Indų diasporos formavimasis Lietuvoje iš integracijos diskurso kritikos perspektyvos
Šiuo straipsniu siekiama užpildyti žinių spragą apie indų migrantus Lietuvoje, analizuojant besikuriančią indų diasporą. Analizės centre – indų migrantų bendruomenės dinamika ir jų saistymosi ypatumai. Straipsnyje remiamasi integracinio diskurso kritika ir prie jos prisidedama, interpretuojant indų diasporos dinamiką Lietuvoje kaip bendruomenišką dezintegraciją (Meissner, Heil 2021). Ši sąvoka vartojama apibūdinti nacionalinio ir regioninio tapat…
Imagining an Anti-Caste Utopia Through Food

Old Discipline, New Trajectories
Going under the title “Old Discipline, New Trajectories: Theories, Methods and Practices in Anthropology”, the conference seeks to provide a “home” for socio-cultural and linguistic anthropologists as well as archeologists and bio-evolutionary anthropologists who identify themselves and seek to connect with scientifically minded anthropologists. It does not neglect the humanistic aspect of anthropology and embraces it as part of the unity implici…
From the Margins
This article analyzes the positionality of the researcher in the field of area studies, taking as an example our engagement with African and Dalit studies and issues of race and caste. We present an autoethnographic essay on our own historically constituted agentive positionality by weaving together different angles of inquiry – Lithuanian area studies (and its institutional context), Lithuania’s position in the post-Soviet and postcolonial narra…
Dalit Counterpublic and Social Space on Indian Campuses
This article discusses three different university campuses in India (Jawaharlal Nehru University, Osmania University, and the English and Foreign Languages University) and their political and social environments with a particular focus on Dalit student activism from March to June, 2013, and from January to March, 2014 when this ethnographic research was conducted. It questions what place Dalit student activism, constituting the ‘counterpublic’ (F…
How Campuses Mediate a Nationwide Upsurge against India's Communalization. An Account from Jamia Millia Islamia and Shaheen Bagh in New Delhi
We return to the notion of generational communities introduced in this special issue in light of the ongoing pan-Indian protests spearheaded by students against the Indian government’s initiative to define accession to citizenship on religious lines. Applicable to individuals who entered India prior to 2014; the recent Act of Parliament permits the authorities to grant citizenship to “persecuted minorities” from three neighboring countries while …
Symbolic Boundaries and Moral Demands of Dalit Student Activism
Emerging literature on Dalit student activism explores the ways Dalit students position themselves with regard to other student groups and the broader caste structure. However, less attention has been paid to intragroup relations and dynamics within the community of Scheduled Caste (SC) students. This article explores the emerging differentiation and boundary-making among the SC students, thus contributing to the ongoing discussion on differences…
Generational Communities
The wide resonance of the aphorism, “from shadows to the stars,” closing the 2016 suicide letter of lower caste student activist Rohith Vemula suggests broken hopes for South Asian educated youth. It points at the tragic obstacles to political change and social upliftment experienced by many young people, reflecting a characteristic desire for individual and collective change. The astounding protests that ensued from Rohith’s suicide in India are…
