Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book is a focused and systematic documentation of the incidence and extent of the practice of untouchability in India. Based on the results of a large survey during 2001-2002, covering 565 villages in 11 states, it reveals that untouchability continues to be widely prevalent and is practised in one form or another in almost 80 per cent of the villages. Field data is supplemented by information about the forms of discrimination which Dalits face in everyday life, such as: The 'unclean' occupations open to them The double burden of Dalit women, who suffer both gender and caste discrimination The upper-caste violence with which any Dalit self-assertion is met The authors also describe Dalit efforts to overcome deeply entrenched caste hierarchies and assert their right to live with dignity. While the evidence presented here suggests that the more blatant and extreme forms of untouchability appear to have declined, discrimination continues and is most prevalent in the religious and personal spheres. The authors show that the notion of untouchability continues to pervade the public sphere, including a host of state institutions and the interactions that occur within them. Recommended reading for all those interested in social and political rights, and particularly students of sociology and social anthropology.…

Scientific analysis of correlation between natural factors and annual festivals around the globe/Bal Ram Singh and Kalyan Chakravarthi. Index. This presentation of Vedic and Upanisadic ideas of understanding and Ahimsa addresses some of the most urgent global problems in today's world. The scholarly articles elaborate on principles of Ahimsa as practised by the Buddhist and Jain traditions and by Mahatma Gandhi. Here scholars from India and other parts of Asia as well as the west explore the scientific and systematic nature of life of the Vedic people. They examine aspects relating to linguistics the Indian epic literature and Advaita and study many individual topics like state of consciousness in Indian philosophy and concept of time in Indian heritage. They delve into the meaning and message of the Upanisads as extremely relevant to us in the present century. A study examines festivals to determine the correlation between annual festivals and natural factors and conducts a scientific analysis that establishes a relation between lunar phases and human physiology and more generally the relation between calendar and culture. The thought provoking articles present insights into the vision of Dharmic traditions for nourishing mutual appreciation and respect among religious traditions. They also reveal the abuses and distortions that the tradition has suffered from within over the ages and call for a scientific analysis of human traditions so that their time tested values can prove relevant to the present day. 846 pp.…
