This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Sociology - Social System and Social Structure, grade: 19/20, Aarhus School of Business, course: Education Civique / Sociale, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I try to analyse the fairness of Scheduled Classes’ access to education. The paper starts with giving some introductive information about the cast system. Putting together the findings of several academic articles, different factors are then discussed such as the literacy level and school attendance of Dalit Children, the discriminative behaviours they face, some other important variables, the governmental initiatives and the discrimination on the labour market. It appears clearly that caste membership is still an important discriminative factor with regards to Dalit children’s access to education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Society Is Highly Stratified With Many Glaring Inequalities Among The Different Social Groups. The Caste System Has Segregated The Dalits And Other Weaker Sections From The Rest Of The Society To An Extent That They Were Denied Even The Basic Human Rights.

Book excerpt: “What the Communist Manifesto is to the capitalist world, Annihilation of Caste is to India.” —Anand Teltumbde, author of The Persistence of Caste The classic work of Indian Dalit politics, reframed with an extensive introduction by Arundathi Roy B.R. Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste is one of the most important, yet neglected, works of political writing from India. Written in 1936, it is an audacious denunciation of Hinduism and its caste system. Ambedkar – a figure like W.E.B. Du Bois – offers a scholarly critique of Hindu scriptures, scriptures that sanction a rigidly hierarchical and iniquitous social system. The world’s best-known Hindu, Mahatma Gandhi, responded publicly to the provocation. The hatchet was never buried. Arundhati Roy introduces this extensively annotated edition of Annihilation of Caste in “The Doctor and the Saint,” examining the persistence of caste in modern India, and how the conflict between Ambedkar and Gandhi continues to resonate. Roy takes us to the beginning of Gandhi’s political career in South Africa, where his views on race, caste and imperialism were shaped. She tracks Ambedkar’s emergence as a major political figure in the national movement, and shows how his scholarship and intelligence illuminated a political struggle beset by sectarianism and obscurantism. Roy breathes new life into Ambedkar’s anti-caste utopia, and says that without a Dalit revolution, India will continue to be hobbled by systemic inequality.

Download or read book MGNREGA s Impact on the Empowerment of India s Marginalised Groups in the Labour Market written by Sithy Rabab Ghazali Hussain and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is a rights-based job guarantee program in India which is directed at the underprivileged populations of India, such as women, Scheduled Castes, and Scheduled Tribes, with the goal of reducing poverty and unemployment and providing them with a better empowered livelihood. However, since its inception it has been plagued by a slew of problems, raising strong reservations about its ability to achieve its stated goals. This thesis examines the lives of the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and women in India and within the Indian labour market. The success of MGNREGA in generating an empowered livelihood for marginalised populations is also examined in this study, utilising three criteria's: equitable implementation of the Act, MNREGA and Women's Empowerment, and the value of MGNREGA awareness in terms of empowerment. Through a series of case studies, this thesis argued that each state has its own set of difficulties, making no two states the same. It was also argued that the MGNREGA is far from realising its full potential because it is not executed equitably, does not empower women and the SC/ST across India as it should, is not gender sensitive, and does not have high levels of awareness in all states.
