  • ''Freedom Struggle Has to Go On...''
    POINT OF VIEW ‘‘Freedom Struggle Has to Go On...’’ [Nirmala Deshpande is a name, which does not require any introduction. A widely acclaimed social activist Nirmala is one of the flagbearers of non-violence in the country. Born in 1929, she joined Acharya Vinoba Bhave’s Bhoodan Padyatra in 1952, and covered more than 40 thousand miles touching all nooks and corners of India. She has been the president of Harijan Sevak Sangh, founded by Mahatma Gandhi. In 2005 Nirmala was nominated for Nobel Peace Prize and in 2006 she was awarded with Rajiv Gandhi National Sadbhavana Award. She has been working in troubled areas of Kashmir valley for peace since long. Currently she is a member of Rajya Sabha. Nirmala Deshdande talked to Santosh H K Narayan of Headlinesindia on various issues ranging from politics to Naxalite movement in India. Excerpts :] Q: How much relevant is the ‘Gandhian Value’ in the present scenario? NIRMALA DESHPANDE: We know that UN (United Nations) has declared the Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday — October 2 as an International Day for Non- violence. It reveals that not only India but the whole world recognises Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy. His actions and programmes are becoming more and more relevant for the contemporary world. Q: But it is seen that in India, we are neglecting him in each and every aspect. NIRMALA DESHPANDE: I think, it is the perception of those who are metro centric (Urbanites). Go to rural areas and countryside, you would come across a general change in perception. I have been to almost all places in India and discovered that Gandhi is becoming more and more relevant.

  • 0 Satnami Self-Assertion and Dalit Activism: Everyday Life and Caste In
    Satnami Self-Assertion and Dalit Activism: everyday life and caste in rural Chhattisgarh (central India) Yasna Singh A thesis submitted to the Department of Anthropology at the London School of Economics (LSE) for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, March 2013 0 Abstract This thesis is an ethnographic exploration of the way in which local actors who engage in Ambedkarite discourses in rural Chhattisgarh are disconnected from the larger pan-Indian social movement. It goes beyond the literature that looks at Dalits in the urban context by focusing on Dalits in rural India. The aspects under investigation are caste, social and sectarian movements, youth, rights, intergenerational difference and education. The Satnami community examined here is located in a village where they are in more or less the same economic position to other castes. These other castes, however, practice ‘distancing’ from them to avoid ‘pollution’, which is a cause for smouldering resentment. Satnamis have been historically militant. They acquired additional land and assert themselves through a sectarian movement. They have their own functionaries and pilgrimage site. Their sectarian ideology advances the claim that they are independent (swatantra) from other castes and have mitigated exchange (len-den) with them. Nevertheless, they remain at the bottom of the village caste hierarchy and face everyday forms of caste oppression. Educated Satnamis in the younger generation claim that they know more (jaankar) about their rights (adhikaar) and aspire to change by becoming “key social animators”. These young men are organised in an association (samiti/samuh) that draws on Ambedkar’s ideas about overcoming caste oppression.
