The process of modernization that had gained momentum after independence from colonial rule has been galvanized further with the currents of globalization. The government has been implementing various development schemes to change the rural society in terms of creating economic opportunities, and providing health and educational facilities etc. For a changing environment, a new approach is needed for understanding the change and then taking appropriate steps to steer it in the desired direction. This book on Rural Society and Polity is designed to provide a foundation for understanding the rural society from the frameworks of sociology. For students of Rural Management, it is crucial to grasp the basic social structure and processes of Indian society in the countryside. For a country like India, which is so diverse in different aspects, it is difficult to provide a singular framework to understand the rural society. In fact, we need to imagine rural societies than just a singular rural society. Therefore, in this book different framework and approaches has been brought in to present different perspective to understand social realities. An attempt has been made to capture the regional, religious, cultural and other diversities that we come across in rural India. An emphasis has been given to understand the society from the perspective of the subaltern that is the groups of people who are marginalized historically for various reasons. The pedagogical approach in this book is not only to familiarize the students with different perspectives, but also to encourage them to learn from outside the limits of the text from multiple sources. Watching films and documentaries for gaining a perspective has been integrated in this textbook. Moreover, an emphasis has been placed to learn through critical reflection on our everyday lives, and by observing the society around us. The students are urged to look beyond their own social location and think of people living in different social settings. This would help them to sideline their own biases or judgments, and get a more nuanced understanding of the social situation under consideration. Judging other from our own location may lead to misjudgment or wrong diagnosis, and therefore, would not be helpful to find right solutions. Rural India is beset with myriad set of problems, but there is also a lot of possibilities provided resources are managed properly through adequate policy initiatives. The book attempts to focus on explaining the social problems within the society, and also engages in critical appreciation of various policies. We hope, this will help the students grow up as critically aware and better-informed professionals. I thank the contributors: Dr. Byasa Moharana, Assistant Professor Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Ms Aishwarya Bhuta, Independent Scholar, Mumbai and Dr Jyotirmayee Tudu, Assistant Professor Public Administration in Utkal University to this book for their outstanding insights. Also, I would like to thank MGNCRE Team members for extending their extreme support in completing this text book.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

To my knowledge, there is no such provision in the Rules of the Assembly which we have adopted, according to which a motion of this nature can be brought forward by the Chair. So, Sir, we would like to know under what extraordinary provision or rule this procedure is being adopted because I would say in all humility that the draft of the motion that is being brought forward before this House today is not merely not above criticism but also there is scope for correction not only from the point of view of draftsmanship but also that of substance as well. Therefore I would beg of you to tell us whether there is any Rule which we have adopted which authorises the Chair to bring forward a motion of this nature, and whether once having been moved from the Chair, all criticism and discussion would be shut out on this motion.

Krishnamachari : (Madras: General) : Mr. President, I move: "That with reference to amendment No. 6 of List I (Sixth Week), in the proposed entry 7 of List I of the Seventh Schedule, for the words 'local self-government' the words 'local government' be substituted. This has been explained by Dr. Ambedkar yesterday. There is no need for me to explain that further. Shri Mahavir Tyagi : (United Provinces : General) : Sir, I am sorry that for a small matter yesterday you adjourned the House; otherwise I think it would have been clairfied yesterday. My difficulty is that when you put the Cantonments and Cantonment Boards and the regulation of house accommodation (including the control of rents in such areas in the hands of the Government of India) a great inconvenience will be felt. Personally, I feel that the cantonments in various States are not imperial islets. For all practical purposes, all the civil population in cantonments is controlled by the States. The cantonments were brought into being just to see that the sanitation of those places was suitable to the military neighbourhood and that all local government activities were in the hands of the military authorities or at least influenced by military authorities, so that the military areas may not find any sort of inconvenience with regard to health, hygiene or other matters.
