Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - Region: South Asia, grade: 1,1, University College Cork (Department of Government), course: GV 4403 - Dynamics of State Politics, language: English, abstract: The Indian state of Punjab is mentioned mostly for the secessionist activities of its Sikh majority, the assassination of Indira Ghandi marking their inglorious peak in 1984. But despite strong Sikh nationalism, Punjab's sub-political system is comparatively weak. While the region is well off in comparison to other Indian states, a number of political and economic problems persist. By looking at Punjab's political history and the evolution of Indian federalism, I assess the degree to which these problems can be attributed to flaws in the federal design. In my view, they result from three factors: deliberate constitutional arrangements, especially regarding revenues, over-complexity and underdevelopment of local politics, and the political implications of Punjab's Sikh heritage.
