| Title: Countering Gender Violence: Initiatives Towards Collective Action in Rajasthan |
| Author: Kanchan Mathur |
| Edition Year: 2004 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Social Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Violence constitutes a major form of oppressing women. Rooted in the practical experiences of rural Indian women, Countering Gender Violence explores those facets of social, cultural and economic life that otherwise appear to have little bearing on gender violence and hence are rarely examined. This book studies the phenomenon of violence which, while being meted out to individual women, is systematically rooted in the social pattern of gender relations. Addressing gender violence requires challenging the means by which gender roles and power relations are defined and articulated in society. The book focuses on ways through which these relations can be altered in favour of women. |

Between them, they cover cultural psychology, cultural anthropology, it presents an over-arching view of contemporary schools of thought in Human development and argues that it is both possible and desirable to promote meaningful interfaces between them so as to evolve a holistic perspective on human development. |

They constitute roughly 1-7th of population of India and they are the majority group in poverty and in below poverty line. The question of Dalits development is a massive one. It is not an individual or a family. The issues or problems are not single, but varied in type depicting on their struggle at the bottom level in the caste hierarchy for centuries. The great Swami Vivekananda has very poignantly observed that caste system in our country has become a crystallized social institution. Caste system and division of functions for centuries have contributed to the stagnation, confining the Delits to hard labour. |

| Title: I Give Thee My Daughter |

| Subject: Social Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is a report on caste at 159 put forward as an urgent object of investigation the hypergamy prevailing among the Anavil Brahmans of South Gujarat. The Anavil Brahmans are grhastha Brahmans which means they cannot perform priestly functions. Traditionally they are landowners. Within the endogamous unit, the jati, may be distinguished two groups of unequal social status, the Desai or descendants of tax- farmers and the non-Desai. This differentiation into a rich Desai group and a relatively poor non-Desai group led to a heterogamous marriage system in the Anavil Brahman caste. Members of the non-Desai group strive to marry their daughters to Desai men, who, in return, insist upon large dowries. |

| Author: Kenneth Ballhatchet |
| Edition Year: 1980 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Social Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is an extensively researched study of British attitudes to sexual behavior across the boundaries of race and class in nineteenth century India. It argues that these attitudes were shaped by the desire to preserve the structure of power and to power vested interests. Official attitudes to women were ambivalent and policies reflected this, the authorities provided Indian women as prostitutes for British soldiers, but they also discouraged officials from having native wives or mistresses. This contradiction can be traced directly to the preoccupation of the ruling race with safeguarding its power and prestige. |

| Title: Society and World View of the Birhor |
| Author: Ashim Kumar Adhikary |
| Edition Year: 1984 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Social Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about society and world view of the Birhor. The term hunting and gathering is generally used to denote a primitive mode of subsistence and the people adopting such a mode of subsistence are thought to represent a group at the base of human development. Subsequently, in most of the earlier studies we find a tendency towards reconstructing an ideal type of primitive society. Later on, the prevalence of hunters and gatherers over a wider range of ecological diversities and persistence of the hunting and gathering mode of subsistence in the changing techno-economic situations led ethnographers to give emphasis on their contemporary socio economic organization and their adaptation to the natural environment. |

| Abstract: The present book offers a great deal of evidence that can substantiate either view, but in the last analysis it suggests that it is the dominant population, the host society as it is sometimes misleadingly called which determines how the Asian immigrants and their children emerge. The present writer has endeavored not to produce an explanation which is , in effect, a label, the Asian are not herein invariably depicted as victims, nor as heroes but neither are they saddled with the stereotype of exploiters or spoilers of the lands where they settle. Least of all are they described as part of a world revolution of the oppressed, not at any rate, in the time-scale with which this book is concerned. The book is about things as are not how they might be or ought to be. |

| Title: The Cultural Politics of Markets: Economic Liberalization and Social Change in Nepal |
| Author: Katharine Neilson Rankin |
| Edition Year: 2004 |

A classic study of the interaction between market and non-market relations, one that has the added advantage of analytically, empirically and normatively confining neo-leberalism to the dustbin of vulgar apologetics where it belongs. |
