Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book elaborates on the aspects of Health conditions of the communities suffered for generations. The case is given for Hadi Caste and an occupational group as a special focus and Bauri Caste at certain point of reference. The book is primarily based on the fieldwork conducted as a part of M. Phil Programme in JNU. The experience of the researcher in the field adds as strength to the elaboration on morbidity and health perception of Dalits. The state of Jharkhand has been the age old land for the Hadis, one of the Schedule Castes list in the Census of India documents and they comprise special chunk of population. The occupation, customs, rituals, social interaction and many more aspects has been added in the book to enhance the generalization capability of the present work and that describe the socio-cultural and political interaction between health and life status of the Hadi community. The book also looked into the health of the studied population from the public health perspectives. The traditional occupational group like Hadis does help us to build the understanding about accessibility and availability of health services in India. The experiences of illness not describe the reality rather the long term impact occurs due to the community experiences at health centers and hospitals. The elaboration on these dalits castes reflects the historically committed mistake in the larger spectrum of Hindu caste society in India. How the occupation and caste becomes the only identity of a social groups and that leads to several consequences affecting the basic and fundamental rights of the deprived populations. This does not discuss one kind of exclusion based on Caste and occupation but the Systemic or constitutive exclusion carried years all together. They are experienced at social, cultural, political and economic fronts because it is complex and multi-dimensional in nature. Interestingly, my book also looks upon the problem of fieldworker and provides an account of researchers talk in the field. This will help all the research bases and initiatives focusing the caste and occupation as their variables. Precisely, this book covers the wider spectrum of Indian society and a few section of the population living in distress health situations given the cultural set up interwoven in Hindu society. The multidisciplinary nature of the book will be helpful for the students and researchers from sociology, anthropology, public health, historical and political studies, demography, social work and Gender studies, Social Exclusion in particular and humanities in general. This book is another addition of my earlier book on Dimensions of Social Exclusion: an ethnographic exploration.

Download or read book Caste COVID 19 and Inequalities of Care written by Sanghmitra S. Acharya and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how social discrimination in South Asia contributes to health disparities and impedes well-being. Specifically, it addresses how marginalization shapes health outcomes, both under normal circumstances and specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming from diverse backgrounds and representing different academic disciplines, the authors have contributed a range of chapters drawing from quantitative and ethnographic material across South Asia. Chapters address reservation politics, tribal lifeways, Dalit exclusions from governmental institutions, Muslim ghettoization, gendered domestic violence, social determinants of health among migrant workers, and the pandemic fallout across South Asian society, among other subjects. Scholars draw on decades of experience and firsthand ethnographic fieldwork among affected communities. The chapters provide an innovative analysis, often in real time, of the human toll of casteism, classism, patriarchy, and religious intolerance—many set against the spectre of COVID-19. Many authors not only present social critiques but also offer specific policy recommendations. The book is of great interest to social scientists, public health practitioners, and policy advocates interested in addressing systemic inequalities and ensuring that future pandemics are not disproportionately felt by the most vulnerable.

Download or read book Untouchability in Rural India written by Ghanshyam Shah and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006-08-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book presents systematic evidence of the incidence and extent of the practice of untouchability in contemporary India. It is based on the results of a very large survey covering 560 villages in eleven states. The field data is supplemented by information concerning associated forms of discrimination which Dalits face in their daily lives./-//-/This study finds that untouchability is practised in one form or another in almost 80 per cent of the villages surveyed. It is most prevalent in the religious and personal spheres. While the evidence presented in this book suggests that the more blatant and extreme forms of untouchability appear to have declined, discrimination is still practised in one form or another. The most widespread manifestations are in access to water and to cremation or burial grounds, as also when it comes to the major life cycle rituals. The survey also found that the notion of untouchability continues to pervade the public sphere, including in a host of state institutions and the interactions that occur within them.

A major study, the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of education, sociology and social anthropology, development studies and South Asian studies.

Download or read book Caste Matters written by Suraj Yengde and published by India Viking. This book was released on 2019 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this explosive book, Suraj Yengde, a first-generation Dalit scholar educated across continents, challenges deep-seated beliefs about caste and unpacks its many layers. He describes his gut-wrenching experiences of growing up in a Dalit basti, the multiple humiliations suffered by Dalits on a daily basis, and their incredible resilience enabled by love and humour. As he brings to light the immovable glass ceiling that exists for Dalits even in politics, bureaucracy and judiciary, Yengde provides an unflinchingly honest account of divisions within the Dalit community itself-from their internal caste divisions to the conduct of elite Dalits and their tokenized forms of modern-day untouchability-all operating under the inescapable influences of Brahminical doctrines. This path-breaking book reveals how caste crushes human creativity and is disturbingly similar to other forms of oppression, such as race, class and gender. At once a reflection on inequality and a call to arms, Caste Matters argues that until Dalits lay claim to power and Brahmins join hands against Brahminism to effect real transformation, caste will continue to matter.

Download or read book Health Inequities in India written by T.K. Sundari Ravindran and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely contribution to the global literature on health inequities approaches the subject through a synthesis and analysis of relevant published literature on India. Amongst the BRICS countries, India ranks the lowest in the gender-gap index and has the highest poverty rate, and there is clear evidence that socio-economic inequalities have increased in India in the twenty-first century. These have direct impact on the health conditions of its people; however, there has been relatively little concerted research attention on health inequities in India. This volume fills the gap by synthesizing research evidence since the year 2000 on the topic. This is perhaps the first volume on this topic of such scope and breadth. Its uniqueness lies in the synthesis of evidence across a range of axes of disadvantages within a single volume: socio-economic position, caste, gender, other socially constructed vulnerabilities such as disability, HIV status, migrant status; and health-system factors contributing to or mitigating inequities in health. Each core chapter not only summarizes research findings but also engages critically with the perspectives reflected in the chapters and proposes a framework for understanding the mechanisms through which health inequities result. This volume highlights and addresses research gaps in both methodology and content, and is valuable to researchers and students of public health and allied health disciplines, including the social sciences, and also to policy makers and donors.
Download or read book Deceptive Majority written by Joel Lee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that India is a Hindu majority nation rests on the assumption that the vast swath of its population stigmatized as 'untouchable' is, and always has been, in some meaningful sense, Hindu. But is that how such communities understood themselves in the past, or how they understand themselves now? When and under what conditions did this assumption take shape, and what truths does it conceal? In this book, Joel Lee challenges presuppositions at the foundation of the study of caste and religion in South Asia. Drawing on detailed archival and ethnographic research, Lee tracks the career of a Dalit religion and the effort by twentieth-century nationalists to encompass it within a newly imagined Hindu body politic. A chronicle of religious life in north India and an examination of the ethics and semiotics of secrecy, Deceptive Majority throws light on the manoeuvres by which majoritarian projects are both advanced and undermined.
