Introduction
• Almost every decade of India's history since Independence has been
marked by major disruptions.

• There is one common factor that defines that journey-disruptions.

With unfailing regularity, almost every decade of India's history since
Independence has been marked by major disruptions.

This presentation reflects some of the disruptions that India faced

during its journey from the past to present.
 Article 370, Article 35-A and Citizenship

• Guarantees special status to J&K

• Allows State assembly to make its own
constitution
• Separate set of laws for state residents such as
citizenship, ownership of property, and
fundamental rights
• Citizens from other states cannot purchase
land or property in the state.
 Article 370 and 35-A revoked

Three legislative changes were expected:

1. Abrogation of article 370
2. Annulment of article 35-A
3. Amendment of country’s citizenship law

On 5 August 2019, the Government of

India revoked the special status granted
under Article 370
 Ram Mandir

• BJP remained committed to the idea of building Ram temple in Ayodhya

• Disputed land where ancient Babri Mosque had stood till 6 Dec 1992 before it was
pulled down by a mob of Hindu zealots
• A timeline was set by 5 judge bench for the resolution of Ram Mandir crisis by August
• On 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi,
announced their verdict
 ONE Country one Language
• As the title of this disruption itself explains it, we all can guess which
language is talked about here. It is “HINDI”.
• It is the only language which is supposed to unify the country.
• The Indira Gandhi government successfully tried to implement this
disruption in 1960s but failed.
• The south Indian states are the one who opposes this disruption.
• But the idea of imposing one language on the whole country and
strengthen its unity is defeating the very idea of celebrating diversity
in every respect.
Shift from Parliamentary to presidential democracy

Parliamentary democracy Presidential democracy

• In Parliamentary System, the
political party winning the
majority seats in the parliament
makes the government and elects
a person from among themselves
as the Prime Minister who is the
head of the Government.
This recent change raises the question- Will India become a
presidential democracy in the coming future?
• In the presidential form of
government, the President is the
chief executive, who is directly
elected by the people or by the
members of the electoral
college.
Would Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
Elections happen simultaneously?

• India saw simultaneous lok sabha and rajya sabha elections till 1962
as the tenure of both coincided for 5 years together.

• Post which this did not happen as either the government fell and
dissolved before the tenure ended or early elections happened.
 The recent government is planning to adopt the German
legislation method where the government can fall only if
another alliance is ready to create a government until the end
of tenure, thus ensuring simultaneous lok sabha and rajya
sabha elections.
 BANK PRIVATISATION
• Many Governments in the past have tried out this disruption but all of them
simply failed.
• It started in the late 1990s during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government had
introduced the idea of reducing the government stake to 33% but still
allowing them to function as public sector .
• So his finance Minister came up with the scheme that government will reduce
its stake below 51% but they will treat the banks as public sector banks.
• The recent crisis in the banking sector has again started the thinking of fully
privatising them but the government is in no mood for the same as they have
promised to pump about Rs. 2.11 lakh crore of resources so that these bank
could start lending again and be revived.
 CORPORATION OF INDIAN
AGRICULTURE

CAN INDIAN COMPANIES DO FARMING IN INDIA?

This thought looks to be unacceptable in out country. But it is not that
the sector is completely untouched by the corporate sector. Limited
Experiments which were done by the companies who were engaged in
contract farming were beneficial for both the parties.
This movement will require the land laws to be changed which may face
huge political opposition.
But looking at this sector, there can be said that if not corporate, their is
certainly some need for organised body or bodies to take up farming for
a positive disruption which can be said as the next Green Revolution.
Privatisation of Indian Railways
• Indian Railways has always been reserved for public sector.
• The different policies has kept it under exclusive domain of the state.
• 1991 onwards gradual easing took place in which private sector were allowed to operate in
some part of the Indian railways.
• The private sector got involved in building stations and foreign investments in building
locomotives.
• Indian railway delivers social service to the people of the country.
• The social service has a social cost which is recovered from the railways as freight.
• The railway demands the central government for compensation for the losses it bears.
• The privatisation may bring good days for the Indian railways but may lead to creation of
another private monopoly in the nation.
• Other countries who privatised the railways has not witnessed any major success.
Universal Basic Income

• UBI was mooted by Arvind Subramaniam in the 2017 Economic Survey.

• This allowed people to enjoy right to basic income to cover their needs.
• UBI can be a replacement of the subsidies which are provided by the government.
• UBI cannot be introduced unless other subsidies are phased out as it will be a huge burden on the
government.
• Arun Jaitley said, India is not yet politically mature to understand fundamentally different scheme.
• The political parties have started to introduce UBI to the farmers in their election manifestos.
• The recently formed government has provided Rs 6000 to farmers who have land up to 2 hectors
or 5 acres.
• The recent manifestos of political parties show that maybe time for UBI has in India.
 Dismantling the IAS

• IAS can be scrapped in future.

• Changes in the government’s hiring policies.
• Experimenting with the idea of appointing
experts in the government.
  Changing of Financial year format from
April-March to January-December.
 Need for changing the current financial
year format.
Financial Year  Changing the financial year is an easy
decision to take.

CONCLUSION

• They are the outcome of combination of social, economic and political
factors.

last seven decades.
