summary:
  The text is among the first critical feminist interventions and push-backs on the dominant discourse of caste that views caste as a consensual rather than oppressive system that encompasses the economic, social, cultural, and political realm of Indian society, wherein ‘caste ideology denies subjectivity to the Dalits by depriving them of dignity and personhood.’ It draws much needed attention to the fact that while ‘the law maintained its monopoly to punish crimes it did not displace the monopoly of dominant caste to rape, parade, and kill Dalit women.’

summary:
  When majorities institute this distinction by ‘projecting, irrationally, smelliness, hyper-animality, and hyper-sexuality’ onto other minority groups, the majority creates an illusory distance from its own ‘animality’ and ‘mortality.’ This critical addition of the category of ‘disgust’ sheds new light on traditional research in law and social policy to examine modalities of social exclusion and therefore, ways to craft sound recommendations to mitigate or eliminate them.

  While Morton Klass’s analysis about the smallest endogamous unit of ‘marriage- circle’ in explaining the origin of caste-system in India may be anthropologically correct, it fails to or does not choose to engage with the implications of a common man’s perception of caste as undifferentiated group that goes a long way in lending to caste system in India an overall notion of naturalness that is difficult to dispel. The fact that the original ideal of four divisions of classes of people according to their distinct calling has already evolved into thousands of castes shows that chaturvarna has no other way except for denigrating into caste system.

  ‘Traditional professions’ that lower caste Muslims had practised in the qasbas (market oriented towns of the gentry/Nawabs) of Lucknow such as rickshaw pullers, tongawallas (carriage drivers), ghasals (those who bathe dead bodies), gorkuns (undertakers) pheriwalaas (roaming vendors), brass band players, kaanmailiya (ear wax fixers), malishiya (massagers), weavers in traditional zardozi and chikankari handicrafts, leather tanners and even hijras (hermaphrodites/eunuchs ) witnessed an accelerated decline in their professions as they lost their patronage as protected and recognised groups working for elite Muslim local cultural economies when the country transitioned from a colonial to a post-colonial economy (Hasnain, 2016). Mohammed Shahabuddin Querishi, a resident of the severely neglected Ballochpura mohalla in Lucknow, populated by mostly Dalit-Muslims remembered: Unlike elite Muslims, the Partition was never an incentive for us to migrate to Pakistan as our local business [as butchers] was here, and we did not want the stigma of muhajirs29 in addition to being lower caste Muslims there.

The forms of servitude, which involves the slaves captured in war or the enslaved people born in masters’ houses, or those reduced to slaves due to their caste, are some of the dominant forms of slavery that existed in the ancient time instead of bondage labour.

In the name of reporting caste issues, journalists reach villages to cover the atrocities but fail to see Brahminical hegemony in the urban spaces.

The specific focus remains to read the internal contradictions haunting the elementary aspects of thinking caste: purity and touch.

These observations, no doubt, indicate the efforts of certain missionaries to abolish caste inequalities and to bring lower castes like Chakkiliyar, Paraiyar, Pallar, and Shanar into the Church and its educational institutions.

Tracing the origins of Dalit autobiography in the writings of Siddharth College and Milind College students in the 1950s, protest writers in the 1960s, and the Dalit Panthers and their followers in the 1970s, the survey identifies recurring themes of social exclusion, poverty, patriarchy, survival and assertion in the realms of politics, employment, education, and religion.

Caste in such making always operated as an anomaly, as the western ideals of equality, liberty, and fraternity stood absolutely against the logic of hierarchy and predetermination that caste stood for, and therefore newer ways of justifying caste-system were sought.

The paper continues to explore how Ambedkar conceives relations between philosophy and religion, and how historical shifts in general human consciousness have occurred whereby altering both fields.

summary:
  From a standpoint of social justice, this paper attempts to draw out the profound implications of one of Ambedkar’s last studies prior to his death, and argues for the centrality of both philosophy and the philosophy of religion in Ambedkar studies in general. We can say that at the outset of this commentary on Ambedkar studies of caste and social exclusion, for Ambedkar, it does not.7 In asking what makes caste a self-perpetuating, malignant form of social exclusion, stratification, inequality, and injustice that persists within society through religion, we must embark on a journey into Ambedkar’s investigations on the ‘philosophy of religion.’

Given that public health services are the only options for marginalized groups including low caste groups, when low caste service providers cannot ensure health services within their own community due to dominance of other socio-cultural norms, this is a challenge for achieving inclusion in the health services.

  Through a Right to Information Act file, it was learned that in the viva-voce portion of the exam, lower caste students were given 1 or 2 and sometimes 0 points. In other words, universities are becoming “socially toxic” spaces for lower caste students.

The question that began to pre-occupy Periyar was this: why was it that the anti-colonial nationalist movement that polemised extensively about poverty and degradation of masses was unable to address social inequality as manifested in caste, which for Periyar was the single greatest threat to national unity.

  Barishaler Jogen Mandal: Construal of the Undisputed Dalit Leader of Undivided Bengal through a Twenty-first Century Bengali Novel

summary:
  While they remained emotionally connected to the community and wished for their own people’s betterment, their political activities failed to identify Dalit agendas or promote Dalit political solidarity. I intend to present my reading of the novel in four interconnected but thematically divided sub-sections dealing with the author’s conceptualisation of sudra identity as being defined and redefined in history in terms of social and political structures of power (and powerlessness); Dalit politics in relation to nationalistic political formulations; distinctiveness of J.N. Mandal’s political thought; and the eventual failure of his political line in the backdrop of War and Famine-ridden Bengal during the final years of transfer of power.

  Indeed, especially practitioners have commended that the Act sees manual scavenging as a social justice rather than sanitation issue, that “it recognizes a constitutional obligation to correct the historical injustice and indignity suffered by manual scavenging communities by providing alternate livelihoods and other assistance” (Human Rights Watch, 2014, p. 5), and that it “explicitly adopts an understanding that manual scavenging is [...] against the spirit and essence of the Constitution of India” (Koonan, 2021, p. 157). In this article, we argue that manual scavenging and the 2013 Act which prohibits it are unconstitutional as they violate human dignity, the prohibition against untouchability, and the right to life enshrined in the Constitution of India.

  The Exclusion of Bahujan Schoolchildren: An Anti-Caste Critique of the National Education Policy 2020, India

summary:
  Keywords Education, caste, NEP 2020, exclusion, Bahujan, educational inequality, caste and education, Ambedkar, Phule, schooling, school education, social reproduction Introduction In 1882, Jotirao Phule addressed the Hunter Commission (formally, the Indian Education Commission), airing the concern that the (British) government’s education policies served the wellbeing of ‘Brahmins and the higher classes only’ and left ‘the masses wallowing in ignorance and poverty’ (Deshpande, 2002, p. 103). More specifically, I’m using Bahujan as an umbrella term representing the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) cutting across religion, ethnicities and geographies, as well as Denotified Tribes (DNTs), Nomadic Tribes (NTs) and Seminomadic Tribes (SNTs).2 While a growing body of scholarship has accentuated higher education institutions as sites of exclusion for marginalised castes (see: Subramanian, 2019; Sukumar, 2023), there has been relatively less emphasis on school education.

  But this aspect of Kerala history, the Buddhist past and the conflict between Buddhism and Brahminism, has never been a concern of the mainstream historiographers of Kerala. In other words, the mainstream historiography of Kerala systematically erases the Dalit and other lower caste populations from the purview of history.

  Through Goffman’s idea, Satyanarayana and Lee write, “the impression management framework reminds us that caste concealment is but one of many interrelated modes of self-fashioning in everyday life, and that its operations significantly overlap with the everyday performance of selfhood and belonging in terms of gender, class, religion, sexuality, occupation and other axes of identity” (p. 16). What insights can we gain from Dalit writing on caste concealment and vice versa from the CONCEALING CASTE:

  Feminist Pedagogy and Peer Relations in Women’s Studies Classrooms: Reflections on Caste Inequalities in Indian Higher Education

summary:
  The divide became even more charged and bitter when a Dalit male professor was accused of making sexist remarks by upper caste women students. Certainly the experiences of women students from marginalised castes would be marked by intersectional oppression, however this did not come through in my fieldwork as both men and women students from marginalised caste positions were focused on the caste-based tensions in their classrooms.

  The admission of the Government of Nepal of the problem of caste discrimination against Dalits in their country and their willingness to have the issue squarely addressed in the WCAR was very encouraging to those who were raising the issue of caste discrimination.18 The United Nations Commission on Human Rights, acting as the Preparatory Committee for WCAR commissioned the International Human Rights Law Group led by Dr. Gay McDougal to prepare a draft agenda for the WCAR conference. Specifically pointing out the context of women and children of these communities who were distinctly vulnerable to brutal forms of violence, the NGO Conference recognized the role and task of individual states and the UN as a body to eradicate work and descent- based discrimination, including caste discrimination and untouchability.

(2012) highlights that proponent of organic memory link memory and heredity, suggesting humans inherit memory from ancestors and society inherits the memory of The Promise of Memory: Politics of Memory and Caste Inequality in Collective Memory 205 Identity, Memory and ‘Counter Memory’ Scholars of memory studies have noted that “(c)ontestation clearly is at the centre of both memory and identity” (Olick & Robbins 1998: 126). The core argument is that Dalits are unequally placed as an entity in the caste-based memory structure of collective memory; this unequal placement of Dalits is carefully constructed and mobilized by the dominant castes.

  The pre-colonial non-Hindu identity of Dalit castes and their historical identity as a broken people of untouchable past was selectively appropriated by the nationalist discourses to reform Hindu society by eradicating untouchability. This provided new possibilities to engage with the Dalit historical past and the lived experiences with the politics of democratic equality of Ambedkar in the Kerala Dalit movement.

Resistance in the everyday life of Dalit women includes how they challenge the existing public spaces, cultural norms, and practices through the creation of a ‘subaltern counterpublics’ space.

  I primarily wanted to speak to upper caste students to understand their journeys from their respective schools to college, their experience in college and how they navigate different counters of a college life. I do not want to dismiss, if not assert vigorously, the possibility of upper caste students’ behaviour as caste entitlement.

  Thus, on the basis of this latter etymological meaning, and also on Jetor: An Unrecognized Interstitial Caste Community in West Bengal, India 455 the basis of a popular myth of their origination from water, one meaning of the word ‘Jator/Jatord’ is caste people who are ‘borne by water current’. In fact, the denomination ‘Jetor’ which the Jetor people accept only half-heartedly (the young generation in Jetor community do not like the denomination at all because it smacks of social stigma) was invented either by the elderly members of the Jetor community or by the so called ‘upper caste’ people who considered them to be their social ‘inferiors’.

  Ambedkar’s desire for religious conversion in his delivered speech on 31 May 1936 at the Yeola Conference encouraged his fellow Dalits to leave Hinduism. Dalit Consciousness and Religious Conversion To articulate the relationship between Dalit consciousness and religious conversion, one needs to begin with the positioning of Dalits and their historically marginalized position in Hinduism.

While the book has limitations in scope and comparative reach, it stands as a significant contribution to caste studies, urban sociology, and the wider quest for social justice in India and beyond.

  Perspectives on Caste and Militant Tamil Nationalism in Sri Lanka: The LTTE and Resistance Against Vellalah Hegemony

summary:
  See Sivasegaram, 2008. 14“C. that in the state of Tamil Eelam caste shall be abolished and the observance of the pernicious practice of untouchability or inequality of any type based on birth shall be totally eradicated and its observance in any form punished by law.” It sheds light on the interplay between LTTE-led militant nationalism and Tamil caste dynamics by focusing on Vellalah interpretations of the movement’s efforts to overturn caste, and how this project was perceived to be a deliberate deconstruction of longstanding Vellalah hegemony.7 By focusing on Vellalah interpretations of this phenomenon, the work draws attention to an understudied dynamic within Tamil nationalist debates: resistance to the hegemonic position of the Vellalah.
