R. Ambedkar) Abstract The Hindu Code Bill are the thoughts of such a social reformer who want to reforme the conditions of women making the important laws and regulations about Indian women. In this series Dr. B.R. Ambedkar proves himself such a thinker in India who thinks about reformation of Indian women legally. According to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, “Women is a main piller of a family whose role is an important in a family i.e. she is first teacher of a child and to make a personality of a child, she has in the centre of a family. If a women in a family is literate, then she will try to literate her child in any condition and literacy is very essential for a civilized society as well as literacy is aware to a women for her rights in a society. Before this Bill, the conditions of Indian women were very miserable—she has no right to take education, no right to live free life, she always depend on her family members like a slave in society. So, the Hindu Code Bill was a step which tried to reform the conditions of Indian women and tried to give the rights of education, services, freedom and to live the life like a man.

Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India
Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India By Michael James Levien A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair Professor Raka Ray Professor Peter Evans Professor Michael Watts Spring 2013 Abstract Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India by Michael James Levien Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair The aim of the present work is to advance a theoretical framework for the comparative study of dispossession by explaining how the political economy of land dispossession has transformed from state-led developmentalism to neoliberalism in India. The dissertation compares the archetypical forms of dispossession in each period and argues that they constitute different regimes of dispossession. A regime of dispossession is an institutionalized way of expropriating landed assets from their current owners or users. Each regime of dispossession is distinguished by: 1) a set of purposes for which a state is willing to dispossess land and 2) a way of producing compliance to that dispossession. Under different regimes, dispossession facilitates different kinds of accumulation with variable developmental consequences. These consequences crucially effect the long-term political stability of a regime of dispossession. Between independence in 1947 and economic liberalization in the early 1990s, India operated under a developmentalist regime of dispossession. Under this regime, the Indian state dispossessed land for state-led industrial and infrastructural projects, ensuring compliance through coercion and powerful ideological appeals to national development. -

Tatagaru, if you can read this: You brought me up and taught me how to go beyond myself. ii Abstract In this dissertation, I suggest that the Indian political leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi infused deep and enigmatic meanings into everyday physical objects, particularly buildings. Indeed, the manner in which Gandhi named the buildings in his famous Satyagraha Ashram in Ahmedabad in the early part of the twentieth century, makes it somewhat difficult to write, in isolation, about their physical appearance.
