Dynamics of Caste and Law by Dag-Erik Berg Pdf

Dynamics of Caste and Law breaks new ground in understanding how caste and law relate in India's democratic order. Caste has become a visible phenomenon often associated with discrimination, inequality and politics in India and globally. India's constitutional democracy has had a remarkable goal of creating equality in a context of caste. Despite constitutional promises with equal opportunities for the lower castes and outlawing of untouchability at the time of independence, recurring atrocities and inadequate implementation of law have called for rethinking and legal change. This book sheds new light on why caste oppression persists by using new theoretical perspectives as well as Bhimrao Ambedkar's concepts of the caste system. Focusing on struggles among India's Dalits, the castes formerly known as untouchables, the book draws on a rich material and explains, among other things, mechanisms of oppression and how powerful actors may gain influence in institutions of law and state.

Capturing Caste in Law by Annapurna Waughray Pdf

This book is about the legal regulation of caste discrimination. It highlights the difficulty of capturing caste in international and domestic law, and suggests solutions. Its aim is to contribute to the task of understanding how to secure effective legal protection from and prevention of discrimination on grounds of caste, and why this is important and necessary. It does this by examining the legal conceptualization and regulation of caste as a social category and as a ground of discrimination, in international law and in two national jurisdictions (India and the UK), identifying their complexities, strengths, limitations and potential. Adopting a broadly chronological approach, the book aims to present an account of the role of law in the construction of caste inequality and discrimination, and the subsequent legal efforts to dismantle it. The book will be of value to lawyers and non-lawyers, academics and students of human rights, international law, equalities and discrimination, descent-based and caste-based discrimination, minority rights, and South Asia and its diaspora. It will be a resource for legal practitioners and those in the public and non-governmental sectors involved in the implementation, interpretation and enforcement of equality law in the UK – the first European country to introduce the word "caste" into domestic equality legislation – and in countries with South Asian diasporas such as the USA.

Caste-based Discrimination in International Human Rights Law by Mr David Keane Pdf

It evaluates the strategies that have informed the work of the United Nations in this area, mapping a new path that moves from standard-setting to implementation.

Laws for Dalit Rights and Dignity by A. Ramaiah Pdf

"The concern for protecting the rights and dignity of Dalits (Scheduled Castes) has been a major challenge even after India's independence. Despite special protective laws such as the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955 and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and their implementation for several decades, the Scheduled Castes continue to be the victims of caste-based untouchability and atrocities. Though most of such incidents go often unreported, even the cases registered under these laws also end in acquittal. This scenario on the one hand raises doubts on the will and commitment of the state, particularly its law-enforcing machinery, on the other hand, it necessitates the need for understanding the various factors that lead to the acquittal of most of these cases. The present volume is a pioneering work exploring the uses and abuses of such special protective laws. On the basis of the experiences of and views expressed by the victims, accused, police, NGOs, judiciary and people in general involved in over 15 acquitted cases chosen for the present study, it brings to light the various factors responsible for most of the untouchability and atrocity cases ending in acquittal. Thus, moving away from the existing practice of depending on the data collected by the government agencies, the book relies primarily on the empirical and qualitative data collected from multiple stakeholders. It also offers suggestions not only for effective implementation of these laws but also for protecting the interests of Dalits on a permanent basis."
