bengal, Kerala, and Tripura , TDP in Andhra Pradesh, AGP in Assam, Samajwadi party and BSP in Uttar Pradesh and National Conference and PDP in Jammu & Kashmir are major regional parties today. In fact the presence of regional parties is not surprising in a culturally diverse country such as India. There is no one common man. He is common and identifiable only to a region. The regional political parties are his mouthpiece espousing the cause of their common man. In such circumstances my quest is not merely to describe the manner in which the regional political parties have surfaced as dominant partners in the Indian political culture but also the kind of role that these parties are fulfilling. One of the ways in which the regional parties have impacted the political environment is through the formation of coalition government. This has various implications. The kind of parties that have been accommodated in the national ruling parties, the kind of bargain received, the change in the political strategy, the inclusion of and respect for the representation of the weaker sections, caste politics and the debate between requirement of constitutional…
