Survey for Estimation of Stress at Work Place Among Doctors Affecting Day to Day Life
Introduction: Stress is defined as physical and psychological state that occurs when the individual is unable to cope with demands and pressure of situation. In the present Covid-19 era when doctors are overloaded, the stress to balance between his family and work life has increased. The modern medical workplace is a complex environment and doctors take it either exciting or depressing. The stress due to working conditions lead to many symptoms l…
Observational Study to Evaluate Pressor Response to Laryngoscopy and Tracheal Intubation After Pre-Operative Nebulisation of Lignocaine
Background & Aims: - Direct laryngoscopy and intubation are essential steps in general anaesthesia which elicit significant adreno sympathetic responses. Suppression of these responses is a concern in general anaesthesia. The aim of our study is to evaluate haemodynamic effects of pre-operative nebulisation with lignocaine due to pressor response. Materials and Methods :- Fifty patients within the age group of 18-65 years undergoing elective surg…
Indian older adults and the ‘familialist’ state policies
This article is based on an analytic review of two major policy responses to the increasing demographic salience of older adults in India. Set against the backdrop of anti‐natal family policies in India, the review focuses on two policy measures: the discontinuation of the earlier pension scheme alongside the commencement of the National Pension Scheme in 2004 and the enactment of The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 20…
Chaste Wives and Prostitute Sisters
This book is an anthropological study of the unusual coincidence of prostitution and patriarchy among an extremely marginalized group in north India, the Bedias, who are also a de-notified community. It is the first detailed account of the implications of a systematic practice of familial prostitution on the kinship structures and marriage practices of a community. This starkly manifests among the Bedias in the clear separation between sisters an…
Sex Work and the Political Gaze
This brief comment seeks to extend an understanding of how sex work invites what has been called ‘an unusually interested political gaze’ in the context of legislative interventions. Using examples of public pronouncements on sex workers by state functionaries as well as in judicial discourse in public interest litigation around their situation, the concern with addressing an ‘imaginary audience’ is demonstrated. It is argued that such pronouncem…

Cyber-matchmaking among Indians
This paper provides a sociological analysis of the increasing popularity of internet-based matchmaking services among the urban Indians and Non-resident Indians. The institution of arranged marriage is subject to numerous pressures, such as declining social networks, high geographical mobility and growing complexity in the choice of a marital partner, and is finding a new lease of life via such services that are increasingly replacing and penetra…
Gender Contests in the Delhi Metro
This article argues that there is a need to address how policy measures, such as, gendered segregation of space in public transport, reconfigure gender relations in such spaces. On the basis of a small survey, personal observations and blogs published online, it is suggested that new areas of gendered confusions and exclusions in the use of the Delhi Metro are sharply emerging in response to reservation of a coach for women. These confusions and …
Situating marriage payments
There are very few contextual accounts of bride-price payments among north Indian communities. Despite the paucity of ethnographic data, assumptions regarding transitions in the practice are commonplace. This article discusses marriage payments among the Bedia community within the broader context of their survival upon familial prostitution and focusses upon how they construe bride-price and dowry, both practiced under varied circumstances. I arg…
The Bedias are Rajputs
This article attempts to further the argument that caste hierarchies are subject to creative manipulation by those who inhabit the supposedly fixed slots. I provide detailed ethno graphic data on the Bedias of North India, a 'denotified' community which lives off the prostitution of its own women. The engagement in this occupation renders the Bedias very 'low' in general opinion. But the data regarding the beliefs and practices of the Bedias show…
Gendered Bodies
This essay is concerned with issues arising out of an intersection of several academic debates which have followed more or less independent trajectories in the past, but have now begun to be seen in relation with each other. I attempt a parallel examination of the debates around the sex-gender distinction, the anthropologists' discovery of multiple gender systems, and the gendered dimensions of colonialism in the Indian context. One of the common…
