Anirudha Gupta History is easily distorted. In a mighty peroration on 'the universal urge for freedom', Congress(I) MP M J Akbar told the Kathmandu convention that he was opposed to any compromise on fundamentals. As a popular biographer of Jawaharlal Nehru, Akbar should know that the compromise on democracy in Nepal was made at the instance of Nehru himself.

Will Malta Prevent Another Reich

Anirudha Gupta

Anirudha Gupta In more ways than one, the partitioning of Germany after the War had helped to secure European stability as well as its unprecedented economic recovery No wonder then that it is one thing to give verbal support to the notion of German reunification and quite another to see it turning into reality ON the eve of the Malta summit, the chancellor of West Germany, Helmut Kohl, outlined a 10-point programme for a federation with East Germany. Speaking to parliament, Kohl stated that reunification was Bonn's eventual goal, but he qualified this by saying that as a complex long-term issue it could only be resolved in a European context.

India-Nepal Discord Anirudha Gupta Several international conventions as well as the non-aligned movement have accepted the principle that landlocked countries must be provided free access to and from the sea and freedom of transit in order to help them overcome their economic backwardness.

India and Fiji Faulty Perspective

Vol. 23, Issue No. 44, 29 Oct, 1988
Anirudha Gupta

The government of India has over-stressed the racial factor in Fiji and failed to take into account the complexities of the domestic and external linkages in the South Pacific region as a whole. This has suited the established external powers as, without any effort on their part, they saw India distancing itself from the nationalist stirrings in the area.

Approaches to Study of African Political Systems-Peeling Off the Wrapping

Vol. 17, Issue No. 30, 24 Jul, 1982
Anirudha Gupta

This paper attempts to identify and describe the various possible approaches to the study of African political systems. Arguing that neither a purely formalist approach (in terms of written laws and constitutions) nor a structuralist approach (based on the proclaimed ideologies) can serve as reliable guides to probe the direction and functioning of the political systems currently prevailing in Africa, the paper considers three alternative approaches: the personal-psychological, the anthropological and the Marxist or neoMarxist. It finds that a class analysis of African political process helps one to cross the barriers earlier raised by the development school. As most African economies function as sub- ordinate units in the network of international finance and market systems, the dynamics of inter-relationship between the material base and the political superstructure can only be analysed in the context of the impact of external forces on Africa's internal developments.
