स्वतंत्र पार्टी की पहेली। Swatantra Party in Independent India ft. Aditya Balasubramanian
आज़ादी के बाद भारत में जो राजनीतिक पार्टियां उभर कर आ रही थी उसमें से एक थी राजाजी द्वारा स्थापित स्वतंत्र पार्टी। उनकी कोशिश थी की आज़ादी के बाद के भारत में कांग्रेस की योजनाबद्ध व्यवस्था के सामने स्वतंत्र आर्थिक नीति के समर्थन में एक प्रतिपक्ष रखा जाये। क्या थी इस स्वतंत्र पार्टी की विचारधारा और उसकी राजनीति? जिस समय देश में समाजवादी विचारधारा का प्रभुत्व था उस समय अमरीका की लिबर्टेरियन विचारधारा से प्रभावित पार्टी कैसे उभर कर आ पायी?
हमें तो ये कहानी एक गुत्थी की तरह लगी जो हमारे मेहमान आदित्य बालसुब्रमन्यन अपनी किताब और इस पुलियाबाज़ी में बख़ूबी सुलझाते हैं। हिंदी में बोलने के आदी न होने के बावजूद आदित्य ने हिंदी में बात करने का विशेष प्रयत्न किया उस के लिए उन्हें शुक्रिया।
Join us in this conversation as we try to understand the origins and ideology of the Swatantra party, which was an attempt at offering effective opposition to Congress’s one party dominance in post-independence India. The party, founded by C. Rajagopalachari who famously formulated the term ‘Licence Permit Raj’, was influenced by libertarian thought and rallied behind the promise of a free economy in contrast to the planned economy of the erstwhile Congress government.
But history is seldom that straightforward. This story and its characters also have many shades. Listen patiently as our guest Aditya Balasubramanian narrates a comprehensive picture of the Swatantra party and its politics.
We discuss:
* Understanding the roots of liberalisation
* Emerging ideologies after independence
* Free Economy vs Free Markets
* Policy changes after independence
* How did they gather electoral strength
* Rallying around private property rights
* C. Rajagopalachari’s involvement in Swatantra
* Difference between theory and practice
* The decline of Swatantra
* The use of print public sphere
Readings:

ऐतिहासिक रूप से भारत-अमेरिका संबंध "कभी हां कभी ना" जैसा रहा है। हाल के वर्षों में बदलते भू-राजनीतिक परिदृश्य के साथ इसमें बदलाव आया है, लेकिन कुछ कारणवश हम आज भी अमरीका को थोड़ा संदेह के साथ देखते है। भारत-अमरीका संबंधों के विरुद्ध जो तर्क दिए जाते हैं उनमें कितना दम है? अमेरिका के साथ घनिष्ठ साझेदारी बनाने में भारत को क्या आर्थिक और तकनीकी लाभ होगा? इन सब सवालों पर विस्तार में चर्चा डिफेन्स क्षेत्र में विशेषज्ञ युसूफ उंझावाला के साथ।

हमारा गणतंत्र। We, the Citizens
कहते है न कि पब्लिक पॉलिसी में अक्सर पब्लिक ही गायब रहती है। इसलिए हमारी कोशिश रहती है कि किसी तरह लोगों की लोकनीति में रुचि बढ़ाई जाए । पुलियाबाज़ी भी उसी दिशा में एक कदम है। अब इस श्रृंखला में एक और कड़ी जुड़ चुकी है—ख्याति, प्रणय और अनुपम की नयी किताब ‘We, the Citizens’ जो लोकनीति के मुश्किल पाठ चित्रों के द्वारा आसान भाषा में सीखाने की कोशिश करती है। आज की पुलियाबाज़ी इसी किताब और उसके पीछे की कहानी पर।
This week on Puliyabaazi, Khyati and Pranay share the story behind their new book ‘We, the Citizens’. What was the idea behind the book? What was the process to bring it to life? Also, Khyati shares her journey as a comic illustrator, from drawing short comics for introverts to a fully illustrated 180-pager on public policy.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast on public policy
Really great podcast. I really like how the speakers talk directly to the audience, rather than appearing to be reading from a script.
Great Podcast
Great job guys, it s so good to hear such an intelligent and well formed discussion about on current affairs , that too in Hindi!
The only suggestion (which you seemingly have already implemented) if the description of the show can be both in Hindi & English that would help immensely. Sorry I’m from the south, so my Hindi reading skills are very rudimentary 😜. Keep up the great job guys!!
Nice Hindi podcast!
I’m always in search for good podcasts and listening other people minds. I happened to found this on gaana today and found it very interesting. Though I listened episode on liberal and really liked it, will listen other as well.
