This book studies caste and community dynamics in India and offers a critical view of social mobility from below. Building on the theories of the eminent sociologist M N Srinivas, the essays in this volume reformulate the debate on caste as they document the changing inter-caste dynamics and caste-based violence in contemporary India. The volume showcases the new language of change in caste relations, articulated mostly from the perspective of the marginalised as experiences, differences, contestations, assertions and as citizenship rights. It focusses on the clash between traditional structures of inequality and the ideals of equality and justice in a liberal, democratic India. It also highlights the persistence of caste and endogamy and the interlocking nature of caste, gender and disability, struggles of ethnic groups and informal workers in the market economy, discrimination in the labour market and the dissolution of dissent in the public sphere. With contributions from leading scholars of social change and development in India and abroad, this volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, minority and subaltern studies, and development studies.
The Main Focus Of The Work Has Been On The Agrarian Relations Of The Zomi Of Manipur, An Ethnic Group Formerly Known As The Chin-Kuki-Mizo Groups Living In The Southern Parts Of Manipur Hills Bordering Myanmar And The Mizoram State Of India. Virtually Isolated And Backward, The Agrarian Relations Prevailing In The Zomi Economy Are Conspicuous By The Overriding Influence Of The Traditional Chieftainship. Jhum Cultivation Or Slash And Burn Have Been The Mainstay Of The Economy In Spite Of Not Being Able To Meet The Increasing Demand Of The Ever-Growing Population. The Book, Inter Alia, Analyses The Expensive And Destructive Character Of Jhum In The Light Of The Scarce Land Mass Available For Cultivation. It Also Takes Into Account Its Long-Term Ecological Impact Over The Entire Resources Of The Economy.It Also Looks Into The Deteriorating Condition Of The Farmers Or Cultivators Who Had No Rights Over The Land They Cultivate. The Book Shows How And Why Such Jhum Cultivation Of The Land Has Increasingly Led To Meager Yield Per Acre As Well As Labour.Besides, The Volume Makes An Analytical Study Of Land As An Important Resource Input Particularly For An Agricultural Economy. The Effect And Implementation Of The Manipur Land Revenue & Land Reforms Act 1960 Respectively In The Valley And Hill Areas Of The State Was Also Treated Rather Comprehensively. Similarly, A Chapter Is Devoted To Examine The Extent Of Rural Poverty And Unemployment In India A Whole. As A Result Of The Sample Survey Conducted For The Purpose, The Book Clearly Shows The Magnitude And Widespread Nature Of Poverty In The Economy (Zomi Economy).Another Feature Of The Book Is The Attempt It Makes To Review Related Literatures On The Agrarian Relations As A Whole. For Planners And Decision Makers The Book Will Be Of Immense Help So Far As Rural Development Planning Decision Is Concerned.
