Commentators and social scientists in India have been understandably concerned with these clashes, as well as the peculiar nature of such communal violence in the country. Violent incidents continue to rock the nation, making this field a particularly important area of study. Sectarian Violence in India offers a cumulative account of social science research on the crucially important subject of communal violence from the late 1960s until about 2015. It brings together a critical selection of articles on sectarian violence in the post-Independence era from the Economic and Political Weekly, a journal.

Caste, class and social consciousness : reflections on contemporary Indian situation/Javeed Alam. "Caste and class as topics of research may cover almost entire gamut of sociological inquiry. The book, caste and class in India, is an outcome of a very well organized and academically fruitful exercise under the auspices of the TDSS, Pune. The papers included in the volume, covering nine states, highlight the complex dynamics of the nexus between caste and class. Caste as seen from the class point of view and class as seen from the caste point of view make it explicit that the two inhere each other historically as well as in contemporary India as inseparable aspects of India s social formation. However, the dynamics of the nexus have varied from region to region. This is how West Bengal presents a different scenario compared to Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. What is today in the form of casteism in Bihar is not found elsewhere in the country. Rajasthan, despite its feudal legacy, has witnessed remarkable socio-economic and political changes in the post-independence period, and this is much less evident in the case of Bihar or Uttar Pradesh. "A lot of anti-Brahmin movements in the southern states and Maharashtra before independence created a great deal of socio-political awakening among the masses. The movements organized by the left parties after 1947 have further added to the persisting anti-Brahmin and anti-landlord thinking among the dalits. Despite all these antithetical tendencies, caste persists, and in some cases even the upper caste leaders of the left parties have been found as the biggest landlords in Kerala and some other parts of India. Caste seems to have its decline and revival at the same time, and this is possible because caste is appropriated by a select group of people to their economic and political advantages. The volume highlights on these and several other aspects of caste-class and class-caste nexus from historical as well as contemporary perspective. It would help teachers, researchers, students and policy-makers immensely by providing a panoramic view of the interpenetrating but not mutually reducible phenomenon of caste and class in India".

The Concept of the Desired Type of Society and the Problems of Social Change/I.P. Desai. Social transformation is not an abstract utopia of social activists. It calls for analyzing social forces in historical and cultural context. There is no unilinear direction for change. It is a complex and multidimensional process. India is passing through a rapid social upheaval. The questions need to ponder over are: On which way we are going? What is the nature of social transformation? Who are the gainers and losers of development? What new socio-economic forces and value systems are emerging in the country? What role social scientists and other intellectuals play in the process of social transformation towards better social order? Social scientists of different disciplines, viz., sociology, anthropology, political science, history, etc., from India and abroad, discuss these and similar other questions in this volume. This is a felicitation volume in honour of late Professor I.P. Desai, the Founder-Director of Centre for Social Studies, Surat. Prof. Desai was an eminent sociologist who wrote several books on family, education, social movements, caste and tribe. He was concerned with building desired society . In this second edition, a new chapter by I.P. Desai, The Concept of the Desired Type of Society and the Problems of Social Change has been included. This is relevant today for social activists as well as academia concerned with sensitizing us towards the prevailing social problems and revive our concern for social change.

This is so despite a relatively better record of social movements and work by civil society organisations among them and their political inclusion. Further, the existing literature on tribals focuses more on their socio-cultural situation and less on their economic and human development. Addressing this gap in scholarship, this volume details the processes of tribal development and associated challenges in Gujarat, often viewed as a high-growth economy. Rich in interdisciplinary, empirical analyses, the book comprehensively addresses three important aspects of tribal development - human development, economic opportunities and governance. It critiques recent policy diagnoses and interventions, rather than evaluate policy-outcomes. The volume traces the genesis of continued marginalisation of tribals in the country, and contributes to the ongoing discourse on integrative tribal development. The work will interest scholars and students of development studies, tribal studies, economics, sociology, social work, as also policy-makers, activists, and governmental and non-governmental organisations in the field. -- Contents: 1.
