Identity, Rights, and Awareness Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding in Asia Identity, Rights, and Awareness Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding in Asia Series Editor Stephanie P. Stobbe, University of Winnipeg The field of Peace and Conflict Studies acknowledges the importance of culture in the theory and practice of conflict resolution, but often takes a simplistic or monodimensional view of the cultures studied. This series intends to explore the many processes of resolu- tion that are found in Asia, accounting along the way for the complex mix of distinct ethnic groups and their contrasting languages, cultural lineages, and practices. Books in the series will move beyond the typical top-down negotiation styles to look at the wide variety of negotiation styles used by the billions of people living in the region.

I am privileged to have been given the space and time to read, write, and rewrite on questions that I developed and fashioned around my own set of interests. Over many years, I have been given, by so many, the gift of time and space to explore, think, and seek answers to what I experienced and observed. Though I remain unsure that I have answered any critically important questions, the time and space to pon- der them is a gift that I have not received lightly. Chief among those that deserve thanks are my wife, Stephanie, and our boys, Kylor and Tarin. Their consummate patience as I sat in my study writing on many a beautiful week- end is both laudable and grievable. Their sacrifices and my regrets cannot be rewound. To times and milestones missed all I can do is apologize and express, as best I can, that I appreciate each of you. I ask your forgiveness for my many absences. I love you all dearly and I hope that this work repays a small part of your sacrifice. To my parents: Lore Ann Rinker and Charles W. Rinker Jr., your inspira- tion goes much deeper than words can express. Your lives continue to serve as an inspiration to me and I remain thankful that I was blessed with such caring, supportive, and dedicated social activist parents. Dad, your presence is missed but not forgotten. Mom, I look towards many more years together and hope that you enjoy reading this, my first book. While it goes without saying that many colleagues, friends, and family were instrumental in the book you now hold in your hands, too many have played important and influential roles in my intellectual and spiritual devel- opment to list in full here. Of course, like any human work, a book is never created in solitude, but rather is the product of many hearts and minds. To the late Dr. David Chappell, thank you for your friendship, inspiration, and intro- ix x Acknowledgments duction to both socially engaged Buddhism and the work of TBMSG. To Haresh Dalvi, Mangesh Dahiwale, Priyadarhsi Telang, Lenin Raghuvanshi, Tanoj Meshram, Dr. Vivek Kumar, Dharmacharini Amitamati, Dharmachari Lokamitra, Dr. P. D. Satya Pal, and all those unnamed Dalits still working in anticaste movement, thank you for your friendship and research support along the way. Without each of you, and many more unnamed anticaste activists, I am sure this book would not have come to fruition. Undoubtedly, I have forgotten many important individuals, but in asking that you forgive this oversight I rest assured that your collective hurt does not compare to the continued suffering of the many Dalits still living under caste oppression today. I ask that you please forgive any mistakes I surely made in this writing by keeping those less fortunate in the forefront of your thoughts and feelings. To all those oppressed by social injustice: May your stories be your birth- place of resistance, your touchstone of resilience, and your ultimate salva- tion! Introduction At the Center and in the Periphery I began my India-based fieldwork on the Trailokya (now Triratna) Bauddha Mahasangha Sahayaka Gana (TBMSG) in late September 2006. Jolted into action by the realization that October 2, 2006, would mark the fiftieth anni- versary of Dalit1 social reformer Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar’s (1891–1956) historic conversion to Buddhism, I arrived in Nagpur’s B. R. Ambedkar airport with an outsider’s knowledge of modern Indian caste mar- ginalization and the many political interests, normative identity construc- tions, and deep-seated passions that the Indian caste question enlivens. What some might call naiveté quickly turned into an inclusive feeling of excite- ment and camaraderie as the auspicious anniversary of Ambedkar’s conver- sion quickly approached. As the geographic center of India and home to a diversity of opposing political movements and ideologies (from the far-right Rashtriya Swayamsevak Singh, or RSS, a youth militant wing of India’s current ruling party, to various Dalit rights movements), Nagpur city pro- vided an appropriate prologue to attempting to discern the subtle complex- ities of India’s marginal social peripheries. As a key center of anticaste activism, Nagpur represents both a beginning, and possible end, to modern Indian social change. The complex socio-political milieu and the ambiguous narrative identities that low-caste communities encounter in Indian society’s marginalized periphery represent artful spaces of resistance, resilience, and, some might argue, salvation. As I experienced my first visit to Dikshabhumi (the site of Dr. Ambedkar’s historic conversion to Buddhism in Nagpur city), the complex marginalized identities of low-caste Dalits were being narrated in front of my eyes. In this center of Dalit Buddhist agitation, one could see glimpses of the marginalization that takes place on the peripheral boundaries xi xii Introduction of Indian society, as well as visions of the possibilities for change emanating from this important center of anticaste activism. Given the powerful influ- ence of my first auspicious encounter with Dalit Buddhists, it seems appro- priate to begin this work with my own short narrative reflections of this formative experience of embodied resistance at India’s anticaste center. Now, sixty years after his conversion, Ambedkar’s significance is lost on no one in either the periphery or the center 2 of Indian politics and society. Ambedkar’s story of conversion is an under-told story of Indian nonviolent resistance and collective resilience. My own experience of the fiftieth anni- versary of this historic event opens important vistas on theories of social change. Even ten years after my auspicious introduction to Ambedkarite Buddhists in Nagpur, in celebrating Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s 125th birth anni- versary at Michigan State University in April 2016, Ambedkar’s central im- portance as a leader of the marginalized and archetype of resilience remains unmistakable. Even for Indian elites, Ambedkar has been recast as a central founding father of the nation.

    A front page Initiative Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis W: https://jtpp.uk In January 2019, Frontpage launches the Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis (JTPP), a peer-reviewed, biannual, scholarly journal, both in print and online versions, bringing together peace practitioners with academics to explore radical responses to social conflict, war and injustice. Vision JTPP aspires to publish well-reasoned and thought provoking single and co-au- thored works that integrate cutting edge research and practice on subjects relat- ed to human social flourishing and peace in local, national, and international contexts. Our vision is to facilitate critical dialogue on complex social problems thereby empowering thoughtful responses to the world’s wicked problems which help guide readers towards nonviolent peaceful futures. Mission The realisation of nonviolent peaceful futures requires collaborative exploration of themes, social resources, and problems that no one field or discipline is capable of understanding alone. In creating JTPP, Frontpage Publications Limited harkens to a bygone era of pre-scientific reasoning—an era that privileges a science of collaborative social experience and qualitative analytical methods as valuable contributors to the human knowledge base. Objective JTPP fills an important transdisciplinary gap that currently exists in traditional academic journals. This gap often neglects opportunities for truly collaborative research and praxis on the complex and multi-dimensional realities of positive peace and reconciliation systems. JTPP thus provides a dynamic forum for sharing information and experiences primarily catering to academics, activists particularly in the disciplines of Peace and Conflict Studies, Political Science, International Relations, Human Rights, History and professionals, policymakers, organisations, institutions and individ- uals who nurture a firm belief in peace and human rights.

  • Additional Proposals for the Short-Term Relief of Vulnerable Workers and Populations Deeply Impacted by Strategies to Contain the Spread of the Corona Pandemic
    31 March 2020 To 1. The Honorable Prime Minister of India 2. Honorable Chief Ministers of all States Urgent: Additional Proposals for the Short-term Relief of Vulnerable Workers and Populations Deeply impacted by Strategies to Contain the Spread of the Corona Pandemic Dear Sir/Madam, As the corona pandemic and measures to contain it, unfold, we are witnessing a humanitarian and economic crisis of unprecedented proportions. The Central government has announced a Rs. 1.7 trillion package aimed at alleviation of the impact of the lockdown on the poor (PMGKY) over the next three months. It is also heartening that a number of states have announced additional measures and relief packages varying in nature and scale. While welcoming these measures, we are of the view that given the magnitude of the crisis that the country is facing, these measures will have to be scaled up with immediate and unconditional financial and other support from the national government. Therefore we appeal to the Government of India and all the State Governments to initiate urgent additional measures that are required to address critical gaps in the short-term relief measures announced so far for the impacted population. These are listed below: 1. Immediate minimum measures by governments to provide for food and subsistence requirements Cash and kind assistance, and food for the homeless and most distressed, are urgently required by the poor in the informal economy who have lost jobs and incomes. We propose the following as minimum measures: a. Cash Income Support: The stoppage of employment and incomes for those in the informal economy urgently necessitates cash income support.

It has created its own circle of discussion about the oppression, injustice of the society with them. This literature is about an oppressed Indian caste under Indian caste system. From the beginning of it, Dalit literature is the voice against the upper caste society in India. Actually is it the voice of voiceless communities in India. Dalit literature is also about the writing of victims of such society who oppressed and exploited them under the name of Indian caste system. Such communities were deprived of their rights of living with respect, education, business and customs too. Fandry is also the result of the same. The present research paper is a study of the Dalit voice by highlighting the various themes handled by Nagraj Manjule against caste based society Who are Dalits? Those who are beneath the entire caste system – and are therefore literally ‘outcaste’ as well as ‘untouchable’ – call themselves ‘Dalits’.
