Government and opposition in India / Manor, James   Journal Article
Manor, James Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Interactions between ruling and opposition parties in India have long been sorely neglected by political analysts. This study finds clear contrasts between interactions at national and state levels in this federal system, and further, often marked variations across the 28 states - each of which has its own Westminster-style legislature. Government-opposition relations range from semi-civilized to caustic, although most cases are situated some at distance from those extremes. So, despite a recent confrontation in the Indian Parliament, there are no strong trends towards either deterioration or greater accommodation. This is a study in ambiguity.

Making, Ambiguity and Sustainability of Intercaste Accommodations in Rural India / Manor, James   Journal Article
Manor, James Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In recent years, the increasing refusal by disadvantaged castes, especially Dalits (ex-untouchables), to accept caste hierarchies has increased intercaste tensions and violence in rural India. But intercaste accommodations aimed at avoiding violence have also increased, more sharply than violent incidents. This study explains how accommodations are made, almost always between senior Dalit and ‘higher’ caste leaders. Contrasts and parallels between their calculations and perspectives are examined, along with their views of the painful ambiguities that attend such accommodations. The authority of these senior leaders within their castes is, for the present, crucial to making accommodations sustainable. Changes that undermine their authority may make accommodations more difficult to forge and to sustain, but those changes may also provide a new basis for such agreements.

Odisha landslide buries both national parties: assessing the state and parliamentary elections of 2014 / Manor, James   Article
Manor, James Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In May 2014, a regional party in Odisha, the Biju Janata Dal, defied national trends by thrashing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress Party at both parliamentary and state elections. It offered voters a high-profile regional leader who had radically centralised power and retained the capacity to govern somewhat effectively, even forcefully. It thus countered the appeal of BJP leader Narendra Modi to offer those same things. This analysis examines how this state government – like a few others – was able to withstand the national swing towards the BJP and Modi.

Precarious enterprise? multiple antagonisms during year one of the Modi government / Manor, James   Article
Manor, James Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract During its first year in power (2014–15), the government of Narendra Modi in India showed itself to be a precarious enterprise. The prime minister was beset by multiple antagonisms. He radically centralised power. This has enabled him to get some things done swiftly, but it has weakened him by choking off reliable information flows from below and by sowing discontent among his party and his supporters. An exercise in fiscal decentralisation to the state level in this federal system ran counter to his centralisation, but on close examination, it proved less than generous. His efforts to tackle two problems—bureaucratic paralysis and high-level corruption—contradicted one another. His efforts to transcend the ambiguities which ensnare every prime minister were unrealistic and triggered further discontent among party colleagues. Finally, his handling of religious polarisation became entangled in multiple antagonisms—between the expectations of Hindu nationalists (and his own legacy as a polariser) and his duty to maintain social cohesion; between political gains to be made from polarisation and political costs that attend it; between polarisers who sought to strengthen his hand and those who sought to polarise in order to undermine him.
