Issues and challenges facing RTI act.

Indian Journal of Public Administration, 62(2), 2016(Apr-

Jun): p.270-281.

Right to Information has been hailed as a path-breaking

legislation of recent years. Eleven years of

implementation and the Act is considered to be the best

thing that could happen to good governance. Success

stories abound highlighting the empowerment of the people

in getting their rights and dues. However, the euphoria

surrounding the Right seems to be fading. People are

still filing RTIs, but the wait for a final resolution

seems to be getting longer. Transparency, accountability

of public authorities, reduction in corruption, people's

participation in policy formulation and implementation -

all objectives of the Act, seem to be moving in slow

motion or just going through the motion. The attitude of

all stakeholders towards effective implementation has

lost the initial vigour. Public authorities do not suo

motu disclose information, give out half-baked

information, applicants file appeals and wait for final

resolution of their balance of power is sought to be

shifted in the delivery of services, anti-social elements

are taking advantage either through threats to the query-

raiser, or blackmailing other stakeholders in the system.

In this article, some of the important challenges and

issues being faced in the implementation of the Act have

been discussed. queries as in a proverbial judicial

process. Meanwhile, as the balance of power is sought to

be shifted in the delivery of services, anti-social

elements are taking advantage either through threats to

the query-raiser, or blackmailing other stakeholders in

the system. In this article, some of the important

challenges and issues being faced in the implementation

of the Act have been discussed. - Reproduced.

SECULARISM

2197 Govil, Manish Kumar

Defining secularism: the Indian experience.

Indian Journal of Public Administration, 62(2), 2016(Apr-

The meaning of the term secular when seen in the context

of democratic practices and the affairs of the state

cannot simplistically be non-religious. The argument

regarding the compatibility of secular states with

democratic practices and the fact that some religious

beliefs may undermine the process of democratisation may

require the understanding of the term secularism and the

multi-vocality of various religious traditions. India,

with its pluralistic society and economic

underdevelopment, has been considered as an oddity in the

study of modern democracies as it has been an exception

to many of the prevailing theories regarding the

preconditions, introduction and sustainability of

democracy. India as democracy has now been functioning

successfully there for nearly 70 years with established

institution of democracy both at the Centre and the state

level. But there have been some fault lines. A few of the

arguments put forth to define the existing relationship

between the state and religion have been discussed in the

Indian context and the historical experience to establish

the fact that existing relationship between religion and

democracy may have a positive, negative or neutral effect

on the nature and quality of democracy. - Reproduced.
