The everyday ethics in sterilization camps in India
This ethnographic paper examines how various professionals working within sterilization camps in India engage with everyday ethics. While sterilization in India-and its place within India's population control programme historically entrenched in overtly and covertly coercive measures-gathers significant ethical concern in the scholarly and activist circles, extensive ethnographic engagement within sterilization camps in rural Rajasthan in 2012-20…
Imaginaries of a laparoscope
Laparoscopic tubal ligation is the most prevalent method of contraception amongst India's rural and urban poor. Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in rural Rajasthan in 2012-2013, this paper investigates how rural women's perceptions of a biomedical instrument-the laparoscope-influence their perceptions of sterilization, a procedure often entrenched in coercive, target- and incentive-driven population control programme. By investigati…
Care, Violence, and More-Than-Human Reproductive Ecologies in North India
This paper explores therapeutic interventions for subfertility as a domain where meanings and boundaries of care and violence are constituted. It centres around a fragment of one Rajasthani woman's reproductive journey contextualised within marriage migration, upward social mobility, and affinal/natal kin relations. Grounded in 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Rajasthan, India, and ongoing conversations with the family, this paper investiga…
I Do Not Have to Hurt My Body Anymore
Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in rural Rajasthan, India, I examine women's narratives of chronic reproductive suffering and the practices they employed to relieve it. Cumulative effects of adverse and ordinary reproductive events and exhaustion from caregiving were often seen as reproductive suffering, while sterilization emerged as an act of care toward women's ever-weakening bodies. Sterilization has been an integral part of th…
Documents that matter
Female sterilization, or tubal ligation, is rural India's most prevalent form of contraception. The paperwork surrounding this procedure provides an interesting lens through which to investigate the state, its institutions and their material conditions. The production and circulation of this paperwork uncover the state as an illegible and unpredictable entity that materializes in people's everyday lives through bureaucratically futile certificate…
Everything in India Happens by Jugaad
Since the introduction of a scheme promoting institutional deliveries in India, dai-mas (traditional midwives) have not become obsolete, but remain integral to institutional caregiving in rural areas in ways that are not always recognized. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in rural Rajasthan, I discuss two institutional contexts in which dai-mas were encountered - traditional midwife training event and hospital births. By examining how dai-mas' aut…

The article is based on an exploratory interpretative qualitative research – a case study of Armenian community residing in Lithuania and maintaining relations with their homeland and Armenians in other countries. The research revealed the differences of ethnic identification and diasporic exper…
