समाजिक न्याय की अवधारणा क्या है?
भारत में सामाजिक न्याय का संघर्ष मुख्य रूप से द्विजों और शूद्रों-अतिशूद्रों-आदिवासियों के बीच है। द्विज अल्पसंख्यक हैं जबकि शुद्र-अतिशूद्र-आदिवासी बहुसंख्यक। देश के लोकतंत्र पर राज करने वाली दोनों प्रमुख पार्टियां – कांग्रेस और भारतीय जनता पार्टी – अपने संगठन में ओबीसी प्रकोष्ठ, दलित प्रकोष्ठ, आदिवासी प्रकोष्ठ…[Read more]

This chapter examines how historical and critical modalities of reading sacred scripture became central to modern biblical studies. It examines what “criticism” was, whence it came, what it did, and which critiques it sustained, before considering its prospects for future historical and literary analysis of the Bible.

The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 has threatened ethnographic inquiry, undermining its quintessential characteristic. Participant observation, then, has been thoroughly dismembered by the radical measures implemented to prevent the spread of the virus.

Based on a discussion of the theoretical contributions of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Pierre Clastres, this article explores social relationships as more than a human dimension.
