Taking a cue from the story of Trishanku-the mythological king who aspired to reach heaven while still alive-Deepak Kumar builds a compelling narrative on the state of contemporary India. Much like Trishanku, who only succeeded in being stuck in limbo between heaven and earth, India appears to be oscillating at the crossroads of modernity and tradition; development and corruption; and diversity and communalism. The Trishanku Nation presents a provocative account of a country marked by its contradictions and seamlessly combines everyday social history with academic insights. All through its civilizational progress India has defied simple categorizations. This suppleness has been its greatest strength and, to a large extent, also responsible for its myriad problems. This volume dwells on this predicament of post-Independence India. Based on memory, both historical and personal, it begins with the depiction of life in a mofussil town and moves on to examine closely issues of caste, religion, communalism, governance, corruption, education, science, culture, and so forth, as seen in the last five decades. Presented with rare verve and wit, and by using the lens of personal experiences, these rumblings help unfurl layers of life in the Indian subcontinent.

Skripsi ini membahas mengenai penerapan kebijakan asimilasi terhadap anakanak Aborigin half-caste di Australia. Pembahasan dimulai dari tahun 1937 dimana seluruh perwakilan dari negara bagian dan Northern Territory Australia berpartisipasi di dalam Konferensi Nasional Pertama Australia tentang masalah Aborigin yang diadakan di Canberra. Konferensi tersebut dianggap sebagai tolak ukur yang berkaitan dengan penerapan kebijakan asimilasi terhadap orang-orang Aborigin, khususnya keturunan half-caste. Sayangnya pengenalan kebijakan asimilasi tersebut tertunda dengan adanya Perang Dunia ke-II. Pada tahun 1951, seluruh negara bagian dan Northern Territory Australia akhirnya mengadopsi kebijakan asimilasi. Kebijakan asimilasi menganggap bahwa _kebudayaan dan cara hidup kulit putih superior dan kebudayaan dan cara hidup orang-orang Aborigin tidak memiliki nilai_. Penerapan kebijakan asimilasi tampaknya menjadi kontroversial karena kebijakan tersebut tetap melanjutkan praktik-praktik dari kebijakan proteksi sebelumnya yang memindahkan anak-anak Aborigin half-caste dari keluarganya ke lembaga-lembaga Aborigin. Tahun 1967 secara hukum menyaksikan akhir dari kebijakan asimilasi. Sejak tahun tersebut kebijakan integrasi terhadap orang-orang Aborigin , termasuk anak-anak Aborigin half-caste diimplementasikan. Hal ini menandakan bahwa orang-orang Aborigin dimasukkan ke dalam masyarakat Australia yang lebih besar dibawah sistem pemerintahan Australia

Abstract
This undergraduate thesis discusses the application of assimilation policy towards Aboriginal half-caste children in Australia. The discussion begins from 1937, where all of the States_ representatives as well as the representative of the Northern Territory participated in the Australian National First Conference on the Aboriginal issues held in Canberra. The Conference has been considered as a milestone regarding the application of assimilation policy towards Aboriginal people, especially half-caste descents. However, the introduction of assimilation policy was delayed because the World War II. By 1951 all of the Australian States and the Northern Territory adopted the assimilation policy. The assimilation policy assumed _the white culture and lifestyle is superior and Aboriginal culture and lifestyle is without value_. The application of assimilation policy seemed to have been controversial since the policy continued the practices of the previous protection policy that removing Aboriginal half-caste children from their families to the Aboriginal institutions. The year 1967 legally witnessed the end of assimilation policy in Australia. Since that year the integration policy towards the Aboriginal people, including the half-caste children has been implemented. This, means the Aboriginal people has been included into the larger Australia society under the Australian governmental system

In the late 1990s, a group representing Dalits in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu called the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi-or Liberation Panthers Party-shook the established social and political structures. For over a decade they boycotted elections, questioning the legitimacy of institutions that failed to implement constitutional provisions and allowed casteism to persist. The Panthers conducted mass awareness campaigns for Dalit liberation, instilling a sense of empowerment in a hitherto marginalized population. Eventually, labelled as extremists and alienated by the State, the Panthers were pushed into electoral politics. How the Panthers mobilized themselves and managed to effect changes in Tamil Nadus politics is the main premise of this ethnographic account. Looking into the processes of transition therein, the author discusses how caste considerations inform and underpin politics in the state and whether the Panthers will erode or adapt to hegemonic caste power. With its micro-empirical focus on identity politics in Tamil Nadu, the book also explores diverse dimensions of mobilization and ways in which contentious politics alters political regimes.

This paper investigates caste /ethnicity based inequity in women's health service utilization, particularly focusing on antenatal care (ANC) in the socioculturally complex patriarchal context of Nepal. Numerous studies worldwide have examined the effects of various factors contributing to antenatal care. However, much less is known about the influence of caste/ ethnicity on women's health-care utilization in Nepal. Using the nationally representative Nepal Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) Data 2011, a multilevel logistic regression was run with results suggesting that both non-economic (caste/ethnicity) and economic (household wealth) factors influence women's health-care utilization. First, women who belong to a disadvantaged caste/ethnicity such as the Hill Janajafi, Hill and Terai Dalit and Muslims are significantly less likely to make four plus antenatal care visits compared to the advantaged Bahun/Chhetri mothers. Second, mothers who belong to the wealthier category are significantly advantaged in terms of using antenatal care services compared to the poorest category of mothers. Third, contrary to the common assumption, mothers from the advantaged caste/ethnicity (Bahun/Chhetri and Newar) do not always fare better in all aspects of life; when from the poorest households, they are not significantly different in terms of antenatal care compared the poorest mothers who are from a disadvantaged caste/ethnicity. Tliese findings offer evidence against the misassumption that individuals of advantaged caste/ ethnicities are always privileged, suggesting that health policies should take into account the intertwining effects of both caste/ethnicity and economic status in order to improve women's health and well-being.
