It is not that other British commentators were entirely unimpressed by the salience of caste or its significance for a whole series of civilizational diagnoses.Late18th and early 19th century British writings on India, however, tended to say relatively little about caste and to be formulaic at best, long after Alexander Dow.Most British writing on India in the 18th century concerned military matters, and reflected a painstaking and painful history of conquest, negotiation, alliance, deception, and warfare. The great hero of the century was Clive, whose military successes in Bengal and Madras had established the basis for Company control over vast sections of India’s most fertile lands. But even after the successes of Plassey and Arcot, the history of colonial conquest was highly fraught. The Mysore rulers Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan had to be engaged four times before their final defeat in 1799, before which many commentators noted the possibility of a very different political future for the subcontinent.And the Marathas were a potent force until the military and diplomatic successes of the British in 1818.In writings about warfare and military and political intrigue, and in basic concerns about conquest and control, caste figured as of little significance.The belief that the British, like the Mughals and the Sultanates before them had merely walked into India, facing only minimal resistance because of caste divisions, could hardly have been generated, let alone sustained, at times of open and regular military engagement. Even when they were no longer explicitly engaged with matters of conquest, the British were concerned about land revenue and the growing need to provide regular income from agriculture to supplement the mercantile profits of international trade; this also mitigated a preoccupation with caste in favor of the village.Thomas Munro, Mark Wilks, and Charles Metcalfe all wrote eloquently about the importance of the village community.Metcalfe’s words are perhaps the most quoted: “The village communities are little republics, having nearly every thing they can want within themselves, and almost independent of any foreign relations….Dynasty after dynasty tumbles down; revolution succeeds to revolution; …. But the village community remains the same”.Thomas Munro, the architect of the Madras ryotwari settlement (which, unlike Cornwallis’s zamindari settlement in Bengal, was made with individual cultivators), wrote in a report from Anantapur of 15th May, 1806, that “Every village, with its twelve Ayangadees as they are called, is a kind of little republic, with the Potail at the head of it; and India is a mass of such republics.The inhabitants, during war, look chiefly to their own Potail.They give themselves Caste and Social Stratification in Medieval India Page 5 School of Distance Education no trouble about the breaking up and division of kingdoms, while the village remains entire, they care not to what power it is transferred; wherever it goes the internal management remains unaltered; the Potail is still the collector and magistrate, and head farmer.From the age of Menu until this day the settlements have been made with or through the Potails”.The 5th Report of 1812 quoted Munro liberally in an endorsement of the view that village government had been in place “from time immemorial”, though it also reflects the debate over land tenure in Madras as to whether individual cultivators or the headman of the village should be the agent of revenue settlement, about which much more in a later chapter.Charles Metcalfe and Mountstuart Elphinstone elaborated the idea in relation to the abiding belief in the evanescent but extractive presence of Oriental despotisms. Elphinstone wrote that “These communities contain in miniature all the materials of a State within themselves, and are almost sufficient to protect their members, if all governments are withdrawn”, and Metcalfe elaborated his comment quoted above by nothing that the village communities have “nearly everything that they want within themselves, and [are] almost independent of any foreign relations”. The focus on the village was part of the early colonial preoccupation with questions of property, landholding, and revenue collection.In late eighteenth century Bengal, the views of John Shore, Philip Francis, and Charles Cornwallis had all led, after extensive debate, to a permanent settlement with zamindars, or landlords.This led to a massive reorganization of local power meant simultaneously to coopt the chiefs and magnates of late Mughal rule and install a loyal and landed aristocracy to serve a physiocratic vision for a new India.But as the immediate concerns of conquest gave way to the need for more revenue, Thomas Munro and others made their political careers by arguing for a completely different organization of revenue collection in the countryside. The colonial concern to know India began with the desire to understand local forms of landholding and agrarian management, and voluminous statistics and narratives both reflected this concern and fueled continuous arguments about the best ways to rule India and collect revenue.Suspicion of local magnates turned into a paternalist romanticism around the figure of the rural yeoman, and thus the colonial interest in local history and social organization crystallized first around images of gentry landlords, village republics, and sturdy yeomen.There were many different views, but virtually all colonial commentators were impressed by the integrity, and relative autonomy, of the village. Although by far the greatest number of early colonial records concerned questions of revenue and property, the Company, and numerous Company servants, were interested in discovering a more broadly based context in which to situate polemical debates over property, rent, and agrarian structure.Colin Mackenzie, who played a particularly important role in the rescuing of south India’s precolonial history (and he will play an important role Caste and Social Stratification in Medieval India Page 6 School of Distance Education in the story ahead), tried to distance himself from revenue debates, and committed himself to the collection of local texts while he engaged in his cartographic and surveying activities in the subcontinent between 1784 and his death in 1821.Significantly for our story here, he encountered very little concerning “caste” in his vast collection of local texts, traditions, and histories, nor did he comment frequently about it.In Mackenzie’s initial project of collecting representative texts, histories of places (particularly temples) and political families (and lineages) predominated.The south Indian landscape that he traversed was dotted with temples that served as convenient reference points for trigonometrical surveying and general route maps, due to the tall gopuram towers built over the gateways into temple structures that often served as centers for marketing and defense in addition to worship.Every temple had a history that inscribed the significance of its deity and the ground of the deities’ worship with a special past of miracle and power.The south Indian landscape had also been controlled by myriad little kingdoms, ranging widely in size, each with a family history for the chief or king.Thus the set of local tracts collected by Mackenzie contain literally hundreds of accounts of one lineage headman after another who managed to become a little king through a combination of strategies and successes.Frequently, of course, these stories were told as bids to become recognized as zamindars, if not as arguments per se for a zamindari-like settlement in the south. Mackenzie’s preoccupation with local chiefs and kings was in part the result of his clear recognition of the political landscape of late precolonial peninsular India; it was also in part a reflection of the more general recognition – both military and economic – of the need to understand the native aristocracy, its immediate past, and its claims to local authority. When Mackenzie began his survey of Mysore after the defeat of Tipu Sultan in 1799, the general assumption among most East India Company officials was that a revenue settlement with the local lords or zamindars, along the lines of the 1793 Permanent Settlement in Bengal, would be the most suitable form of local governance and revenue collection for Madras presidency.Thus Mackenzie’s archival concern with the political history of the Deccan made a great deal of sense for early colonial administration because of its emphasis on the pasts and pedigrees of the potential landlords of a zamindari revenue settlement. As the consensus around the need for a ryotwari settlement grew, interest among many of Mackenzie’s old friends in the results of his labors diminished.

The Maratha scholars and historians had worked hard to construct the history of the land and people of Maharashtra. Among such scholars people like Kashinath Sane, Rajwade, Khare and Parasnis were well known luminaries in this field of history writing of Maratha. Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century.

  • “Re-Rigging” the Vedas: Examining the Effects of Changing Education and Purity Standards and Political Influence on the Contemporary Hindu Priesthood
    “Re-Rigging” the Vedas: Examining the Effects of Changing Education and Purity Standards and Political Influence on the Contemporary Hindu Priesthood Christine Shanaberger Religious Studies RST 490 David McMahan, advisor Submitted: May 4, 2006 Graduated: May 13, 2006 1 Introduction In the academic study of religion, we are often given impressions about a tradition that are textually accurate, but do not directly correspond with its practice amongst its devotees. Hinduism is one such tradition where scholarly work has been predominately textual and quite removed from practices “on the ground.” While most scholars recognize that many indigenous Hindu practices do not conform to the Brahmanical standards described in ancient Hindu texts, there has only recently been a movement to study the “popular,” non-Brahmanical traditions, let alone to look at the Brahmanical practice and its variance with ancient conventions. I have personally experienced this inconsistency between textual and popular Hinduism. After spending a semester in India, I quickly realized that my background in the study of Hinduism was, indeed, merely a background. I found myself re-learning aspects of the tradition and theology that I thought I had already understood and redefining the meaning of many practices as I learned of their practical application. Most importantly, I discovered that Hindu practices and beliefs are so diverse that I could never anticipate who would believe or practice in what way. I met many “modernized” Indians who both ignored and retained many orthodox elements of their traditions, priests who were unaware of even the most basic elements of Hindu mythology, and devotees who had no qualms engaging in both orthodox Brahmin and quite unorthodox non-Brahmin religious practices.

It considers the construction and uses of ‘childhood’ as a conceptual category and the ways in which this informed intervention in the lives of children, particularly in the spheres of education and juvenile justice. Against a background of calls for national self-determination, the thesis considers elite debates about childhood as specifically ‘Indian’, examining the ways in which ‘the child’ emerged in late colonial South India as an object to be reformed and as a ‘human becoming’ or future citizen of an independent nation.

  • Comparison of Social Stratification Theories Between Marx and Weber Song Daoxin
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(6) Nov-Dec 2020 | Available online: https://ijels.com/ Comparison of Social Stratification Theories between Marx and Weber Song Daoxin China Railway Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd, China Received: 11 Oct 2020; Received in revised form: 12 Nov 2020; Accepted: 13 Nov 2020; Available online: 18 Nov 2020 Abstract— As two giants of classical sociology, Marx and Weber have made great contributions in the field of social stratification, the content of which discussed by the two scholars not only play an important role at that time but also bring inspiration to later sociologists. In modern society, however, because the invisible social stratum still exists and has a positive or negative impact on all aspects of people’s lives, analysis and comparison of social stratification theories by the two scholars are still of current significance. For exploring theories of social stratification by Marx and Weber, I will compare the differences and similarities between the two scholars’ theoretical research in the field of social stratification. After all is done, it is delighted for me to find that their ideological sources could be enlightenment for us to understand modern society better. Keywords— Social Stratification Theories, Marx, Weber. I. THE DIFFERENCES That is, social stratification based on three dimensions -- 1.1 The standard for social stratification “Economical order, Social order, and Political order” 1.1.1 Marx: Dichotomy (Bottero, 2005). “An individual’s stratification position For social stratification, Marx adopts a single standard depends on their overall location in all three orders, but of division, defining whether or not to possess the means of their class, status and party positions may not be identical” production and how much to possess (i.e.

  • Chapter V Religious Organization in Space
    CHAPTER V RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION IN SPACE CHAPTER - V RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IN SPACE 1) SACRED TERRITORY: Ritualization of local territory, often the village territory, is found in tribal areas. Actual demarcation of the ritualized village space takes place periodically among tribal folks in Maharashtra, e.g., on the occasion of Gao Bandhani festival. Tribal bhagat demarcates the boundary by drawing a line with his spear round the village and burying hens, eggs, lemons, haldi and kumkum along it at night in the Kolam tribal community. No one is allowed to leave the village on the day of Gao Bandhini. In an Hindu village the caste territory, a close sub-field of circulation and interaction, is clearly discernible in the distribution of castes, and is also made explicit in caste rules. The houses of the particular caste are located at specific place in Maharashtrian villages . The houses of Brahmins are at the centre of the village Rui (Kinwat tahsil) that in turn are surrounded by houses of Marathas (Refer Fig. No. 5.1A). The low caste Hindus and Muslims live on the periphery of the same village, as expected. The tribal Bhil community has settled beyond the road in the south. The houses of Brahmins and Marathas are close to the square in the village Nivall (BK.) (Refer Fig. No. 5.IB).

    Foundational Knowledge Stratification Theories/ Class Analysis SECTION ONE SOURCE: International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences. Ed. William A. Darity, Jr.. Vol. 8. 2nd ed. Detroit: Macmillan Reference USA, 2008. p166-167. Copyright: COPYRIGHT 2008 Gale, Cengage Learning Stratification The term stratification refers to the system of inequalities within and between societies, the processes of assignment to positions within a social hierarchy, and the means by which resources are allocated. Various theories have tried to explain how and why stratification systems emerged. The most prominent of these were developed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries following industrialization, which altered the social structures of traditional feudal and agrarian societies and gave rise to more complex urban societies. Before industrialization, societies were more stable and had much less economic inequality, and clear, fixed boundaries separated groups like the nobility from their subjects (see Lenski 1966). In his pioneering account, Karl Marx explained stratification as a product of the mode of production—the principal system of market organization (e.g., capitalism). He outlined a progressive transition from feudalism to capitalism and finally to socialism. Marx claimed that the organization and development of modern, industrial capitalist societies were driven by class relations. He argued that capitalist societies would grow increasingly divided between a capitalist class that owns the capital and therefore controls the means of production and a growing labor class (proletariat) that sells its labor to capitalists in order to survive. Marx predicted a struggle between capitalists and workers leading to the destruction of the capitalist system and the formation of a socialist society free of classes.

Listeners were invited to the BBC website to see what class they were in. Within a few days there were over 50,000 hits on the site, a record for this sort of thing. At least for the segment of the British population that listens to the BBC morning news, class remains a salient issue. In the broadcast a number of people were interviewed. One police inspector responded to being told that he was now classified in Class I along with doctors, lawyers and chief executives of corporations, by saying “Does it mean now I have to wear tennis whites when I go out to do my gardening?....I don’t see myself socially or economically in the same class as them.” In a subsequent “live chat” program with Professor David Rose of Essex University, the principle designer of the new census categories, many people called up complaining about the coding scheme.
