Question

Write a short note on non congraism

Answer 1

Answer:

Non-Congress-ism is a term that is used to describe the anti-congress waves started by non-congress parties with rightist and leftist leanings that arose citing an uninterrupted Congress rule to be the root cause of various problems faced by our country such as food problems, economic crisis, corruption and dependence on foreign countries.

This not only resulted in the defeat of many Congress stalwarts but also led to many internal revolts in the party. The coinage of this term can be rightfully traced back to the elections of 1967.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Non-Congressism was born out of the imagination of a political leader who died on October 12, 1967 at the age of fiftyseven, when his dreams were still alive. Dr Rammanohar Lohia had put forward the idea that all Opposition groups should come together to provide an alternative to the Congress.

For Lohia, it was not an easy task for many reasons. The Congress had not exhausted all its moral and political potential. Opposition parties like the Communist Parties, Socialist Parties, that is, Samyukta Socialist Party and Praja Socialist Party, Swatantra Party, Jana Sangh were all ideological parties. At that time all the five fundamental dimensions of political work (electoral battles, ideological work, organisational work, democratic struggles and constructive experiments) were undertaken by the parties and its allied organisations almost as one organic whole. For a present-day student of Indian polity, it is very difficult to imagine how parties were much more than just an election machine. The leaderships of these Opposition groups were very committed to their respective ideological positions. It was almost sacrilegious to think of the SSP and Swatantra Party or the Jana Sangh and CPI sharing the same political platform. It required a man of Lohia’s intellectual boldness and radical credibility that the Jana Sangh and CPI were in the same Cabinets of Bihar and UP, which were led by erstwhile Congressmen, with Lohia Socialists almost acting as a bridge or translator between different ideological extremes.
