Degree College Chodavaram Visakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh State, India Abstract: The lambada community are the most vulnerable group among the other sections of the society. Most of the tribes lost their education and turned out to be unskilled labour suiting only low profile jobs like salesmen, helpers etc. A large group of young girls and women in the thandas are deprived of education, due to prevalence of social stigmas, cultural ethos and inaccessibility to educational institutions. Due to this many of the young girls remain at homes ending their school education at the very early ages, assisting their mother in house hold activities or their fathers in agricultural work turning up as unskilled labour. The present study is an attempt to expedite the social, economical and political state of affairs affecting the livelihood of Lambada community in the

  • Identity Issues of Girls from Single-Sex Convent Schools in India

    Identity Issues of Girls from Single-Sex Convent Schools in India

    IDENTITY ISSUES OF GIRLS FROM SINGLE-SEX CONVENT SCHOOLS IN INDIA Sneha Pandey Department of Integrated Studies in Education Faculty of Education McGill University, Montreal 2019 Thesis Supervisor Dr. Ratna Ghosh A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (Education and Society) ©Sneha Pandey, 2019 ABSTRACT This research outlines the impact of a single-sex convent school in New Delhi on the self- perception, social behavior, and sexual identity of young women in India. This analysis has been conducted within the context of the intersections of Indian patriarchy and the centuries long subjugation of Indian women’s identities with the Christian missionary, colonial legacy of convent schools. I argue that the combination of these two contexts creates a negative impact on young girls and that although the Convent presents itself as an empowering institute, in practice it is only perpetuating and reinforcing the socio-cultural ideologies that subjugate Indian women. I further argue that the “empowerment” that the Convent claims to be equipping young women with is superficial, in that it seeks to provide women with a degree for economic advantage without preparing them to challenge and transform the larger social customs and beliefs pervasive in Indian society. This study was conducted through an analysis of the school’s expressed goals and policies and their rules for young women through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis. This was supplemented with an analysis of interviews conducted with eight former students of the Convent. The interviews were conducted and analyzed according to the principles of Narrative Feminist Research.

The thesis examines the interplay between institutional practices and students’ agency within schools (drawing on Connell’s 2000 framework), while I use the concept of ‘sexual learning’ in order to consider young people’s experiences both within and beyond the classroom (Thomson & Scott 1991).
  • Women in Hindu Dharma- a Tribute

    Women in Hindu Dharma- a Tribute

    Women in Hindu Dharma- a Tribute Respected Ladies and Gentlemen1, Namaste! Women and the Divine Word:- Let me start my talk with a recitation from the Vedas2, the ‘Divinely Exhaled’ texts of Hindu Dharma – Profound thought was the pillow of her couch, Vision was the unguent for her eyes. Her wealth was the earth and Heaven, When Surya (the sun-like resplendent bride) went to meet her husband.3 Her mind was the bridal chariot, And sky was the canopy of that chariot. Orbs of light were the two steers that pulled the chariot, When Surya proceeded to her husband’s home!4 The close connection of women with divine revelation in Hinduism may be judged from the fact that of the 407 Sages associated with the revelation of Rigveda, twenty-one5 are women. Many of these mantras are quite significant for instance the hymn on the glorification of the Divine Speech.6 The very invocatory mantra7 of the Atharvaveda8 addresses divinity as a ‘Devi’ – the Goddess, who while present in waters, fulfills all our desires and hopes. In the Atharvaveda, the entire 14th book dealing with marriage, domestic issues etc., is attributed to a woman. Portions9 of other 19 books are also attributed to women sages10. 1 It is a Hindu tradition to address women before men in a group, out of reverence for the former. For instance, Hindu wedding invitations are normally addressed ‘To Mrs. and Mr. Smith’ and so on and not as ‘To Mr. And Mrs. Smith’ or as ‘ To Mr. and Mrs. John Smith’ or even as ‘To Mrs.

Using social constructionism and poststructuralism, this study addresses the research questions: How did Bangladeshi young men receive sex education during adolescence? How did they interpret their experiences? How did their narratives reproduce and/or disrupt dominant discourses related to sex education, including discourses around sexuality, teenagerhood, masculinity, and manhood? Based on the qualitative data collected from nine in-depth Skype interviews with young men in Bangladesh, nine themes emerged.

  • The Earliest Textual Attestation of ' Dharmaśāstra '

    The Earliest Textual Attestation of ' Dharmaśāstra '

    2020 November 1 The earliest textual attestation of ‘d harmaśāstra ’ and more: An analysis of chronology in ‘ A Dharma Reader ’ मेघ काणसुरम ् (Megh Kalyanasundaram) | [email protected] Abstract Which is the earliest extant textual attestation of the word ‘dharmaśāstra’ ? Is the birth of the Dharmaśāstra genre causally linked, and incontrovertibly indebted, to the Buddha and emperor Aśoka? Patrick Olivelle’s 2016 book ‘ A Dharma Reader - Classical Indian Law ’ 1 contains statements that appear to be pointed answers to the above questions, a pointedness that I find pregnant with serious revisionist implications of profound consequence not just to the textual history of the term ‘dharmaśāstra’ and the origins of the Dharmaśāstra genre but also to the history of the idea of Dharma itself and perhaps to some people of those traditions in which Dharma is seen as Sanātana. In this paper, I foreground aforementioned statements of Olivelle (who has been hailed by Dominik Wujastyk as the world’s leading authority on the history of Indian dharma), delineate some of their revisionist implications and present a critical analysis of some of his reasoning and conclusions thereof. In doing so, a case is made for the need to pay attention to attempts at altering chronology, particularly those that enable tendentious attributions through imagined cause-and-effect hypotheses accompanied by sweeping consequences.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthropology - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu Baba Bhagawan Ram Ji, a well-established saint of the holy city of Varanasi in north India, initiated many changes into the erstwhile Aghor tradition of ascetics in India. This tradition is regarded as an ancient system of spiritual or mystical knowledge by its practitioners and at least some of the practices followed in this tradition can certainly be traced back at least to the time of the Buddha. Over the course of the centuries practitioners of this tradition have interacted with groups of other mystical traditions, exchanging ideas and practices so that both parties in the exchange appear to have been influenced by the other. Naturally, such an interaction between groups can lead to difficulty in determining a clear course of development of the tradition. In this dissertation I bring together micro-history, hagiography, folklore, religious and comparative studies together in an attempt to understand how this modern day religious-spiritual tradition has been shaped by the past and the role religion has to play in modern life, if only with reference to a single case study.
