General election 2014
The fight for 545 Old chairs:
In what will be one of India's most keenly watched Lok Sabha elections, the only declared prime ministerial candidate is pitted against many more hopefuls.With the congress shying away from naming a nominee for the top post although it is not necessary as per Indian constitution.It forms one of the basic necesscity for voters to know who will rule them after election.As the election champaign is heating up every party is pullling all their strings to deliever better music to gather people.

Irrespective of who becomes India's next prime minister, one man has ruled himself out of the race: incumbent Manmohan Singh.

Rise of the 3rd world:

On February 25, the third front – comprising seven regional and four left-leaning parties – declared itself an “alternative” to the dominance of India’s two main parties: the incumbent Congress and the opposition BJP. .The third front consists of a number of India’s regional big-hitters: Nitish Kumar (chief minister of Bihar), Jayalalitha (chief minister of Tamil Nadu), Naveen Patnaik (chief minister of Odisha) and H.D.D. Gowda, the 11th prime minister of India.
A third front has long been an elusive project, and only once has a non-Congress, non-BJP formation succeeded at the national level. In 1977 Indians voted in the Janata Dal government in protest against the Congress party for Indira’s Gandhi’s declaration of a draconian national emergency. The few other non-Congress and non-BJP governments that came to office since then have either been supported by, or ultimately fell because of, the two main parties.

Hidden ethics of Indian Politics:

Coalition building in India has tended to follow a set sequence: all sides wait to see how the electoral cards fall before jostling to forge alliances and form a government. The audacious declaration of a third front, months before the election, suggests that its members have confidence in the front’s prospects.

    Campaigns, elections and foreign relationships are a driving force for every political party. The issue that forms a coalition that is supposed to bind together a party with similar ideologies and identity sometimes is the everything that forces a fractured republic or democracy like happened following WWII in Germany. President Trump’s election, President Marcon’s surprise in France, the uncertainty of the fallout from Brexit, and now the challenges Chancellor Merkel faces in Germany, we must continue to realize that sometimes it is the “silent majority” or the populist that makes a choice.…

    The challenges of castism, communalism and religious fundamentalism, involving separatism and violence in India, are the major threats to our secular polity. They weaken the working and stability of our secular federal system and militate against the basic principles governing our national life and providing meaning to our new identity. Our national movement was the biggest and the most widespread anti-imperialist movement in world history, because it was a movement of all patriotic elements drawn from the diverse regions, language groups, religious communities, castes, and tribes, urban and rural segments. Inter-communal and inter-caste tensions and violence over the years have disturbed national peace and order. In recent years there have been recurrent and increasing number of communal riots, caste carriages and linguistic animosities. This disruptive element should be suppressed with firm step if India is to emerge as a demo critic secular polity.…

    In a large democracy like India, smaller parties always have a place and crucial role to play. Besides, the local aspirations of the people have often been forgotten by national parties. So, the local and regional parties have taken advantage of their grievances and bargained hard to get fair representation of local needs.…

    subversive pragmatic vision is increasingly challenging some of the key foundations of India’s traditional nationalist and left-of-center foreign policy, diluting the consensus that shaped the policy, and raising new possibilities especially for India’s relations with the United States and global nuclear arms control. This debate between two centrist foreign policy perspectives is not yet settled. The two are described here as ‘‘traditional nationalist’’ and ‘‘pragmatist,’’ with the former representing the established and dominant perspective, and the latter as the emerging challenger.1 Actual Indian policy mostly splits the difference, mouthing traditional nationalist (hereafter referred to as simply nationalist) slogans while following pragmatist prescriptions. One major result has been the widening of political space for closer relations with the United States, even without a stable consensus. These taxonomies are ideal types: it is very unlikely that those characterized as either nationalist or pragmatist would agree with or accept every tenet of these categories. The categorizations are designed to provide an outline of the competing lines of argumentation about Indian foreign policy, rather than identify nationalists or pragmatists per se. It also is important to note that it is difficult right now in India to associate these perspectives with particular political parties, think tanks, or ministries. Thus, these perspectives are individualistic and do not correspond to particular organizations. They do, however, represent the views of important public intellectuals, policy analysts, academics, journalists, diplomats, and government officials.…

    On the other hand, in Indian there are a number of opposition parties constantly quarreling among themselves. This is the greatest weakness of Indian democracy. In India there is no strong, united and healthy opposition. There are various reasons for it. No industrial revolution has taken place in this country. The result is that the working class is not politically conscious and, therefore, it is disunited and weak.…

    CA Election

    As a first time voter, I am pretty much excited and confused about the upcoming CA election. Excited because I am voting for the first time and my single vote would elect someone who would one day draw the future of Nepal. I would want to thank the Election Commission for accepting the proposal from the political parties to extend the registration deadline by a week because it helped me to enroll my name in the list, which grants power to overthrow or elect someone. As a citizen and a voter of the country, this certainly is a proud moment for me. But along with this pride and excitement also is the confusion. Confusion about whom to pass the baton that would one day portray the dreams I carry about this country, confusion about the possibility of the election taking place and confusion whether if I should really participate in this election.…

    Thereafter this paper analyses which factors play a role in shaping policy towards forced migrants in India. The first area of inquiry is the role of political parties and whether they have an active impact on the coming about of refugee policies. One argument why political parties could play a role was given above by Money (1999) that showed that politicians are responsive to wishes of the electorate, which again is directly affected by influxes of refugees. As an incentive to be voted into office, political parties can therefore use promises of restriction in refugee and immigration policies.…

    Communal Voilence in India

    • 34454 Words
    • 138 Pages

    Communalism has always been a problem in India due to the presence of many religious communities. During many periods throughout history, especially after the Delhi Sultanate, there have been clashes between members of different communities. Some have looked upon the failure of the Indian National Congress to form coalition ministries in 1937 as the turning point in relations between Hindus and Muslims in India. Others claim it was 1928, when the all parties’ conference rejected separate electorates whereas still others believe it was the formation of the Muslim league in 1906. However, major communal issues began with the advent of the British Raj in India and the British policy of divide and rule. Also, the uneven economic and cultural development of the different communities was an important factor in the rise of communalism. The foundation of the Muslim league and reactions of Hindu political organizations to their foundation forever cemented communal politics in India. The demand for Pakistan and collapse of the non-cooperation movement etched communalism in India.…

    [pic][pic]Main opposition party Bhartiya Janata Party was left down and out after the 2009 polls. BJP's arch enemy is not Congress but BJP itself. It's leaders have failed to capitalize on core issues of price rise and corruption against the Congress. They should have learned from how Congress and some smaller parties have been able to successfully use the anti-minority tag against the BJP for over two decades now. BJP has also lost a lot of mass appeal leaders over the years. Most popular elader in india Atal Behari Vajpayee has now retired from active politics. Charasmatic leader and face of modern India, Pramod Mahajan was killed in a tragic incident. Stalwarts like Govindacharya and Jaswant Singh were thrown out. Prime Ministerial candidate Murli Manohar Joshi has been made to sit on the sidelines with no influence on national level politics. L K Advani is close to retirement years and firebrand Sushma Swaraj hasn't proved to be a winner yet. That leaves the party with only one leader of mass…
