PROJECT ON HUMUN DEVELOPMENT INDEX
A brief history of india
The story begins on 15 August 1947. Two hundred years of subservience to the British Empire came to an end with the Partition; the violent carving away of British India into Muslim and Hindu-dominated states. On 26 January 1950, the Constitution was adopted, defining India as a sovereign, socialist, secular republic. While shedding British domination, India chose to retain the British two-tiered parliamentary system, made up of a lower house (Lok Sabha) of elected representatives from the states and an upper house (Rajya Sabha) of appointed representatives. India also preserved the British system of common law, in which the Supreme Court is the apex body. Recent elections yielded a hung parliament with the long-ruling Congress party reduced to half its strength in parliament.Many of the coalition partners now in power, were severe critics of the economic reforms initiated by the previous Congress administration.

    In my village, there is no hint of modern India. You cannot have a superpower with 8.5 percent of the richest people in the world having cars, yachts and planes and rest of them not even owning a bicycle. That’s impossible. In a democracy you have to carry everyone with you”. The caste system has only allowed for the benefiting of the elites and has been used as an exploitation system to keep the lower castes where they are, with no power, no voice, and no land. The caste system completely contradicts voting rights and universal suffrage. So, while India may be breaking records for voter turnout in their elections, until the caste system is entirely irradiated from India it will continue to be an indirect source from which leaders perpetuate their rule, and it will not be a complete democratic election until one (wo)man one vote is…

The breakthrough for the HDI was the creation of a single statistic which was to serve as a frame of reference for both social and economic development. The HDI sets a minimum and a maximum for each dimension, called goalposts, and then shows where each country stands in relation to these goalposts, expressed as a value between 0 and 1.…

Since then, however, it has increasingly shared the political stage with the BJP,[146] as well as with powerful regional parties which have often forced the creation of multi-party coalitions at the centre.[147]…
