Environment minister Prakash Javadekar will not have to worry about pressures from alliance partners. But one does not know how much space he is willing to carve out for himself and how much space the government is likely to give him.

[T]he prospect of India without a stable governing coalition-whether established by the Congress Party, by the BJP, or by regional parties supported by either the Congress or the BJP-is not beyond the realm of possibility.

| Summary/Abstract |
When political parties organize, compete and maintain interests at different levels, they bring interconnections both between as well as horizontally across levels. This study suggests that the autonomy of state politics formulation may have to pay greater attention to the federal framework and give more consideration to the role of polity-wide parties. This study uses the autonomy thesis as a heuristic tool and expands the discussion beyond state politics as considered by Yogendra Yadav-Suhas Palshikar. It examines the interface between the rise of the state as the primary unit and the functioning of political parties, especially in a multi-party competitive scenario where parties are forced to enter into coalitions. By situating India and its coalition experiences within a broader literature of comparative politics, the study tries to enrich our understanding about the relationship between federalism, political parties and coalition politics.Government

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the impact of identity politics on gender equality. More specifically it explores the paradoxical and complex relationship of religion and politics in a multi-religious society and the complicated ways in which women's activism has both reinforced and challenged their gender identities. Contrary to the argument that religious politics does not always negate gender equality, the article argues that the Hindu religious politics and women's activism associated with it provides a compelling example of the instrumentalisation of women to accomplish the political goals of the Hindu right. It also examines the approach and strategies of influential political parties, women's organisations and Muslim women's groups towards legal reform and the contested issue of a uniform civil code. Against those who argue that, in the current communal conjuncture, reform within Muslim personal laws or Islamic feminism is the best strategy for enhancing the scope of Muslim women's rights, the article argues that such an approach tends to freeze identities within religious boundaries. It shows how women's and minority rights are used within the politics of religion to sideline the agenda of women's rights.

It needs no revelation that there is widespread consternation within the strategically committed community, the intelligentsia and the media over the growing obsolescence and declining operational capability of the ultimate cutting instrument of national power - the military force structure. Thus in spite of maintaining the third largest military force in the world, there is imposition of only a fractional deterrence upon the perennial adversaries while they keep jabbing hurtfully at rib of the Indian nationhood. The new political leadership is apparently intent on remedying that undesirable situation. Therefore, to turn its rhetoric into action, the NDA government has to acknowledge that there are two distinct aspects to the amelioration of that undesirable stage, and tackled these on priority if its political pronouncements are to gain respectability from the citizenry.

| Summary/Abstract |
The policy debate on manufacturing in India often gets confounded by a poor articulation of its objectives and by a weak rationale for its industrial structure. The 2013 Economic Survey of India put its finger neatly on one of the objectives and a key issue at stake here—the extent and quality of employment1—though the UPA2 government could not implement its own manufacturing policy during its tenure. That a robust manufacturing helps build deep technological capabilities in our society, thereby making the nation strategically strong, escapes much of our policy thinking. Whether the NDA3 government’s “Make in India” plan will change the face of India (a potential that exists) or will it just remain a slogan of intent will depend, to a large extent, on our understanding of the second aspect of the policy confusion in manufacturing—why do we do, what we do and how we do it—the rationale behind the our industrial structure and the resulting competitiveness or lack of it.

| Summary/Abstract |
India is a status quoist power. This is easier to establish in terms of its approach to territory. It appears to have reconciled to the fact that some of its territory is occupied by neighbours Pakistan and China.

| Summary/Abstract |
India’s engagement with its neighbours received a policy reinvigoration after the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government assumed power and announced its ‘neighbourhood first’ policy. The first sign of this policy was visible when Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited all the heads of state of the neighbouring countries for his oath-taking ceremony, on May 26, 2014. India’s interest and engagement with the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) has also intensified in the past few years – from being a reluctant player to driving the regional economic agenda. Unlike in the past, Prime Minister Modi undertook his first foreign visit to Bhutan, followed by visits to Nepal, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Seychelles and Bangladesh, to synergise bilateral relations. India had already intensified its cooperation at the regional and sub-regional levels and the NDA government was proactive in taking these engagements forward. Regional as well as sub-regional cooperation became major vehicles of India’s neighbourhood policy, at the core of which was the development agenda of the present government.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recently concluded Indian parliamentary election—where more than half a billion voters queued up in nearly a million polling booths over 6 weeks—was fought largely on the plank of development. The newly elected Prime Minister, Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), won a decisive majority and his party ran its campaign largely revolving around his personality, and his track record as the Chief Minister of the prosperous state of Gujarat since 2001. Exploiting well the widespread discontent over economic slowdown, inflation and corruption scandals of the previous government under the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), the BJP managed to set the terms of the debate by touting the model of development pursued by Modi in Gujarat as a prototype for the remainder of India.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is one thing that stands out clearly in the otherwise diverse messages of the mandate in different states, it is that BJP has been decisively rejected. Attempts to deepen the communal divide and create an atmosphere of violence were not well received. BJP, the party of the Hindu Right, has lost voters across the country with the exception of Himachal Pradesh and Kanrnataka. The second most significant feature of the verdict is that UPA has returned to power, greatly strengthened and less dependent on most of its earlier allies, including the Left.

| Summary/Abstract |
The parliamentary elections of May 2014 saw an electoral rout of the ruling coalition (United Progressive Alliance or UPA) and especially that of the main partner “Congress” (Indian National Congress or INC). The party that ruled India for most of its post-Independence period was decimated while the party that had little electoral presence at the time of Independence now has an absolute majority. The Modi-led-BJP made “governance” a key issue that played a major role in their victory. With an absolute majority in the parliament, the BJP has an unprecedented opportunity to fulfill the mandate and improve the quality of governance. Will they? What would it take to improve governance in a country like India? The goal of this paper is to try and answer this question.

| Summary/Abstract |
Rising above the controversies that have surrounded him since he became Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi the new Indian Prime Minister has embarked on an ambitious programme of economic reforms at home and of active diplomacy and cultural projection abroad. According to Ramon Blecua, with his background and reputation as a Hindu nationalist, Modi appears to be striving for a careful mix of economic liberalisation and socially inclusive provisions.
