“…The recent efforts of anthropologists and historians to delve deeper into the everyday processes of the operation of the post-colonial state in South Asia offer some clues about the impact of the transfer of power from the British. The general conclusion is that the transfer was of a 'step-in-your-shoes' kind (Maddison 1971: 71-73; see also Gould 2017;Gould, Sherman, and Ansari 2013), that nonetheless often undermined due process in apparently unchanged bureaucratic structures. Research in Pakistan shows how the discontinuities in bureaucratic processes from the British period have allowed the ideal of a rational and disinterested bureaucratic decision-making process to be turned on its head, creating an economy of the circulation of official paper that blurs the distinction between private and public interests (Hull 2012).…”

This paper addresses the question of how the position of Indian states in terms of their approach to welfare state policies interacts with the centre-state relationships that characterise health policymaking. In India's version of federalism health policymaking has been influenced by four mutually interacting sources: international public health discourses; Indian government programmes and policies; civil society organisations concerned with health; and the political economy of the different states and their associated political regimes. Public health issues sometimes achieve high policy profile at the government of India but very rarely do so at state level. This divergence provides fertile spaces for negotiation and conflict. An analysis of the path-dependency of the allocation of health functions to different national and sub-national levels of government contextualises a case study of the National Rural Health Mission, 2004Mission, -2014. This shows the limits to the central government's ability to implement a universalising, rights-based programme across the country. An explanation for the different outcomes can be found in the variety of state systems within the country. Finally, the paper assesses whether the changes introduced since 2014 show a new federal order in the making and provides preliminary insights from state responses to the 2020 Covid-19 outbreak.

This cross-sectional study examined the association between gender equity outlook (GEO) and patriarchal beliefs (PB) among 190 police constables in Allahabad, India. Results of linear regression and the scatter plot analysis revealed an inverse association (ß= −0.33, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.16–0.49) between the GEO and PB of police constables. The feature selection technique of machine learning was also used to understand which socio-demographic characteristics were most important in explaining the GEO and PB. Recursive features elimination, a decision tree, random forest, ridge, and lasso regression showed gender as the most important feature (GEO ß= 3.66, 95% CI, P < 0.00; PB ß= 9.54, 95% CI, P < 0.00) followed by age and education in explaining the prevalence of GEO and PB. The findings underscore the importance of (re)shaping policing policies and interventions with a particular focus on gender equity and equality in eliminating the prevalent patriarchy among police in India.
