Primarily Hindu societal concept Class /= caste. Is a set of social relations within a system of production (financial). Caste, conversely, is something you‟re born into. * as caste barriers are breaking down in modern India, class barriers are becoming more prominent. * first mention of caste differences are in the Rig Veda, which may have referred to main divisions of ancient Aryan society * the Rig Veda mentions a creation myth “Hymn of the Primeval Man” which refers to the creation of the universe and the division of man into four groups of body parts (below under section 3) * outsiders consider caste to the be the defining aspect of indian society. Megasthenes and Alberuni both focus on that when they analyze the culture. Jati or jat – subcaste. these have distinct names like “Gaud Saraswat Brahmins”.

  • Identity and Composite Culture : the Bengal Case
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 58(1), 2013, pp. 1-25 IDENTITY AND COMPOSITE CULTURE : THE BENGAL CASE Sushil Chaudhury* The main thrust of the paper is to examine the evolution of a composite culture in Bengal, and to explain its nature and character, especially from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century which is the period when it evolved and flourished in the region. This exercise is significant even today as the legacy from the past is still vibrant in many parts of the country, Bangladesh or West Bengal. For instance, there was a news report in The Statesman of January 10, 2006 that at a place in rural Bengal, called Maynagar in Tamluk, about 90 kilometers west of Kolkata, a pir’s dargah is looked after by a Hindu trustee and a fair organized by the authorities of a Radhagobinda temple include a Muslim as part of centuries-old tradition.1 Such instances abound in many parts of Bengal even now and there is little doubt that this tradition comes down from several centuries earlier. While talking about the evolution of a composite culture, it is pertinent to see how it was intertwined with the question of identity of Bengali Muslims. The Islamic revitalizing and purificatory movements in Bengal in the nineteenth century laid bare the roots of cleavage and dualism between Bengali Muslim’s cultural position, caught between the opposite pulls of Bengal localism and Islamic extra-territoriality. The said new movements, combined with the changed social and political circumstances of Bengal under the British domination, sharpened the focus, as never before, on the “Islamic” identity of the Bengali believers, with the result that a massive and organized assault on the syncretistic tradition and on the cultural values and norms, necessary to sustain it, followed to which we shall turn later.

Bhakti or devotion to God is a deep personal feeling and an expression of one’s spiritual or mystical experience. There are plethora of poet-seers in India and women had to suffer even to find a place in Bhakti cult as it is also patriarchal. Women had to debate with men and had to be stubborn to demonstrate their devotion through poetry. Through their devotional poetry women have not only expressed their piety but also raised their voice against several biases’ existent in the then society. Women personally have adopted unique ways to express themselves. This paper unleashes seer women poets in pre-colonial and colonial India who composed in the regional language deliberately breaking the literary and the religious hold of Sanskrit. Keywords: bhakti, women, struggle for recognition, reformist ideas 1. Introduction (55). It is a transcendental mystical experience beyond the Literature in the Indian context beginning from the ancient everyday experience. times generally would never had been made possible Indian religious literature in the early years was sectarian in without religion and spiritual aspects impressing upon it nature.

University of Delhi Abstract Indian society has always been a caste-based society. Caste has formed the very base for all its rules, regulations, codes and conventions as a result of which, Indian population unfortunately till date is divided into 2 groups: The Upper Caste and Lower Caste. High caste population tend to get everything, be it property, voting rights, land, wealth, education etc. not because they deserve it but because Vedas and Puranas have got their back. On the other hand, maximum number of lower caste people are destined to struggle throughout their life for even the basic necessities like water, clothes, food and shelter. We Indians, thanks to the struggle and fight from lower caste section most important weapon for which was Dalit Literature, have somehow managed to use „maximum number of lower caste people‟ instead of „all the lower caste people‟. Dalit Literature which technically emerged during Bhakti Tradition with the voice of many Untouchables like Chokhamela , Dadu Dayal, Ravidas etc. gained a modern outlook with Marathi Dalit Panther Movement. It spread to almost all the corners of the world from there and Telugu Dalit Literature is no exception.
