Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Migrant workers are a central part of India's society and economy today. But while there has been some discussion and analysis of the experiences of male migrant workers, the conditions faced by women workers have received less attention. In this comparative study across three states Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and Delhi we found that the oppression faced by migrant women casual workers is extreme and should have no place in a modern society. The study also examines some possible ways forward out of this situation.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Rashrtiya Swayamsevak Sangh and its affiliated groups - usually known as the "Sangh Parivar" - are the most powerful organisations in India today. But as what they stand for, and you will get two very different answers. Starting with the RSS' own texts, and exploring its history and the relationship between its beliefs and Indian politics, the book tries to answer two key questions: what does RSS and its affiliated groups actually stand for, and what does their rise mean for India's future? Based in Dehradun, Shankar Gopalakrishnan is affiliated to Chetna Andolan, a mass organisation based in Uttarakhand. He has been working with organisations fighting for human rights and social justice for the last two decades. He has also written extensively on development, workers' rights, contemporary history, natural resources, the environment and other issues. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Migration is a central part of India society today. However, despite the importance of migration to India's economy, and an increasing number of studies and media reports, the debate around migration in the country has remained conceptually limited. In this study, our focus is on addressing two lacunae: the geographical limitations of prior literature and the lack of attention to migrants' own political consciousness. Our study covered three field areas - one urban conglomeration where migration has already been studied to some degree, namely Delhi; and two areas where migration has received almist no academic attention, namely the city of Dehradun in Uttarakhand and the districts of Coimbatore and Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu. In all three areas we sought to examine both primary and secondary data to understand both the working conditions of migrations and the political dynamics that develop around them. (jacket).

From the foreword: This study forms part of an Asia-wide research initiative by ILO and AIPP which seeks to examine the extent to which the legal frameworks of key Asian countries impact on, and protect the rights of, indigenous and tribal peoples. It is hoped that this work, in addition to increasing awareness on this important issue, will contribute in the long run to the development and implementation of enabling policy and legal frameworks for the protection of the rights of these groups, who remain among the most marginalised and vulnerable in all countries where they live. Experience from across the world has shown that sustained denial of indigenous peoples rights leads to conflict and instability, which impacts severely on national development. India is no different. Concrete and sincere measures, as well as new approaches, are needed in order to uphold the social cultural, economic and political integrity of India's scheduled tribes and to prevent their further alimentation from the state. Such action would also go a long way in terms of ensuring equitable and sustainable development for the nation as a whole.
