IMPACT AND ROLE OF INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS IN THE POLITICS OF JAMMU & KASHMIR. |
Author : Shabnum Nabi |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Congress has played a significant role in the politics of the state even when it did nothave its independent unit operating within the state. Its contribution in secularisation of politicswithin the state has proved very decisive especially during 1947 partition. In Post 1947 it playeda very significant role in shaping the politics both in positive as well as in its negativedimensions. Congress also played a very vital role in granting special constitutional position andabrogating the same. It has a very paradoxical role in both of promoting and undermining the democratic functioning within the state. While as on the one hand it showed magnanimity byinviting Sheikh Abdullah to form government in 1975 at the cost itself losing power. It is generally believed that at times party’s policy was very much undemocratic towards thefunctioning of the state institutions. The paper further argues that this undemocratic interference has been very immediate cause of the breakdown of the main institutions of the state. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :India is among the most diverse societies in the world. It has people from all themajor religions in the world—Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains andZoroastrians (Parsis). When India gained independence in1947, the political leadership and theframers of the constitution took note of this diversity, and they deliberated on a framework thatwould provide for a unified but culturally diverse state. The issue of minorities has become animportant part of political discourse since eemergence of nation states and the prevalence ofthe concept of popular sovereignty. The rise of nationalism has given rise to the concept that thepolitical boundaries of a nation should conform to the national characteristics of the peopleliving within them. Problems of Minorities are multiple in nature, Racial, Religious, Ethnic,Linguistic and other minorities are subject to some or the other problems everywhere. |

ROLE OF CH DEVI LAL IN THE EMPOWERMENT OF PANCHAYATI RAJ IN HARYANA |
Author : Meenu and Saroj Goyal |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : The Constitution visualizes panchayats as institutions of self-governance. However, giving due consideration to the federal structure of our polity, most of the financial powers and authorities to be endowed on panchayats have been left at the discretion of concerned state legislatures. Consequently, the powers and functions vested in PRIs vary from state to state. These provisions combine representative and direct democracy into a synergy and are expected to result in an extension and deepening of democracy in India. Hence, panchayats have journeyed from an institution within the culture of India to attain constitutional status. Haryana State came into existence on 1st November, 1966 and the Punjab Gram Panchayat Act, 1952 was made applicable to the PRIs in Haryana. Pursuant to the 73rd Constitutional amendment in 1992, the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 was framed which came into force from April 22, 1994. Devi Lal emerged as a leader of farmers. During his two tenures as chief minister of Haryana he made several decisions benefiting farmers and rural people. |
