 Abstract

From the early 1970s new forms of social mobilisation began in India. They gained a variety of names such as social movement, people's movement, popular movements, socio-political movements etc.[1] These movements emerged and highlighted some of the major issues such as gender and environment. One of the leading analyst and participant in social movements in India, Sanjay Sangvi, identified the major agendas of them as "Movements of landless, unorganised labour in rural and urban areas, adivasis, dalits, displaced people, peasants, urban poor, small entrepreneurs and unemployed youth took up the issues of livelihood, opportunities, dignity and development." Most well known movements in the country are Chipko movement, Save Silent Valley, Narmada BachaoAndolan, Honour for Women National Campaign, KoelKaro, Chhattisgarh MuktiMorcha, JholaAandolan (fighting polythene), Appiko movement, Save Kudremukh, LokSatta Movement, Swadhyay Movement, SwatantraSharad Joshi [1], Karnataka RajyaRaithaSangha [2] These movements largely distanced themselves from political parties, or tried to cut across the ideologies of the political parties. Yet many of them rooted themselves or drew from ideologies of the Mahatma Gandhi, various shades environmentalisms or gender politics, or socialism.

 Abstract

Steel moment resisting frame designed by performance based plastic design are carried out in this study. The design of moment resisting frame is usually governed by drift limits rather than strength because of their high flexibility. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of a 9 story steel moment resisting frame designed according to performance based plastic design with three different target drift limits 1%, 2% and 3%. Seismic analysis in this study has been carried out by non-linear static analysis (pushover analysis). The results of non-linear static analysis and an example of steel moment resisting frame designed by performance based plastic design are presented.

 Abstract

How does governing in coalitions affect coalition parties’ responsiveness to voters? In this article, we seek to understand the relationship between political parties’ participation in multiparty governments and their responsiveness to voters. We argue that the extent to which coalition parties respond to policy priorities of voters is influenced by the divisiveness of policy issues within the cabinet and the ministerial responsibility for policies. To test our hypotheses, we combine data on the issue attention of 55 coalition parties from the Comparative Manifestos Project with data on government composition and data on the policy priorities of voters from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems and various election studies in 45 elections across 16 European countries from 1972 to 2011. Any party may gain majority in the lower house, if not, coalitions are formed by the political parties to gain a majority in the lower house for formation of government. This research study will analyze its nature, challenges and prospects of coalition governments in Indian political process. The significance lies in the study of multi-party system, growth of regionalism and its effect on the pattern of Centre-State relations. Further, there is failure of the national consensus on a parliamentary majority because for three decades the national government was headed by a coalition government or by minority government from 1989 to 2014. From 1952 to 1977 and 1980 to 1989 was Congress dominance.

 Abstract

Social movements mainly take the form of non-institutionalized collective political action which struggle for political and /or social transformation. In India, these movements occurred since past time. The phrase 'movement' is often used differently by different social activists, political leaders and scholars. Some academics use the term 'movement' interchangeably with 'organisation' or 'union'. Other social researchers use it to mean a historical trend or tendency. Some claim to launch movements by issuing press statements on public issues.

 Abstract

To understand regionalism, we need to know various dimensions of the region. Region as a geographical unit, is delimited form each other. Region as a social system, reflects the relation between different human beings and groups. Regions are an organised cooperation in cultural, economic, political or military fields. Region acts as a subject with distinct identity, language, culture and tradition. Regionalism is an ideology and political movement that seeks to advance the causes of regions. As a process it plays role within the nation as well as outside the nation i.e. at international level. At the international level, regionalism refers to transnational cooperation to meet a common goal or to resolve a shared problem or it refers to a group of countries such as-Western Europe, or Southeast Asia, linked by geography, history or economic features. Used in this sense, regionalism refers to attempts to reinforce the links between these countries economic features. The second meaning of the term is regionalism at national level refers to a process in which sub-state actors become increasingly powerful, power devolves from central level to regional governments. These are the regions within country, distinguished in culture, language and other socio-cultural factors.

The question “Is Gandhi relevant today?” can be asked only by those whose souls are enslaved by the thralldom of the world. What breath is to life, Gandhi is to humanity and civilization.In the words of Mary E King,” Gandhi was..... Against racism, against colonialism, against the caste system, for popular democratic participation, against economic exploitation, against the degradation of women, against religious and ethnicsupremacy, As long as there is strife, hostilities, ethinic cleansing, religious unrest, internal conflicts and threats of military occupation, people will turn to Gandhi. His usefulness will not end unless conflict ceases.”

 Abstract

We are proud to be the largest democracy in the world. For more than sixty eighty years we have witnessed the conduct of successful elections, peacefulchanges of government at the Centre and in the States, people exercisingfreedom of expression, movement and religion. At the same time we, quite often,listen complains about prevalent inequalities, injustice or non-fulfillment ofexpectations of certain sections of the society. These people do not feelthemselves participative in the parliamentary democratic process. In India we keep on debating these various aspects of parliamentary democracyand its achievements and challenges. For a better understanding of the same,we discuss this in this paper.

“The present paper aims at reviewing the various developments in Corporate Governance in India. The emergence of new technologies in the era of globalisation and liberalisation entirely changedthe nature of business transactions. By the evolution of business life cycles business transactions became very complex and managing risk became a challenging task for the organisations. Concerns about corporate governance in India were, however, largely triggered by Harshad Mehta stock market scam of 1992 followed by incidents of companies allotting preferential shares to their promoters at deeply discounted prices and the recent scam of sathyam. Good corporate governance became a key word to handle accounting scandals and to mitigate growingconcern about the quality of financial statements. In short Corporate Governance is about promoting corporate fairness, transparency and accountability.”

“This article highlights the status of women in different General Elections. It focuses on the under representation of women in Indian Politics. It is grounded along the election commission’s report on electoral participation and representation of women from 1957 to the recently held general elections in 2014. It offers a detailed image of women’s political participation and representation from being women electorate to voters, from women as candidates to women as representatives in Lok Sabha. It indicates, due to various political and non-political reasons women go on to face democratic deficit in government. The substantial representation of women is missing in proportion to their population. Despite an increase in voting percentage in the recently held assembly and general elections still women represent less as candidates and fewer as women legislators”

 Abstract

Globalization has today become a major sort of debate among academicians, policy makers and NGOs. Its impact is profound. Despite the continuing emphasis on promoting global prosperity and achieving a more “just world,” negative aspects of globalization remain rife in our globe. Poverties, inequalities, injustices, starvations, backwards and marginalization’s are all serious problems many societies are still experiencing. The purpose of this paper is to examine the positive and negative aspects of globalization and realize how one could successfully deal with the challenge it poses. The study shows that though globalization is a process by which capital, goods, services and labor cross national borders, and acquire a transnational character, it is often accompanied by the flow of related lifestyles, tastes, ideas, and even values across boundaries which help reshape local political institutions, cultural patterns and social relations. It also creates new opportunities for many peoples to increase their wealth and enhance their prosperities.
