I greatly benefitted from her advice that helped me identify and articulate some of the key concepts and intervention of my research. I thank Charlie Hale for his unconditional support and patience, particularly, towards the end of the writing phase that was critical to finishing the dissertation in a timely manner. I thank Shannon Speed, João Vargas, for their comments and feedback on this dissertation. I owe much to Maria Fraklin, Ted Gordon, Kamran Ali, Kaushik Ghosh, Indrani Chatterjee, Snehal Singhavi and Azfar Moin for their motivation, encouragement and intellectual prodding that helped me overcome thought paralysis.

I specially thank my Dad, who very early on taught me the importance of stories. I owe much to my sisters: Sunny Sinha and Priyanka Prasad for making this journey possible. I thank my late grandfather Tirath Prasad Roy who passed away during my course of this doctoral journey and my grandmother Bhagirathi Roy. This achievement of mine would have meant a great deal to them. I thank my in-laws, Munni and S.S. Shrivastava, Meenu and Ajay Shrivastava for their unconditional support and encouragement. Lekha, my daughter, my fieldwork companion surprised me by taking on village life with such ease and comfort. I owe much to her for keeping me on track. Finally, I thank Aviral, my spouse, formidable ally and my best friend. I hope in this dissertation you find reasons that make our difficult years, worthwhile. vii LAND REDISTRIBUTION AND DALIT ASSERTION: MAPPING SOCIAL CHANGE IN GAYA, BIHAR Indulata Prasad, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2016 Supervisors: Kamala Visweswaran & Charles R. Hale This dissertation uses social mapping in conjunction with ethnography to undertake a spatial analysis of the long-term effects of legal rights to redistributed land among Dalit communities in Bihar to reframe what land means to these communities and how it has transformed their immediate social landscape and subjectivities. It does so by assessing questions undergirding the long-term impact of the Bodh Gaya land struggle that for the first time in the history of social movements in South Asia resulted in primarily Dalit women securing joint land titles along with their husbands. How has ownership of redistributed land shaped Dalit subjectivities in rural South Bihar? What do the altered material and social conditions of Dalits tell us about the claims made by land- based social movements and the State? How have acquiring productive assets for Dalits, a historically marginalized population, altered what is referred to as the ‘hidden apartheid’ in rural India? In answering these questions, attention to social space is crucial, as little attention has been paid to the ways in which rural spatial segregation within the viii village re-inscribes caste on a daily basis. First, the ownership of redistributed land has allowed for the emergence of a “politics of becoming” that actively opposes practices that perpetuate the social exclusion of Dalits. Through the actual control (kabza) over state owned land, previously under the control of the landed castes/elites, Dalits are effectively undermining the century old practices of kamiauti or servitude in the region and questioning old forms of caste mediated and gender relationships. Second, despite the mainstreaming of gender and land rights issues, the state bureaucracy continues to act as ‘machines for the social production of indifference’ toward the Dalit community. The ‘bureaucratic phase’ of the land struggle is characterized by prolonged inaction that has worked to not only intensify Dalit social suffering, but also has jeopardized the viability of peaceful forms of mobilization and resistance. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ..............................................................................................................1 Chapter 1: Contesting Scape(s): Shifts in the dynamics of land, caste & gender in Bodh Gaya, Bihar ..........................................................................................52 Chapter 2: Contesting Erasure?

These two key aspects of the Bodhgaya land struggle seemed very implausible at first and the discovery was a pleasant surprise for someone who self-identified as a Bihari. The implausibility was informed by an intimate understanding of the popular perception of Bihar in the national imagination and the secondary status of women in India when it comes to owning agricultural land. The Hindu Succession Act of 1956 —amended only as recently as 2005—attempted to do away with gendered bias when it came to inheriting residential property and agricultural land.2 Research meant to end with a paper I wrote for my Master’s seminar class, therefore, ended up becoming the subject of inquiry of my doctoral study, as I wanted to document how procuring legal titles to land had, due to the Bodhgaya struggle, fundamentally altered women, and in particular, Dalit subjectivities, as well as 1 Dalit literally meaning, “broken”

    CONTRIBUTIONS OF LALA HAR DAYAL AS AN INTELLECTUAL AND REVOLUTIONARY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ntiat ai pijtl000pi{g IN }^ ^ HISTORY By MATT GAOR CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2007 ,,» '*^d<*'/. ' ABSTRACT India owes to Lala Har Dayal a great debt of gratitude. What he did intotality to his mother country is yet to be acknowledged properly. The paradox ridden Har Dayal - a moody idealist, intellectual, who felt an almost mystical empathy with the masses in India and America. He kept the National Independence flame burning not only in India but outside too. In 1905 he went to England for Academic pursuits. But after few years he had leave England for his revolutionary activities. He stayed in America and other European countries for 25 years and finally returned to England where he wrote three books. Har Dayal's stature was so great that its very difficult to put him under one mould. He was visionary who all through his life devoted to Boddhi sattava doctrine, rational interpretation of religions and sharing his erudite knowledge for the development of self culture. The proposed thesis seeks to examine the purpose of his returning to intellectual pursuits in England. Simultaneously the thesis also analyses the contemporary relevance of his works which had a common thread of humanism, rationalism and scientific temper. Relevance for his ideas is still alive as it was 50 years ago. He was true a patriotic who dreamed independence for his country. He was pioneer for developing science in laymen and scientific temper among youths.
