  • Mobility and Marginalization in the Space Politics of Ahmedabad Author
    A Caste-coded City: Mobility and Marginalization in the Space Politics of Ahmedabad Author: Dyotana Banerjee The dissertation examines how caste operates as one of the principal axes of urban political economy of post-liberalization Ahmedabad. It uses an ethnographic study to capture the major shifts and continuities in the cultural and political production of two distinct kinds of pre and post-liberalization Dalit neighbourhoods in Ahmedabad. Highlighting the politics of identity, aspiration, resistance and marginalization in Dalit engagement with the urban spaces of Ahmedabad, the dissertation situates these local forms of spatial politics against the backdrop of urban political economy in post-liberalization India. It argues that greater economic mobility associated with rapid urbanization produces increasingly homogenous and exclusionary spaces in terms of class within caste and vice versa. In Ahmedabad, middle class and working class Dalit identities are articulated, materially and discursively, through a range of socio-cultural dispositions that are embedded within the dominant Hindutva politics of the state. The emergent Dalit politics and spaces draw on and simultaneously reconstitute hegemonic norms of aesthetics, political aspirations and contestations that reveal the complexities of the urban- caste nexus. The dissertation largely draws from the theoretical understanding on spatial reorganization of social relations in the urban political economy by Henry Lefebvre, Manuel Castell and David Harvey. One of the chapters of the dissertation focuses on how the role of caste is both masked and intensified in the formation of new neighbourhoods in the backdrop of city-remaking projects. What are the mechanisms by which inter-caste (between upper castes and Dalits) and intra- Dalit exclusion get produced in emergent middle-class neighbourhoods? It analyzes the processes that underpin the migration of Dalit communities from Ahmedabad’s old industrial centres such as Gomtipur to the emergent neighbourhood of Chandkheda in the city’s periphery.

    Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of... https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/country-information/rir/Pages/index.aspx?doc=4... Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada India: Treatment of Dalits by society and authorities; availability of state protection (2016- January 2020) 1. Overview According to sources, the term Dalit means "'broken'" or "'oppressed'" (Dalit Solidarity n.d.a; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). Sources indicate that this group was formerly referred to as "'untouchables'" (Dalit Solidarity n.d.a; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). They are referred to officially as "Scheduled Castes" (India 13 July 2006, 1; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). The Indian National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) identified that Scheduled Castes are communities that "were suffering from extreme social, educational and economic backwardness arising out of [the] age-old practice of untouchability" (India 13 July 2006, 1). The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) [1] indicates that the list of groups officially recognized as Scheduled Castes, which can be modified by the Parliament, varies from one state to another, and can even vary among districts within a state (CHRI 2018, 15). According to the 2011 Census of India [the most recent census (World Population Review [2019])], the Scheduled Castes represent 16.6 percent of the total Indian population, or 201,378,086 persons, of which 76.4 percent are in rural areas (India 2011). The census further indicates that the Scheduled Castes constitute 18.5 percent of the total rural population, and 12.6 percent of the total urban population in India (India 2011).

It appears that overhauling of the entire structure of regulatory intervention is crucially dependent on giving autonomy to the students, teachers and universities. An examination of the NEP through the lens of the faculty would reveal how the role and performance of the professoriate have been assessed in the overall diagnosis of the challenges facing the Indian higher education system. This paper discusses the concept of autonomy of the teachers as well as of the university and how the issue of institutionalisation of accountability has been dealt in the NEP. This paper critically examines two fundamental policy recommendations, one, the proposal to raise public funding to 6 per cent of GDP for the education sector as a whole and two, to curb commercialisation and encourage philanthropy in higher education. The way entire architecture of regulatory intervention has been designed, it seems that a quasi-market for higher education is to be constructed to foster competitiveness both within the higher education institution and within the higher education system.
