What was jp andolan

His call for a complete revolution to protect democracy during the emergency period in heralded a new era. He devoted his entire life to the welfare of villages and farmers.

His contribution to nation-building will always remain an inspiration for the countrymen. But the CPI M was not fooled by this game for long: in November , concluding that the Sangh was at the centre of the movement, it decided that the party best sit the rest of it out.

The Left could be jettisoned with no love lost, but the relationship between the JP Movement and the Hindu nationalists was another matter. Here, the connection was more organic. It was whilst working on such endeavours that Narayan struck up a friendship with Nanaji Deshmukh, a Jana Sangh leader from Uttar Pradesh who too had dabbled in Bhoodan during the mids. Their comradeship would serve as the isthmus connecting the larger organisations behind them.

If Narayan and Deshmukh were natural allies, it did not mean that the entire leadership of the Sangh Parivar had no reservations about the JP Movement. Since at least the mids Hindu nationalists had been divided on tactics. And here public discourse could be altered by uniting the Congress O , the Swatantra, and the Jana Sangh behind a common platform. In the other camp were the proponents of a more thoroughgoing populism.

The dismal showing of all the conservative parties at the polls between and made their task considerably easier. The Parivar, then, was in need of a strategy more in tune with the dispensation. However, in this strategy, which found expression in a Grand Alliance, failed to contain the rise of Indira Gandhi. Jayaprakash Narayan. The troubles in Gujarat and Bihar offered a way out of the impasse. This interpretation is problematic. BJP is in power due to democratic process and due to any usurpation of power and then holding on it illegally.

If majority of the voters find BJP acceptable, just as they found Congress acceptable once, no one can question their wisdom and can not accuse BJP of any wrong doing, Commitment of RSS to this country cannot be questioned by anybody. Their ideology may not be accepted by communists or so called secular parties but that does not make it political pariah. Its successor Dravidar Kazhagam, which is the merged identity of Self-Respect movement and Justice party, declared that the Independence Day,ie.

DMK party ,which is the political wing of the Dravidar Kazhagam,which was launched on Hey you get irritated by his mustache and not any thing else. Then go and see beard less Rahul,Digivjay singh and Owasi with out mustache and dream about them. With our RSS this country would have gone to gutter and would have broken into thousand pieces and we would have got burned in that fire. Time to growup and realise who is good and who is bad for India….

Hence this reprehensible attempt to label BJP as fascist and a simultaneous attempt at exonerating JP. The hollowness and utopian-ism of the Indian Left was also made visible to the masses. Nevertheless the author and likes have succeeded in telling that hidden ajenda to the public.

Actually the goverments are really working on Ajenda but the point is Neither Author nor His likes are capable of iterating it Publicly. I read earlier comments. They appear to be influenced by the details given in the article. If they have a political agenda let it be.

There is not a single case of abuse of any kind. Instead of criticising RSS others should realise at least now, to think of building grass root cadres. It appears BJP with vikas and viswas in their forefront are going to rule the country for a very long time. Wake up or perish is the advise for those who verbally abuse to pass their time. People will forget such characters very soon. Wait till next general election.

Whatever may be compulsions and merits in JPs view it will be a misreading of facts to ascribe present strength of BJP to that decision alone. If we do so we will not be properly analysing correct reasons for ascending of BJP-Core values in society itself may be changing. Probably it is too early for us to understand this phenomenon or we may not be really willing to do so. Secularism is most used words for vote bank politics. Hindus are considered as second class citizens in India.

Intellectual has succeeded in in creating impression that being hindu is insult. Now leftist are claiming as true Hindus. In this context we hindu have to be United for live with respect. When you want a story and you are against RSS, you spin some material out of sheer imagination. It took 30 years for a party which won two seats in to get elected with absolute majority in JP's call was echoed by Morarji Desai who declared that thousands of students would surround the prime minister's residence in order to restrict her from attending any meetings.

After being jailed during the Emergency for his pivotal role in the JP Movement, Jaitley went on to become the national convener of the Loktantrik Yuva Morcha. While retaining this post, he campaigned for the Janata Party which secured Soon after, the senior lawyer joined the BJP in and the rest is history.
