The study analyses selected movies and demonstrates that the caste and gendered form of sexual violence carries multiple levels, the nature of gang rape, rape as erotic entertainment, and an embodiment of caste honour with rape as an element of revenge. These elements are unique to Indian movies as they incite caste honours, and normalize sexual assaults, supporting and glorifying Indian rape culture. The study illustrates the awareness of the culture of caste and gendered honour-based dominant caste ideologies in selected movies and demonstrates how these can legitimize and encourage rape. This could lead to a better-integrated understanding of this rural rape culture. The study argues that the Indian mainstream ﬁlm industry has mainly portrayed Dalit women’s rape and suggests Savarna ﬁlmmakers’ obedience to such portrayals has consequently intensified the hype and reproduction of rape culture in Indian society. Significantly, the last decade has witnessed noticeable accumulations in sexual violence against the subaltern Dalit women aggregated.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":"37 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139260261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

U. R. Ananthamurthy is one among such writers who looks upon the caste division as a challenge against the rise of social inequality and through his works tries to critique such modern existentialist crisis based on caste and untouchability. It should be noted that being a member of the Navya Kavya movement, U. R. Ananthmurthy was under the impression of Ram Manohar Lohia and Mahatma Gandhi for their concern about the problem of caste and untouchability in the Post-independent Indian society. In a similar context, U. R. Ananthamurthy’s Samskara: A Rite for a Dead Man (1965) echoes the evil social practices based on caste and Brahminical hierarchy by presenting the existential and intellectual crisis of Pranesacharaya, the most learned Brahmin of Durvashapura village. Keeping due attention to the views of Gandhi and Lohia, the proposed article would like to explicate how far Ananthamurthy was influenced by the views of these socialists and to which level his method of presenting casteism in Samskara follows the criterion style of Munshi Premchand and Mulk Raj Anand who were also the disciple of Gandhian ideology about caste and untouchability. This article would also like to focus on how this discrimination in caste based on social superiority and inferiority has constructed an exploitative relationship between the Brahmins and other upper castes, and the untouchable; and how it functions and would finally lead to nothingness where everything would be at a terrible situation of destroying the very society itself.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":"30 47","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134953821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The preconceived method devoid of reality was not only failed but also disastrous. The theory and practice are an integral part of the theory of social change of Ambedkar. It has laid the contrast between two methods of social change that is Marxist and Pragmatist. Ambedkar’s method of social change influenced from pragmatism. It was not only the relevance of his thought but also the legitimacy of his methods used for bringing about change in Indian society. Ambedkar’s Critical method for social change upholds the idea of democracy and justice while radical violent means which emphasized on the equality without much space for democracy and freedom of speech delegitimized the purpose of communist society. The article is divided into two major parts; first part dealt with the critical theory and its primary concern for social change. It also contrasted with Ambedkar’s method of social change. Second section focused briefly on the debate between Marxist Trotsky and pragmatist John Dewey over use of means for achieving the ends. The experiment of the Cultural Change in the case of Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution in China by Mao Zedong and the methods of the Cultural Revolution proposed by Ambedkar is also part of the discussion where two experiments for bringing about cultural changes in Chinese and Indian society. The legitimacy of the democratic means remains unbeatable in the case of Ambedkar while violent radical means lost the legitimacy in Chinese experience. The struggle of Ambedkar who secured the rights for untouchable in the Indian constitution was not less than a revolution. Banning practice of Untouchability in any form and making it the punishable offence was the victory of the democratic means.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":"24 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134953977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The whole purpose of this power is to make sure that the norms of the society remain the same. In a graded society like India, where inequality is apparent because of the prevalent caste system, the idea of power is employed to keep a particular group of people, that is, Dalits, in control and subordination. Even among Dalits, Dalit women are harassed owing to their caste–gender intersection. With no power to exert or execute, Dalit women are the most vulnerable group in Indian society. Their bodies are severely scrutinized, and in a true Foucauldian fashion, they are regulated and accustomed to behaving submissively. They are being objectified by the upper-caste people and are harassed, raped, and violated in their day-to-day lives. The present paper looks at the challenges faced by Dalit women by analysing two works of Bama (2005, Sangati events) and Karukku. Delving into the concept of body, the present paper aims to highlight the objectification of Dalit women’s bodies by the men of upper caste and Dalit men and the subsequent resistance of Dalit women to this idea of objectification. The present article will explore how the Dalit women have changed their docile bodies into resistive bodies.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":"26 22","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
