  • Socio-Religious Philosophy of B. R. Ambedkar and the Genesis of the Neo-Buddhist Movement in India
    SOCIO-RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY OF B. R. AMBEDKAR AND THE GENESIS OF THE NEO-BUDDHIST MOVEMENT IN INDIA THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (ARTS) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL 2003 • By lndramohan Mandai Selection Grade Lecturer Department of History Samsi College Maida Supervisor Co-supervisor Dr. Sailen Debnath Dr. Jasobanta Kar Reader Professor of History Department of History University of North Bengal Alipurduar College Raja Rammohunpur Jalpaiguri Darjeeling j ,, 16M7Hl 2? UtC r'., Acknowledgement To speak the truth, I did not have any contemplation for doing research work on Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. In the year of 1989,the Government of India took initiative to commemorate Ambedkar on the occasion ofhis Birth Centenary. Then, as the secretary of a Social Organisation at Maida, I organised a Seminar on the ideas and activities of Ambedkar. Dr. Sailen Debnath was one ofthe speakers who attended the Seminar; and on that occasion he inspired me to work on the topic. I would like to express my deepest sense of gratitude to Dr. Sailen Debnath, under whose supervision this dissertation has taken the present form. From the very inception of the work and all through my hazardous thinking on the topic;he kin.dled in me a keen intrest and urge for the study in the socio-religious movements organised by Ambedkar. Moreover, his constant supervision and co-operation were the only source of inspiration for me to bring this work into its present shape. I am indebted much to Dr. Jasobanta Kar, Professor of History, North Bengal University, who extended his sympathy for being joint supervisor to overcome some technical difficulties for joining the Fellowship under the IXth plan of the University Grants Commission.

    International Journal of Innovative Social Science & Humanities Research ISSN: 2349-1876 (Print) | ISSN : 2454-1826 (Online) SOCIAL MOBILITY OF SHILPKARS IN UTTARAKHAND 1815-1947 ISHA TAMTA, Senior Research Scholar, Department of history, Babasaheb Bhimarao Ambedkar University , Lucknow, U.P. ABSTRACT Indian Society did not remain static as was assumed by some authors. Society was dynamic and so was the caste system. For a long caste system was also thought to have remained changeless. But recent work point out that even caste system did not remain as a fourfold varna system. There was proliferation of castes right from Gupta period down to the present times. Uttrakhand society was not divided into four broad caste categories. But we will find that only three social categories were prevalent. By using the historical and anthropological methods this article tries to chart the social mobility of Shilapakars in Uttarakhand and the ways and methods, such as Sacred Thread (Janeo) and Dola - Palki as markers of higher status, they chose to achieve social mobility. Keywords: Social Mobility, Proliferations, Shilpkar, Sanskritization others who argue that the category Dalit enables Recent works have discussed the popularization of scholars to highlight the large-scale discrimination the term and a new movement which challenged all and injustice faced by section of humanity in the form of social hierarchies and distinctions. The way name of caste and jati ordering. In fact, Dalit is not a Dalit identity has been constructed and articulated caste, but rather a constructed identity. conveys the exact anger and frustration on the part Nonetheless, this new identity helps the socially and of the socially excluded communities of Indian economically discriminated groups to challenge the society vis-à-vis the repressive caste system.

  • Folk Religion in the Central Himalayas (Kumaon and Garhwal)
    IMPACT: International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL) ISSN(P): 2347-4564; ISSN(E): 2321-8878 Vol. 5, Issue 6, Jun 2017, 169-182 © Impact Journals FOLK RELIGION IN THE CENTRAL HIMALAYAS (KUMAON AND GARHWAL) SHIKHA PANWAR Research Scholar, Centre for Historical Studies, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India ABSTRACT A Folk tradition provides the insight into the local beliefs and practices of the people. This local tradition does not rely on the written sources and instead carried through oral means and majorly revolves around the lives of the common people. The area of the study of this paper is the hilly region of Kumaon and Garhwal in the state of Uttarakhand. The paper discusses the local beliefs and practices of the Uttarakhand region. It explores the thin boundary between the local and pan-Indian and the relation in which one co-exists in the other. This paper takes a journey from the brief history of religion practiced in the region to the different cults venerated in the region. Analyzing these local cults and practices, the paper finally depicts the processes through which the folk is assimilated into the fold of mainstream Brahmanical culture. KEYWORDS: Religion, Folk, Brahmanical, Local Traditions, Pan-Indian Traditions, Kumaon, Garhwal INTRODUCTION The region of Central Himalayas stretches on the southern slope between the Great Divide and the Shivalik foothills. It is divided into four parallel zones of Tarai-Bhabhar, Lesser Himalayas, Greater Himalayas and the Trans-Himalayas (D.D. Sharma, 2009). The history of Uttarākhaṇḍa marks its beginning with the Kuṇindas.
