    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.

  • The Chantyal Language1 Michael Noonan University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CrossAsia-Repository The Chantyal Language1 Michael Noonan University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 1. introduction The Chantyal language is spoken by approximately 2000 of the 10,000 ethnic Chantyal. The Chantyal live in the Baglung and Myagdi Districts of Nepal; the villages where the Chantyal language is spoken are all located in the eastern portion of the Myagdi District and include the villages of Mangale Kh‚ni, Dw‚ri, Ghy“s Khark‚, Caura Kh‚ni, Kuine Kh‚ni, Th‚r‚ Kh‚ni, P‚tle Khark‚, M‚l‚mp‚h‚r, and Malk‚b‚ng. There is relatively little linguistic variation among these villages, though where differences exist, it is the speech of Mangale Kh‚ni that is represented here. The Chantyal language is a member of the Tamangic group [along with Gurung, Thakali, Nar-Phu and Tamang, the last two of which are discussed in this volume]. Within the group, it is lexically and grammatically closest to Thakali. Assessment of the internal relations within the group is complicated by a number of factors, among which is the fact that shared innovations may be the product of geographic contiguity as much as shared genetic background. At the moment, the most likely classification is as fol- lows: Tamangic Tamang complex Gurungic Manangba—Nar-Phu complex Gurung Thakali—Chantyal Thakali Chantyal Chantyal, however, is in many respects the most deviant member of the group, lacking a tone system and having borrowed a large portion of its lexicon from Nepali.

Bhandari PhD, Professor and Deputy Program Director of Sustainability Studies, Akamai University, Hawaii, USA, Professor of Economics and Entrepreneurships, Sumy State University, Ukraine Nepal is certainly one of the more romanticized places on earth, with its towering Himalayas, its abomi- nable snowmen, and its musically named capital, Kathmandu, a symbol of all those faraway places the imperial imagination dreamt about. And the Sherpa people ... are perhaps one of the more romanticized people of the world, renowned for their mountaineering feats, and found congeal by Westerners tour their warm, friendly, strong, self-confident style" (Sherry Ortner, 1978: 10). “All Nepalese, whether they realize it or not, are immensely sophisticated in their knowledge and appreciation cultural differences. It is a rare Nepalese indeed who knows how to speak only one language” (James Fisher 1987:33). Abstract Nepal is unique in terms of culture, religion, and geography as well as in its Indigenous Communities (IC). There has always been domination by the mainstream culture and religion; however, until recently there was no visible friction and violence between any religious groups and ICs. Within the societal structure, there was an effort to maintain harmonious relationships, at least on the surface.

  • Contempt and Labour: an Exploration Through Muslim Barbers of South Asia
    religions Article Contempt and Labour: An Exploration through Muslim Barbers of South Asia Safwan Amir Madras Institute of Development Studies, University of Madras, Chennai 600020, India; [email protected] Received: 9 September 2019; Accepted: 4 November 2019; Published: 6 November 2019 Abstract: This article explores historical shifts in the ways the Muslim barbers of South Asia are viewed and the intertwined ways they are conceptualised. Tracing various concepts, such as caste identity, and their multiple links to contempt, labour and Islamic ethical discourses and practices, this article demonstrates shifting meanings of these concepts and ways in which the Muslim barbers of Malabar (in southwest India) negotiate religious and social histories as well as status in everyday life. The aim was to link legal and social realms by considering how bodily comportment of barbers and pious Muslims intersect and diverge. Relying on ethnographic fieldwork among Muslim barbers of Malabar and their oral histories, it becomes apparent that status is negotiated in a fluid community where professional contempt, multiple attitudes about modernity and piety crosscut one another to inform local perceptions of themselves or others. This paper seeks to avoid the presentation of a teleology of past to present, binaries distinguishing professionals from quacks, and the pious from the scorned. The argument instead is that opposition between caste/caste-like practices and Islamic ethics is more complex than an essentialised dichotomy would convey. Keywords: barber; Ossan; caste; Islam; contempt; labour; Mappila; Makti Thangal; Malabar; South Asia 1. Introduction The modern nation-state of India has maintained an ambiguous relationship with caste and minority religions especially concerning reservation policies in various state and non-state sectors.

  • Compliance Or Defiance? the Case of Dalits and Mahadalits
    Kunnath, Compliance or defiance? COMPLIANCE OR DEFIANCE? THE CASE OF DALITS AND MAHADALITS GEORGE KUNNATH Introduction Dalits, who remain at the bottom of the Indian caste hierarchy, have resisted social and economic inequalities in various ways throughout their history.1 Their struggles have sometimes taken the form of the rejection of Hinduism in favour of other religions. Some Dalit groups have formed caste-based political parties and socio-religious movements to counter upper-caste domination. These caste-based organizations have been at the forefront of mobilizing Dalit communities in securing greater benefits from the Indian state’s affirmative action programmes. In recent times, Dalit organizations have also taken to international lobbying and networking to create wider platforms for the promotion of Dalit human rights and development. Along with protest against the caste system, Dalit history is also characterized by accommodation and compliance with Brahmanical values. The everyday Dalit world is replete with stories of Dalit communities consciously or unconsciously adopting upper-caste beliefs and practices. They seem to internalize the negative images and representations of themselves and their castes that are held and propagated by the dominant groups. Dalits are also internally divided by caste, with hierarchical rankings. They themselves thus often seem to reinforce and even reproduce the same system and norms that oppress them. This article engages with both compliance and defiance by Dalit communities. Both these concepts are central to any engagement with populations living in the context of oppression and inequality. Debates in gender studies, colonial histories and subaltern studies have engaged with the simultaneous existence of these contradictory processes.
