Abstract:

Problem of untouchabilty is still prevalent in the society and Mulk Raj Anand through his novel Untouchable brings to light the sorrows and sufferings that high caste Hindus inflicted on the untouchables. Mulk Raj Anand's Untouchable, is more compact than his other novels. The novel Untouchable, published in 1935, centres around a sweeper boy, Bakha. The eighteen year boy Bakha, son of Lakha, the jamadar of sweepers is a child of the twentieth century, and the impact of new influences reverberates within him.

Abstract:

Untouchability is an evil social menace, where certain group of people are discriminated or alienated based on their caste, class or job from the mainstream sections of the society. Untouchables are the most oppressed and marginalized people, who often lack right and voice in the public domain. Manual scavenging is considered or treated as a job attributed to the untouchables of lowest strata of the society. These people are not given any dignity due to their job of carrying human waste using their bare hands. Mulk Raj Anand presents the sufferings and hardships of an untouchable boy named Bakha as a manual scavenger faced in the casteist society through his well known novel Untouchable.

Abstract:

In India the complex social structure demands that it be divided into heterogeneous classes. This division produces class discrimination as well as caste discrimination. The latter has been institutionalized in the name of religion; and the upper castes, using religious dogma, assume hegemonial power to exploit the lower castes to suppress them economically, socially, and politically. Mulk Raj Anand has shown the pathetic condition of the outcaste/ untouchable in colonial India where the whole of India is subjugated to their colonizers, and because of the division and subdivision, the lower castes are subjugated at the hands of the upper caste Hindus. The condition of the untouchables cannot be recognized by generalizing them as subalterns; rather they demand a critical study beyond the accepted notion regarding the synonymous use of “people” and “subaltern.” This paper argues the possibility of reviewing the untouchables in a double subalternized position in the context of Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable.

Abstract:

This present paper focuses on the caste discrimination that is projected in the novel, Untouchable. Mulk Raj Anand narrated the lives of the impoverished and oppressed in traditional Indian society. The novel, Untouchable illuminates the atrocities that still exist in India. The narrative illustrates the tense and troubled interactions between upper-caste Hindus, Muslims, Christians and untouchables oppressed in colonial India. Bakha is a metaphor for the oppression and exploitation that have been untouchables like him. Bakha is an extremely skilled worker and passers-by frequently admired his prowess and briefly wondered whether he belonged to cleaning public restrooms. The main character, Bakha, is a life-size character who effectively conveys the agony of an oppressed, disadvantaged, and fated human being for no other reason than being an outcast. Mulk Raj Anand has painted a true and accurate picture of traditional Brahminical India, when the low caste population's plight was truly deplorable and pitiful.

Abstract:

The caste system roots in the heart of Hinduism and falls apart Hindus into touchable and untouchable. The sweepers are regarded as untouchables and are given no choice and access to their social life. The caste system in Hinduism and, therefore, in the Hindu-majored nation in India is a strong social discriminatory hierarchy that has been exercised for more than two millenniums. Mulk Raj Anand, with a firm belief in the dignity and equality of all human beings, attempts to project a panoramic scene of the caste system by beckoning a single day from the diary of Bakha, an untouchable boy who is a sweeper in profession. The present paper attempts to address the curse and discrimination triggered by the caste system, which is prevalent in Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable. Though the scenes of the novel belong to a small, interior town in Punjab, the happenings are pan-Indian in nature. This paper also argues how the caste system paves the way for inter-caste conflict and exploitation and, apart from several caste discrimination, why changing the upper caste’ outlook is the sole way out to wipe out the stigma of the caste system.

Abstract:

Death is the most potent of all the sources of impurity and inauspiciousness in the life of a Hindu. This paper explores the different discourses on the nature of untouchability in Gujarat in order to delineate the relationship between the collective, permanent pollution of the lowest castes in the caste hierarchy, the so-called ‘Untouchables’, and their occupational specialization involving the disposal of dead animals and human corpses. It also analyses the inter-caste exchange of food and services at two levels: that between each of the untouchable castes and the other castes of a village, and that among the different untouchable castes themselves. The intra-caste sphere of temporary death pollution (sutak) incurred by individuals affected by the death of kin or affines is not dealt with here.

Abstract:

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, an untouchable from the caste of mahars, was educated abroad with the support of the maharaja of Baroda. The goal of his studies at the Columbia University in New York was to learn about the struggle of the Black Americans. African Americans and their leaders influenced his ideology and policy regarding Indian untouchables, as the struggle of the dalits and the Blacks and their social situation are somewhat similar. Ambedkar’s works reflect the learnings from his American experience. In countrast with the multiple castes and subcastes of the untouchables, the Blacks are an endogamous group, and it is easier for them to unite in their struggle. As the Chairman of the Constitutional Committee, Ambedkar included in the Constitution a number of articles to protect the rights of the scheduled castes. He turned to Buddhism as a result of his quest to reform the caste system in order to end social discrimination of the Dalits. Ambedkar showed that each caste maintained its identity and that is why it was impossible to unite all untouchable castes. However, his accomplishments in the struggle for equal rights for all people allow hope that this historic goal will be achieved.

Abstract:

In 1950 the constitution of independent India rendered the practice of untouchability a criminal offence. Special programmes of affirmative action were also instituted on behalf of the Untouchables, now known as Scheduled Castes, to offset centuries of deprivation. Theoretically the introduction of the universal franchise created a nation of equal citizens, and the reservation of parliamentary seats for the SCs guaranteed that they would be represented. The de jure abolition of untouchability has not, however, resulted in its de facto eradication (Desai 1978: 111). Structural and social inequalities have conspired to ensure the continuing subordination of the majority of the Scheduled Castes. Disillusionment with the inadequacies of the institutions of interest mediation has, since the 1970s, been channelled into extra-institutional mobilisation and protest for change. Drawing upon the example of civil rights activists in the United States, many of the SCs have rejected the appellations by which they are commonly known and have called themselves Dalits. Dalit is a Marathi word meaning ‘downtrodden’ and it has been adopted to symbolise the rejection of the caste system and the values that sustain it. Most authors have focused on the experience of Dalit movements in the north of India. This thesis charts the rise, and attempts an analysis of the Liberation Panther (LPs) movement in the southern state of Tamilnadu. The particular history of political development in the state, a form of Dravidian nationalism, resulted in the polity that was ideologically committed to the eradication of caste. Only in recent decades have autonomous Dalit organisations have been able to challenge the Dravidian hegemony. Using the insights of social movement theory this thesis charts the conditions of Dalit mobilisation in Tamil Nadu, its modes of protest and organisation and its impact in the state. Whilst much has been written about participatory ‘new social movements’, this thesis highlights the problematic of leadership and the dilemmas of caste-based mobilisation. Social movements, it is argued, are shaped by the culture from which they emerge - both in terms of their social and spatial practices. Most Dalits are poor, and continue to reside in segregated housing areas, but this thesis argues that they are increasingly assertive in their demand for equal rights and social respect. Of particular significance is the entry of the LPs into electoral politics in 1999. Dalit movements and parties may be flawed, but in challenging the status quo and opening up the political process to hitherto excluded groups of people, they are contributing toward the democratisation of Indian democracy.

Abstract:

This thesis examines how the experience of touch is depicted in modern/contemporary Japanese literature and culture. Employing touch-related 20th century French thought (Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Nancy) and psychoanalytic theory (Klein, Anzieu, Kimura), it discusses how the representations of touch illuminate various aspects of human existence, specifically: the mediated nature of touch, the process of the bodily encounters, the formation of subject identity, sexual differences, and the way memories of touch depicted in literature affect our sense of temporality. Touch is a particularly interesting way of approaching Japanese literature because touching between people (apart from mother and child, called skinship) has been considerably repressed at least until after WW2, due to the relative absence of public practices of touch, authors’ aesthetic choices and censorship. Opposing this tendency, female authors born postwar write freely about touch. In comparison to Judeo-Christian cultures, Japanese culture has historically not been open to tactile communication, nor is explicit articulation of internal experience, as in psychoanalysis, particularly prominent. Japanese literary characters are thus especially self-conscious about touch. Following a theoretical and historical overview regarding touch and contact in the Introduction, Chapter 1 discusses different ways of mediating touch in the works of Yoshiyuki Junnosuke, Tanizaki Jun’ichirō, and Abe Kōbō. Chapter 2 argues how high levels of mediation affect the manners of engaging in direct encounters with others in Yoshiyuki, Kawabata Yasunari, and Matsuura Rieko. Chapter 3 discusses the temporality of tactile memories in Yoshiyuki, Kawabata, and Ogawa Yoko. Reflecting on such a complicated portrayal of touch in Japanese culture will help fill a gap in the existing scholarship regarding touch in literature. By critically examining the relationship between theories and literature in the East and West, this thesis also significantly contributes to the field of comparative literature and cultural studies as an example of cross-cultural research on touch.

Abstract:

Historically, oppression has been and continues to be a serious issue of concern worldwide in both developed and underdeveloped countries. The structure of Indian society, with its hierarchies and power structures, is an ideal place to better understand the experience of oppression. Women throughout the long established Indian hierarchy, and members of the lower castes and classes, have traditionally born the force of oppression generated by the Indian social structure. The focus of this research explored the way the way class, caste, and gender hierarchies coalesce to influence the life choices and experiences of an Indian woman born into the lowest level of the caste and class structure. This research specifically addressed the female Dalit cobbler (leatherworker), who exists among a caste and class of people who have been severely oppressed throughout Indian history. One female Dalit cobbler from a rural village was studied. Her life represents three levels of oppression: females (gender), Dalits (caste), and cobblers (class). This study was based on three interconnected research questions that attempted to uncover the way class, caste, and gender hierarchies influence the lives of Dalit female cobblers: what the Dalit female cobbler has experienced in terms of economic, personal, and social struggle; how the Dalit female cobbler manages to get through her day-to-day struggles; and where the Dalit female cobbler sees herself in the future. Participant observation and triangulation were major components in the design of this study, as it was important to view the local daily life of this individual. Detailed field notes were collected and recorded, interviews based on open-ended questions were conducted, and site documents were gathered. The findings that have become evident throughout this observation have increasingly exposed one continuous theme in particular: the "lived' experience and position that one must accept his or her station in life without question. This dissertation, however, has shown how acceptance does not mean that one stops trying to thrive. On the contrary, the life of this particular female Dalit cobbler exemplifies the ingenuity and perseverance of people who are not members of the dominant social structure. It demonstrates how one individual had the ability to negotiate multiple levels of oppression and succeed in sustaining herself, her family, and her community.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis analyses the language of touch in the poetry of Michael Symmons Roberts. A single-author study, it uses key tropes in Roberts’s poetry (shell/spark, ghost/machine, body/soul) as points of engagement with the wider concerns of contemporary poetry discourse. The mechanics of contact are explored through the investigation of the limit of the conceit and the trope of the ‘edgelands’. The thesis concludes with four case studies in which touchable touches on untouchable in Roberts’s work (‘voice-print’, care, contamination, ‘metaxu’). The tactile textual analysis of Roberts’s poetry is read in relation to the writings on touch of Jean-Luc Nancy and Jacques Derrida in order to explore the various aspects in which touch is meaningful as a critical and poetical concept. Specifically, this thesis draws on their writings to demonstrate the insistence on separation as a condition of contact in Roberts’s poetry, an emphasis which allows Roberts to create alternatives to traditional, Cartesian binaries of the touchable and untouchable. Furthermore, the language of touch draws attention to the shared concerns in Roberts’s poetry and different poetic traditions, in particular Metaphysical poetry and Modernism. A central concern of this thesis is the extent to which Roberts’s poetry represents a metaphysical poetry of the twenty-first century. This thesis contributes to the existing discourse on Roberts’s writing, by extending and critiquing the engagement with his work to date. This thesis ultimately suggests that Roberts is a model poet of the contemporary period for the way his poetry negotiates contemporary events and social developments, and for the way his underlying poetics resonate with contemporary thinking in other disciplines such as theology and philosophy.

Abstract:

As a moment of slipping in, turning away and recovering from; the thinking for this project is focused on understanding through and from within culture. With this the paper begins to weave itself through a guided journey of my own personal accounts and the theorists that align and/or challenge such accounts. It moves between investigating my relationship with my father, to interrogating the ways in which men have spoken specific violence's into existence. This thesis does not look to be the reason of, nor the answer to, the way in which men ‘act'; but it does employ a keen eye into understanding the way in which meanings are produced. The paper then embeds itself in interrogating each of these instances through four different performances that were created by Mlondi Dubazane. These performances should be understood as thinking through and with/in representation and the different mediums that representing takes shape. It is vital to understand that even in its attempt at the poetics, the paper expresses itself through, within, around and beside language. This is but the first attempt of finding a language in speaking about my own maleness, a maleness that is not universal, a maleness that is moving forward in advance of nowhere, a maleness that seeks to dare touch on the untouchable. This, then serves as a written explication of research that seeks to engage the meanings and limitations of contemporary Black south african cultural identity (and in particular, the gendered dimensions of this experience) through the careful and nuanced crafting of public performances that draw on both public and intimate experiences.

Abstract:

This thesis undertakes a close study of a single manuscript of the early 1320s, written at the priory of Fineshade, Northamptonshire. The manuscript contains a short chronicle and several documents related to the failed baronial rebellion of 1321-22. I argue that, in collaboration with the priory’s patrons, the Engayne family, the chronicler responds to the current situation with an attempt to create meaning from a time of crisis. In the process, he attempts to shape his material through patterns of style and thought inherited from both chronicle and hagiographical traditions, to make the present conform to the known and understood shape of the past. His success is limited by his inability to establish sufficient distance from traumatic events, a difficulty that many chroniclers seemed to encounter when they attempted to turn current events into meaningful historical narrative.

Abstract:

Cette thèse analyse la trajectoire religieuse des Samis du Sindh, un groupe de péripatéticiens doués pour la divination. Considérés comme une caste de bas niveau social dans la République islamique du Pakistan, les Samis vénèrent différentes traditions de l'hindouisme et de l'islam. Dans cette étude, je souligne la façon dont les Samis façonnent ce cadre religieux et l'importance de leur appartenance à ce cadre pour leur vie quotidienne et leur communauté. Les Samis sont considérés comme des personnes de basse caste (ghat zat), impures (palit) et intouchables (achut). Ce sont des mendiants itinérants qui pratiquent la divination à l'aide de dés et soignent les afflictions dues au mauvais œil. Ils parcourent de longues distances pour se rendre en Iran, où ils exercent les mêmes activités pour gagner leur vie. Dans le Sindh, ils sont confondus avec un autre groupe de caste inférieure, les mendiants Jogi cerharmeurs de serpents, car ils partagent les mêmes activités et probablement une histoire commune avec les ascètes gorakhnathis. Selon l'espace et le temps, les Samis vénèrent différentes déesses, suivent un saint soufi antinomique, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (1247-1274), considèrent certains soufis vivants (pirs) comme leur maître religieux (murshid) et vénèrent les imams chiites, comme ils le disent : « Asan imaman khy manjeenda aahyon ». Cependant, les Samis se considèrent comme faisant partie d'une seule et même communauté hindoue. Ils se réunissent pour Navratri (festival de neuf jours dédiés à la déesse) chez le chef. Pendant cette période, ils construisent des temples en argile et vénèrent de petites statues de déesses dédiées à des sous-castes spécifiques. Différents prêtres de chaque déesse, appelés bhopas, font des saccades pour que leur corps soit possédé par la déesse. Finalement, lorsque la déesse entre dans le corps du bhopa, toutes les femmes, tous les enfants et tous les hommes demandent à la déesse d'exaucer leurs souhaits. Compte tenu de ce qui précède, la thèse pose la question suivante : étant donné que Navratri ne dure que neuf jours, les Samis cherchent-ils à exaucer leurs souhaits auprès des imams chiites ? De plus, les Samis disent que les déesses leur donnent le pouvoir de prédire l'avenir. Par conséquent, recherchent-ils les mêmes pouvoirs auprès des imams chiites lorsqu'ils visitent leurs sanctuaires en Iran ?Comparé à d'autres groupes, tels que les éleveurs, les populations non-pastorales ou les sédentaires, qui ont attiré l'attention de nombreux chercheurs dans la partie nord-ouest du sous- continent indien, y compris des anthropologues et des sociologues, le peuple sami a rarement fait l'objet d'études académiques. L’objectif de cette recherche est de produire une première analyse de leurs croyances religieuses, leurs activités professionnelles et leurs techniques de peuplement qui restent largement méconnues
This dissertation analyses the religious trajectory of the Samis of Sindh, a group of peripatetic people skilled in divination. Considered a caste of low social standing in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Samis worship different traditions of Hinduism and Islam. In this study, I highlight how the Samis shape this religious setting and how belonging to it is essential to them for their everyday lives and community. Samis are referred to as lower-caste (ghat zat), impure (palit), and untouchable (achut) people. They are itinerant beggars who practice fortune-telling with dice and cure evil eye afflictions. They travel long distances to Iran, where they pursue the same activities for a living. In Sindh, they are confused with another lower caste group of the snake charmer Jogi beggars, for they share the same activities and probably for their shared history of the Gorakhnath ascetics. Depending on their space and time, Samis worship different goddesses, follow an antinomian Sufi saint, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (177-1274), consider some alive Sufis (pirs) as their religious master (murshid), and revere Shia Imams as they would say: ‘Asan imaman khy manjeenda aahyon’. However,Samis consider themselves as part of a single Hindu community. They gather for Navratri (nine days festival of the goddess) at the chief’s place. During this time, they build clay temples and worship small statues of goddesses dedicated to specific sub-castes among them. Different priests of each goddess, called bhopas, jerk their bodies to be possessed by the goddess. Eventually, when the goddess enters the body of bhopa, all the women, children, and men ask the goddess to fulfill their wishes. Considering this, the dissertation asks that since it lasts only for a short period of nine days, do Samis look for the fulfilment of their wishes in Shia Imams? Also, Samis say goddesses provide them the power to practice fortune-telling; thus, do they look for the same powers from Shia Imams when they visit their shrines in Iran? Compared with other groups, such as pastoralists, non-pastoralists, or sedentary people who have attracted the attention of numerous scholars in this north-western area of South Asia, including anthropologists and sociologists, the Sami people have rarely been the subject of academic studies. Thus, their religious belief, professional activities, and settlement techniques remain largely unknown. I set out to analyse them in this dissertation

Abstract:

The gas turbine engine design is fundamentally, taking the air flow into the compressing stage then combustion stage to add energy, and finally extracting energy in the turbine module. This journey of the flow in the engine is in serial connections. Posing the problem of the limiting turbine inlet temperature, the number that all the turbomachinery engineers desperately want to increase by tuning the inlet stages materials, or fine changes onto the blades’ profile or the flow paths. But the significant increase to this temperature lies under more fundamental and radical redesigns to the theory of the gas turbine operation, and its thermodynamical cycle. These principles were considered for long untouchable facts, and stayed lurking from the engineers examining eyes. This paper introduces one of these possibilities by genuine redesign concepts. Backed with CFD analysis, and Thermodynamical feasibility studies to address the potential problems of these modifications. The redesigns include implementing the new concept of the contra-rotating turbine more effectively to reduce the turbine module size, connecting pressurized fluid streams of two counter-rotating compressors in parallel instead of the serial connection, forming a protecting Pressurized shield for the entry turbine stages and, Extracting the energy in the process flow using flows interactions instead of flow-blades interactions.

Abstract:

Abstract Early in oil field development, it is possible to discover high-potential wells that allow "thinking outside the box." However, in adverse scenarios (presence of H2S and appearance of asphaltenes), the limits appear to be very conservative. Two of these untouchable limits are the erosive and corrosive limits of fluid velocity. In particular, the use of API 14E RP based models is very conservative because it must be used safely in a wide range of applications in producing and injection wells around the world. Even commercial Nodal Analysis ® suites for their default erosion calculations take the dimensionless C factor = 100 as a reference. The objective of this work is to show a case study in which it is determined the feasibility and theoretical limits of increase production mean model the detrimental effect of erosion and corrosion to take advantage the potential of oil-producing wells with a high productivity index (higher than 8 bpd/psi) to safely optimize your production (greater than 5,000 bpd) with low risk of erosion or corrosion over a 5-year horizon under specific conditions. Alternative models were based on conservative values of 15 ft/s as the upper erosive limit (Zheng et al. at 2000) and 5 mpy (NACE SP0775) as the upper corrosive limit. Iterations of factor C were carried out up to 125 that allowed increasing the production rate of high potential wells above 5000 bpd. This study allowed to determine a list of candidate wells for a second analysis. This second study was more detailed and was based on an extended model (erosion/corrosion) developed by the University of Tulsa and confirmed that these wells could produce more than 5000 bpd over a period of up to 10 years with very low risk of failure due to erosion or corrosion failures. From 40 wells of the field evaluated, it was found that of the 12 wells with high potential, 9 wells were found to be viable to produce up to 6000 bpd during the first stage (C factor up to 125). In the second stage of the process the study concluded that it was feasible to increase the production of the 9 wells even up to 7000 bpd without causing significant risks of erosion or corrosion if the water cut was kept below 10%. Field short test was carried out in three (3) wells with satisfactory results. The application, for limited periods of time, of alternative models that allow the optimization of production of wells with high potential during the early development of large oil fields is possible. If the water cut, and solids production values remain low (water cut less than 10% and solids production less than 0.1 kg/1000 bpd and particle size between 20-50 microns).

Abstract:

It is widely understood that the ultimate goal of eliminating material deprivation through broadly shared economic development is giving people the means to lead lives they have reason to value, as formulated in Amartya Sen’s capability approach. However, in ndia, it is critical to keep in mind when evaluating progress in poverty reduction that, for historically disadvantaged groups, economic disadvantage is compounded by the persistence of various forms of derogatory treatment based on their caste identity. It is undeniable that hierarchical elements rooted in the ritual origins of caste continue to be a part of caste’s influence over contemporary India. The most blatant expression of such hierarchical elements is the persistence of extreme forms of derogatory treatment and social exclusion imposed on those in the lowest rank of the ‘traditional’ Hindu social order, Dalits (referred to as Scheduled Castes in administrative data sources, and formerly called ‘Untouchables’). How often do material deprivation and social disabilities come together for those at the bottom of India´s caste hierarchy? This paper aims to investigate the links between the living standards of Dalits and the prevalence of symbolic discrimination against them in India.

Abstract:

Until recently the study of sexual behavior, despite being a very important area of human behavior, has remained an untouchable subject. The sensitivity of the subject and difficulties collecting required information discouraged social scientists from venturing into this area of human behavior. However, the advent of AIDS and its rapid spread in India has changed the scenario. Today the study of sexual behavior is an important subject and both national and international agencies, as part of the AIDS control program, are encouraging research on the subject. This paper addresses a totally neglected area, which is sexual coercion within marriage. The paper is based on a detailed qualitative study carried out by the Centre for Operations Research and Training on the decision-making process involved in seeking abortion. The study was carried out in two villages of Lucknow district located in central Uttar Pradesh. Data were collected by two trained social scientists, who spent five months in the field using various qualitative approaches—in-depth case studies, focus-group discussions with community members, and informal interviews with health and abortion service providers.
