Indian territory, from regional to local level, remains a fundamentally composite space, divided into varying segments of more homogeneous appearance. Closer analysis shows that these segments are themselves subdivided and that spaces and resources are unequally shared and often disputed among social groups. The chapters in this volume, each in its own way, illustrate the ubiquity of oppositions running across the regions, irrespective of the level of analysis chosen. The resulting image of India is that of a complex and fast evolving system characterized by strong social and historical Patterning as well as extensive spatial recombination. This collection of essays, first published in France in 1997 and based on abundant cartographic materials, brings together a selection of studies by geographers and other social scientists on India, covering a large variety of topics : population dynamics, rural-urban linkages, spatial discrimination, health issues, minorities, etc. These varied research interests open a large number of areas related to spatial organization in India, integrating demographic, economic and anthropological questions and illustrate the relevance of an informed geographical perspective for the study of social transformation in India. The authors would readily agree on the modesty which these essays are bound to evidence, so rich and embedded is the fabric of Indian space. Readers henceforth have more material to form, in their turn, new images reflecting contemporary India and its transitional geography.

Exploring the enduring legacy of untouchability in India, this book challenges the ways in which the Indian experience has been represented in Western scholarship. The authors introduce the long tradition of Dalit emancipatory struggle and present a sustained critique of academic discourse on the dynamics of caste in Indian society. Case studies complement these arguments, underscoring the perils and problems that Dalits face in a contemporary context of communalized politics and market reforms.

This edited volume brings together a range of scholars to reflect on the varied ways in which caste is manifested and experienced in social life. Each chapter draws on different methods and approaches but all consider lived experiences and experiential narrations. Considering Guru and Sarukkai’s path-breaking work on ‘Experience, Caste and the Everyday Social’ (2019), this volume applies the insights of the theories to multiple settings, issues and communities. Unique to this volume, Brahmin and other dominant castes' experiences are considered, rather than simply focusing on the lives of oppressed castes (Dalits). Analysis of cross-caste friendships or romances and marriages, furthermore, brings out the intimate and ingrained aspects of caste. Taken together, therefore, the contributions in this volume offer rich insights into caste and its consciousness within the framework of everyday experiences.

This volume documents the ethnographies of regionally distinct Dalit and tribal Christian communities, raising new arguments pertaining to the autonomy and distinct identity of these communities in adverse social set-ups. Stressing upon the plurality of identities, the essays reject the idea of determining these exclusively on the basis of religion. The book is a response to the urgent need for such studies in social science writings brought to the fore by contemporary political challenges and struggles facing these communities in various parts of India.

Human Rights from the Dalit Perspective portrays the efforts taken to bring the Dalit Discrimination issues under the purview of Human Rights since 1985. India has played a leading role in the United Nations Human Rights Commission activities and meetings and for the abolition of Human Rights paradigm is therefore appropriate and relevant to deal with Dalit discrimination issues to end the violence based on caste discrimination, which is confronting our people. In order to make India truly a progressive nation in the world and to achieve the goal of the new millennium of discrimination. The collection of articles on Human Rights for Dalits will be good source material for both the academia and the activists.

This books represets a detailed scholarly analysis of the Dalit situation, but rather to isolate and present the central isues pertinent to thil long oppresion. In comes as an ongoing ple for the ear of the world, from a courageous representative of oneof themost exploited andoppressed populations on earth, victim of a centuries old experiment in forced political integration undr conditions of segregation and cultureal assimilation. i hope this book will helpful and fulfill all the requistes and provede information needed to the readers. It would be the choice for Dalit activists, students, professionals seeking to arouse public indignation against this most outrageous of indiganities against humankind: the notion that the very touchj of some might be polluting to others. Because it says all that most of us need to know in regard tothis social crime against humanity. And there remains so much to be achieved in the Dalit struggle for human dignithy.
