    In such a period when new private enterprise has made a wide bay amongst rich and poor and globalization has contracted the separation yet brought about alienation among person that was never observed. He makes a conscious effort to show the marginalization of people deprived on the basis of caste and religion to raise the important issues such as belongingness, identity, ethnicity, diaspora, nation and multiculturalism. Multiculturalism might be the new idea of living in nations like Canada and Australia, however it is one of the noticeable highlights of Indian social life where individuals are utilized to live, in spite of their different languages, religions, and cultural backgrounds. It doesn't imply that Mistry presents the brighter part of Indian secularism and multiculturalism. Where one side he anticipates the empathetic disposition of ordinary citizens in the meantime he doubts the part of the RSS and Muslim communal forces during the…

    For example, the British people served as magistrates, sanitations officials, generals, judges, and other high government positions, because of the caste system. Also, Brahmins, and merchants, could easily exploit deals for them, that would make Britain rich and in return, the British Raj may lift the helper’s place in society. There was no reason to abolish the caste system, because it helped the British people gain a lot of money, it gave them power, and it make their supporters happy, because their supporters also wanted to continue the caste system. However, this continuation of the caste system is inherently evil, and was not a wise decision in the long run. This continuity of the caste system is horrific because it oppresses the Dalits and basically treats them as sub-humans. The Dalit’s mere presence and eye contact to anyone is seen as “impure”. These Dalits are so oppressed that they must tie a broom to their hips so their “impure” footsteps are cleared away. They have spittle’s hung around their necks, because a Dalits spit, according to Hindu culture, can “impurify” the whole place. The mere shadow of a Dalit can be “impure” and bad, and thus the Dalits are constantly oppressed, no one cares about…

    The Hindu Caste System

    • 867 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The Caste System determines the wealth, power and privilege of all human beings. But aside from the belief in tradition and order the Caste System brings about inequality and injustice towards many of society. Members of the higher castes enjoy all kinds of privileges, whereas the lower caste of society are deprived of all privileges, more than 160 million people in India alone are considered "Untouchable.” Oppression plays a huge role during the early ages of the Caste System. The Untouchables were made to fear all those that dominated above them, they were treated inhumanely, Untouchables live in continual fear of being publicly humiliated, paraded naked, beaten, and raped by upper-caste Hindus in reassurance to keep them in place. They were deprived all choice of social, religious, economic, cultural and political rights and privileges. This is considered inequality as the Untouchables have done nothing to deserve such punishment. Walking through an upper-caste neighbourhood is a dangerous wrongdoing. During the beginning of the 1900’s was the time in which justice…

    The Indian caste system is harsh and oppressive, yet it has not always been that way, and policies have been implemented to end this intolerance. The caste system within India is a set of classes that is used to place people into occupational groups. It is a system followed by Hindus. The story of how it began states that the original five varnas were made from a primordial being, and each varna contains many castes and sub-castes, each of which has a specific job. The cast system of India had three stages; the early caste system, changes in the caste system, and today’s caste system. The solution to this intolerance will not be simple, but will hopefully help to one day allow India to escape the binding…

    Future of Indian Diaspora

    • 2043 Words

    Though Indians lived under conditions of appalling poverty in many places of the world where they were first taken as indentured labor, a number of remarkable transformations were effected over two or three generations. Through sheer perseverance, labor, and thrift, and most significantly by a calculated withdrawal into their culture, in which they found forces of sustenance, these Indians successfully labored to give their children and grand-children better economic futures, and they in time came to capture the trade and commerce of their new homelands. This was just as true in South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda, as it was in Trinidad, Mauritius, and Burma. In Trinidad, though the minuscule population of whites continues today to control the banks and financial services, the Indians dominate in industry and entrepreneurial enterprises. If in Trinidad Indians appear to have done well for themselves within the economic domain, their affluence in such countries as the United States is even more pronounced, as is their presence within the professions. In the southern states, motels are synonymous with Patels, and one is tempted to see in the synchronization of the two words something more than mere coincidence. Taking the country as a whole, though their share of the population in the United States is less than 0.5%, Indians account for well over 5% of the scientists, engineers, and software specialists; and no group, not excepting whites, the Japanese, and Jewish people, has a higher per capita income than Indians.…

    The name ‘Untouchable’ always brings to our mind Mulk Raj Anand’s book. But Omprakash Valmiki’s Joothan is written from the personal experiences of dalit who rises to prominence from his marginalized presence. Omprakash Valmiki’s voice is today recognized as an empowered voice of a writer who works on behalf of Dalits. Himself born in a desperately poor family in North India, the lowest caste in Indian society, a community of the illiteratre Untouchables , he describes from his personal experiences the torments of the Dalits who even have no right to fight for education or food. He describes how these people are subject to an institutionalized slavery.The highest purpose of Dalit writing is not beauty of craft, but authenticity of experience. Omprakash gives us an anatomy of oppression. Most significantly, though, Valmiki's story is a voice from the half of India that has been voiceless for countless generations. Valmiki and a few others like him have breached an opening for our understanding and knowledge about a people so marginalized that they disappeared from the world's awareness, their cultures, lifestyles, folk knowledge, and aspirations represented nowhere in mainstream or scholarly sources. Joothan by by Omprakash Valmiki is one such work of Dalit literature, first published in Hindi in 1997 and translated into English by Arun Prabha Mukherjee in 2003. Arun Prabha Mukherjee, a professor of English at York University in Canada b did a great job by making the work available to a wider audience, She has illuminated the book with her thoughtful and insightful foreword. Dalits today constitute about one sixth of India's population. Spread over the entire country, speaking many languages, and belonging to many religions, they have become a major political force.…

    A new born child which doesn't know anything about society, money, creed and caste has been identified not by his/her name but the caste which he/she belongs to before British invasion in India. India had been divided into numerous castes. Those who are ruling the country are called higher caste people; those who chant mantras are purely high caste people. Those who work as cart drivers, palace workers, goods sellers, cleaners etc had been given a names and later turned as low caste people. These system brought inequality in Indian sand. When India was given back from Bruisers, in order to abolish inequality the caste -based reservation are introduced, for the delist, (SC/ST) people they gave so many privileges to occupy certain respectable standard in the society.

    Dalit and Social Media

    • 2654 Words
    • 11 Pages

    Even though the colonial power and its myriad ways of implementation have been severely criticised, it was a blessing in disguise for the Dalits in India. When the missionaries, especially the protestant missionaries, shifted their focus of their mission work and conversion to the vulnerable communities in India, doors were open for the Dalits to access education. In a sense, Dalits were able to effectively use one power (colonial) to overpower the other power (casteist dominance) to a certain extend. It is an astonishing fact that there are number of eminent writers among the Dalits even though they are in the third or fourth generation literates. While the writers from Dalit background emerged as a force in the last decade, hindrances were umpteen from the casteist Indian media. They are branded as ‘Dalit writers’ who write ‘Dalit literature’. This tokenism in the field of literature have been used as part of the ploy to suppress the emergence of the literature of the Dalits as a rebellion against the casteist social…

    Dalit Rights

    • 153 Pages

    Research and studies have recently been initiated on the under-privileged people, namely, the Dalits in India. Though it is an encouraging fact, yet more systematic and classified studies are required because the Dalits are located over a wide range of areas, languages, cultures, and religions, where as the problems and solutions vary. Since the scholars and historians have ignored the Dalits for many centuries, a general study will not expose sufficiently their actual condition. Even though the Dalit Christian problems are resembling, Catholics and Protestants are divided over the issues. Some of the Roman Catholic priests are interested and assert their solidarity with the Dalit Christian struggle for equal privilege from the Government like other Hindu Dalits. On the other hand, most Protestant denominations are indifferent towards any public or democratic means of agitation on behalf of Dalit community. They are very crafty and admonish Dalit believers only to pray and wait for God’s intervention.…

    Diaspora

    To immigrate to greener pasture, for better prospects is human nature. Nations are emerging to be multilingual, multicultural, and multiracial. The liberal immigration policies, the rapid transportations and communication have paved the way for globalization. There is an increasing tendency today to settle down in other countries for better prospect. This phenomenon is called ‘diaspora’. The status of new immigrants, the feeling of alienation and their struggles are explored by many writers. The United States of America is a fairyland, a dream country to which people from all over the world migrate. The immigrants are dispersed from centre to margin. Usually they are not accepted by the host country. They oscillate between the homeland and the host land. “Normally diaspora fiction lingers over alienation, loneliness, homelessness, protest, and…
