Indian Literary History
The canons of modern Indian literature and Indian writing in English are formed of texts and perspectives that are shaped by an anticolonial nationalism that is actually Gandhian nationalism. In such writing, the glory of Indian civilization, national pride, and national independence are the principal themes. But these texts evade addressing the internal contradictions and complexities in the life of the colonized. Canonical Indian writers do not…
The political and aesthetic significance of contemporary Dalit literature
This article attempts to offer a critique of cultural critic D. R. Nagaraj’s theoretical approach to the analysis of contemporary Dalit literature. According to Nagaraj, contemporary Dalit literature is a literature of decultured Dalits which articulates rights and entitlements in liberal polity. Rejecting claims of a separate aesthetics for Dalit literature, he locates Dalit literary contributions in the broad sphere of Indian culture and argues…

Experience and Dalit Theory
Responding to Gopal Guru and Sundar Sarukkai’s book The Cracked Mirror: An Indian Debate on Experience and Theory, Satyanarayana’s essay examines the significance of bringing Dalit experience into the public debate with reference to the practice of social sciences in particular and social theory in general. The Cracked Mirror, Satyanarayana argues, offers a critique of the commonsense view of experience and the limitations of social theory in Ind…
The adolescent growth spurt of height among rural Indian boys in relation to childhood nutritional background
The Adolescent Growth Spurt (AGS) was studied in rural Hyderabad boys of 5+ years of age with known childhood nutritional background. Longitudinal data on height measurements of pre-school children available for 13 to 16 points of follow-up, during an 18 year period of study (i.e., from 1965-66 to 1983-84) were utilized for this purpose. A Preece and Baines model 1 (PB 1) function was fitted for height measurements of 323 boys aged 19-24 years in…
Adolescent growth spurt among rural Indian boys in relation to their nutritional status in early childhood
The growth pattern of 677 rural Hyderabad boys aged between 13 and 18 years was studied over a year (1977-78) to obtain annual increments. These boys had earlier been studied over a four-year period (1965-69). Height for age at 5 years in relation to Boston standards was used to classify these subjects into four nutritional categories. The group that had experienced severe growth retardation in early life achieved a peak height velocity (6.9 cm/y…
Nutrition and menarche in rural Hyderabad
Mean age at menarche was estimated in 739 rural Hyderabad girls aged 12 to 18 years using the status-quo method. These girls had been previously measured and were divided into four groups according to their height at age five. Those who were short at age five had a significantly later menarche (15.2+/-0.13) than those who were tall at age five (13.7+/-0.19). Since 14% of the short-at-five girls had had signs of severe undernutrition and none of t…
Nutritional status of people of different socio‐economic groups in a rural area with special reference to pre‐school children
The nutritional status of 1350 individuals of all ages, both sexes and three income groups living in a rural area was assessed. A dietary survey was undertaken on a sub‐sample. The people of income groups I and II were found to be taller and heavier than those of income group III. The dietary intake of income groups I and II was better both quantitatively and qualitatively than that of income group III. But the intake of animal protein was more i…
