John Badlock explains what social policy consists of and tries to define it broadly and also shows what all can be calculated under social spending.

The tragic death of the Chief
Minister
of Andhra Pradesh (AP),
Y S Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR), along
with four others, in a helicopter crash in
the forested hills of Nallamalla on 2 September
has suddenly altered the political
landscape of the state and has left the major
players in AP politics unsure about its
fallout. The media blitzkrieg about the
search for the missing helicopter helped
