delivered anenlightening lecturetitled ‘Democracy inOur Time’ on May 15,at the VC’s Conference

all the troubles that itfaces and that it wouldcontinue to face, I thinkdemocracy has come tostay,” he added.

Tracing the birthof democracy, Prof.Beteille said India hasadopted theWestminster Model orthe parliamentarysystem of democracywhose defining featureis that it gives arecognizable face to theOpposition. In theWestminster Model,Opposition is articulatedthrough a system of thepolitical party, Prof.Beteille informed. Hepointed out that theparty system in Indiaacquired its owndistinctive form unlikethose of Britain.

Prof. Beteillealso mentioned the roleof the Congress Party inthe evolution ofdemocracy in India.“Before Independence,the Congress played amajor role in theNationalist Movement.Its principal opponent at

that time was theMuslim League. Andafter Partition it had thewhole scene to itself,”he said. Because of itshistorical role in themovement of NationalIndependence, Prof.Beteille is of the opinionthat the Congress has aunique role as theguardian of democracy.“And even though it mayhave squandered itsheritage, no otherpolitical party in Indiahas that legacy, whichcreates a problem fordemocracy in India,”Prof. Beteille added.“Because democracyinvolves a legitimateopposition and not justany opposition.”

Prof. Beteillealso touched on thetopic of party systems.He said that accordingto political scientiststhere are two types ofparty systems – theparty system of the kindfound in England orUnited States ofAmerica, and the multi-party system of the kindfound in many European

countries like Franceand Germany. Prof.Beteille also drew theattention to a one partysystem of the kind foundin China or the SovietUnion. Of these, Prof.Beteille said he isskeptical of the one partysystem since it does notacknowledge thelegitimacy of dissent.Prof. Beteille furthermentioned the idea of aparty-less democracy,which he does not thinkwould work. “I think inthe end it either dissolvesitself in chaos or itbecomes a tool forauthoritarian objects.”

Coming back tothe Opposition, Prof.Beteille said that iflegitimacy is to be givento the Opposition, onemust also recognize thatthe Opposition need notnecessarily be organizedthrough the partysystem.

Prof. Beteille isof the view that theother way of articulatingdissent is through socialmovements. “The wayto move democracy

forward is throughhaving social movementin the way in which theinterest of the peoplecan be articulatedagainst the government.But he warned againstdepending too much onsocial movements. “Therisk is that the partywhether Congress orBJP is an institution – itslife is longer that the lifeof any individualincluding the person whofounded the politicalparty. The membershave to act with somedegree of responsibilityif were to act as apolitical party.”

Summing up thelecture, Prof. Beteille saidthere is plenty of scopefor improving theoperation of democracy.“I think that theOpposition and politicalparties be a part of that. Ialso think that socialmovements play a partand therefore we havebeen given a distinct formof democracy which hastaken us further awayfrom the WestminsterModel of democracy.”

Democracy in...

“Even if you could live to be 100, it’s really a very short time. So why notspend it undergoing this process of evolution, of opening your mind andheart, connecting with your true nature - rather than getting better and

better at fixing, grasping, freezing, and closing down”.—Anonymous

Mishra, whom hecongratulated for hispioneering work in thefield, that Frankineae andActinorhizal plants havesomething to do withnitrogen fixation which isan important fieldespecially in the contextof the North East. “WhyI say this is because in theNorth East, agriculturalland is very limited.People keep planting inthe same area time andtime again whicheventually leads to thedepletion of soil.” Whichis why, he says we needto put in place such plantsto enrich the soil again.Prof. Myrboh hoped thatthe three-day programmewould further discuss on

this matter.Earlier, Dr. P.

Normand from Lyon,France, gave a briefrecap of the pasti n t e r n a t i o n a lconferences onFrankineae.
