Book Synopsis The Decline of the Caste Question by : Dwaipayan Sen
Download or read book The Decline of the Caste Question written by Dwaipayan Sen. This book was released on 2018-05-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revisionist history of caste politics in twentieth-century Bengal argues that the decline of caste-based politics in the region was as much the result of coercion as of consent. It traces this process through the political career of Jogendranath Mandal, the leader of the Dalit movement in eastern India and a prominent figure in the history of India and Pakistan, over the transition of Partition and Independence. Utilising Mandal's private papers, this study reveals both the strength and achievements of his movement for Dalit recognition, as well as the major challenges and constraints he encountered. Departing from analyses that have stressed the role of integration, Dwaipayan Sen demonstrates how a wide range of coercions shaped the eventual defeat of Dalit politics in Bengal. The region's acclaimed 'castelessness' was born of the historical refusal of Mandal's struggle to pose the caste question.

Book Synopsis Caste Matters in Public Policy by : Rahul Choragudi
Download or read book Caste Matters in Public Policy written by Rahul Choragudi. This book was released on 2022-08-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caste in India, despite its historical resilience, has been undergoing transformation since independence. If caste as a system of rigid stratification has been on the decline, castes as autonomous interest-serving groups have been on ascendance. This book critically engages with the changing notions of caste and its intersection with public policy in India. It discusses key issues such as social security, internal reservation, the idea of Most Backward Classes, caste issues among non-Hindu religious communities, caste in census, caste in market, and service castes and urban planning. Drawing on in-depth case studies from states including Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and West Bengal, the volume explores the cyclical process of how caste drives policies, and how policies in turn shape the reality of caste in India. It looks at the impact of factors like protective discrimination, adult franchise and democratic decentralisation, horizontal and vertical mobilisation, land reforms, and religious conversion on social mobility, and traditional hierarchy in India. Empirically rich and analytically rigorous, this book will be an excellent reference for scholars and researchers of public policy, public administration, sociology, exclusion studies, social work, law, history, economics, political science, development studies, social anthropology, and political sociology. It will also be of interest to public policy and development practitioners.

Book Synopsis Caste in Contemporary India by : Pauline Kolenda
Download or read book Caste in Contemporary India written by Pauline Kolenda. This book was released on 1985. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often assumed that the caste system in South Asia has faded away. Yet it is indeed unlikely that a social structure organizing the political, economic, and ritual life of a people for over one thousand years could be totally expunged within a few decades. In this brief, cogent, and clear presentation, caste is first considered as a system of descent-groups. Then the traditional caste system is analyzed, the evidence for its decline discussed, and the characteristics of the emerging new caste system examined.
