jis support for Muslim demand of separate state. Nehrus perceived lack
of support for Hindus in Pakistan and several such prevalent ideologies of
leaders in India didnt go well with originations that supported Hindutva
Ideology.
Some such organisations were Hindu Mahasabha, RSS, Savarkaries
(Supporters of D.V. Savarkar, father of Hindutva Idealogy). These
organisations believed that continuous support for Muslims, and a policy of
Ahimsa will reduce Hindus to a stage that they cannot resists any future
aggression from Muslims.
Hate speeches against Gandhi were prevalent during Godses time. A
speech in ramlila maidan attended by GC Narang (A hindi mahasabha
leader), Jugal Kishore Birla (another mahasabha leader), MS Golwalkar
(RSS Sanghrakshak), denounced governments satanic attitude. A large
part of attendees were west Pakistani refugees, who were also beneficiaries
of the aforementioned organisations.
Godse, in his court trials mentions that by killing Gandhi, he removed a
curse to india, who followed 30 yrs of hare-brained policy, and prevented
extinction of Hinduism.
Godses ideas were not his own, but developed in him as a result of his
exposure to the hate speeches prevalent in his times. Hes a product of
Hindutva Ideology, that went against Ghandi.
In recent times we have sedition laws that prevent extremist ideologies and
speeches spreading. These laws are doing really well, given the high
nationalistic ideologies our citizens possess. All he have to fear now is the
Islamic extremist ideologies spread over internet by Jihadists. A proper
watch by govt. over the spread of hatred by groups is necessary to prevent
undesirable incidents.
3) Data from the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS)
for Maharashtra reveals that just in the month of August, 1,588
children below the age of five died, the majority of them from
tribal pockets and dies due to malnutrition. Examine why
Maharashtra has failed to prevent these deaths and measures it
should take to address this issue. (200 Words)
Ans)
The deaths of children in Maharashtras tribal pockets are a result of
conglomeration of administrative neglect, political egoism, lack of funding,
and govt.s adoption of short term relief solution instead of long term
sustainable solutions.
The economy driven growth of civilian side and the deprivation of same on
the military side on several account combined with Civil Service control
of military than civil control of military is creating a divide between
military and civilian. The growing contempt of military personnel being a
cause for concern among civilians is legitimate, given the large size and
strengths of Indian military.
Developments on civilian side
1. The rapid growth in Indian economy has given a massive boost to
direct beneficiaries, the civilians in their standard of living. Increase
of jobs in service sector and the transition of economy from
agriculture directly to service oriented bypassing a step in the middle
has given an enormous boost to the economy. This is in line with 1991
reforms of LPG (liberalisation privatisation globalisation).
2. As a result, a job in military over normal job has become less
glamorous and lost its status.
3. Civilian bureaucrats play a vital role in policy making, compared to
those in military brass.
4. An increase in wages of certain status of living in civilian side would
create a demand for the same in civilian files and ranks.
Development on military side
1. Militarys resentment goes back to 1951 when military leaders
expressed a deep displeasure against the role of civil bureaucrats.
2. The military has rankings pyramid with a large base. That means
several Jawans retire at lower ranks and savings. There were also
demands for increase in salaries of JCOs and 2/3 star generals. Even
the lower levels of the hierarchy feel that their bosses are paid less.
This was once seen in police too. Generally, this leads to lack of
enthusiasm in the higher hierarchies. This would result in improper
functioning.
3. Jawans retire at a younger age, without any proper training to sustain
a life in civil society. Military should also work in imparting necessary
training before they retire young Jawans.
4. The divide between civil and military bureaucracy has deepened and
penetrated to the lower levels of hierarchy in the military.
5. Military was also allowed beyond its limits like in the case of Armed
Forces Special Powers Act. This may create atmosphere of rebellion
by military.
On the bright side, Indian military is very large and diverse. They are
provided with more benefits in service stage than most civil jobs are
provided. The cost of living is also relatively less. Military should make
reforms to train young Jawans in non-combat traits, and stop fanning the
dis-contempt. The polity should develop amicable relationship with
military brass. This is necessary to create harmony between military
service, and civil society. In long term military should become an integral
part of Indian population.
5) October 2, 2016 marks the second anniversary of the Swachh Bharat
Mission (SBM). Critically evaluate performance of the scheme in meeting
its objectives. (200 Words)
Ans)
Swachh Bharat mission started by Narendra Modi govt. has an important
goal of eliminating open defecation by 2019. This however is producing
mixed results. Prima facie, it may appear that the mission is working, from
all the activity that goes on in social media. But, the mission lacks
accountability, and awareness among several parts of the nation.
Accountability
1. The mission lacks proper accountability and feedback mechanism to
assess its success. Swachh Survekshan report released by the
ministry of Drinking water and sanitation is the only report available.
2. Even that report is deemed not credible by many due to its
inappropriate survey mechanisms which used uncomfortable
questioning methodologies.
3. The survey also lacks assessment of each individual household.
4. Accountability Initiative released a budget brief tracking SBM
allocations, which mentions a rise in SBM allocations tripled since its
inception. Most of it is going towards construction of toilets.
Other factors
1. Spending on awareness campaigns reduced from 3% of total
expenditure to 1% in an year of its inception.
