Reconstruction of identities by using literary texts in specific context of Punjab is the central motif of the present volume. It is a collective effort to understand the evolution of the Punjabi society in terms of religion gender caste class and rivalry. Starting from the 18 century text the volume explores various facets of the social life of Punjab till the end of colonial period. Despite the varying approaches of the contributors it seems clear that there was a definite change in the way religion and gender in particular were constructed across time that spans three centuries. In the case of religion there has been a movement from composite religious practices to the construction of singular religious tradition which was done in a way that culminated into the communal riots and killing and displacement of millions of Punjabis. The construction of gender presents the most interesting dimension of the Punjabi Society. The struggle of woman against patriarchy becomes visible even in the 18 century and in the 19 century the first Punjabi woman poet Peero raises the voice against suppression and marginality of woman in the Punjabi Society. An endeavour towards the construction of gender identity in the 19 century became simultaneously an act of creation of religious boundaries as was evident in the writings of Bhai Vir Singh. Further an attempt has been made to show how these identities form the crucial element in the dynamism of society. The historical and sociological evidence corroborates the interpretation of select literary texts to understand the Punjabi Society. Seen historically the interpretative analyses of the texts show tremendous continuity in the forging reinterpretation and reconstruction of identities. The synthesis and fission of religious identities created contestation that culminated into riots at a historical moment. In a way the volume shows the process through which the Punjabi society passed from pre colonial to the colonial period. 214 pp.

Discoursing the Partitioned Voices: Punjab and Kashmir. 5. Property Acquisition: In the Name of Community. 6. Fifteen Years that Never Ended: The Language Debate. 7. Elusive Consensus: The Sikh Issue. 8. Unrevised Perspectives: Third Reading. The present work is an attempt to understand how the founding leaders of independent India envisaged and made an effort to realise the modern Indian society by rupturing the colonial legacy with the typical local, blended with the western universal principles of equality, justice, freedom and socialism. At the time of independence, most of the population of the country was backward, illiterate and poor, and was living in villages. Cities were the seats of exercise of colonial power and all decisions were taken in the urban centres. On top of all these challenges was the socio-cultural diversity of the country's population. The members of the Constituent Assembly dominated by the Congressmen who were mostly the freedom fighters under Gandhi, took upon themselves to meet the daunting task of drafting the Constitution which would seek to resolve all contradictions and take the country on the path of not only development but also nation-building. Imagining radiant future for India might seem quixotic during the late 1940s, but there were many such members who had the optimism of transforming India into a modern state, combining both the ancient Indian traditions with the western modernity, whereas some of them were of the convinced view that socialism was the only solution to a backward, illiterate, poor and rural India with some oases of prosperity, modernity, education and urbanism. The present work is aimed at situating the paradox created by the divergent perspectives of the members of the Constituent Assembly in the building of modern India. (jacket).

Understanding Failure of Diaspora Development Initiatives in Rural Punjab/Gurpreet Bal. The study of Indian Diaspora has become an established field of research and study during the last two and a half decades. This volume consists of contributions of the social scientists from various corners of the world and offers analysis of the Indian diaspora from various perspectives. The history of international migration of the Indians dates back to the late nineteenth century and there has been an unbroken change in their migration. From indentured labour to voluntary migration, the Indians have come a long way in establishing themselves as immigrant communities characterised by their distinct social formations, both similar and different from the native society, by continuing their identifiable Indian identity in terms of names, sometimes caste and invariably religion. Studies of Indian Diaspora included in the book take cognisance of family, society, gender, elderly and youth, religion as the journey of people belonging to different parts of India with special focus on Punjabis from their traditional milieu and their engagement with the western modernity.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Contents Preface. Introduction. 1. Mapping the Dalits. 2. Education and occupation. 3. Empowerment. 4. Emigration. 5. Entrepreneurship. 6. Paradox of changing Dalits. Conclusions. Bibliography. Index. Based on empirical investigation of rural and urban Punjab the book explores patterns of social mobility of Dalits. Four dimensions namely education empowerment emigration and entrepreneurship have been examined to map the changing character of Dalits. In comparison to other states Punjab is often considered free from acute caste based inequalities and atrocities though caste system exists and prevails in the structure of everyday life of the Punjabis. It has been argued that certain visible changes have occurred among the Dalits of Punjab. Not all the castes among the Dalits have been able to transform their social and economic conditions altered their self perception as well as their status. More mobile castes particularly the Ad dharmis have constructed their own distinct and insulated world in which the Dalit and self have become coterminous and all other Dalit castes have been decentred from the discourse of caste equality. The urban Dalits have undergone rapid change in their conditions which they transformed into political empowerment at the local level. Despite the changes there are certain aspects of their social life which have not undergone change. Much of this is related to the consciousness of the Dalits. The existence and belief in the caste hierarchy could be gauged from the fact that they still are predominantly favouring caste endogamy. 234 pp.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Contents Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Mapping the Sikh community. 3. Emergence of communal politics. 4. Reconstruction of Sikh identity. 5. Constructing nationhood. 6. Self and others. 7. Militancy and martyrdom. 8. Creating a moral community. 9. The militant and the meek. 10. Concluding remarks. Bibliography. Index. The Sikh militant movement spanned one and a half decades during which a considerable loss of life occurred in and outside Punjab. In terms of its spread it almost became international in character largely due to the presence of diaspora Sikhs in most of the western world. This work is based on the analysis of the speeches and messages of the leaders of the militant movement. It has been argued without essentializing the problematic that the nature of discourse of the militant movement could be traced back to the construction of Sikhism in the second half of the nineteenth century. The ideology of the Singh Sabha movement and its attempt at the construction of singular religious identity provided the dynamics to the Sikh community. In the process the religious tradition was invented which emphasized the singular Sikh identity by paving the way for the fundamentalist discourse of separatism. The composite religious tradition in Sikhism was put at the margin of the community as a result of which it became possible to construct Sikh nationhood. Coupled with this construction was the attempt of the militants to purge the community from all syncretism practised by the Sikhs. It has been argued that despite this construction the Sikh community has continued to observe the composite tradition though the threat of militant violence greatly reduced the eclectic space of inter subjective communitarian understanding and interaction. 278 pp.

Natural Sciences and Social Sciences and Functions of Research. 6. Nightmare of Values. 7. Taking the First Step as a Researcher. 8. Formulation of the Problem. 9. Designing the Research. 10. Fieldwork: Part I. 11. Fieldwork: Part II. 12. Fieldwork: Part III. 13. Method and Doing Social Research: Conclusion. The present work by exclusively focusing on the practice of conducting research in India is an effort to map various forms of research practices in social sciences by situating it in the general context of various epistemological issues. Without essentialising the methods of research, it primarily argues for the collection of authentic data by treating it as the cornerstone of social research. In the process, the book brings out the stifling effect of the standardised methodologies on the epistemological practices. As a corollary to it, the work identifies three forms of field work which constitute the fundamentals of the research practice; and in the process, it demolishes the myth of much hailed value neutrality-objectivity nexus in sociology in particular.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Punjabi popular music has transcended the linguistic boundaries in terms of popularity in recent times and several Punjabi singers have become household names in India and abroad. By experimenting with the emerging western styles through fusion music it has taken the music industry by storm in India. However, the cultural roots of Punjabi music have continued to be unchanged with minor refinements. The present work treats culture as a flowing river and based on the premise that the modernity, as it is conceived in the capitalist mode of production marked by mass consumption, may not necessarily transform the music by making the already existing musical tradition redundant. On the other hand, governed by the profit orientation of mass circulation, the same musical traditions are modified to cater to the needs of masses at wider scale. In the already existing paradigm established through the stories of epic romances, such as Heer-Ranjha and Mirza-Sahiban, the contemporary Punjabi music continues to reinforce the same by refining and modifying the modes of representation.
