  • 'Ambedkar's Constitution': a Radical Phenomenon in Anti-Caste
    Article CASTE: A Global Journal on Social Exclusion Vol. 2 No. 1 pp. 109–131 brandeis.edu/j-caste April 2021 ISSN 2639-4928 DOI: 10.26812/caste.v2i1.282 ‘Ambedkar’s Constitution’: A Radical Phenomenon in Anti-Caste Discourse? Anurag Bhaskar1 Abstract During the last few decades, India has witnessed two interesting phenomena. First, the Indian Constitution has started to be known as ‘Ambedkar’s Constitution’ in popular discourse. Second, the Dalits have been celebrating the Constitution. These two phenomena and the connection between them have been understudied in the anti-caste discourse. However, there are two generalised views on these aspects. One view is that Dalits practice a politics of restraint, and therefore show allegiance to the Constitution which was drafted by the Ambedkar-led Drafting Committee. The other view criticises the constitutional culture of Dalits and invokes Ambedkar’s rhetorical quote of burning the Constitution. This article critiques both these approaches and argues that none of these fully explores and reflects the phenomenon of constitutionalism by Dalits as an anti-caste social justice agenda. It studies the potential of the Indian Constitution and responds to the claim of Ambedkar burning the Constitution. I argue that Dalits showing ownership to the Constitution is directly linked to the anti-caste movement. I further argue that the popular appeal of the Constitution has been used by Dalits to revive Ambedkar’s legacy, reclaim their space and dignity in society, and mobilise radically against the backlash of the so-called upper castes. Keywords Ambedkar, Constitution, anti-caste movement, constitutionalism, Dalit Introduction Dr.

  • Coalition Between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 1 No. 1; June 2014 Coalition between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A Discourse Analysis Dr. C. M. Vinaya Kumar Assistant Professor & Head Department of Journalism and Mass Communication Krishna University Machilipatnam-521 001 91-9985085530 Romesh Chaturvedi Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, 91-9721964685 India Shruti Mehrotra Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, India 91-9451177264 Abstract The study attempts to explore dynamics of political discourse as reflected in Hindi films. Political messages in most Hindi films are concealed within entertainment. Films use thrilling & entertaining plots mixed with political content in order to convey their messages to the public. Films not only reflect reality but also construct the political ideology. The public is generally unaware of the extent to which they are being influenced, managed and conditioned by the political discourses in Hindi films. This study attempts to conduct the discourse analysis on the Hindi film “Chakravyuh” to find how politics and entertainment are merged together to influence public opinion. The film is based on the dark, largely-unexposed world of the Naxalites fighting for their land and dignity. Discourse analysis of the film will help in exploring how an entertaining film can carry a meaningful message. For over 40 years in India, since the emergence of the Naxalite rebellion, cinema has drawn inspiration from the rupture caused by this iconic movement in Indian political history. Hindi films seem to have woken up to Naxalism, or Maoism, as it is more commonly known today.

    ISSN 2320 – 6101 Research Scholar www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations PORTRAYAL OF VOICELESS IN CINEMA AND LITERATURE Manoj Kumar Lecturer Amity University, Rajasthan Cinema is the powerful medium to represent the things in its own way. It plays a great role to bring the problem front of the public. It reflects many of the trends, current virtues, social struggles and patterns of living in a society. Culture is the underlying current of a society. A society thrives on its values and ideology through the medium of culture. Culture has many definitions. According to Raymond Williams, It is a whole way of life.’ Cinema not only reflects culture, it also shapes culture. Cinema is always affected by contemporary issues. Before or after independence, movies were made according to the time’s demand. Ashok kumar starred Kismat released during Quit India movement, was a cinematic interpretation of resistance against Imperialistic British by Indians. As Anil Saari says, ‘Hindi films have always reflected the prevailing mood of the society’. Post independence Nehruvian socialist era was time of Guru Dutts, Satyajit Rays and Bimal Roys, who vividly captured the growing pains of infant democracy and universality of human emotions in their films. After 1970, that time was a period of rising worker, peasant, and student unrest, unhappy with governance so movies were there like Deewar (1975), Sholey and many more. Filmmakers have been bringing out social, political, religious and other issues through movies for long time. Bollywood has always tried to represent Indian culture and its ramifications.

Abstract In my dissertation, I illustrate the way in which processes in contemporary urban India structure the making/ unmaking of gendered identities for young men in a working class, scheduled caste neighborhood in the western Indian city of Pune. Present day Pune, an aspiring metropolis, presents a complex socio-spatial intersection of neoliberal processes and peculiar historical trajectories of caste exclusion; this dissertation seeks to highlight how socio-spatial dynamics of the city produce and sustain gendered identities and inequalities in Pune, a city hitherto neglected in academic research. Also, my focus on young men’s gendered identities speaks to a growing recognition that men need to be studied in gendered terms, as ‘men,’ in order to understand fully the dimensions of gendered inequalities and violence prevalent in South Asian cities today. I follow the lives of young men between 16 and 30 in a neighborhood in the eastern part of Pune, who belong to a scheduled caste called Matang.

  • Journalism Paper 3
    Reflection of socio-economic issues in Hindi films post Liberalization Neha Saluja* Cinema has always enjoyed a significant place in the lives of the people. It permits the individual to relate to a world which is several times distant from their real life and on other occasions touches and becomes the reflection of their conditions. It has established itself as an important catalyst in building the nation and developing its people. In this paper for studying the reflection of socio-economic issues in Hindi films, I have examined three commercial Hindi films post Liberalization. The aim of the study is to identify possible influence of political climate in determining the social and economic state of the people and how Hindi films have presented it in different ways. Keywords: Socio-economic issues, Liberalization, Reflection, Hindi Films, Political scenario Introduction The social and economic environment of India needless to say has been witnessing major uproar since New Economic Policy introduced in 1991 by then Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao. Anarchy in Indian social structure is extremely complex and frequently plays a pivotal role in shaping the economic state as well. Social issues, related to how society perceives the life of a person, which affects the masses, groups and ultimately an individual. In India, social problems are highly diversified, glaringly evident discriminatory attitudes towards people of the different religion, caste and gender have been prevalent for generations. Throughout the country, religious practices and norms are strictly followed and even caste- wise differences are pervasive. The social disproportion has given rise to economic disparity, inequitable distribution of wealth, the ever increasing gap between have and have nots’, lack of equivalent work and education opportunity has dropped the Indian progress graph to a great extent.
