From the Tea Gardens to the Clinic
The tea plantations of Assam, remnants of the British Raj in postcolonial India, comprise an important epistemic site for interrogating transformations in the ancient caste system within Indian modernity. Two theoretical interventions become possible through a social inquiry that begins in the plantations of North-East India. First, refuting the alleged “castelessness” of Hindu majoritarian societies like Assam in North-East India, the article di…
Indentured clinical labor? An indigenist standpoint view of ‘forced surrogacy’ and reproductive governance in India
Our Blood Itself Is Disabled
On 28 December 2016, the Government of India passed a national disability act which for the first time recognised genetic blood disorders-thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and haemophilia-as disabilities, entitling affected individuals to affirmative action. While it was welcomed by patient communities, this policy decision also sowed seeds of collective anxieties regarding the assessment of the required degree of disability in affected individua…
Intimate Labor at Biomedical Frontlines
Media reports of the COVID-19 pandemic in India have highlighted the important role that India's female community health workers, the Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), have played in managing COVID infections in India. This paper explores the epistemic basis of ASHA work to understand the significance of their role. Through a discourse analysis of textual media articles, we show that the ASHAs' routine and COVID-related caregiving pract…
The Rise of the Creative Class
The Rise of the Creative Class: Revisited, first published in 2002, is now in its second edition. The very first aspect of the book that attracts the attention of the reader is the title itself, which alludes to the role of creativity in the economy and society. Indeed, when the book was first published, it became a bestseller and took the world of urban studies, particularly in advanced countries, by storm. Although technically a novel construct…
The Environmental Impact of Poverty
We investigate determinants of household firewood collection in rural Nepal, using 1995-96 and 2002-3 World Bank Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS) data. We incorporate village fixed effects, endogenous censoring, measurement error in living standards and heterogeneous effects of different household assets. We find no evidence in favor of the poverty-environment hypothesis. The evidence for the environmental Kuznets curve depends on the p…
Trends of Consanguineous Marriages in a Sunni Muslim Population of West Bengal, India
The Muslim population of the Chaltaberia village in the district of South 24 Parganas in West Bengal is divided into several wards (paras) inhabited by people of specific surnames. The frequency of endogamous marriages within surnames is greater than randomly expected ones. An incomplete reproductive isolation is observed among the five dominant surnames. Consanguineous marriages occur more often outside the village than inside. Leaving out marri…
