“…To avoid selection biases, we source ad hoc features from existing scholarly indexes and a range of Indian textual sources to retrieve political concepts and principles , institutional , procedural— constitutional and electoral —processes and direct appeals . To identify the language related to institutional processes in India, we used the indexes of the Oxford Companion to Politics in India (Jayal & Mehta, 2011, pp. 605–617) and Keywords for India (Nair & DeSouza, 2020, pp.…”

Minimal understandings of populism focus on measuring explicit stances of antielitism and people centrism. What remains poorly understood is the way less overt forms of populist rhetoric enable leaders to emulate the language of common citizens to achieve electoral success. This article suggests that the study of the populist discourse also requires taking into account their implicit occurrences, that is, those conveying connect, closeness, commonness, and similarity with ordinary people. Expressed through performances of “layman likeness,” they enable populist politicians to dissociate from traditional ruling elites while enabling people leaders' identifications. Using a novel 261‐million‐word dataset of Indian political discourses—including the speeches of 11 Prime Ministers—to proxy such identifications, we argue that populist leaders rely on a mimesis of the common people. Three core mimetic speech items are quantified: intimacy, disintermediation, and simplicity. We use a replicable corpus‐contextual multiword collocation technique to populate lexicons of pretested psychometric profiles as well as a threefold validation method. The analysis finds that current Prime Minister Narendra Modi communicates mimetic identification around his persona, indexing the linguistic markers of his stylistic, ideological, and institutional populist politics. We indicate that our context‐aware method could also be of use to study the cross‐regional variability of mimetic populism.

“…According to the Sachar Committee Report (Indian Government, 2006), Muslims had lower predictors of economic and social growth, education, and work opportunities than Dalits and Adivasis. As existing tokenistic practises of symbolic representation were abandoned, Muslim political involvement had indeed turned down to terrible levels [7]. Minorities have legitimate rights under the Indian constitution.…”

Purpose: The Government has implemented various schemes for the welfare and upliftment of every section of the society including minorities especially the economically weaker and deprived sections of the society. Ministry of Minority Affairs also implements programmes/ schemes for socio-economic and educational empowerment of the six centrally notified minority communities namely Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Muslims, Parsis and Jains. Hence, the extensive review of existing literatures on role of Government Schemes in empowerment of religious minorities has been conducted to identifying the factors influencing empowerment of Minorities and also to identify the gap in this body research. Design/Methodology/Approach: Secondary sources are used to gather the information needed for the current investigation. This is based on an analysis of the literature that has already been published, including information from a variety of exploratory articles, papers, books, journals, and magazines. The information needed for the study was gathered via Google Scholars, Research Gate, and Science Direct. Findings: The minority communities are socially deprived, economically backward and educationally under-privileged in India. Despite having many efforts on educational development, the access and participation of minority communities are less and insufficient. Though both central and state government has implemented various schemes for the well- being of religious minority group, due to lack of awareness about the schemes minorities are using only selected schemes. All the states are not benefitted uniformly from the schemes and there should be a positive change in social structure. Originality/Value: This study will provide guidelines to Government and policy makers for uplifting the religious minority group. Paper type: Literature Review paper.
