'Equality' is a founding principle of modern societies, yet inequality is a reality facing all. In many societies, a deliberate policy of positive discrimination has been adopted to deal with deep-rooted historical and social inequalities. Even though affirmative action occurs in many spheres, it is implausible to expect members from marginalized or stigmatized groups to achieve success in those realms unless their members have been prepared by the educational system. Focussing on higher education, this volume discusses the notion of 'affirmative action' as a generic term covering diverse measures-quotas, special institutions for the underprivileged, extra points on a 'scale of deprivation'-that are employed to ensure equal opportunity in a democracy. It explores the new trends of inclusion and access in higher education, and the hitherto overlooked disparities of gender, religion, and the urban-rural divide on affirmative action are also addressed. The volume brings together social scientists, philosophers, and lawyers from India, United States, and South Africa to evaluate diverse experiences and to discuss the arguments and concepts that have been most illuminating in each case. It offers an analysis of how India, United States, and South Africa, which have instituted policies for positive discrimination, approach the issue of affirmative action in higher education.

Forgotten Friends
Monks, Marriages, and Memories of Northeast India
Indrani Chatterjee is Associate Professor,
Department of History, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
9780198089223 2013 Hardback forthcoming

This book traces the changing long-term history of a vast Brahmaputra valley region by outlining nowforgotten relationships between its distinct languages, faiths, monastic traditions, and communities. War, changes in revenue regimes, and the growth of the plantation economies in the nineteenth century fragmented this landscape and strained these relationships. These processes particularly affected the households constituted by the wives of monastic males, female cultivators, and labourservants. Colonial officials described monks as 'savages' and female-dependent communities as 'primitive tribes'. In the process, colonial and postcolonial historians, ethnologists and political scientists continued the erasure of erstwhile monastic relationships across the historic geographic order, and the obscuring of women's histories. On a deeper philosophical level, the book explores the nature of history itself, through 'forgetting'. It shows how friendships and a cosmopolitan past were buried deep under a collective amnesia, and how women-centric societies were suppressed to forge a new nation. Readership: This volume will interest scholars, researchers, and students of Indian history, anthropology, and gender studies, especially those involved in studying the northeast India.

'[This book] is perhaps the last and the best of the fruits of a life that was distinguished by an unusual boldness in crossing the boundaries between the world of administrators and scholars, the ethnic and cultural boundaries ... and the conventional boundaries between the social science disciplines.' - Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, Former Chairman, Indian Council of Historical Research Straddling myriad worlds, this book looks beyond the anthropological adding a historical dimension to the groundbreaking People of India project.

'[This] book is most welcome in the genre of historical writings.' - The Indian Historical Review In Bengal, a shift in the mindset of the educated elite towards governance in the last quarter of the nineteenth century indicated a new certainty about their self-identity as colonised subjects. Against this background, the present work investigates the class antagonism between the bhadralok- the privileged, literate, and self-reflective social group, and the chhotolok-the underprivileged class, as they faced the colonial state and its different ideas of legality and sovereignty in colonial Bengal. The book addresses a fundamental discursive discontinuity when the Bengali bhadralok sought to claim a new position of the aware and good legal subject. It also underlines the development of a new cultural language of morality and the rule of law. Readership: This edition will be useful to students and scholars of law, modern Indian history, and political science.

Perspectives on Poverty in India

Stylized Facts from Survey Data
The World Bank, Washington D.C.
9780198073871 2011 Hardback Rs 695

(For sale in South Asia only) The ongoing debate over poverty in India-its extent, trends, causes, and cures-is complex and often controversial. In recent decades, because difficult measurement issues have arisen, a disproportionate amount of attention has been devoted to assessments of the extent of poverty and the rate of poverty decline. Much less is known about how India's rapid economic expansion has altered the underlying poverty profile and how this affects the consequent search for its causes and cures. Perspectives on Poverty in India: Stylized Facts from Survey Data seeks to fill this gap. The book asks how India's structural transformationfrom rural to urban and from agriculture to non-farm sectors-is impacting poverty and social exclusion. The analysis is significant in light of the fact that India faces considerable challenges in moving to the next generation of reforms, sustain growth, and expand the benefits of rapid growth across sectors, regions, and people. Readership: This book will be of interest to development practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and academics working on poverty reduction and social and urban development in India.

'Outcast Labour in Asia is analysis at its most rigorous [and] also a measure of how Breman is tackling current issues.' - The Times of India, Crest Edition The late twentieth century socio-economic transition in Asia has resulted in large-scale migration of rural masses to urban industrial areas in search of their livelihood. However, a complete lack of institutional support, uncertain work tenure, dismal conditions at the workplace, and long working hours along with low wages have interminably forced these migrants' return to their places of origin, turning 'labour migration' into 'labour circulation'. Based on extensive fieldwork in India, China, and Indonesia, Jan Breman argues that the increasing work saturation in the informal sector, the intolerance of the urban population towards the poor, and the apathy of policymakers have ensured that these masses are perpetually trapped in this predicament. Readership: Bringing the loss of rural livelihoods and vicissitudes of forced migration into sharper focus, this book should be indispensable reading for students and researchers of sociology, economics, anthropology, and development and labour studies, as also policymakers and practitioners.

Poverty and Social Exclusion in India

The World Bank, Washington D.C. 9780198073925 2011 Hardback Rs 495
(For sale in South Asia only) Despite India's record of rapid economic growth and poverty reduction over recent decades, rising inequality in the country has been a subject of concern among policymakers, academics, and activists alike. Poverty and Social Exclusion in India focuses on social exclusion, which has its roots in India's historical divisions along lines of caste, tribe, and the excluded sex, that is, women. These inequalities are structural in nature and have kept entire groups trapped, unable to take advantage of opportunities that economic growth offers. Culturally rooted systems perpetuate inequality, and, rather than a culture of poverty that afflicts disadvantaged groups, it is these inequality traps that prevent such groups from breaking out. Combining rigorous quantitative research with a discussion of underlying processes, this book finds that exclusion can be explained by inequalities in opportunities, access to markets, and in voice and agency. Readership: This book will be of interest to policymakers, development practitioners, social scientists, and academics working to foster equality in India.
9780198072577 2011 Hardback Rs 725

Based on detailed studies across South and Southeast Asia, the essays in Gendered Geographies foreground how gendered roles and practices intersect with the concepts of space and place. Drawing upon cases from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Malaysia, they interrogate this convergence to explore how it produces and reproduces traditional hierarchies of power and privileges in a society. The contributions examine the everyday lives of women vis--vis issues of national and transnational identities, gendered struggles in livelihood, and the negotiations and contestations adopted by them.

Thus, there is a critical need to understand irrigation technology and related institutional choices. Through extensive case studies, Controlling the Water portrays not only the complexities of water environments and systems in irrigation, but also the diversities present in technological and institutional trajectories in India and Nepal. With an interdisciplinary approach, this volume shows the range of irrigation technologies developed in different agro-ecological zones-large-scale public canal systems; small-scale farmer-managed canal systems; ponds and tank irrigation systems; and groundwater-based and conjunctive use settings, including micro-hydel systems developed alongside irrigation. It also provides a synthesis of theoretical ideas and conceptual frameworks that have been used to study these dynamics of water control.

Religion-based educational disparities, especially relative educational backwardness amongst the Muslims in India, are the focus of serious debate. The 2006 Sachar Committee Report rekindled public interest and attention in this important issue. Yet, considerable gaps exist in our understanding of the dynamics of religion and access to education. In Religion, Community, and Education, Alam uses a spatial approach and multilayered analytical framework to understand educational disparities in schooling between the Hindus and Muslims in Bihar. The study draws upon national-level data as well as focused fieldwork carried out in Bihar's Patna and Purnia districts. This book highlights the larger historical trajectories that have shaped educational development as well as the forms of disparities therein vis--vis the minorities in India. It contends that the relative educational backwardness of the Muslims reflects underlying socio-economic patterns that are often overlooked. Thus, the Muslims should not be seen merely as homogeneous socio-cultural aggregates. Readership: The book will be of interest to students, researchers, and scholars of education, sociology, economics, and development and minority studies.

The present volume offers one of the first collective appraisals of the trajectory of Sociology of Education (SoE) in India since the 1960s. Despite massive expansion, the education system in contemporary India continues to be plagued by problems related to access, quality, equity, and relevance. The sociological study of education can play a crucial role by analysing education as a social institution and highlighting its linkages with economy, polity, and culture. However, sociologists have only more recently begun to seriously engage with the study of education. There have been few attempts to pool together researches to provide a comprehensive understanding of education in India. The contributions here critically examine the development of SoE in India over the past five decades, the changing institutional domains, and the emerging theoretical and methodological concerns in the sociological study of education. They break new ground in theoretical and empirical engagement with themes of equality, identity, and exclusion, which are key concerns in education today. How do structural inequalities, cultural diversity, and identities of different social groups mediate institutional practices and influence learning? These are areas where SoE can make a substantial contribution. This volume is a step towards this goal. Contributors Leena Abraham Arshad Alam Karuna Chanana Suma Chitnis Amman Madan Nandini Manjrekar Geetha B. Nambissan S. Srinivasa Rao Padma M. Sarangapani Padma Velaskar G.G.

Woven around the notion of 'globality', the chapters in this volume explore its varied manifestations in contemporary India. However, rather than deploying the term in its conventional sense, the volume invests it with an altogether different meaning, designating it as the emergence of numerous Althusserian 'conjunctures': simultaneous yet uneven in spread, non-linear, location-specific, and indeterminate, blurring the difference between the 'cause' and the 'caused'. Globality is thus introduced not as a supplementary concept, but as an alternative to the essentialist and determinist conceptions of globalization found in mainstream theories. Thus informed, these chapters map the spread of globality in India across a wide range of areas: changing notions of modernity and national development; citizenship and cultural nationalism; popular expectations from civil society and state; ideological ambivalence and doublespeak of political parties; dilemmas of newly carved out federal states; role and status of new social movements; images of India in global forums; diasporic identity; and changing cinematic idiom, among others. Exploring these sites, the volume argues that none of these has been a passive recipient of 'globalization processes'. Instead, active political agency is seen everywhere weaving what are described here as discourses of resistance, relocation, and reinvention. Contributors Kumool Abbi Partha Pratim Basu Bhupinder Brar Neera Chandhoke Ashutosh Kumar Pampa Mukherjee Aditya Nigam Anupama Roy Deepak K.

9780198077978 2012 Hardback Rs 695

Taking what is euphemistically termed the 'Kashmir Problem' as a case of contested secession, this book reflects on the wider theoretical issue of what kind of a right is the right of secession; what are the circumstances in which this right can be justified; and what are the moral considerations that impact the right. By building into liberal theories' additional factors that characterize contested secessions, Neera Chandhoke reworks existing understandings of secession. In this timely and original book, the author addresses concepts of core moral and contingent rights, such as the right of secession, processes of justification, national self-determination, democracy, justice, and pluralism. She develops a framework of normative principles that can help map and sort out vexatious issues in contested secessions characterized by extensive violence, third-party intervention, and dissenting minorities. Chandhoke critically evaluates the use of state violence in such cases and supports her argument by examples from across the globe spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The argument culminates in the proposal that the principle of self-determination should be de-linked from secession and seen as a constitutive aspect of democracy. Readership: The book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, especially those studying political theory, conflict management, international relations, and ethnic and identity politics.

The book introduces the reader to the distinction between law and custom, and between matters of right and matters of trust. Readership: Democracy and Its Institutions is a product of many years of research and reflection by a leading sociologist and public intellectual. It is written in a clear and lucid style and will be of interest to students and teachers in a wide variety of social science disciplines as well as to others who are concerned about the fortunes of democracy in India.

'Gujarat has been hailed as a paradise of free enterprise. Is it also the laboratory for policies that the nation needs? Its political leader thinks so and appears to consider his record of success at the State level an endorsement for the same nomination at the central stage. All those who have their doubts, on either Narendra Modi's political credowhich is intolerant to minorities and strongly authoritarian-or on his economic agenda-which is anti-labour and degrades environment-should read this book to come to know why and how high growth for the elite and low development for the masses go hand in hand.' - Jan Breman, Professor Emeritus and Fellow, Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands In this path-breaking account, Nikita Sud critically re-examines the postindependence history and politics of Gujarat, one of India's leading federal units. Today, Gujarat is known for its pioneering role in market liberalization and as the site of ethno-religious strife. Adopting a long-term view, Sud offers a fresh perspective on the seemingly puzzling co-existence of economic liberalism and political illiberalism. Challenging paradigms that posit the decline of the developmental state in India, she places the ideas, institutions and politics of the state at the heart of the analysis. Highlighting the state's recent re-orientation, both as an enabler of the market and as a vehicle for Hindu cultural nationalism, Sud explores how interactions between a re-invigorated state, private corporate capital and ethno-nationalism are configuring the 'new India'. Readership : This timely study will be indispensable for graduate students and scholars of contemporary India. It will also greatly appeal to readers in history, political science, comparative politics, development studies and sociology.

'Remembering Revolution is a thoughtful, nuanced analysis of the ethical ambivalence within feminist discourse on the use of "emancipatory" violence by revolutionary movements. Srila Roy carefully tracks the sexual politics, and the normalization and silencing of ordinary violence within the Naxalite movement. The book invites us to take a close critical look at the distinctions we make between state violence and the violence of revolutionary movements. A splendid achievement.' - Veena Das Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Anthropology, Johns Hopkins University Women's participation in the Maoist revolution in India and the subcontinent as a whole has become more pronounced in recent years. The literature available on the gendered politics of left-wing cultures and practices of violence is, however, somewhat limited. Remembering Revolution constitutes one of the first major studies of women's role and involvement in the late 1960s' radical Left Naxalbari movement of West Bengal, the birthplace of Indian Maoism. Using the production of cultural memory as a central tool, middle-class women (and men) narrate their stories of 'being a Naxalite', of leaving homes and attempting to politicize the Indian peasantry, and of negotiating different types of violence. The book examines sexual as well as everyday interpersonal brutality as part of political violence, and how they are embedded in revolutionary movements. At a time when the face of international terrorism is increasingly female, this book raises pressing questions about women's participation in cultures of violence. Based on extensive field data, and drawing from a unique body of party texts, fiction, poetry, film memoirs, activist writing, and women's personal testimonies, the book attempts to fill the gendered gap in Indian Maoist studies with its fresh focus on women's political identities and subjectivities. Readership: A compelling read for students and scholars of sociology, social anthropology, gender studies, cultural studies, history, and politics.

How does society deal with the cultural differences that exist within it? Should the distinctiveness of each culture be recognized? Should minority cultures, and the differences they embody, be protected? Accommodating Diversity reflects on the Indian experience of democracy and multiculturalism. The volume delineates the policies and institutional arrangements that were specifically designed to accommodate religious, linguistic, and cultural diversities prevalent in Indian society. It also sheds light on the problems that the chosen path yielded. Through a comparative analysis, it sensitizes us to the complexity of the majority-minority relationship, and simultaneously draws attention to articulations of minority consciousness. These considerations on the practices of multiculturalism and accommodation of minorities make a significant contribution to the existing theories of the subject.

Dangerous Sex, Invisible Labor

Sex Work and the Law in India
Prabha Kotiswaran is lecturer in law at the School
of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
9780198078333 HB Rs 695
Popular representations of third-world sex workers as sex slaves and vectors of HIV have spawned abolitionist legal reforms that are harmful and ineff ective, and public health initiatives that provide only marginal protection of sex workers' rights. In this book, Prabha Kotiswaran asks how we might understand sex workers' demands that they be treated as workers. She contemplates questions of redistribution through law within the sex industry by examining the political economies and legal ethnographies of two archetypical urban sex markets in India-Sonagachi in Kolkata and Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. Providing new insights into the lives of these women- many of whom are demanding the respect and legal protection that other workers get-this volume builds a persuasive theoretical case for recognizing these women's sexual labor. Moving beyond standard feminist discourse on prostitution, Kotiswaran draws on a critical genealogy of materialist feminism for its sophisticated vocabulary of female reproductive and sexual labor, and uses a legal realist approach to show why criminalization cannot succeed amid the informal social networks and economic structures of sex markets. Based on this, she assesses the law's redistributive potential by analysing the possible economic consequences of partial decriminalization, complete decriminalization, and legalization. Kotiswaran concludes with a theory of sex work from a postcolonial materialist feminist perspective. Readership: This book will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and students of law, gender studies, and human rights. It will also appeal to general readers.

Talking about their life and work, celebrated scientists, social activists, writers, industrialists, administrators, artists, and corporate leaders reveal how women have contributed to change and development in a society that is largely governed by patriarchal mores. In this book Sonal Mansingh, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Naina Lal Kidwai, Kiran Bedi, Pinky Anand, and Rajashree Birla, among several others, have come together to narrate their personal journeys: stories of trials and tribulations, of pain and suffering, of struggle and determination. Belonging to different age groups and socio-economic backgrounds, these twenty-two contributors continue to pursue varied careers, and yet their work comes together to script a whole new story of hope, success, and joy. Their experiences show how proper education, suitable training, independent thinking, and the drive to innovate can bring about a sea change in the lives of women and impact the society at large. Readership: Introduced by Ashok S. Kolaskar and Motilal Dash, this testimony to woman power will appeal to anybody interested in the story of societal change wrought by women over centuries.

'Hindi periodicals for women and edited by women came into circulation as early as the first decades of the twentieth century. ... Shobna Nijhawan's finely nuanced and meticulously researched book pioneers the study of a pre-Gandhian women's public sphere, preparing to be connected to a world which was already beginning to look beyond the national to the global.' -Vasudha Dalmia, Catherine and William L. Magistretti Distinguished Professor in South & Southeast Asian Studies, University of California, Berkeley The emergence of periodicals in Hindi for women and girls in early twentiethcentury India helped shape the nationalist-feminist thought in the country. Analysing the format and structure of periodical literature, Shobna Nijhawan shows how it became a medium for elite and middle-class women to think in new idioms and express themselves collectively at a time of social transition and political emancipation. With case studies of Hindi women's periodicals including Stri Darpan, Grihalakshmi, and Arya Mahila, and explorations of Hindi girls' periodicals like Kumari Darpan and Kanya Manoranjan, the study brings to light the nationalist demand for home rule for women. Discussing domesticity, political emancipation, and language politics, Shobna argues that women's periodicals instigated change and were not mere witnesses. With a perceptive Introduction setting the context, the work showcases rare archival material: advice texts, advertisements and book reviews, and multiple narratives specifically meant for women and girls of early twentieth-century north India. Readership: Including thirty-six archival visuals and an exhaustive Bibliography, this volume will be rewarding for students and scholars of gender, cultural, and media studies, history, literature, and South Asian studies.

'T.N. Madan has done in an exemplary manner what has been long overdue; he has brought together and discussed select contributions of four major Lucknow University scholars who, each in his own way, attempted a synthesis between Indian (Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim) and Western modes of social thought. The book evokes fond memories of my journey to Lucknow in the 1950s to partake of this milieu under the guidance of Professor D.N. Majumdar who opened the door to my long career in South Asian Studies.' - Harold A. Gould Visiting Professor, Center for South Asian Studies, University of Virginia, USA 'This book is the first systematic historical narrative of the institutionalization of teaching and research in sociology in India. Madan's editorial commentary on the writings of four pioneering social scientists of Lucknow University is laced with his personal insights on their intellectual approaches and orientations. This could come only from him, having been both a student and later faculty member. His personal experiences give the book its comprehensiveness and make it most engaging to read.' - Yogendra Singh Professor Emeritus, Centre for the Study of Social Systems, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India Sociology as a subject for advanced teaching and research in India is now a hundred years old. One of its first locations was the University of Lucknow which opened its doors to students in 1921 at, among others, the Department of Economics and Sociology. The founding professor, Radhakamal Mukerjee, was committed to cultural/civilizational comparison and interdisciplinarity in the teaching of the social sciences. To implement his ideas, he brought in likeminded people, notably Dhurjati Prasad Mukerji and Dhirendra Nath Majumdar. Together they taught several generations of students among whom Awadh Kishore Saran was the most distinguished. The present volume, put together by one of their best known students, T.N. Madan, comprises selections from their writings and his own extensive commentaries on the same. He provides personal insights and perceptions on the orientation and academic approaches of each of these four pioneering sociologists. He pointedly and critically analyses their conceptual and theoretic orientations as well as substantive sociological concerns. The chief merit of the book lies in its attempt to invite today's sociologists to engage with the interests and concerns of the Lucknow 'Quartet' and the pioneers generally. Readership : This outstanding contribution to disciplinary history introduces students and scholars to the rich legacy of sociology at the University of Lucknow. It will interest those engaged in the fields of sociology, anthropology, politics, and history.

How do technologies related to natural resources acquire different institutional forms as they become embedded in social relations of caste, kinship, and local struggles for power? What are the moral and affective valences that give economic activities their force in social life?

Sexuality Studies
Sanjay Srivastava (ed.) is Professor of Sociology, Institute of Economic Growth, University of Delhi
9780198085577 2013 Hardback Price: c. Rs 825

Sexuality, in all societies, pervades every aspect of social existence, and has always been an enigmatic theme of research in the social and human sciences. In India, especially, the overwhelming diversity in language, ethnicity, community, caste, and class; the multitudes of value systems; and the unique and dynamic confluence of its history, modernity, and tradition, render the study of sexuality a challenging endeavour mandating interdisciplinarity and multiplicity of analytical frameworks. This volume, a valuable compilation of fresh research in the field, bridges this gap, and provides a nuanced, spectral view of sexual cultures of India. The essays draw from a wide range of deeply analytical and theoretically potent research. They deal with a host of themes, ranging from colonial sexologists and pulp literature to family courts; development discourses to queer imagery in Hindu nationalistic imagination; laws on perversion and prostitution to romance and the Indian media; and, above all, the established patterns of research on sexuality in India. Together, they explore the interconnected dimensions of history, legality, sexual cultures, power politics, community and values, race, and class, and engage with the cognizance of these dimensions in the prevalent discourse on Indian sexuality. Outlining the contours and main themes of sexuality studies in India, this volume will provide a strong foundation to this immensely important field.

In its origin and development, modernity is often simply associated with Western society and culture. Breaking from the mould, this volume explores modernity in the context of South Asia, particularly India, while drawing on a range of regional experiences. Probing inherited understandings of modernity, it approaches the phenomenon as at once local and global in nature. The chapters interrogate and examine: the association between modernity and India; how modernity is understood by people historically and in contemporary contexts; the many forms of its expression; and the wider conditions, limitations, and possibilities of modernity at the regional, national, and global levels. Combining a variety of disciplines and perspectives, this handbook unravels and interprets modernity as a contradictory and contested entity and process. Mapping prior routes and, at the same time, charting novel pathways, it emphasizes the role of modernity as a contending force in popular selfreckoning and distinct political agendas. Contributors Ian Bedford Vronique Bn Jaideep Chatterjee Prathama Banerjee Rohan Deb Roy Faisal Devji Saurabh Dube Atig Ghosh Bodhisattva Kar Townsend Middleton Anand Pandian Arvind Rajagopal Kalpana Ram Anupama Rao Mrinalini Sinha Ajay Skaria Sanjukta Sunderason Readership : The handbook will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, social anthropology, history, political science, and media and culture studies, especially those working on tradition, development, and globalization.
