Arul Kamaraj Assistant Professor Department of Social Work, Loyola College, Chennai – 600034 Introduction Human beings are diverse and differ from one another in every sphere of human living. The external characteristics of thenatural and social environment of the place of living, family, culture, language, caste, and religion differ from person to person. The personal characteristics like age, sex. Physical and psychological abilities, skills and attitude differ from each other. In such diverse existence differences, exclusions, discrimination, alienation does happen individually and collectively. One cannot ignore the unequal treatment of the ones who experience such negative experiences but need to understand and evolve counteractive approaches of acceptance, inclusion, equality, equal opportunities, and treatment with respect paving the way forequality and freedom. “Dalits” who are the scheduled castes in every religion are subjected to all forms of discrimination and are excluded because of their birth and as untouchables with the social stigma attached to their human identity. Their identity is ascriptive and traditional attached to purity-pollution brahminical imposed religious fundamentalist theory and not acquired through merit. Dalits have suffered all forms of discrimination, domination, denial, and exclusion for centuries” (Hans, 2013). Government and Civil society have taken a lot of development efforts for the empowerment of Dalits, but the benefits do not reach them substantially. They are discriminated in all forms. Caste discrimination against Dalits is strongly pronounced. Even after seventy years of independence Dalits still, are living below the line of poverty with impoverished conditions. They are now awakening to be included in the mainstream but still struggling for social inclusion facing the challenges with hope. Dalits in India Dalits are those persons who belong to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST). They face various forms of discrimination such as socio, economic, cultural, religious and political based activities in the society.According to 2011 Census of India, Scheduled castes comprise 16.6 percentof the total population of India, that is, they number over 17crores. Scheduled tribes constitute 8.6 percent of the population, that is, they number over eight cores. Both together comprises of 25.2 percent of the Indian population, that is, they togethernumber over 25 Crores. In the whole of India, it is found that Tamil Nadu stands third with regard to Scheduled Castes population and ranks second with regard to Literacy rate (73.26%) among Scheduled Castes in India. Dalits in India generally are associated with menial jobs such as disposing of the carcass, skinning the hides, tanning, works on leather goods, sweeping, scavenging, etc. These occupations are mostly hereditary and are destined to do the job compulsorily. Hence Dalits, in general, are excluded from the mainstream society as they engage in such types of works. The worst part of it is in justification given through religion. The right to pray to a God has always been a high caste privilege. The complexity of religious ritual is directly proportionate to social status.Thus Dalits have been formally excluded from religion, from education, from owning a land, in the entire sanctified universe. Today, extensive policies on affirmative action have opened up government service and state education to Dalits. But areas of New Horizons of Dalit Culture and Literature 2 freedom are limited and controlled by dominant castes. Exclusion from every Socio-economic, cultural and political network emerges from the Dalit’s crucial

  • Chapter 1, Version A
    INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AND SCHOOL REFORM IN POSTCOLONIAL INDIA Mousumi Mukherjee MA, MPhil, Calcutta University; MA Loyola University Chicago; EdM University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Education Policy and Leadership Melbourne Graduate School of Education University of Melbourne [5 June 2015] Keywords Inclusive Education, Equity, Democratic School Reform, Girls’ Education, Missionary Education, Postcolonial theory, Globalization, Development Inclusive Education and School Reform in Postcolonial India i Abstract Over the past two decades, a converging discourse has emerged around the world concerning the importance of socially inclusive education. In India, the idea of inclusive education is not new, and is consistent with the key principles underpinning the Indian constitution. It has been promoted by a number of educational thinkers of modern India such as Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Gandhi, Ambedkar, Azad and Tagore. However, the idea of inclusive education has been unevenly and inadequately implemented in Indian schools, which have remained largely socially segregated. There are of course major exceptions, with some schools valiantly seeking to realize social inclusion. One such school is in Kolkata, which has been nationally and globally celebrated as an example of best practice. The main aim of this thesis is to examine the initiative of inclusive educational reform that this school represents. It analyses the school’s understanding of inclusive education; provides an account of how the school promoted its achievements, not only within its own community but also around the world; and critically assesses the extent to which the initiatives are sustainable in the long term.

  • Buddhism, Democracy and Dr. Ambedkar: the Building of Indian National Identity Milind Kantilal Solanki, Pratap B
    International Journal of English, Literature and Social Science (IJELS) Vol-4, Issue-4, Jul – Aug 2019 https://dx.doi.org/10.22161/ijels.4448 ISSN: 2456-7620 Buddhism, Democracy and Dr. Ambedkar: The Building of Indian National Identity Milind Kantilal Solanki, Pratap B. Ratad Assistant Professor, Department of English, KSKV Kachchh University, Bhuj, Gujrat, India Research Scholar, Department of English, KSKV Kachchh University, Bhuj, Gujrat, India Abstract— Today, people feel that democratic values are in danger and so is the nation under threat. Across nations we find different systems of government which fundamentally take care of what lies in their geographical boundaries and the human lives living within it. The question is not about what the common-man feels and how they survive, but it is about their liberty and representation. There are various forms of government such as Monarchy, Republic, Unitary State, Tribalism, Feudalism, Communism, Totalitarianism, Theocracy, Presidential, Socialism, Plutocracy, Oligarchy, Dictatorship, Meritocracy, Federal Republic, Republican Democracy, Despotism, Aristocracy and Democracy. The history of India is about ten thousand years and India is one of the oldest civilizations. The democratic system establishes the fundamental rights of human beings. Democracy also takes care of their representation and their voice. The rise of Buddhism in India paved the way for human liberty and their suppression from monarchs and monarchy. The teachings of Buddha directly and indirectly strengthen the democratic values in Indian subcontinent. The rise of Dr. Ambedkar on the socio-political stage of this nation ignited the suppressed minds and gave a new hope to them for equality and equity.

  • Ambedkar and the Dalit Buddhist Movement in India (1950- 2000)
    International Journal of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 2 Issue 6 ǁ July 2017. www.ijahss.com Ambedkar and The Dalit Buddhist Movement in India (1950- 2000) Dr. Shaji. A Faculty Member, Department of History School of Distance Education University of Kerala, Palayam, Thiruvananthapuram Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was one of the most remarkable men of his time, and the story of his life is the story of his exceptional talent and outstanding force of character which helped him to succeed in overcoming some of the most formidable obstacles that an unjust and oppressive society has ever placed in the way of an individual. His contribution to the cause of Dalits has undoubtedly been the most significant event in 20th century India. Ambedkar was a man whose genius extended over diverse issues of human affairs. Born to Mahar parents, he would have been one of the many untouchables of his times, condemned to a life of suffering and misery, had he not doggedly overcome the oppressive circumstances of his birth to rise to pre-eminence in India‘s public life. The centre of life of Ambedkar was his devotion to the liberation of the backward classes and he struggled to find a satisfactory ideological expression for that liberation. He won the confidence of the- untouchables and became their supreme leader. To mobilise his followers he established organisations such as the Bahishkrit Hitkarni Sabha, Independent Labour Party and later All India Scheduled Caste Federation. He led a number of temple-entry Satyagrahas, organized the untouchables, established many educational institutions and propagated his views through newspapers like the 'Mooknayak', 'Bahishkrit Bharat' and 'Janata'.
