| Summary/Abstract |
More than 20% of the electricity generated in India is lost to rampant thefts. Drawing data from 28 states of India over a time span of five years (2005–2009), this paper examines the role played by socio-economic and governance factors in determining the extent of electricity thefts in Indian states. Results from the Feasible Generalised Least Squares (FGLS) model demonstrate that lesser corruption, higher state tax to GDP ratio, greater collection efficiency of electricity bills by state utilities, higher share of private installed capacity, lesser poverty, greater literacy and greater income are closely associated with lesser power thefts. A better understanding of the key determinants of thefts in electricity distribution is vital for policy makers for designing policies.

| Summary/Abstract |
The proposition that voters reward incumbent governments that perform well economically is considered received wisdom in many democracies. We examine this hypothesis in India, a developing democracy where scholars have found limited evidence of economic voting. Using a unique state-level panel dataset covering the years 1980–2012, we find that there is no relationship between growth and electoral performance in the aggregate. However, since 2000, there do appear to be increasing electoral returns to governments that deliver higher rates of economic growth. The positive returns to growth are much larger than those to improved law and order, while inflation has no clear impact. The results suggest a significant shift in Indian voter behavior.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article is concerned with the analysis of the human development achievement and improvement indices of Indian states for the time period of 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011. The analysis points out how Indian states have, over time, extensively changed their position in terms of various achievements and improvement index values. There is wide difference in the ranking of the states in terms of achievement and improvement indices. There is non-linearity in the improvement of various dimensions as well as the overall human development. The most striking result is the low improvement of the low-achieving states. This is a cause of serious concern and must be addressed through increasing input allocation and efficient utilization of such inputs. The public sector could also be more strengthened in such states.

| Summary/Abstract |
Before independence, British Indian Foreign Policy was more like a mirror image of British Foreign policy whose prime interest was to safe guard interests of British Empire than Indian interests. Although, India was one of the biggest colonies and leading source of raw materials, and market for the finished British goods, it never got its deserved priority from the British. Also, India was considered a main source of manpower for production and defence forces, but its interests were never addressed in the British Indian Foreign Policy

Foreign Policy basically consists of those principles and objectives that guide both bilateral and multilateral relations of a country with other in the world of politics. These principles and objectives take their shape from the national interest and priorities of the particular country.

| Summary/Abstract |
The visit of Russian foreign minister Mr Sergei Lavrov to India in the first week of April 2021 is a landmark event not only to strengthen bilateral ties between India and Russia, but also to sustain cooperation on regional and global issues. This is evident from the fact that the latest meeting of Lavrov with India’s foreign minister Mr. Jaishankar in New Delhi covered wide range of political, economic, security related issues concerning both the countries in the context of global political changes and Covid Pandemic to rebalance international relations.

| Summary/Abstract |
We argue that two key party system characteristics – the effective number of parties and electoral volatility – have a curvilinear, inverted-U shaped, influence on public goods provision. Rejecting the linear pattern generally assumed in the literature, we contend that optimal governance outcomes will be observed at intermediate levels of party system size and stability. Only under these conditions will the benefits of competition be balanced against the risks of fragmentation. We find support for our arguments by employing new data and estimating panel models of public goods provision in 29 Indian states and territories. We hope that our findings will contribute to understanding how party systems function, particularly those at the subnational level, and will better inform how they can be leveraged for development and good governance. We also hope that they will provide some guidance about the future trajectory of public policy in the Indian states.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this analysis, we examine the relationship between the effective number of parliamentary parties (ENPP) at the state level in India and the initial policy responses among Indian state governments to the COVID-19 pandemic between January and April 2020. We find that by April 2020, Indian states with a relatively lower ENPP adopted more stringent measures to address the spread of the pandemic while states with a higher ENPP adopted less stringent measures. We hypothesize that it may have been more difficult for states with a larger number of parties to quickly adopt mitigation measures early in the pandemic, while it may have been relatively easier for states with a smaller number of parties. We discuss avenues for future research given the findings and the data presented in the paper.

| Summary/Abstract |
Employing decadal data for the period 1971–2011, this article constructs a quality of growth index (QGI) for major Indian states. The index encompasses not only growth and its durability, but also encompasses several relevant social dimensions. These include variables such as stability and diversification of growth as well as institutional quality and social indicators such as life expectancy and literacy rate. The extended period chosen enables us to trace the evolution of the index over a sufficiently long period of time. Several findings stand out. First, the average value of the index is higher in the post-reform period, suggesting that there has been an overall improvement in the quality of growth over time. However, although the BIMAROU states have raised their QGI, they have still lagged behind their peers. Second, it is typically the industrialized states which have witnessed higher QGI. And third, the industrialized states, with improved financial access and better physical infrastructure, which are better placed are those with higher QGI.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the relationship between the fiscal intervention of the government and regional income disparity in 14 major Indian states. The impact of decentralization on the regional disparity of these states is also examined. The findings suggest that both policy measures have reduced the level of regional disparity. This study has also investigated the impacts of policy measures on regional income disparity within the clusters of states of similar income levels. Results suggest that both types of policy interventions have reduced regional disparity in low-income states, whereas only fiscal intervention is found significant in reducing regional disparity in middle-income states. Surprisingly, no relation is found between regional disparity and the policy measures in high-income states.

| Summary/Abstract |
As a country progressively engages in international trade, its factors of production increasingly enter into the export sector, where their return is higher compared to the import-competing sector. At the regional level too, those states which can attune their production structure to international demands earn more from trade than other states, and also grow at a faster rate. A regional openness index has been reconstructed by combining the export and import intensities of the states, ranks of correlation of state production shares, respectively, with tradable production share as suitable weights at the state level. The index is highly influenced by the institutional variation across states in a federal setting. The per capita net state domestic products have been growing in all major states in India during the period 1980–2009, but at different rates, and one of the detrimental factors for this has been regional openness.
