Book Synopsis Dowry is a Serious Violence: Rethinking Dowry law in India by : Adv Dr Shalu Nigam
Download or read book Dowry is a Serious Violence: Rethinking Dowry law in India written by Adv Dr Shalu Nigam and published by Shalu Nigam . This book was released on 2023-05-13 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the prevailing practices of dowry, its mechanisms, and the dowry laws as they exist in India. It argues that the practice of dowry is evolving in the commercialized neoliberal while the law has failed to keep pace with the socio-economic changes. Dowry, as it is practiced today, involves gruesome forms of economic violence, including extortion, blackmail, and exploitation of women and their families. The current legal framework ignores this triad of oppression consisting of compulsive, arbitrary dowry demands, coercion, and dowry-related violence, and therefore, it suggests rethinking the socio-legal discourse surrounding dowry in India.

Book Synopsis Is Marriage for White People? by : Ralph Richard Banks
Download or read book Is Marriage for White People? written by Ralph Richard Banks and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguished Stanford law professor examines the steep decline in marriage rates among the African American middle class, and offers a paradoxical-nearly incendiary-solution. Black women are three times as likely as white women to never marry. That sobering statistic reflects a broader reality: African Americans are the most unmarried people in our nation, and contrary to public perception the racial gap in marriage is not confined to women or the poor. Black men, particularly the most successful and affluent, are less likely to marry than their white counterparts. College educated black women are twice as likely as their white peers never to marry. Is Marriage for White People? is the first book to illuminate the many facets of the African American marriage decline and its implications for American society. The book explains the social and economic forces that have undermined marriage for African Americans and that shape everyone's lives. It distills the best available research to trace the black marriage decline's far reaching consequences, including the disproportionate likelihood of abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, single parenthood, same sex relationships, polygamous relationships, and celibacy among black women. This book centers on the experiences not of men or of the poor but of those black women who have surged ahead, even as black men have fallen behind. Theirs is a story that has not been told. Empirical evidence documents its social significance, but its meaning emerges through stories drawn from the lives of women across the nation. Is Marriage for White People? frames the stark predicament that millions of black women now face: marry down or marry out. At the core of the inquiry is a paradox substantiated by evidence and experience alike: If more black women married white men, then more black men and women would marry each other. This book not only sits at the intersection of two large and well- established markets-race and marriage-it responds to yearnings that are widespread and deep in American society. The African American marriage decline is a secret in plain view about which people want to know more, intertwining as it does two of the most vexing issues in contemporary society. The fact that the most prominent family in our nation is now an African American couple only intensifies the interest, and the market. A book that entertains as it informs, Is Marriage for White People? will be the definitive guide to one of the most monumental social developments of the past half century.
Book Synopsis Crossing Lines by : Madhavi Devasher
Download or read book Crossing Lines written by Madhavi Devasher and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-24 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains why, how, and where ethnic political parties unexpectedly seek votes from non-coethnics and when voters support non-coethnic parties. It draws on case studies of three Indian states (Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan) and of Indian national elections to demonstrate how differences in party systems impact political party strategies and voter choices. It shows that multipolar party systems encourage political parties to provide physical security, representation, and economic benefits for minorities, especially Muslims, in India and as a result, foster cross-ethnic links between parties and voters. However, as political arenas become dominated by two or even one party, advocacy for the interests of marginalized groups declines, weakening cross-ethnic linkages. The book thus explains why representation and advocacy for Muslims in Uttar Pradesh and at the national level has alternated dramatically in the 21st century. Based on original fieldwork and supplemented by existing surveys and secondary sources from the 1990s to the present day, the book addresses critical themes such as inclusion and substantive representation in a democracy, caste and minority politics, ethnic violence, and inter-ethnic linkages between politicians and voters. Demonstrating why political parties support and protect the interests of marginalized ethnic groups in certain political conditions but not others, the volume also speaks to larger questions of the health of multiethnic democracies and democratic backsliding around the world.

Book Synopsis The Nazification Of India by : Sadaf A. & Faiza Zainab Khan
Download or read book The Nazification Of India written by Sadaf A. & Faiza Zainab Khan and published by Justice For All. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust, the result of a strategic plan by the agencies of Hitler, the German fuhrer. Thankfully the world reacted to his machinations, but only after millions of Jewish victims of his hatred, and declared that such horrors should happen, “Never Again”. But those words have not been followed through in international action, and genocides have been repeated time and again since. Each time, the genocide playbook of the Nazis was followed to some degree or the other. India is unique in that its current pogroms against minority populations, the Muslims and Christians of India, follow the Nazi playbook to a degree that cannot be considered as coincidental. India’s Nazis have embraced German Nazi methods, and are emboldened by international inaction in the cases from Rwanda and Burma. They rely on the flawed perception of India as a democracy to shield their pogroms until perhaps it will be too late. This report analyzes twelve parallels between Nazi Germany and India under the regime of Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Acting in conjunction with the largest voluntary paramilitary organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Modi provides the administrative & legal framework to implement the ideology of the RSS, called Hindutva. Deriving from the religion of Hinduism, it is however, an extremist, nationalistic and fascist offshoot that has, from its inception in the early 1900s, sought to marginalize religions originating outside of what is considered as greater India, stretching far beyond the Indian borders of today. The report discusses the supremacist ideas at the core, combined with a yearning of a glorious past, and how it has led to dehumanization, legal and economic repression, vilification, ghettoization, and the destruction of properties, all using the building of a cult figure and paramilitary training even for very young recruits. This deadly machinery is brought to bear on India’s Muslims and to a lesser extent, on India’s Christians, with devastating and demoralizing effect. We hope that the report sheds light on the dire situation for minorities, being created in India by the RSS-BJP regime. It is imperative for the international community to set aside the economic benefits seen in India, and act decisively to prevent what will certainly be mass marginalization, frequent but geographically separated mass killings and continued lynchings, beatings and economic deprivation of a population larger than the entire population of many of the world’s countries. The report ends with recommendations for the United Nations States, Canada, and civil groups to stem the rise of fascism in India and prevent yet another genocide from happening.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Time and Youth in Brand India by : Jyotsna Kapur
Download or read book The Politics of Time and Youth in Brand India written by Jyotsna Kapur and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the heightened time-consciousness that has emerged since the 1990s in popular Indian discourses – across cinema, television, print and consumer culture – and argues that these anxieties concerning time are symptomatic of the struggle between labor and capital. Drawing on critical theory, cinema and media studies and Marxist-feminist concepts, Kapur shows how the recent political-economic shift in India toward neoliberalism has been accompanied by a new emphasis on youth and a preoccupation with change, novelty and the acceleration of time, with profound consequences for conceptions of time, youth and the relations between generations.
Book Synopsis Dowry is a Serious Economic Violence: Rethinking Dowry Law in India by : Shalu Nigam

This book was released on 2024-09-27 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the prevailing practices of dowry, its mechanisms, and the dowry laws as they exist in India. It argues that the practice of dowry is evolving in the commercialized neoliberal era, while the law has failed to keep pace with the socio-economic changes. Dowry, as it is practiced today, involves gruesome economic violence, including extortion, blackmail, holding women hostage for extracting money, and exploitation of women and their families. The current legal framework ignores this triad of oppression consisting of compulsive, arbitrary dowry demands, coercion, and dowry-related violence. Therefore, this work suggests a multipronged approach to ending the culture of dowry violence with impunity. It recommends fixing the accountability of the perpetrators of violence, developing strategies to support the survivors, transforming the patriarchal culture, and rethinking the socio-legal discourse surrounding dowry violence at the national and global level.
