4. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
Alternative titles: BJP; Indian People’s Party
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), English Indian People’s Party, pro-Hindu political
party of postindependence India. The party has enjoyed broad support among
members of the higher castes and in northern India. It has attempted to attract
support from lower castes, particularly through the appointment of several lower-
caste members to prominent party positions.
The BJP traces its roots to the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS; Indian People’s
Association), which was established in 1951 as the political wing of the pro-Hindu
group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS; “National Volunteers Corps”) by
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. The BJS advocated the rebuilding of India in
accordance with Hindu culture and called for the formation of a strong unified
state.
In 1967 the BJS gained a substantial foothold in the Hindi-speaking regions of
northern India. Ten years later the party, led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, joined three
other political parties to form the Janata Party and took over the reins of
government. Plagued by factionalism and internal disputes, however, the
government collapsed in July 1979. The BJP was formally established in 1980,
following a split by dissidents within the Janata coalition, whose leaders wanted
to prohibit elected BJS officials from participating in the RSS. (Critics of the RSS
have consistently accused it of political and religious extremism, particularly
because it was one of its members who assassinated Mohandas Gandhi.) The
BJS subsequently reorganized itself as the BJP under the leadership of
Vajpayee, Lal Krishan Advani, and Murali Manohar Joshi.
The BJP advocated hindutva (“Hindu-ness”), an ideology that sought to define
Indian culture in terms of Hindu values, and it was highly critical of the secular
policies and practices of theIndian National Congress (Congress Party). The BJP
began to have electoral success in 1989, when it capitalized on anti-Muslim
feeling by calling for the erection of a Hindu temple in an area
in Ayodhya considered sacred by Hindus but at that time occupied by the Babri

5. Masjid (Mosque of Bābur). By 1991 the BJP had considerably increased its
political appeal, capturing 117 seats in the Lok Sabha (lower chamber of the
Indian parliament) and taking power in four states.
The demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992 by organizations seen to
be associated with the BJP caused a major backlash against the party. The
mosque’s destruction also led to violence throughout the country that left more
than 1,000 dead. The party was regarded with skepticism and suspicion by many
committed to secularism in contemporary India. To alleviate fear among the
public, restore confidence in the party, and expand its base, the BJP’s leaders
undertook a series of rath yatras (“journeys on the carriage”), or political
marches, in which the Hindu god Rama was symbolically invoked as the symbol
of cultural renaissance.
In elections in 1996 the BJP emerged as the largest single party in the Lok
Sabha and was invited by India’s president to form a government. However, its
tenure in office was short-lived, as it could not muster the majority required to
rule in the 545-member lower house. In 1998 the BJP and its allies were able to
form a majority government with Vajpayee as prime minister. In May of that year,
nuclear weapons tests ordered by Vajpayee drew widespread international
condemnation. After 13 months in office, coalition partner All India Dravidian
Progressive Federation (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazagham) withdrew
its support, and Vajpayee was prompted to seek a vote of confidence in the Lok
Sabha, which he lost by the margin of a single vote.
The BJP contested the 1999 parliamentary elections as the organizer of
the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a coalition of more than 20 national and
regional parties. The alliance secured a governing majority, with the BJP winning
182 of the coalition’s 294 seats. Vajpayee, as leader of the largest party in the
alliance, was again elected prime minister. Although Vajpayee sought to resolve
the country’s long-standing conflict with Pakistan over the Kashmir region and
made India a world leader in information technology, the coalition lost its majority
in the 2004 parliamentary elections to the Congress Party’s United Progressive
Alliance (UPA) coalition, and Vajpayee resigned from office. The party’s share of
seats in the Lok Sabha was reduced from 137 to 116 in the 2009 parliamentary
elections, as the UPA coalition again prevailed.

6. As the 2014 Lok Sabha elections grew near, however, the BJP’s fortunes began
to rise, largely because of growing discontent with Congress Party rule. Narendra
Modi, the longtime chief minister (head of government) of Gujarat state, was
chosen to lead the BJP electoral campaign, thus making him the party’s
candidate for prime minister. The polling—held in several stages in April and
May—produced an overwhelming victory for the BJP. The party won 282 seats
outright, a clear majority in the chamber, and its NDA partners added 54 more.
Shortly after election results were announced, Modi was named head of the party
members in parliament, and he began forming a government that included not
only senior BJP officials but also several leaders from parties allied with the
coalition. Modi was sworn in as prime minister on May 26.

17. About ALBA INFO
ALBA INFO hosts links to a variety of resources on the Bolivarian Alliance, displaying
them in a simple accessible manner. This includes a broad range of written pieces such
asbooks and book chapters, academic articles, student papers, newspaper and magazine
columns, as well as links to multimedia resources. ALBA INFO also features a news page which
provides up to date information of developments in the ALBA and research into it.
What is the ALBA? The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (the ALBA or
ALBA-TCP for short), was founded on the 14th
of December 2004 when presidents Hugo Chavez
of Venezuela and Fidel Castro of Cuba signed protocols bringing the agreement into existence.
In its own terms the ALBA is a “political, economic, and social alliance in defense of
independence, self-determination and the identity of peoples comprising it”, which now includes
eleven member states from Latin America and the Caribbean. For more information please see
our What is the ALBA? page, read some literature on the ALBA , or consult one of the websites
listed on our Website Links page.

18. (Photo:Rafael Correa, Raul Castro, Nicholas Maduro and Hugo Chavez at the ALBA’s Ninth Summit, held on the
19thofApril 2010 inCaracas,Venezuela.From Presidenciade la República del Ecuador on Flickr and reproduced
under Creative Commons 2.0)
Why ALBA INFO? While there has been extensive coverage of the Latin American “Pink
Tide”, material focusing on the ALBA itself seems relatively scarce – certainly at first glance.
In the conclusion of his literature review on the ALBA Christopher Absell writes “One of the
principal weaknesses of the literature is the absence of the development of a shared
bibliography”. Absell is concerned about how those approaching the topic of the ALBA may be
speaking past each other, rather than effectively engaging with each other and developing a
useful research agenda.
Although some are clearly well aware of other work on the ALBA (see for example Thomas
Muhr’s criticisms within his introductory chapter to Counter-Globalization and Socialism in the
21st
Century), Absell’s point does seem to hold a certain level of validity. Furthermore, while it
may be an easier task for experienced researchers, finding and accessing the various dispersed
resources on the ALBA can be a difficult and time-consuming task for many.

Goodchild (Rugby, UK) . The website is currently still in its embryonic stages and limited to the

“Do you know my name, do you know my trade, I’ll not rest ‘til the
world is made” After Jethro Tull
WELCOME
1st December 2014
I have been asked why, in the name of sanity, without money or
political clout, would I venture on such a project, given the fate of
minority parties in this country and the callous savagery of the media.
I came across a quotation the other day which answers this question
for me : “Here I stand. I can do no other”
See you again, I hope
Roger Taylor

22. I presume you are here because you share my fears about the parlous
state of modern politics and where it is taking us. The three major
parties are virtually indistinguishable and irreparably tainted by their
own conduct. They lack both the will and the problem-solving skills
needed to deal with a rapidly changing world. Once, this was not too
serious – we knew we could survive their bumbling even though they
crashed economies and squandered vast sums of our monies on
blatantly fatuous projects. Now, however, we face real dangers. If
this same inept governance continues, then aside from ever more
economic and social problems, increasing climate instability will leave
our children and future generations beyond, with exhausted resources
and a dangerously degraded and hostile environment. If we wish to
be able to look our offspring in the face in our later years then a
continuation of our present political inertia is not an option.
We have to move away from the old, worn-out two/three-party
deadlock. Practicality, of course, will be essential, but we will need
also, originality. Small, conventional parties – the Greens, UKIP etc –
despite often having good ideas and being run by people of some
calibre, will sadly get nothing but a conventional pasting at a General
Election as those who still have faith in voting (myself included),
having no-one to vote for, vote against, to prevent ‘the other party’
from gaining power.
I do not have an answer to this problem, but I know that you (plural)
have it and that you(singular) may well have part of it without
realizing and so I formed the Alternative Party in 2003 on the basic
engineering, problem-solving principle – ‘when you don’t know where
to start – start’.
It is very small, penniless and, currently, a one-man (funded) band.
However, it is bona fide, and its affairs are in proper order as required
by the Electoral Commission. With your help and support it will grow
and achieve worthwhile things. Without it, it will not; the present

23. appalling, not to say, frightening, situation will continue with all that
that means for the future of ourselves and, worse by far, our children.
Have a quiet browse through the ideas set out here and think what
they mean. It is not an extremist rant – the only thing radical is that
the ideas are the result of rational thought rather than political
dogma. If you like what you read, and would like to support this
venture, drop me an email at info[at]alternativeparty.org.uk with your
name and address. This will make you a member (yes, it’s free) and I
will keep the information secure and confidential (we are registered
under the Data Protection Act). You can also go to the Comments
section at the bottom of this page and engage in a debate.
1. If you have any ideas, let’s hear them. It may take a hundred to
produce a good one, so the more the merrier and the sooner we
start, the better.
2. If you have helpful information, let’s have it. (If you want
anything kept confidential, just mark it as such and I will note it
but not publish it)
3. If you want to help, let me know what it is you can offer, up to
and including being willing to stand as an MP.
That said, I do not want to hear from ‘Golden Agers’, (unless this is an
aspiration for the future rather than some imagined memory of the
past), ranters, carpers, moaners, groaners, racists, utopiasts, adult
non-voters, ‘Little Englanders’, or anyone with nothing positive to
suggest.
I would particularly like to hear from: MPs desperate to do something
about the way they are treated by the Executive and who are
genuinely looking to reform Westminster; party activists; police
officers (all ranks); NHS, Prison Service, Social Service, Utility, and
Local Authority employees; teachers; members of the armed forces;
anyone who has fallen foul of political correctness, ‘manageocrats’,

24. and asinine so-called health and safety rules or compensation threats
etc.
You may well feel too insignificant and inconsequential for such a
venture as trying to sort out the present almighty mess. Don’t! You
should never underestimate the effects of a small action. Think
about this – if you won’t do something, who will? Cameron, Clegg,
Milliband and their cronies? The three big parties? Be realistic – the
future, your children’s future, cannot afford such a triumph of hope
over experience! Your support is essential and your contribution may
be more important that you think, however small you feel it may be.
So? Time to stop grumbling into our beer/cocktails/horlicks, ladies
and gentlemen – time to do something. This is your chance. Please
help.
Hope to hear from you
Roger Taylor
THE AIMS OF THE ALTERNATIVE PARTY
Firstly, using constructive and rational discussion, to find a party
structure that will be able to challenge the major parties effectively
with a view to setting the country on a course that will enable it to
deal practically with the many social, economic and environmental
problems that we face. It will need to be simple, very open, and
highly original. Almost certainly it will have to be internet based.
Secondly, in the event of there being too little support for this to make
political changes, using this same discussion to build up a network of

25. practically-minded and competent individuals who can work together
to help one another, and society, with the problems that will ensue as
Government becomes increasingly irrelevant and, quite probably,
dictatorial.
THE PROBLEM (see also, Parliament)
Craven, self-serving and self-perpetuating, all the major parties have
nothing but contempt for, and distrust of the British people. Distrust
breeds distrust and, as a result, our political life has degenerated to a
point where public faith in it has almost totally collapsed; the whole
tone of our society is being set not by reason and the quiet majority
but by anyone who can generate a headline – noisy minorities,
extremists, and the pathologically timorous. Public service has been
replaced by self-enhancement and self-aggrandizement; basic
honesty and integrity are vanishingly rare; problems are tackled not
with a view to solving them but with a view to gaining favourable
headlines and further extending the powers and machinery of
Government; enterprise and initiative are being suffocated by
bureaucracy; ancient freedoms that thousands have died to win for us
are being discarded without a thought, and, to add final insult to
grievous injury, the whole desperate shambles is being paid for
with our hard-earned money.
Looking at the way some MPs strive to become ‘interesting characters’
or TV quiz show hosts, one is tempted to say we are no longer a
Democracy, but a ‘Celebritocracy’. However, a more accurate word is
Kakistocracy, (look it up, it’s spot on!)
Unfortunately, Parliament, as presently constituted, cannot mend itself
– most MPs, decent and conscientious though many strive to be, could
not begin to earn their present salaries in ordinary employment –

26. many, in fact, have never had a proper job for any length of time. As
a result, independent thought puts them at risk and they must bow to
the diktats of the party whips. Party discipline and party loyalty – the
retention of ‘power’ by the party – supersede the good of the country.
Further, most MPs are lawyers and as such their basic training makes
them poor problem-solvers. They examine evidence not to obtain a
measure of the truth of a situation, but to select such parts of it as can
be presented in the most favourable manner to meet the short-term
needs of their clients – in this case, the Party. Thus, time and again
new laws and procedures are tacked on to old ones to ‘deal with’
particular problems, without any semblance of an overview and
often with a complete disregard for hard evidence. This is not
only unscientific, it is fundamentally irrational – voodoo law-making -
an ancient and primitive way, where superstition, bigotry, tribal
hatreds, all our darkest instincts, can hold sway. It is not the way of
rational and civilized peoples, nor a way forward. The effects of this,
bad enough as they are, are further aggravated by the instinct of
Governments for social engineering – that pious arrogance which
imbues them with the belief that they know better than we do how to
run our lives and our businesses. Hence the relentless deluge of
detailed diktats imposed on every business and public institution.
This, of course, as any remotely competent businessman would point
out, is the very essence of bad management. Such good work as the
police, teachers, NHS staff, all of us, manage to do, is a tribute to
decent people trying their damnedest to work within these constraints,
often having to ignore or ‘bend’ the fatuous procedures foisted on
them from above. Very sadly this can be at great personal cost.
Having to spend hour after hour doing ‘work’ you know to be
completely pointless instead of doing what you are good at, can
take a very heavy toll.

27. THE SOLUTION
The bringing of a practical problem-solving attitude towards
legislation. Asking, exactly what is the problem? Precisely how will
this proposal deal with it? Subjecting laws to much the same scrutiny
as scientific research – if it’s not working, find out why and change it
or get rid of it. What has been done before is only of value insofar as
it provides evidence of effectiveness.
Two basic principles are : if what you are doing is not working, do
something else, and pay no heed to those declaiming the thousand
ways something cannot be done.
Listen instead to the experts – the people who do the work –
caretakers, nurses, soldiers, social workers, constables, teachers,
plumbers, clerks, on and on. Their collective wisdom, expertise and
goodwill is immense.
We need politicians who accept and understand this fully. They are
public servants, paid by us, and charged with temporarily overseeing
the health and well-being of our society. Their fundamental duty is to
put in place a regime which acknowledges the talents of the people
and encourages both co-operative and individual endeavour. They
must both follow and guide. Follow, by asking, listening and striving
to understand. Guide, by bringing calm, open-minded and rational
thought, and perhaps a little courage and wisdom, to whatever is
before them, not least to protect us from the worst excesses of
democracy – mob rule. It is not for them to define what we each may
do, but to define only the few things that we may not do, to accept
the principle of ‘do as you wish, but hurt no one’ and to propose
restraints on us, based on reason and practicality, ‘so gentle and
moderate . . . that no man of sense or probity would wish to see them
slackened’.

28. Government is a necessary evil and politics must be pragmatic. At
best, politicians should seek to do the greatest good for the greatest
number. Failing that, they should seek to do the least harm to the
fewest. Much has been spoken in the past of ‘passion’ and ‘conviction
politics’, but sincerity is not necessarily a cardinal virtue in a politician
– Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse Tung were all sincere conviction
politicians. While ideals are essential, ideologies are a curse and
ideologues invariably dictatorial. What is needed is a strong
commitment to democratic ideals – trust in the people – together with
a realistic acceptance of Churchill’s comment that democracy is the
worst way to run a country except for all the others – it is messy and
inefficient, but it works. Also needed is practical ability. ‘I meant well’
is no more acceptable an excuse from a failed politician than it is from
a failed plumber who has wrecked the house, cost you a fortune and
left the scene with water still coming through the ceiling.
AN ETHICAL BASIS
‘So many gods, so many creeds, So many ways that wind and
wind, While all the world needs Is that we be kind ’ after Ella Wheeler
Wilcox
Over the years we have been offered ‘Victorian values’, ‘Family
values’, ‘Christian values’, ‘Back to basics’, ‘Ethical foreign policy’,
‘Moral compasses’ etc. All vague and ill-defined, not to say, pompous
terms, deliberately chosen to give the impression that the floundering
policies they ostensibly justified were rooted in some deep and worthy
philosophy, and all based on the assumption that the voting public is
too stupid to see them for the word games they are. Inevitably, they
have each faded away ingloriously, following in the wake of concepts
such as integrity, honour, dignity, honesty, and, not least, public

29. service. In their place has come arrogance, mendacity, hypocrisy,
blame-shifting, and glaring self-interest.
However, notwithstanding these failures, some form of moral basis is
essential to government as it is in ordinary life, so I would offer the
plea that is fundamental not only to all the great modern religions but
is accepted by most shades of non-believers, namely, the Golden Rule
– ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’, though for
political purposes its negative form is perhaps more appropriate – ‘Do
nothing to others you would not like done to yourself.’ This needs no
theological debate, Holy Book or Divine Being to justify it. It is the
practical wisdom of our species. While we are each unique individuals,
we have evolved to need others, hence we are empathic: we
understand and generally respect the feelings of others and, for the
most part, we manage to preserve our uniqueness and work together
for the common good.
I would offer three practical watch-words: trust, tolerance, self-
sufficiency.
1. Trust is deeply rooted in us all. Indeed, without it, society could
not function. Every day we trust thousands of complete strangers
with our lives without giving it a thought and Governments should
accept, encourage, and build on this. Trust however, is mutual.
You cannot trust someone who does not trust you and when
almost every action by Parliament demonstrates a deep distrust
of us, the people who lent it their authority, it will not be restored
easily. Which prompts the question, would you trust me to run a
Government? Well, I would not ask you to - you should watch
anyone vying for power over you like hawks and hold them
continually to account. I would ask you to give me – and anyone
who chooses to pursue this venture with me – a chance. I
certainly trust you. We are the only real alternative to the stifling
grip of the existing parties, perhaps even a last chance.

30. 2. Tolerance is traditionally a powerful British virtue but it can be
hard work. It does not simply mean living peacefully with people
whose views are a ‘little different’ from yours, it means living,
dealing, co-operating, and debating to find common ground, with
people whose ideas and actions you may heartily detest, people
who may mock and deride your most cherished beliefs – as you
might theirs. Nevertheless, it is essential in a free and diverse
society – one which aspires to progress. It is the first thing to go
once trust begins to collapse and without it there is only
ignorance, bigotry and hatred, the harbingers of social violence.
The only thing we can safely be intolerant of is intolerance.
3. Self-sufficiency is the only way that peoples can be truly free and
nations both strong and good neighbours. It is also the only way
to protect ourselves from international economic vagaries,
random acts of violence (see ‘Terrorism’), pandemics, ecological
and climatic disasters such as floods and droughts etc, and, not
least, over-weaning and autocratic Governments. Not to be able
to grow or make everything we need to survive is frankly insane.
It leaves us defenceless and vulnerable to the whims of others far
away in what will become an increasingly unsettled world. Self-
sufficiency should be aspired to in everything both locally and
nationally: from agriculture to manufacturing and from heating
and lighting our houses to defending ourselves in our homes and
neighbourhoods
