(Online Course) GS Concepts : Mordern Indian History - Reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire Posted: 06 Jul 2012 04:33 AM PDT Subject : Modern Indian History Chapter : India in The Eighteenth Century Topic: Reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire Question : Critically explain the reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire? Answer: The traditional historiography held the weak successors and incompetent commanders as being responsible for the decline of the Mughal Empire. Sir J. N. Sarkar understood the revolts by the Marathas, Jats and Sikhs against the background of the religious bigotry of Aurangzeb. However, the reasons are not as simple as the one stated above. While some problems were created under Aurangzeb's rule, some were inbuilt in the Mughal system of administration and only heightened under Aurangzeb who had to face more than enough share of problems. read more © 2012 www.upscportal.com Study Kits for IAS Mains 2012.

(Online Course) GS Concepts : Mordern Indian History - Battle of Buxar (1764) and its Impact Posted: 06 Jul 2012 04:23 AM PDT Subject : Modern Indian History Chapter : Rise of The Regional Powers Topic: Battle of Buxar (1764) and its Impact In 1763 Mir Kasim fled from Bengal and formed an alliance with the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II and Shuja-ud-daula of Awadh. However, in Battle of Buxar in 1764, the combined forces were defeated and Treaty of Allahabad was 'signed in 1765 In accordance with the treaty Shah Alam II granted the diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to the Company. This grant meant that the Company could collect the revenues from the province. Importance of this battle- Before the grant of diwani, the English used to bring bullion to trade with India The balance of trade was in the favour of India But after gaining the diwani rights, the English bought Indian goods from the revenues collected from the province of Bengal and then exported them Due to this the balance of trade no longer favoured India but led to greater exploitation of the country by the English. The Battle of Buxar had  important political consequences for India. read more © 2012 www.upscportal.com Study Kits for IAS Mains 2012. Books for Civil Services Examinations Get Your Dream Job.

(Online Course) Essay Writing Skills Improvement Programme : Judicial Activism and Indian Democracy (2004) Posted: 05 Jul 2012 05:03 AM PDT Judicial Activism and Indian Democracy (2004) Introduction Democracy is a form of government where people surrender some of their rights to a small elite body who are elected by people to rule over themselves. This elite body or the public representatives make law for the betterment of people. Once elected the public representatives remain all powerful till the end of the term by constitutional provision or otherwise because the constitution does not provide "call back" power to the people. The assumed principle is that these public representatives should make laws for the benefit of the people. The loophole in our administration is that it is not very transparent and popular participation is bare minimum. The prescribed methods of control on government have been largely unsuccessful. So in such a situation a vacuum is created in governance i.e. who shall see the validity of a law. The judiciary as such and by principle cannot act unless an aggrieved party does not knock its door. Hence this vacuum is substantial. As per the theory of "Power vacuum filling" some organ has to extend its influence and it is only natural for judiciary to extend its influence in the sphere. Many argue that it is against the principle of democracy. May be it is true. But there is a widening gap between the principle of democracy and the essence of democracy. Sometimes the hegemonic growth of the form and procedure of democracy become so vast that they make the spirit of democracy in danger. Now it is important to decide what is more important the procedure and principles of democracy like the legislative supremacy or the spirit of democracy i.e. welfare of people. The principle and procedure may be a means to an end but the end is always the spirit of democracy. So if means are abridged to attain the ends then democracy will be more successful than anything else. Judiciary under the veil of activism serves as a watch dog for preserving this basic spirit of democracy. Meaning Judicial activism, like many catchwords, has acquired so many different meanings as to obscure more than it reveals. But at the same time it cannot be discarded as an intellectual void for the vagueness of the definition of the word for at the heart it speaks about the survival of law. Abandonment of this word not being a viable option, clarification needed as to what judicial activism is. Judicial activism is different from the judicial review or other process of jurisdiction in the sense that under the gamut of judicial review the judiciary can extend its influence to the spheres of executive and the legislative. Judicial activism simply means a pro-active judiciary which does no limit itself to the interpretation of law only but also sees if the law affects people adversely. The great contribution of judicial activism in India has been to provide a safety valve and a hope that justice is not beyond reach. read more © 2012 www.upscportal.com Study Kits for IAS Mains 2012.

(Magazine) Yojana Magazine: Issue July 2012 Posted: 05 Jul 2012 03:11 AM PDT Yojana Magazine: Issue July 2012 Monsoons are that time of the year that is eagerly awaited by all. Bringing respite from the scorching heat, the monsoon rains usher in welcome relief. Every summer, southern Asia, especially India is drenched by rain that comes from moist air masses that move in from the Indian Ocean. These rains, and the air masses that bring them are known as monsoons. The monsoon or rainy season lasting from June to September is dominated by the humid South West Monsoon that sweeps across the country in early June, first hitting the State of Kerala. The South West Monsoon is generally expected to begin in early June and end by September. Around September the northern land mass of the Indian sub-continent begins to cool off rapidly. Cold wind sweeps down from the Himalayas and the India-Gangetic Plain towards the vast spans of the Indian Ocean, South of the Deccan peninsula, because of the heat that prevails over the Indian Ocean and its surrounding atmosphere. This is known as the North East Monsoon or Retreating Monsoon. read more © 2012 www.upscportal.com Study Kits for IAS Mains 2012. Books for Civil Services Examinations Get Your Dream Job.
