Paper long abstract:

The paper tries to reconnoiter the critical analysis to the very notion of "Politics" and carry forward the discussion on the same with reference to people's movement. Having changed politico- economy after the globalization process started, India has facing turmoil from different stakeholders in the country as the globalization had an adversary impact on lower and backward regions in the country. This crisis led to people's unrest and smaller states demands as well in the country-India. This entire changed political situation in the country gave the scope to redefine and refine existing definitions peoples and politics. In the light of this back ground, the paper tries assess the domain of political participation critically and focus the role of people's organization and movement in substantializing the very spirit of democracy by understanding the separate Telangana movement in the southern part of India for the separate state. This movement, it argues, a case to study further the notion of democracy and participation in post globalization. The question that the movement poses is: whether the substantive democratic urges make a difference to parliamentary politics or the latter will marginalize the democratic process? This paper probe into this new and emerging domain of knowledge.
