Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. It has been 64 years since India the largest democracy in the world attained independence. Yet, justice for all is still a far cry in the country where the caste system continues to determine political, social, and economic lives of a billion people. Money and muscle power, together with political string-pulling, often result in denial of justice for the hapless 'have-nots', especially the Dalits (untouchables), ravaged by poverty and illiteracy. Atrocities and extortion on the Dalits, fake encounters, refusal to register complaints against the well-heeled, arbitrary arrests on false charges, illegal detention and custodial deaths are in commonplace. In the absence of a modern social audit system, the keepers of the law often unleash a 'police raj', especially in rural India. A crippled National Human Rights Commission and its state subsidiaries with limited recommendatory control and a dysfunctional Legal Aid System depict a gloomy picture indeed. In a unique way, Lenin Raghuvanshi, a veteran human rights activist, citing the case-studies primarily drawn from Uttar Pradesh, registering the highest rate of crime against the Dalits, chronicles how with implicit support from the administration, the Dalits are tortured and subjected to humiliation by the higher castes, like being garlanded with shoes, their faces blackened or being forced to ride an ass; yet, in most of the cases, violence, deaths or custodial tortures that are committed against the marginalised and deprived castes go unrecorded. Ironically, even after having shed the colonial yoke, its legacy continues in the administrative framework of our independent India marked with widespread corruption which has rendered many government-sponsored schemes in rural India a failure.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. In 2020, while protests against the new citizenship law were still rocking the streets of India, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country. Subsequently, the year saw the largest internal migration in post-Independence India. It was an unprecedented reverse migration from urban centres to rural areas when hundreds of thousands of people who had come to the cities to earn a living were going back to their native places after a sudden nation-wide lockdown was imposed on 24 March 2020, bringing economic activities almost to a halt and making their livelihood uncertain. Several Indian states went into elections later in 2020 and in 2021. How far did the migrants matter in these polls? How did the massive and mixed population of migrants in India internal as well as cross-border migrants figure in the electoral campaigns of the political parties? This book presents three studies that take a hard look at the ground realities in three States that went to polls Assam, Bihar and West Bengal searching for an answer to this question. Unlike most election studies that deal with in-situ voter communities, it not only brings the migrants in focus but also sees them as subjects and not mere consumers of the election campaigns.…
