This Book Seeks To Test Distress Diversification Against Growth Linkages To Explain The Propensity Of Rural People To Be Involved In Rural Non-Farm Employment As A Primary Income Source. This Is Done Through (A) District Level And (B) Household Level Regressions Of The Total Proportion Of Rural Non-Farm Employment (Rnfe) And Rnfe Share By Sub-Sectors In Andhra Pradesh (Ap), India. Ap Has India S Highest, And Rising, Age/Gender-Specific And Overall Work-Force Participation Rates, Especially Female And Child. These Rates Coexist With A Rising Percentage Of Rural Workers In Agriculture (In Contrast To All-India) And With A Smaller Share Of Rnfe In The Rural Workforce Relative To All-India. These Facts Appear To Be Linked To Ap S Unemployment (Higher, Rising Faster, Than Elsewhere). The Central Hypothesis Is: There Are Two Sorts Of Rnfe, Traditional And Modern. A High Traditional Rnfe Share (And Its Growth) Is Associated With Distress Diversification. A High Modern Rnfe Share (And Its Growth) Is Associated With Rural Growth Linkages From Agriculture . Using District Level Data, The Analysis Reveals That Variations In Irrigation, Farm Size, Literacy, Urbanisation, Commercialisation, Infrastructure And Poverty Are Significantly Associated With Variations In Rnfe. Household Level Primary Data Collected For 2 Villages In 1993-94, Also Reveals That A Range Of Demographic And Economic Variables Are Associated With Inter-Household Variations In Rnfe, Some Of Which Coincide With Those Identified In The Inter-District Analysis. They Include: Farm Size, Education, Farm Output, Caste, Migration In, Seasonality, Skills, Poverty, Household Head S Age, And Family Size. Case Studies Of Individual Households Reveal That Rnfe Often Faces Financial Problems For Working Capital, Insufficient Earnings, And Inability To Cope With Technological Changes. The Data Analysis Supports The Hypothesis That Growth Linkages Are The Main Explanation For High Shares In, And The Growth Of, Modern Rnfe, And Distress Diversification For Traditional Rnfe. It Also Demonstrates A Strong, Significant Association Between Traditional Rnfe And Low Literacy And Modern Rnfe And High Literacy. Government Self-Employment Schemes As Well As The Development Of Agricultural Infrastructure, E.G. Irrigation, And Improvements In Rural Educational Standards Are Therefore Policies Likely To Accelerate The Growth Of Rnfe Shares.
This title was first published in 2003. Since independence in 1947, India has undergone a phase of rapid urbanization. New planning laws have been passed, new organizations established, public policy documents and discussion papers prepared and a host of land and housing schemes have been implemented. Still, however, the vast majority of urban expansion is an unplanned process that takes the form of squatting and illegal or semi-legal land subdivision. By looking in detail at two rapidly growing cities in Andhra Pradesh (Vijayawada and Viaskhapatnam) this book explores cultural, physical-spatial, political and economic determinants of the allocation of urban land and of urban growth in India in historical context. It focuses on the interplay between the government and the organizations in charge of their implementation, and the private sector on the other. Special attention is given to the conditions of the urban poor, with the changes in their socio-economic conditions.
This book presents numerous discussions of specific aspects of democratic politics, showing how ‘democracy’ can be projected as a model of deliberate imperfection – a model that tolerates various loose ends in the system – and how democracy recognizes a multiplicity of possible courses open to the system at any point in time. Against this backdrop, the book carefully analyzes the lifetime work of D.L. Sheth, which, seen as a whole, offers us with a theory of Indian politics. The selection of fifteen essays has been clustered into five sections that signify the major domains of democratic politics: State, Nation, Democracy; Parapolitics of Democracy; Social Power and Democracy; Representation in Liberal Democracy; and Emerging Challenges of Democracy. These essays give a sense of the transformations and struggles that are underway in India, brought about by the dynamics of democratic politics. Each of the fifteen chapters focuses on one aspect, providing a unique analysis of the deepening of democracy in India.

The book is an ethnographic exploration of how ‘democracy’ takes social and cultural roots in India and in the process shapes the nature of popular politics. It centres on a historically marginalised caste who in recent years has become one of the most assertive and politically powerful communities in North India: the Yadavs. The Vernacularisation of Democracy is a vivid account of how Indian popular democracy works on the ground. Challenging conventional theories of democratisation the book shows how the political upsurge of 'the lower orders' is situated within a wider process of the vernacularisation of democratic politics, referring to the ways in which values and practices of democracy become embedded in particular cultural and social practices, and in the process become entrenched in the consciousness of ordinary people. During the 1990s, Indian democracy witnessed an upsurge in the political participation of lower castes/communities and the emergence of political leaders from humble social backgrounds who present themselves as promoters of social justice for underprivileged communities. Drawing on a large body of archival and ethnographic material the author shows how the analysis of local idioms of caste, kinship, kingship, popular religion, ‘the past’ and politics (‘the vernacular’) inform popular perceptions of the political world and of how the democratic process shapes in turn ‘the vernacular’. This line of enquiry provides a novel framework to understand the unique experience of Indian democracy as well as democratic politics and its meaning in other contemporary post-colonial states. Using as a case study the political ethnography of a powerful northern Indian caste (the Yadavs) and combining ethnographic material with colonial and post-colonial history the book examines the unique experience of Indian popular democracy and provides a framework to analyse popular politics in other parts of the world.

The complete alienation of Dalits from resources like land, water, and agricultural implements has led to the collective demand for an equal share in productivity. This book discusses the range of socio-economic and cultural problems faced by the Dalit community. The movement advancing the rights of Dalits took place both before and after independence, however they varied in intensity, and concerned land ownership and fair wages, self-respect, social dignity, and the demand for equal rights. This movement appeared to have significantly changed the very mindset and attitude of upper caste people to restrain themselves and not to resort to any discrimination or humiliation of Dalits. However, this seems to have been only a temporary phenomenon, and the practice of suppression and humiliation continues today. This book explores the circumstances of Dalits in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, and the current efforts attempting to achieve more social equality for the caste here.
