Politics of Preference: India, United States, and South Africa
Minorities, based on whatever criteria linguistic, religious, ethnic, tribal, racial, or otherwise‘share a distinctive contextual and social experience.

Coalition Politics in India: 2004–2009
It is posited here that the coalition imperative of holding the alliances together just to keep in office leads to behavior that is not altogether ethically acceptable. This is not to say that all coalitions are bad by definition; they are not. The issue is: how many partners and what the minimum understanding among them are ideal to run the government? It is suggested that a large and unprincipled coalition on the one hand would debilitate a gov…

Developments in Indian Federalism: 2005–2007
The subject matter of this paper, in general, is federalism in India. Three recent instances of the impact of Article 356—the ‘Emergency Provisions’—are analyzed to study two questions. How is federalism affected when different political parties are in power in the States and at the federal level, and does the current coalition government's experience help or hinder federalism? As to the first question, the two States of Jharkhand and Bihar, with…
Regime Corruption in India
A great deal of research has been done on corruption in India in the transactional sense where money changes hands in anticipation of favours, or for favours already rendered. However, not much attention is paid to the more insidious form of corruption known as regime corruption. Defining a ‘regime’ as the entire political and constitutive system, this article focuses on regime corruption in India where politicians use, or abuse, the political, l…
The 2004 general election in India and its aftermath
In early 2004 India confirmed that coalition governments are the staple for sometime to come. This article examines the events leading to the general election and thereafter. It contends that there are several forces that will tax the new United Progressive Alliance led by the Congress Party which itself is ridden with many internal squabbles. Among the coalition partners, the Communist Party of India, which tends to be ideological in making its …

The author provides a brief rationale for affirmative action, describes the policy initiatives and the politics of preference, and presents an assessment followed by some concluding remarks
Corruption in India: Control measures and consequences
Much has been written on corruption in the Third World. Studying the phenomenon of transactional corruption, however, is fraught with many shortcomings. The insidious corruption of subverting the regimes or abusing the constitution for political or partisan gain is paid little attention. This article analyses corruption in India within its social, cultural, and political contexts. The workings of the various anti‐corruption measures are also exam…

Policy of Preference: Lessons from India, the United States, and South Africa
Has the sanguine public policy of preference turned out to be a political soccer game? Has it been a victim of ideological fights? Can it undo the past? In India, it has become a tool of competitive populism. In the United States, it has been subjected to the ideological positioning of the Supreme Court and with all types of backlash, the policy appears to be in the doldrums. In South Africa, it is turned on its head with the majority enjoying pr…

The Indian Union and Emergency Powers
Although the constitution of India envisages a federal form of government, its evolution in practice over the years, along with several of its provisions, threatens its definition and disrupts its functioning. This article in particular deals with the position of the Governor and with Emergency Powers. It also analyzes two court decisions on the dismissal of the duly elected state governments of Karnataka in 1989 and Madhya Pradesh in 1992. In bo…

India's Federalism under Stress
The hallmark of a federal form, A.V. Dicey wrote some 20 years ago, is that the people desire union, and must not desire unity. 1 If in fact they were to unite, it would no longer be a federal but a unitary government. Thus, two seemingly contradictory forces are involved: the desire of federating units for national unity and their desire to retain individual independence. While India attempted to carve out a federal form of government, the empha…
Small MPA Programs and Naspaa Accreditation: Refutation of Cleary's Study Finding
Cleary's Hypothesis 4 read thus: Programs with fewer students are less likely to be accredited than are larger His evidence, he claims, supported this hypothesis. While I do not have his questions pertaining to this hypothesis, his own conclusion is not only misleading but also a dampener to small programs. Empirical evidence proves the contrary, and it can easily support the hypothesis that the size of a program has little to do with success in …
