3. INTRODUCTION
• Politics in India takes place within the framework of
a constitution.
• India is a federal parliamentary democratic republic in
which the President of India is head of state and the
Prime Minister of India is the head of government.
• India follow the dual polity, i.e. double government
which consists of the union at the centre and states at
the periphery.
• The constitution defines the organization, powers and
limitations of both central and state governments, it is
written, rigid and supreme, i.e. laws of the nation must
conform to it.
5. EXECUTIVE
• The executive is the part of government that has
sole authority and responsibility for the daily
administration of the state. The executive branch
executes or enforces the law. The division of power
into separate branches of government is central to
the idea of the separation of powers.
• The executive officer is not supposed to make laws
(the role of the legislature) or interpret them (the role
of the judiciary). The role of the executive is to
enforce the law as written by the legislature and
interpreted by the judicial system.
6. JUDICIARY
• The Judicial Branch of India is based on the British legal
system. In the Judicial branch there are many courts,
they vary in power and different types of case and their
severity. The highest court of power is the Supreme
court, this court is the last resort. Next in power is the
High court. Then there are the State courts for each
state in India. Lok Adalat is the court for village people
and this is the lowest court.
• At villages panchayat plays an important role to do
justice with people
7. LEGISLATURE
• Parliament consists of a bicameral legislature, the
Lok Sabha (House of the People-the lower house)
and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States-the upper
house). Parliament's principal function is to pass laws
on those matters that the constitution specifies to be
within its jurisdiction. Among its constitutional
powers are approval and removal of members of the
Council of Ministers, amendment of the constitution,
approval of central government finances, and
delimitation of state and union territory boundaries.
9. PRESENT POLITICS
• The alleged battle between Rahul and Modi staged by the media
is one such diversion. It seeks to buzz with new terms which
masquerade as concepts, with rhetoric pretending to be new
experiments..
• My sense of the future tells me that this is a temporary and
desperate politics. It can disrupt the future, masquerade and
mimic it, but it will have to eventually yield to the new politics
and new leaders tentatively feeling their way into the future.
• Occasionally one senses the Aam Aadmi Party camouflaging
itself as an old group. One hopes it treats itself as a hypothesis of
experiments with new forms of protocols, networks, competence
building, new experiments in government, new forays into justice
and equity.
10. YOUTH
• The new generation has a different idea of problem
solving. It does not want to depend only on the electoral
system for a solution. It cannot wait long duration for a
solution. It demands speed. These groups are clear that
solutions have to be institutional, legislative and
transparent.
• They want to see the change they have initiated. They
want to re-visualize cities as service delivery systems.
They are not interested in ideologies. Their sense of
commodities and brands gives them a sense of
materiality of services, the heuristics and systems
required to deliver them. Thus education, science, and
the city are all looked at as delivery systems.
