Book excerpt: This book offers a new concept of inclusion of the marginalised in India — the Broad-basing Process. The author examines how through this process increasing numbers of marginalised social groups can enter into the social, political and economic mainstream and progressively derive the same advantages from society as the groups already part of it. The book critically reviews how the broad-basing process has worked in the past in India both before and after its independence. It examines how social groups like Dalits, OBCs, Muslims, women and the labour class have fared, and how far economic development, urbanisation, infrastructure development and the digital revolution have helped the marginalised and promoted broad-basing. It also offers mechanisms to speed up broad-basing in poorer economies. A first of its kind, this volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of political studies, sociology, exclusion studies, political economy and also for general readers.

The authors also present empirical studies on issues faced by minority communities in India. An important contribution, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, political sociology, gender studies, exclusion studies, South Asian studies, Affirmative action, and political science.

Download or read book Humanitarianism and Democracy (Maanava Dharmah - Prajaaprabhutvam Cheti Shatakadvayam) written by M V Nadkarni and published by Manipal Universal Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of M?navadharma- ?atakam and Praj?prabhutva-?atakam composed by Prof Nadkarni. While there have been many books on humanism and democracy in other languages, these ?atakams with original verses in Sanskrit attempt to start a new genre in Sanskrit literature. Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s exemplary ideas, the first ?atakam revolves around the topic of ‘Humanitarianism’. Humanitarianism is considered as the religion of being human, which involves the welfare of human race and of nature, and it’s not just about being philanthropic, but being kind and considerate to all human beings and living up to the ideal of being humane. M?nava-dharma accepts the moral responsibility of all human beings as well as the basic rights of all, irrespective of gender, colour, religion, race, or nationality, and hierarchy of any kind. The scope of Humanitarianism is extended beyond the mere concept of human rights and posits that being aware of one’s duties is integral to being human. Further, in this book, the notion of Democracy is presented as an institutional framework in which Humanitarianism can be best practised. Praj?prabhutva-?atakam brings out the implications of democracy and our responsibilities therein. It emphasizes the relation between freedom and our responsibility as citizens to remain attentive towards the affairs of state and institutions. Prof Nadkarni presents a series of arguments to establish how democracy reconciles equality with freedom. The two ?atakams provide a strong philosophical base for understanding politics, for citizens of democracy, especially meant for young students.

Five main themes flow through the book – India’s potential to be the World’s third largest economic power by 2030, the challenges of socio-economic equity that India faces, the several opportunities that India has in that journey, the critical role of governance, leadership, management and administration, and the importance of mindset changes to power India’s futureeconomic growth. A special focus is laid on the role of government policies and projects in socio-economic development. The book sensitises the readers, including college students in general, and students of economics in particular, to the happenings around us which have significant economic import. The book makes all through its seventy chapters several suggestions to power India’s growth as a global economic superpower, on a plank of socioeconomic equity. This book serves as an expansive thought primer and focussed execution guide for an economically independent and resurgent India.
