	Manas: History and Politics, Sonia Gandhi
		Her aversion to politics has been described by Tariq Ali, who recounts that Sonia is said to have stated that she would have rather seen her children beg than enter into the maelstrom of Indian political life.
		Since the Indian constitution, moreover, does not preclude people who have acquired citizenship by naturalization from holding the highest offices in the land, Sonia’s entry into politics became the pretext for offering the suggestion that a constitutional amendment would be required.
		Whatever Sonia Gandhi’s eventual political fortunes, her own political presence is not calculated to breathe fresh life into Indian politics, though it may well be the training ground for the next generation of Nehrus.

		In every Indian state and union territory or pradesh, there is a Pradesh Congress Committee, which is the provincial unit of the party, responsible for directing political campaigns at local and state levels and assisting the campaigns for Parliamentary constituencies.

	Indian Politics Since the Formation of the UPA Government - Ashwini Chawala
		Indian politics in the last one year: from the shock defeat of the previous NDA government, to the present UPA government completing more than a year in office ('surviving somehow', as some put it), Indian politics has undergone significant changes.
		Indian politics at present shows that coalition politics is indispensable, with the need to maintain a consensus among allies the key to holding together a string of political parties, so diverse in their ideologies and policies, sometimes even opposing one another in the assembly elections.
		Ensuring a political consensus is the mantra of Indian politics in the 21st century.

	Krish On Politics
		This disapproval is lapped up by many Indian Hindus because it seems to rhyme with their own theories of ‘scientific Hinduism’, which posits logic and mysticism as two sides of the same coin.
		Their argument is that he calls Indian Hindus to be irrational and it is a racist description.
		Moral of the story: as long as cricket and politics remain two sides of the same coin, you will be left craning your neck to catch a glimpse of blue in the sea of white.

	CLOWNIFICATION OF INDIAN POLITICS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A stage has come in Indian politics when elections have become a big joke; political parties and leaders are seen as entertainers; and political rallies, meetings etc. provide comic entertainment to all and sundry.
		Anybody entering politics did so at a great personal cost and hence, he was held in great regard and no questions were raised about his capabilities, talent and qualifications.
		Whether it be the Congress or BJP or any other Indian political party, the fact is that without any exceptions each of them is a collection of such rabble-rousers, entertainers and their sycophants.

	Left-Right Debate Series:Part I: The Defining Ethos of Indian Politics–Krish On Politics
		Indian politics after Independence has to be seen in the context of the national struggle for freedom.
		The Indian freedom struggle was marked by few characteristics that ingrained a certain ethos or spirit that has continued for more than the past half a century though interrupted intermittently- most powerfully in the six years under the shadow of the mushroom cloud that rose up in 1998.
		indian nationalism, or the formation of its ethos is an ongoing process and i object to endorsement of the left’s own version of what indian nationalist ethos ought to be as the nation’s ethos.

	Indian politics
		Now the same political players who put an end to the previous Lok Sabha are in the electoral fray with a one-point programme to capture power by hook or crook.
		No party is talking about principles and the economic problems of the people, though only at the end of January all political leaders irrespective of their political affiliation howled for five days in a special session of the Parliament, shedding crocodile tears about the need of upholding principles in ideology and personal conduct in politics.
		Indian politicians who jump on the liberalisation bandwagon are thus taking the country down a destructive path.

	UK Indymedia - Communists, Leftists Defy Indian Politics of Liberal Economics
		Indian foreign policy accordingly is still committed to her traditional solidarity with the world’s national liberation movements.
		However the Indian independence advocates of all political spectrum, with the communist and leftist third mainstream political movement in the forefront, are now pondering for how long New Delhi could resist the realistic outcome of the interaction between her globalization – oriented liberal economics and her pragmatic foreign policy.
		Indian communists are very well aware of their historical responsibility to preempt the potential alignment of their country’s non-aligned foreign policy; they are careful to maintain their ideological and international solidarity relations with their comrades worldwide as well as with the national liberation movements, in particular the Palestinian national struggle.

	Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan
		Nevertheless, there have been times when the machinations of Indian politics have left Indian Muslims seething, and their faith in democracy as a weapon to vote political parties in or out of power has been eroded and tested.
		One reason for the rapid rise of the BJP as a political outfit in the 1990s was due to Hindus being disillusioned by the Congress's supposed "pseudo-secular" politics that appeared soft on Muslims and pampered them.
		Indeed, it is believed that even aggrieved Indian Muslims do not become terrorists, imbued as they are by the deep ethos of tolerance in India as well as political parties vying for their attention.

	Today's Indian politics (Dr.Abdul Ruff Colachal) \| Alternative News Network (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Although religion, caste and money dominate Indian "secular" politics, anti-Muslimism, Mosque,anti-Islamism and anti-Pakistanism have guided the special policies of the country so that domestic Muslims are kept under constant “check” by denying what is legitimately their due in national development.
		One finds the appalling the efforts of the Indian media to promote the agenda of the policy makers in New Delhi and other state capitals to kick the Muslims as hard as it is possible with actions of nepotism, vengeance and diverting the national attention to the so-called terrorism.
		But the election reversals or victories don't necessarily reflect the political undercurrents in elections and the popular votes as such cannot be taken for their acceptance of Left support for the Congress-led government at the Centre.

		Dynastic politics, large scale political corruption, the increased entry of criminal elements in politics, the consequent fall of the Parliament and the ineffectiveness of the Executive and the rising judicial intervention etc.
		Indian economy, luckily, is on the upswing thanks to a combination of several factors, global as well as domestic factors.

		But over the last five to 10 years, Indian country has become increasingly engaged in the American political process as more tribal members realize how much is at stake.
		Diamond accuses Bush of bringing a "political suit" against the Tigua to appeal to conservative, religious-right voters in east Texas who see gaming as an evil that must be stamped out.
		Unless tribes wage an effective outreach campaign to enroll thousands of young voters and push people to get to the polls, the Indian vote may not be a significant factor in the 2000 elections.

	proXsa: politics: Nuclear Politics: The Cultural Politics of Indian Nuclearism
		Writing to Clinton and other political leaders, the Indian Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, pointed to the "deteriorating security environment" in South Asia, and the aggressive designs of its two principal neighbors, China and Pakistan, as providing India with a sufficient warrant for seeking to acquire nuclear deterrence.
		The political party over which Vajpayee presides, which draws some of its membership from other political associations that were implicated in the assassination of Gandhi fifty years ago and which have ever been the ardent champions of Hindu ascendancy, has finally removed the specter of Gandhi which has been haunting India's modernizing elites.
		Indians have never been able to live down the taunt of "effeminacy", and those who know of the cultural nuances of South Asian history are aware that some Indians imagine Pakistani Muslims as a meat-eating, virile, robust, and militaristic people.

	Communalism and casteism in electoral politics
		Provision for reservation to certain number of seats for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in parliament and state assemblies as well as in government jobs and its gradual extension after every ten years were viewed by a section of population as an attempt to create a permanent division in the society on caste lines.
		Similarly, the politics of majority versus minority played by the political rulers was another attempt to divide the country on the basis of religion.
		Our political leaders who swear in the name of Indian constitution have forgotten its spirit and basic features and are making continued efforts to capture political power by dividing the country on the basis of caste, religion, language, sect and region.

	The Great Indian Mutiny » Politics
		It is an irony that while all three political combines have chosen to field minority candidates which is creditable, it is also sad that not one of the three could rise above their Muslim myopia.
		Even going by the Left’s criteria of “distinguished non political” personality, there were no Fali Nariman or Charles Corrrea or Montek Singh Ahluwalia on any one’s radar screen, in other words, even if one were to go by the stated preference of the UPA constituents to have a minority in the Vice President’s chair.
		The illiterate bunch of indians when they fight can be forgiven but idiots like you should be hanged in a stadium for misguiding and fuelling communal thoughts among fellow Indians.
