General election 2014
The fight for 545 Old chairs:
In what will be one of India's most keenly watched Lok Sabha elections, the only declared prime ministerial candidate is pitted against many more hopefuls.With the congress shying away from naming a nominee for the top post although it is not necessary as per Indian constitution.It forms one of the basic necesscity for voters to know who will rule them after election.As the election champaign is heating up every party is pullling all their strings to deliever better music to gather people.

Irrespective of who becomes India's next prime minister, one man has ruled himself out of the race: incumbent Manmohan Singh.

Rise of the 3rd world:

On February 25, the third front – comprising seven regional and four left-leaning parties – declared itself an “alternative” to the dominance of India’s two main parties: the incumbent Congress and the opposition BJP. .The third front consists of a number of India’s regional big-hitters: Nitish Kumar (chief minister of Bihar), Jayalalitha (chief minister of Tamil Nadu), Naveen Patnaik (chief minister of Odisha) and H.D.D. Gowda, the 11th prime minister of India.
A third front has long been an elusive project, and only once has a non-Congress, non-BJP formation succeeded at the national level. In 1977 Indians voted in the Janata Dal government in protest against the Congress party for Indira’s Gandhi’s declaration of a draconian national emergency. The few other non-Congress and non-BJP governments that came to office since then have either been supported by, or ultimately fell because of, the two main parties.

Hidden ethics of Indian Politics:

Coalition building in India has tended to follow a set sequence: all sides wait to see how the electoral cards fall before jostling to forge alliances and form a government. The audacious declaration of a third front, months before the election, suggests that its members have confidence in the front’s prospects.

The Herald of change:

    Campaigns, elections and foreign relationships are a driving force for every political party. The issue that forms a coalition that is supposed to bind together a party with similar ideologies and identity sometimes is the everything that forces a fractured republic or democracy like happened following WWII in Germany. President Trump’s election, President Marcon’s surprise in France, the uncertainty of the fallout from Brexit, and now the challenges Chancellor Merkel faces in Germany, we must continue to realize that sometimes it is the “silent majority” or the populist that makes a choice.…

    Secularism in India

    • 635 Words

    But the sense of pessimism has been encouraged again and again. Sometimes through the Sikh riots and sometimes through the incidents like Babri Masjid. And horribly enough even with India stepping in the 21st century with a never before economic growth rate elections in India can be easily won by playing the “hindutva” card. Narendra Modi a person who brought so much development to the state of Gujarat was not assured by his hard work but was satisfied with the knowledge of strategic communal politics in order to ensure that he will be called back in the state legislative for the next five years again. In very vivid words it is a matter of shame how the legislature and the politicians have been cheating the common Indian for a prolonged period. Corruption and all other issues are undoubtedly black spots on the nation but compromising with the very principles on which the nation was built is simply unacceptable. More so when the compromise is invited on grounds of humanitarian ethics.…

    CA Election

    As a first time voter, I am pretty much excited and confused about the upcoming CA election. Excited because I am voting for the first time and my single vote would elect someone who would one day draw the future of Nepal. I would want to thank the Election Commission for accepting the proposal from the political parties to extend the registration deadline by a week because it helped me to enroll my name in the list, which grants power to overthrow or elect someone. As a citizen and a voter of the country, this certainly is a proud moment for me. But along with this pride and excitement also is the confusion. Confusion about whom to pass the baton that would one day portray the dreams I carry about this country, confusion about the possibility of the election taking place and confusion whether if I should really participate in this election.…

    subversive pragmatic vision is increasingly challenging some of the key foundations of India’s traditional nationalist and left-of-center foreign policy, diluting the consensus that shaped the policy, and raising new possibilities especially for India’s relations with the United States and global nuclear arms control. This debate between two centrist foreign policy perspectives is not yet settled. The two are described here as ‘‘traditional nationalist’’ and ‘‘pragmatist,’’ with the former representing the established and dominant perspective, and the latter as the emerging challenger.1 Actual Indian policy mostly splits the difference, mouthing traditional nationalist (hereafter referred to as simply nationalist) slogans while following pragmatist prescriptions. One major result has been the widening of political space for closer relations with the United States, even without a stable consensus. These taxonomies are ideal types: it is very unlikely that those characterized as either nationalist or pragmatist would agree with or accept every tenet of these categories. The categorizations are designed to provide an outline of the competing lines of argumentation about Indian foreign policy, rather than identify nationalists or pragmatists per se. It also is important to note that it is difficult right now in India to associate these perspectives with particular political parties, think tanks, or ministries. Thus, these perspectives are individualistic and do not correspond to particular organizations. They do, however, represent the views of important public intellectuals, policy analysts, academics, journalists, diplomats, and government officials.…

    India is the nation where we have quite something to be proud of and to make us flaunt over the world in which one and best of them is the rich and broad legacy of democracy, comparison to others. India has been regarded as the largest functioning democracy in the world and constructed itself to be felt strong in the global economic arena of the world. During one visit to India two-three years ago, British prime minister referred India to be the beacon of democracy to the world. The well developed and fully evolved democracy that we are witnessing here is flourishing throughout the long span of time. It has went through much ups and downs, has shined and diminished but going through these all things somehow it is managing to survive in India till now. These various dilemmas fixed a truly democratic future in India after colonization. The future of the democracy depends totally on the past inherited traditions of the society and the challenges we are facing in the present contemporary India. While discussing all these we have haunted always by a question that how has India managed to remain democratic despite all problematic signs we found in the society? Why not this democratic regime is not affected by the various misfortunes of narrow-minded reaction of different regional and ethnic fundamentalism, freedom fighters movements and the strongholds of illiteracy, poverty, backwardness and the root of all these causes i.e. corruption. If the absence of all these factors is considered as a requirement to the formation of successful democracy, than India would surely provide a miserable and depressing picture of democracy in the world. But the important fact here is that our country is regarded as the country having largest democracy in the world and which make us to think that we have something more reliable and strong thing with us more than these facts which is serving our eyes.…
