Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About The Book: This book makes two claims about Jati (caste) and democracy in India. First, Social Scientists have only partially understood the realities embedded in the institution of Jati. Second, this partial understanding has propagated a distorted picture of the relationship between Jati and democracy. To prove these claims, the book critically examines structures and processes in the Jati and Indian democracy like Political Parties, Civil Society Organizations, Selfrepresentation, Personality Cult, and Corruption. On the above bases, the book argues that two opposite views on the relationship between Jati and democracy have emerged in the Indian academia; one, Jati as functional for society but antithetical to Indian democracy and second, Jati as dysfunctional for the exuntouchables but functional for the Indian democracy. However, the first view is more privileged than the other. While the book makes an attempt to map the reasons for this privilege, it tries to record the second with a 'perspective from below'. About The Author: Vivek Kumar is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Study of Social Systems, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University where he earned his PhD.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. KAVACH - MBBS Question & Answer Guides KAVACH is not a textbook. It is a question paper with the answers already written out.Every question in the university pattern is set out the way an examiner sets it, and under each one the answer is written to the length you are actually expected to produce on the answer sheet - two to three sides for a short note, five to six for a long question. Nothing is compressed into keywords you then have to expand under time pressure, and nothing is padded out into a chapter you have no time to read.The structure is built for the way students really revise: Questions are numbered Q1, Q2, Q3 within each chapter, with the topic printed underneath, so you can find a topic or a question number in seconds.Long questions carry 10 marks, short notes 5 marks, marked at the top right of every question, so you know what weight of answer is being asked for.Each chapter has its own colour. A Contents page reaches the chapter; a question list at the start of each chapter reaches the question by page number.Coloured bars mark the extras - pearls and exam tips in the chapter colour, danger points in red.Definitions sit in boxed callouts, so the opening line of an answer - the line that earns the first mark - is never buried in a paragraph.Tables carry the comparisons examiners ask you to draw out: this versus that, causes, features, values.Diagrams are labelled and captioned where a diagram is what the question actually wants. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
