Components of psychological wellbeing Pages: 179-181 Kavita (Sai Nath University, Ranchi, Jharkhand) Dalbir Singh Saini (District Social Welfare Officer, Hisar, Haryana) Psychological well-being is about lives going well. It is the combination of feeling good and functioning effectively. Sustainable well-being does not require individuals to feel good all the time; the experience of painful emotions (e.g. disappointment, failure, grief) is a normal part of life, and being able to manage these negative or painful emotions is essential for long-term well-being. Psychological well-being is, however, compromised when negative emotions are extreme or very long lasting and interfere with a person's ability to function in his or her daily life. The present paper reviews the different components of psychological wellbeing. Read more Get Access
Diverse perspectives on the emergence of Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh Pages: 182-184 Ramiz Raja (Department of Political Science, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh) Dalit movement in India and the emergence of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has been explained in different perspectives by different intellectuals, politicians and social activists. Sudha Pai, a JNU professor explains the emergence of BSP as a result of affirmative action and democratization in the 1980s. According to Vivek Kumar the huge army of Dalit employees both in central and state government played an important role in the emergence of BSP. Christophe Jaffrelot considers the emergence of BSP in the Indian politics as a silent revolution as there is a peaceful transfer of power from the upper caste elites to the lower caste groups. Vivek Kumar contests this argument and postulates that the Dalit assertion has always been roaring. He focuses on the development of Dalit assertion mainly through the leadership of BSP. Another dimension to this debate is offered by Kanchan Chandra, who explains the success of BSP in UP (Uttar Pradesh) by applying a theory about the conditions under which 'ethnic parties' are likely to succeed. This paper makes an in depth study of all these theoretical formulations and attempts to identify the areas of conflict and agreement between them. Read more Get Access

Restitution of conjugal rights: A requirement of positive remedy Pages: 223-225 Krishan Kumar Kajal (Department of Law, C.R. Law College, Hisar, Haryana) The Restitution of Conjugal Rights is not a new notion in matrimonial jurisprudence that finds its origin in the Jewish laws. The remedy was not known to Hindu till the British introduced it in the name of social reforms. This matrimonial remedy was made available under the British regime to all communities in India under the general law. The remedy of restitution of conjugal rights is a positive remedy that requires both parties to the marriage to live together and fulfil their matrimonial obligation. This remedy has been misused, abused and exploited. Today it is nothing more than a springboard to other remedies. The non-compliance to the decree of restitution is more ruthless than the remedy itself. The remedy directly affects the right to life, right to privacy and the right to equality and hence unconstitutional. The purpose of this paper is to throw light on the inherent disparities under the Hindu law and the need to do away with this remedy. Read more Get Access

Corruption in government and non government sectors in India Pages: 243-246 Satpal (Independent Scholar, Political Science, Fatehabad, Haryana) Corruption in all societies is as old as the power itself. However, the forms and manifestation of corruption have been continually changing. Almost all the countries in the world today are plagued with the cancer of corruption. However, its nature, volume and dimensions differ largely from country to country and from one environment to another. Corruption in India is one of the major setbacks. It exists from top to bottom level and as a result of this the poor and innocent people are suffering from it. Corruption is damaging our economic growth also. The absence of transparency and accountability in governance and administration and our people's sense of helplessness weaken our democratic process.
