Download or read book Village Life in South India written by Alan R. Beals and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional South Indian village pictures the entire universe as an entity in which all living things and human beings play a necessary and effective role. The stability of this worldview is based on a close relationship among human beings, grain crops, and cattle, which has permitted the continuous exploitation of agricultural lands over several centuries. Taken as a whole, the life of South Indian villagers represents a subtle and complicated adaptation to complex and variable environmental circumstances. It now faces the challenge of adjusting to modernization.After a fascinating description of the traditional South Indian worldview, Alan R. Beals describes the settlement patterns and social structures that characterize village life, the agricultural technology and ecology, and the techniques of population regulation that have traditionally operated to maintain appropriate man-to-land ratios. He then explains the relationships among villages, including marriage and economic exchanges, and the omnipresent influence of hierarchies of caste and social ranking.Over the past 2,000 years, South Indian civilization has undergone constant change and modification. Empires have risen and fallen, famine and plague have swept the land, and cities have been built and forgotten. But through all these years of change, the traditional South Indian village has maintained its basic character, adjusting to a variety of environments and countless conquests, yet always adhering to a single basic pattern of life. Village Life in South India, originally published in 1974, provides the reader not only with a still-valid description of a particular and distinctive way of life, but also with an explanation of how life is explained in ecological theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post India’s economic liberalization in the 1990s, the village ceased to be central to ongoing sociological concerns. As a result, the period saw a marginalization of rural life and agrarian economy in the national imagination. However, in the 21st century as India transforms, so does its rural life. This book revisits the realities of contemporary rural India, exploring the trajectories of change across regions such as those in rural economies, the relationship of villages to the outside world, and the dynamics of caste inequalities. The volume puts together 14 papers based on empirical studies carried out by sociologists, social anthropologists, and economists over the past 15 years to begin a holistic conversation on contemporary rural India which continues to be an important site of social, political, and economic activities. India’s Villages in the 21st Century stresses diversity as a fundamental structure of Indian economy and society and illustrates the point by focusing on the economies, patterns of settlements, and organization of social and political life in India’s villages.
Download or read book Mehinaku written by Thomas Gregor and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-02-06 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Gregor sees the Mehinaku Indians of central Brazil as performers of roles, engaged in an ongoing improvisational drama of community life. The layout of the village and the architecture of the houses make the community a natural theater in the round, rendering the villagers' actions highly visible and audible. Lacking privacy, the Mehinaku have become masters of stagecraft and impression management, enthusiastically publicizing their good citizenship while ingeniously covering up such embarrassments as extramarital affairs and theft.
Download or read book The Village Indian written by ʻAbbās Khiḍr and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part Odyssey of the Persian Gulf and part 1001 Nights in Europe, this debut novel is drawn from the author's experiences as a political prisoner and years as a refugee. Our hero Rasul Hamid describes the eight different ways that he fled his home in Iraq and the eight different ways he has failed to find himself a new way home. From Iraq via Northern Africa through Europe and back again, Abbas Khider deftly blends the tragic with the comic, and the grotesque with the ordinary, in order to tell the story of suffering the real and brutal dangers of life as a refugee--and to remember the haunting faces of those who did not survive the journey. This is a stunning piece of storytelling, a novel of unusual scope that brings to life the endless cycle of illegal entry and deportation that defines life for a vulnerable population living on the margins of legitimate society. Translated by Donal McLaughlin, The Village Indian provides what every good translation should: a literary looking glass between two cultures, between two places, between East and West.

Download or read book The Making of a Village written by Asoka Kumar Sen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-06-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of a Village examines the social and cultural life of indigenous peoples in India. It unfolds intimate aspects of Adivasi history such as the birth of a village, its demographic formation, forging of social relations, in- and out-migration, and the dialectics of the village as a socio-physical space during precolonial and colonial periods. Drawing on oral, archival and empirical data from eastern India, it highlights the interconnected themes of inflection of identity; the change of the Adivasis from historic agents to colonial subjects and their arcadia to a servile landscape; and the indigenous notion of state. It also initiates a dialogue between the past and present to bring into sharp relief ideas of village community, indigeneity, migration, governance, colonialism, agency, subjecthood, rural change, environment and ecology. Redefining the study of rural sociology in South Asia, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern Indian history, politics, development studies, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, Adivasi and indigenous studies, and South Asian studies.
Download or read book Indian Villages written by Gilbert Étienne and published by Graduate Institute Publications. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a unique testimony on the evolution of the Indian peasant's world over more than sixty years. Its originality lies in part in the unique trajectory of its author, Gilbert Étienne, an exceptional man, all at once scientific traveller, thinker of the North/South relationships and economist concerned by sociology and history inputs. In unfolding the story of his passionate relationship with India, the author offers a very personal look which takes into account not only crop diversification and production techniques, but also local anthropological structures and the conditions of the various castes, including the lowest ones. With its approximately 100 pages, the book is sometimes reminiscent of a collection of vignettes and impressions gathered while travelling, such as can be found in field notes. Here lies the strength of this unusual work, especially as the "things-seen" dimension is completed by penetrating reflections on the transformations of an agrarian society discovering modern consumer goods, on a comparison between France in 1946 and India today, and on the causes and consequences of contempt for agriculture in a country whose elites swear by cities, as Christophe Jaffrelot said. This book is the latest publication of Professor Gilbert Etienne, written before his death in May 2014.

Download or read book Nandi Village written by Primnath Gooptar and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nandi Village is an imaginary small, rustic, quiet village located somewhere in Central Trinidad where people live frugally, and cows, goats and donkeys graze in the open savannahs. Many of the houses are thatched roof, mud-walled, earthen floor dwellings. One main road runs through the village in a North-South direction connecting it to other nearby villages. Nandi Village stretches for about two miles and is surrounded by other similar Indian villages. The main means of transport to and from the village is by bull carts. In the heart of the Village is a meeting of five roads which gives the area the name Five Roads Junction. This center of the village is home to three shops, a few houses and an open space for recreational activities. Several other minor side roads lead off from the main thoroughfare. The Malloo River runs in an easterly direction through the village and is the place where the women gather to wash their clothes. There are two wells in the village where its citizens get their potable water. A government hand-pump is affixed to one of the wells to assist villagers in retrieving water from the well.Most of the people in the village came to the island as Indian indentured immigrants. They moved here with their offspring from the barracks on the sugar estates where they once worked and lived. After their tenure at the barracks, some acquired their lands in exchange for the promise of their passage back to India, but most bought theirs. Others, on the urgings of the estate owners, squatted on what they called "government free lands." Eventually, a community of Indians developed on the outskirts of the estate, a matter that was beneficial to the estate owners as they continued to have access to a local labour force from which they augmented the labourers who remained estate bound. The community came to be called Nandi Village because of the first pundit-Nandi Pundit-who settled there with the villagers.Like most such communities, the Nandi community is made up mainly of Hindus (85%), Muslims (12%) and a few Christians. Among them are several surviving indentured immigrants who, as those before them, tried to re-create from memory the life they lived in India. In doing so, they practised their culture and religion and passed it on to their descendants.There is a village panchayat consisting of five elderly men which dispensed 'Indian justice' to the villagers, without the interference of the legal authorities. Often, village disputes tried at the local courts were usually sent back to the panchayat for their final determination, which gave the panchayat the force of law in the community. A Hindi interpreter relayed such decisions to the magistrate, who usually rubber-stamped the panchayat's verdict.Most of the stories in this book are set in this village right after the end of indentureship and span the fifty years from the time the last indentured worker was finally free in 1920 right down to 1970. The stories attempt to capture life in those times and will surely evoke nostalgia in older readers and might educate younger ones about their past.Nandi Village mixes folklore, history and creativity with village life and forces us to reflect on our past while reigniting memories of growing up with the kerosene lamps, village banter and rural life styles. Some of the major characters who will evoke such outcomes are Ranjit Kumar, the pundit, Rajesh Persad, his father Ram Persad, Ram Persad's wife Kowsil; Rajesh's girlfriend, Shanti, the three shop keepers Baboolal, Bahadoor and Chin, the cinema, the folks in the village kutiya and the panchayat among others.

Download or read book The Changing Village in India written by Himanshu and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While India has had a long history of village studies, longitudinal studies that have followed the same village or set of villages over time have a special place in the literature on transformation of economic production and social structures in rural areas. This book brings together aspects of change in rural India through recent research based on longitudinal village studies. The revival of village studies in recent years is a testimony to their usefulness in providing answers to questions that elude the narrow confines of mainstream theory and large-scale surveys. The book addresses three broad areas of concern: the first relates to the method and conceptual framework of longitudinal village studiesahow information is collected and the ways in which it is used and analysed; the second aims at a broad understanding of villages across different dimensions of economy and society, offering wide and integrated accounts of particular villages; and the third explores particular themes in some detail within this broader framework. By bringing together different contributions from the tradition of longitudinal village studies, the book addresses a range of analytical and policy issues, highlights the problems and potentials of the longitudinal method, and encourages more work in this tradition.
