The caste system is based on structural inequalities between high and low cast untouchables involving social isolation and exclusion from participation in social, political, and economic developments of society.Dr. Susan Bayly, an expert in the field, defines caste as not the

The novel centers on the theme of social class, a key factor that separates the world of Amir from Hassan and tries to hinder their true friendship from blossoming. As what caste system suggests, those who are under the dominant and powerful party must adhere to rendering service to those in the upper class. True enough, in the novel, Hassan respects and admires upper-class Amir amid neighborhood bullies and intimidation which make them stick together through any hindrance. It is in their friendship that the concept of caste system is explicated.

Make an analysis of how the caste system might function in the life of a particular Hindu individual.

This paper attempts to examine the fictional projections of Indian girls, to see how they emerge in ideological terms. Their journeys from self-alienation to self-adjustment, their childhood struggles against the hypocrisies and monstrosities of the grown-up world, eventually demolishing the unjust male constructed citadels of power that hinder their progress- are the highlighted issues. The point of comparison between the two novels focused on here is the journey of Rahel in The God of Small Things and Sai in The Inheritance from a lonely childhood to a tragic adulthood passing through a struggle with the complex forces of patriarchal society. Both the novels portray the imaginativeness, inventiveness, independence, rebelliousness, wide-eyed wonder and innocence associated with these young girls.

The story also beautifully embellished the inequalities of North & south, by portraying a rather obscure divide, when people are thrashing against intimidating environments to make their survival. Gatha remains dominant in the novel from start to the

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and the article, “The Undergirding Factor is POWER , Toward an Understanding of Prejudice and Racism” both share a common theme: Ignorance can be a strategy to make people remain unequal in racial standards. Douglass claims in the text, “I do not remember to have ever met a slave who could tell his birthday… white children could” and continues with, “I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege.” (Douglass 1) Here Frederick is explaining how slaves were unequal and their ignorance was the key. In the text it shows that these slaves were kept unaware and were constantly dehumanized. They didn’t even know the day

Firstly, the caste system reflects the inequality of Indian society. Although religion in India is characterized by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices, majority of Indian population follow Hinduism. Therefore, the dominance of Hinduism beliefs is common in India. There is a belief in caste system, as Brood said, “a system of hierarchical social organization”1. Hindu society is divided into four main classes; the priestly class, the warrior and administrator class, the producer class who is farmers and merchants and the servant class. The remaining group of people who is “outcastes” is called “untouchables” or dalit. Brodd recognizes “dalits continue to suffer terrible oppression, especially in rural communities in India”. I still could not imagine how terrible this bottom class suffers until reading Max Bearak article. All sufferings of Rohith Vemula, from the hardships of growing up poor, interactions with society in caste to scholarship revoke and suicide, happened tragically because he was born in a dalit family. This is the

Couple executed by their own parents... for daring to fall in love. This case shows that both society and families are our own undoing. Our families have such high expectations and we fear them out of respect. Like two young sweethearts Vidhal and Sonu secret love, led to the barbaric murdered by their own kin. I say that this is heartbreaking to hear that family's that are willing to end their children's lives instead of facing humiliation. But humiliation to what cost. "The girl’s parents decided that the best way out of the situation was to kill their daughter". They were embarrassed because they were of a lower caste, so they decided the only way to rid them of that embarrassment was to kill their daughter. Society has also set up the caste system and it shows that richer or better people are at the top while less people are on the

The caste system is a form of control and conditioning seeing as everything about a person’s life is pre-determined; this is showcased through examples of hypnopaedia in the novel:

Nonetheless, considering The Breast-Giver, the Indian caste system seems to be extremely important to the characters all throughout the story. The characters frequently mention each other with the titles based on the caste system involving social position.

The immensely heart-throbbing and extremely thought provoking book, Sold, tells the story of a young girl, Lakshmi, who was sold into sexual slavery in India, unintentionally. The story takes place in Nepal where Lakshmi lives with her mother, stepfather, and little brother; times are hard and they have very little. They live in a hut with a mud roof that drips during the raining season, they only have a small portion of land to grow on which is their main source of food, and Lakshmi's stepfather does not work and spends most of their income on himself.

With much reluctance from her mother, Lakshmi and her stepfather agree that she will go work in the city as a maid and send back her earnings for the rest of her family. After leaving her small town and travelling with a lady she is told to call “Auntie”, Lakshmi starts to question “Auntie”s real endeavours with her. When “Auntie” leaves her with a strange man who takes her over the border into India and leaves her at a questionable looking house,

modernism. Anand was a socially commited novelist, through his novels he has very strongly made Indians try to understand those traditional vices which are biggest hurdles of India becoming modern. Layers of oppressions, humiliation and economic disparity burdened Indian society so much that British colonialism seemed to be lesser factor in India’s progress rather than own Indian internal colonialism. From his works he has always tried to educate Indians to forcing their consciousness to think about the social problems that disseminated because of religious beliefs. We can see the India under British raj in his novels but he emphasizes on the decayed Indian society which is more responsible for India’s deterioting societal condition. Anand
