This book explores the complex relationship between government officials and non-official actors in the administration of the Panchayati Raj system. It analyzes the political dynamics that shape local governance, focusing on the Panchayati Raj's three-tier structure?village, block, and district?and the electoral processes that include constitutionally mandated reservations for women and marginalized communities. The study delves into how power is shared, negotiated, and often contested between elected representatives and the state bureaucracy. It also highlights the ways in which administrative procedures influence political decision-making and how these interactions reflect the broader socio-political landscape of rural India.

Dr. Ambedkar left behind a legacy that still breathes life into the struggle for equality. His work for Dalit women was a symphony of hope and transformation, an ode to their potential and commitment to their emancipation. Today, as we stand on the shoulders of his ideals, let us remember his efforts not as mere historical anecdotes, but as a torch that guides us in the unending journey towards a just and inclusive world. The Book tries to radicalize feminism by placing the Dalit category into the heart of feminist thinking. It also re-examines and rethinks Indian feminism by replacing it with a new paradigm, namely that caste-based feminist inquiry offers the only theoretical vantage point for holistically resolving gender-based inequalities. The book tries to discuss about Indian feminism versus Dalit feminism; the emerging concept of Dalit patriarchy; Dalit feminism's forefathers, such as Phule and Ambedkar; the meaning and value of lived experience; the concept of difference; the analogical relationship between Black feminism and Dalit feminism; the intersectionality debate; and the theory versus experience debate. They also offer a conceptual, historical, empirical, and philosophical perspective of contemporary feminism in India.

The roots of pilgrimage as an institution can be linked to the initial stages of human cultural practices, and its practice is a time-honoured aspect of human history. It began to take shape as an established custom with the emergence of major religions. The practice of pilgrimage differs across various religions. It has unique historical developments and shapes the identities of practitioners in distinctive ways. Since the volume deals with Manipuri Hindus, it will reflect on selected places of pilgrimage associated with Hinduism. In Hinduism, a pilgrimage is known as a y?tr?, and individuals embark on y?tr?s to visit t?rthas (crossings or fords). The volume tries to revisit the journey of cultural oneness through the legacy of t?rthas y?tr?s of Braja-Vrindaban from Manipur, which has been initiated, promoted, and popularized by Rajarshi Bhagyachandra (1759-61 & 1763-98 AD) and the successive Mah?r?j?s of Manipur. The present volume, which is divided into three sections, viz., spiritual, literature, and pilgrimage of the Manipuri Hindus to the sacred t?rthas of the Hindu pantheon, especially Vrindavan, which is connected with the exploits of R?dh? and Krsna.

This text book "History of Haryana: Ancient, Medieval and Modern Period" is a narrative of resilience, cultural amalgamation, and socio-political transformations that have shaped its identity over the ages. Haryana is a home to several sites from the Indus Valley Civilization, indicating its significance as a cradle of early civilization. In the epic Mahabharata, Haryana is referred to as the Bahudanayak Region. Haryana has been ruled by a multitude of native and non-native polities, including the Maurya Empire, Gupta Empire, Pushyabhuti, Delhi Sultanate and Mughals. The Sikh rulers also ruled parts of Haryana, including regions like Jind, Kaithal, and Hisar. Notable battles like the Battles of Tarain, Battles of Panipat, and Battle of Karnal took place in Haryana, shaping its historical narrative. During the British colonial period, Haryana played most important role in the Rebellion of 1857 and also during the national movement until the independence of India. Influential figures like Lala Lajpat Rai and Sir Chhotu Ram played pivotal roles in social reforms and the Indian Independence Movement, leaving a lasting impact on Haryana's legacy.

Colonialism transformed the areas what is now referred as the North East India into a 'frontier'. It was marked by fluidity of borders, flux in community relationship and resource extraction. Separation of Burma (1937), the partition of India (1947 and the birth of Bangladesh (1971) had an enormous effect on North East India and their ramifications are felt in contemporary times as well. This book examines whether the post-colonial discursive practices on North East India still carries traces of colonial paradigm of a 'frontier'. The chapters use the understanding of 'space' as it has emerged in social sciences to understand this changing frontier beyond the notions of pre-given building blocks of a nation-state to a process of socially and politically constructed entities, where creation and de-creation of spatial categories remain an inseparable part of today's North East India. This book facilitates the reader with a fresh perspective to under­stand these processes beyond the often-marked zones of separation into an overlap­ping and intermingling spaces.

The nature of anthropological studies on tribals in India has been changed along with the shift in anthropological theories and changing nature of the society. The need for development of tribal communities and policy framework together have also changed the orientation of tribal studies in India. Although tribal studies remain a focus of many anthropologists in India, writing pure ethnography is out of fashion. It has affected further progress in anthropological knowledge on tribe. This book, developed with a primordial ideology, chronicles the culture, tradition, economy, politics, etc. of an anthropologically undescribed tribe of Odisha, India named Chuktia Bhunjia. It is first ever comprehensive ethnography on Chuktia Bhunjia that depicts three aspects of this tribe-cultural life, transition, and development and produces a different anthropological knowledge we have learnt so far about the tribal life. Critically entering into the discourse on 'mainstream' of tribals in India, this book deconstructs the idea of 'mainstream' espoused by both anthropologists and policy makers for the development of tribals from time to time; and urges to adopt the primordial approach to preserve the tribal culture and the policy of 'automated' integration to bring them to modern nation-state together. This book will be useful for academicians, researchers and policy makers working on tribal development.
