1. The Indian polity, a democratic diagnosis.

Topic: GS2- Indian polity.

Context:

• • • An opinion article in an Indian newspaper expressed concerns about the emerging prospects of India’s governance.

    • It stated that a parliamentary majority is being used to fashion an autocracy, resembling a presidential form of governance.

Issue:

• • • The replacement of the real president by the prime minister at the inaugural of the new Parliament building was seen as symbolic of this shift.

    • The article discussed the decline in the effective functioning of Parliament as an instrument of scrutiny, accountability, and oversight.

    • Disruptive tactics in opposition and lack of attendance and tardiness towards standing committees were noted.

    • The leadership of the day was criticized for endorsing these practices through silence or lack of participation.

    • The emergence of social media was seen as both complementary and antithetical to the representativeness of Parliament.

    • The article highlighted a design for centralization, personalization, and the creation of an image similar to a ‘Fuehrer or Zaeem.’

    • Administrative devices were used to bring state institutions impacting the electoral process in line.

    • Concerns were raised over the changing character of the Indian polity and its impact on civil servants and the federal balance.

    • Observers abroad have noted the potential impact on India’s experiment with multi-ethnic secular democracy.

    • The article questioned whether the new Parliament building would contribute to a more functional and productive Parliament.

    • Suggestions for enhancing Parliament’s functioning, such as increased working days, Prime Minister’s Question Hour, and more effective committee systems, were not mentioned during the inauguration.

2. Issues behind violence in Manipur are knotty but truth-telling should help

Topic: GS2- governance.

Context:

• • • The Union government has set up a three-member panel to investigate ethnic violence in Manipur.

    • The panel’s terms of reference include examining the causes and spread of the violence and possible dereliction of duty by authorities.

Issue:

• • • The inquiry has the potential to initiate a process of truth-telling and reconciliation among the affected ethnic communities.

    • It is crucial to identify and hold accountable the key actors responsible for the violence to build trust in governance.

    • Despite the presence of paramilitary forces and efforts to prevent violence, distrust between the Meiteis and Kukis remains.

    • Political representatives, especially MLAs from both communities, should play a role in promoting peace and reconciliation.

    • Resolving the underlying differences between the communities requires sustained political dialogue.

    • Contentious issues include the demand for Scheduled Tribe status for Meiteis and affirmative action for “hill-tribes.”

    • Land ownership rights and claims of encroachment have also contributed to tensions.

    • Reconciliation can only succeed if these complex issues are addressed through constitutional solutions.

    • The priority is to end violence, facilitate the return of displaced people, ensure their safety, and hold accountable those responsible for violence.

    • The success of the commission’s work will play a crucial role in achieving these objectives.

3. Seeing India’s energy transition through its States

Topic: GS3- sustainable development.

Context:

• • • India is planning to propose a multiple energy pathways approach at the G20 forum to accommodate diverse contexts and development trajectories of countries.

Issue:

• • • The diversity of India’s states necessitates multiple pathways for its domestic energy transition.

    • State-level actions are crucial for driving the implementation of national energy targets and bridging the gap between national ambitions and state-level implementation.

    • States play a critical role in the energy transition as spheres of implementation, addressing legacy issues, driving policy innovations, and potentially posing roadblocks to national goals.

    • Engaging with diverse state contexts, capabilities, and priorities is essential for effective energy transition planning and execution.

    • Considerations include aligning state targets with national goals, managing renewable energy-enabled load migration, understanding inter-linkages and implications, and addressing resource requirements.

    • Central mandates, state-level steering committees, and regular meetings between central and state energy ministers highlight the importance of engaging with states.

    • A state-level framework is needed to understand plans, actions, and governance processes for energy transition.

    • Such a framework broadens the discourse, promotes transparency and accountability, and ensures stakeholder participation and public legitimacy.

    • Viewing the energy transition through the lens of state preparedness allows for a greater understanding of state-level diversities and enables evidence-based policy choices for an accelerated energy transition.
