In this episode celebrating one year of the Ganatantra, Sarayu and Alok talk about the problems with police in India - why there's low trust in then, why they're failing at law and order and investigation functions and why there have been almost no serious attempts at reform.

As we head towards the end of 2019, Sarayu and Alok discuss the General elections and State Assembly elections of the year and what they told us about the state of politics in India. We use the various insights given to us by the experts who joined us over this year. Think of this as an analysis episode that builds on what we have learnt over the year in speaking to our guests and researching for this episode.

CAA, NRC ಪೌರತ್ವದ ತಿದ್ದುಪಡಿಕೆಯ ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಹಿನ್ನಲೆ, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಕಾನೂನಿನ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿ ನಡಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೋತ್ತರ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಂವಾದ, ಗಣತಂತ್ರ ಪಾದಕಾಸ್ಟಿನ ನಿರೂಪಕರಾದ ಅಲೋಕ್ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನ ಕುಮಾರ್ (ವಿಧಿ ಸೆಂಟರ್ ಫಾರ್ ಲೀಗಲ್ ಪಾಲಿಸಿ) ಹಾಗು ಡಾ. ಸರಯೂ ನಾಟರಾಜನ್ (ಸಂಸ್ಥಾಪಕರು, ಆಪ್ತಿ ಇನ್ಸ್ಟಿಟ್ಯೂಟ್)ನಡೆಸಿಕೊಟ್ಟಿರುವರು ಸುನೀಲ್ ಆರ್. A discussion explainer about the CAA and NRC - the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Registry of Citizens - including a brief history of the matter, and the problems with them in constitutional, legal and execution context; by the hosts of the Ganatantra podcast Alok Prasanna Kumar (Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy) and Dr. Sarayu Natarajan (founder, Aapti Institute. Presented by Suneel Raghavendra. #CAA #NRC #India #Constitution #Secularism #Hindu #Muslim #Kannada #Citizenship #Supreme #Court #Parliament #BJP #Protests #Amendment #Act #Police brutality

We're releasing this special episode of Ganatantra today to talk about the recently passed Citizenship Amendment Act, fears over a proposed all India National Register of Citizens and the government's response to it through internet shutdowns and imposition of Section 144. In this episode we try to explain why the CAA is problematic whether or not it's linked to NRC, why the NRC will be an all round disaster however it's implemented and how our colonial laws allow govts to gag peaceful protests.

Alok and Sarayu discuss the big political events of 2019 - Article 370 in Kashmir, the Supreme court judgment on Ayodhya and the CAA/NRC - and examine their political implications. References are made to relevant episodes and material from previous episodes.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr Andrew Whitehead to frame the debate over Article 370's abrogation in the context of Kashmir's complicated history. We look at the circumstances of Kashmir's entry into the Indian Union and why the provision exists as it does. At the same time, the reactions around the repeal of Article 370 and the downgrading of J&K to a Union Territory has already elicited a range of reactions in India and elsewhere. We end this episode with a look at what lies ahead for the region

Over the last six months we have discussed the macro of Indian politics, addressing large themes and looking at the politics at State level. In this episode, the last before we take a short hiatus, we go into the micro of India’s politics where we talk about Sarayu’s doctoral thesis on how people’s voting choices in an urban setting may be determined more by a very specific type of service delivery on the part of politicians rather than larger questions of ideology, caste or national concerns.

In this episode, we talk about the institutional tug-of-war that has taken place between the judiciary and the political executive over who controls the procedure to appoint judges to the High Courts and the Supreme Court. In this episode we try to unpack why governments have been concerned about exercising some sort of control over the process and why we are presently stuck in an unacceptable situation where almost no one is happy with the way judges are being appointed.

The NDA in Bihar faced anti-incumbency at both the State and Union levels when it went to the polls in 2019. Its stunning performance in the elections, improving on its performance from 2014 suggests that the alliance was able to in fact benefit from pro-incumbency in favour of Narendra Modi and possibly, Nitish Kumar. Just how was this achieved and what happened to Bihar's famed caste calculus? We are joined by Parth MN, a freelance journalist who covered the State of Bihar (among other "Hindi belt" states) extensively before the elections, to talk about why Bihar voted the way it did.

With the Bharatiya Janata Party and the National Democratic Alliance managing to almost repeat their 2014 performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, from the looks of it the Bahujan Samaj Party and Samajwadi Party failed to stitch up an effective alliance to counter them. Even though issues of agricultural distress, jobs, and law and order featured prominently in discussions about the state, somehow the "Gathbandhan" failed to capitalise on it to reduce the BJP's tally by much. In this episode, we are joined by veteran journalist and editor Hard News, Sanjay Kapoor to make sense of the way in which UP voted in 2019.

Political institutions, be the elected assemblies or political parties have not had the presence of women in their ranks, and not in senior levels. Is that too sweeping a statement? How does one parse presence, representation and voice for women in an electoral democracy? To discuss this, we are joined by Dr Carole Spary, co-author (with Dr. Shirin Rai) of Performing Representation (2018), which is a commentary on women in Indian politics, to talk about how to think about women in electoral politics, and whether, some parties are better able to incorporate women into their fold.

Even though the Bharatiya Janata Party managed to cross the half-way mark for the second successive time in the 2019 elections, the coalition era of India's politics is well and truly entrenched, arising partly from the high degree of fragmentation in the Indian party system. Parties spend enormous amounts of time and energy in working out the minute details of pre-poll alliances, and are driven y a range of factors - the network brought by the alliance partner, the local caste dynamics, and concerns about perception. We're joined by Dr. Christiane Andersen to talk about the findings in her doctoral work which explores this question and offers some surprising results on what makes parties chose each other in a pre-poll alliance.

The National Democratic Alliance managed to repeat its 2014 election performance in Maharashtra winning 41 seats; the United Progressive Alliance, despite the alliance with the NCP did worse than 2014. This, in a state which has seen farmer mobilisations and caste based agitation (by Marathas and Dalits, but for different reasons) needs to be unpacked. In this episode, Sarthak Bagchi, Assistant Professor at Ahmedabad University joins us to talk about how the Bharatiya Janata Party- Shiv Sena alliance managed to hold on in the state through careful incorporation of disparate caste groups, the importance of entrenched networks and the role of turncoats, and the impact of the Bahujan Vanchit Aghadi and MIM alliance on Dalit-Bahujan politics, and what lies ahead in the Assembly elections for Maharashtra later this year.

The results of the 2019 elections have shown that brand and personal messaging on the part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi played a large role in the massive victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Going forward, social media platforms, both established ones such as Twitter and Facebook, and newer entrants such as Tik Tok and Sharechat, will play a key role in political messaging and election campaigns. In this episode we're joined by Dr Joyojeet Pal, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan to explain how individual politicians use social media to build their personal brands with voters and citizens, and how political parties' messaging reflects this.

Contrary to popular perception, Rajasthan is a diverse state which features everything from well irrigated agricultural regions to deserts, large urban centres, to a significant tribal belt along the border with Gujarat. It was also the state where it was possibly the "Modi wave" began in 2013 leading to the eventual clean sweep of the State by the Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2014 elections. In that context, what should we make of the Congress' victory in the Vidhan Sabha elections in 2018? Will the State vote in the same manner in the Centre as it did for the State or are their reasons to believe that the vote will be different this time? How do local political economies play into the electoral calculus? We are joined by Roshan Kishore, Data & Political Economy Editor at Hindustan Times to look at what the data tells us about the State and what we might expect going ahead.

As parts of Assam and the North Eastern states of India go to the polls we take this opportunity to discuss some of the issues which have caused much discussion, debate and anxiety in the region. Specifically the implementation of the National Register of Citizens in Assam and the proposed introduction of the Citizenship Amendment Bill which aims to give accelerated citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Muslim majority countries around India. We are joined by Dr Suan to understand the background of the issue, why it has come to the fore at this time and what it means for the politics of not just Assam but the rest of India as well.

India's newest state goes to the polls tomorrow in the first phase of polls alongside its "parent" state. Though Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were once the same state, their political trajectories have been very different and likewise the socio - economic concerns. In this episode we are joined by KK Kailash to discuss the evolution of politics in the two states, attempting to understand the policies of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, the appeal of Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena and the difference between "regional" and "regionalist" parties.

Starting this week we hope to discuss important themes and issues that might inform how voters choose and how parties reach out to voters in the upcoming elections. Before each phase of election, we will pick one state going to the polls and break down the political issues and trends in that state. Each episode will feature an expert who has studied the state for decades to offer in depth insight on the state we're discussing. In this introductory episode, we break down the major issues that have come up in surveys and conversations with voters and why. What are the economic issues on voters' minds and why? Will national security concerns have a bearing? These are some of the questions we hope to address here. Alongside, the issue of a Universal Basic Income has also entered the conversation in the run up to the elections. We are joined by Astha Kapoor to make sense of the UBI and promises of political parties in this respect.

Concerns about land and land rights have been key political issues from the beginning of the republic. Even as India urbanizes, these issues have not receded but taken new forms and new dimensions. Issues of land acquisition and redistribution, and forest rights have prompted mobilization in the recent past. How do we understand these movements and what are peoples relationships with land? To answer these questions and more, we have independent journalist Raksha Kumar join us for a discussion on these issues, talking about her reportage and field experience in these matters.

What is the landscape of social media in India? How are political parties using social media to cement narratives and organise voters? What are different types of media? And what is different from broadcast media? In this episode, we talk to Venkat Ananth, Senior Assistant Editor at the Economic Times to unpack these questions. Venkat is based out of Bengaluru and writes in-depth stories on technology and policy. He puts into context the increasing use of social media by political parties, and what it means for the upcoming elections, and for our polity as a whole.

Does promoting violence give political parties in India electoral gains? Steven Wilkinson's book "Votes and Violence: Electoral Competition and Ethnic Riots in India" seems to suggest so, looking at electoral data. While Wilkinson looks primarily at ethnic riots, political violence is expressed in other methods as well, for the same ends of polarization but at a lesser "cost". In this episode, Sarayu and Alok unpack how political violence works in India and why the absence of large scale communal riots does not necessarily indicate social harmony.

How can we understand how to understand Indian politics? In this debut episode, we (Alok and Sarayu) talk about what this podcast will be about - we explore how and why politics is not just about elections (but also what happens in between), how politics is not just about intrigue and personalities, and why it is important to look at the big picture. We also explore how policies that drive change can be political and what the Government is trying to do with such policies. We will tell you a bit about ourselves and the focus of this podcast, what future episodes hold and what you can look forward to on this podcast.

The Ganatantra podcast is about politics in India, but steering clear of intrigue and personalities, and the everyday news cycle.
