  • Caste, Trade Or Class: Historical Transition in Stratification Structure in Rural Punjab
    Journal of the Punjab University Historical Society Volume: 34, No. 01, January – June 2021 Ayesha Farooq * Caste, Trade or Class: Historical Transition in Stratification Structure in Rural Punjab Abstract Dynamics of caste have modified over time due to occupational changes, economic positions and religious enlightenment. However, it is not entirely replaced by any new stratification structure, resulting in much confusion regarding the adopted caste titles in the community. The present research has been conducted in a village named Mohla in the Punjab, Pakistan. Findings revealed resistance of young generation towards the existing caste system and they were recognized by trades of their forefather. Economic factor found important for such differences, besides education and migration. There has been fluidity of caste perception over generation and across social strata; young, educated, economically better off craftsmen and women condemned caste division whereas most of the landowners emphasized the importance of caste system. Shift in basis of social differentiation, role of chieftain has become negligible as majority of them tend to resolve their issues by themselves and go to police or courts. Keywords: Caste system, Class structure, social stratification, intergenerational differences, economics, migration, infrastructure. Introduction The present paper aims to assess stratification system in a rural community named Mohla, situated in District Gujrat of Punjab, Pakistan. Implications of caste on various aspects of social life are also observed. Eglar studied this village five decades ago and found caste stratification as foremost aspect in determining social status and life opportunities.1 In this study, we intend to look into the differences between old and young villager’s perception regarding caste system.

  • A Historical Transition of Banjara Community in India with Special Reference to South India Nagaveni T
    Research Journal of Recent Sciences _________________________________________________ ISSN 2277-2502 Vol. 4(ISC-2014), 11-15 (2015) Res. J. Recent. Sci. A Historical Transition of Banjara Community in India with Special Reference to South India Nagaveni T. Department of History, Government First Grade College, Kuvempunagar, Mysore-570 023, INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in, www.isca.me Received 13 rd November 2014, revised 9th March 2015, accepted 25 th March 2015 Abstract An incisive insight into the literature on Banjara Community clearly indicates that ample literature has been produced by the Western and Indian scholars. Yet the treatment of the problem is exponential. Deep delve into the process of historical transition of the Banjara Community enables us to focus on various controversial issues and complexities of historical significance. Issues like Semantics, Historicity, Location, Ethnicity, Categorization, Caste-clan, Dichotomy and the community’s identity continued to gravitate the attention of the scholars and researchers alike. Lack of unanimity among the scholars and policy makers on these contentious issues has added perplexity to the puzzle. Ambiguous explanations given by the community historians have further complicated the clear-cut understanding of the process of historical transition. The antiquity of this Banjara Community is traceable to Harappa and Mohenjodaro. Its influence continued to spread and retain its relevance down the centuries to shape and reshape the course of history. There is a speculation about the group of Banjaras who mere concentrated outside India and called as Roma Gypsy, where their social history is not yet clear but proved to be of Indian Origin. This paper however strives to focus on historical transition within the context of India from 13 th Century A.D.

    Manjur Ali FORGOTTEN AT THE MARGIN : MUSLIM MANUAL SCAVENGERS Manual scavenging has been thrust upon a community who is then persuaded to be happy with its own marginality. In the Indian context, where division of labour of an individual is decided by his caste, this lack of economic alternative should be construed as a major principle of casteism. It is not just a ‘division of labour’, but also the “division of labourer”. It justifies manual scavenging in the name of ‘job’. Despite all the laws against caste practices, it’s most inhuman manifestation i.e. manual scavenging is still practiced in India. To deal with such a “dehumanizing practice” and “social stigma” the Union government passed a law known as Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Bill, 2013. This Bill will override the previous one as it had “not proved adequate in eliminating the twin evils of insanitary latrines and manual scavenging from the country.” It is in this context, that this paper would like to deal with Muslim manual scavengers, a little known entity in social science. The first question this paper would like to discuss is about the caste among Indian Muslims despite no sanction from the religion. Secondly, this paper shall deal with Muslim manual scavengers, an Arzal biradari, including their social history. This section will try to bring forth the socio-economic context of Muslim manual scavengers who live an ‘undignified’ life. Third section will deal with the subject of inaccessibility of scheme benefit meant for all manual scavengers? What has been the role of State in providing a dignified life to its citizens? A critical analysis of the movement against manual scavenging shall also be covered.
