The emergence of a large and prosperous Indian Diaspora across the globe obscures the fact that the majority of them face various hardships and violence in the journey from home to host land. The Indian Diaspora in the Gulf is unique because of its transitory nature and lack of diasporic community formation. Thus, most of them use various resources available to survive and thrive, such as imagination and faith in the case of Najeeb, the protagonist of Goat Days written by Benny Daniel. This article, therefore, seeks to explore the human experience of migration to Gulf countries by analysing the literary narrative Goat Days. The author's writing has converted the text into the universal tale of loneliness, exploitation and alienation. Najeeb is forced to live a ‘goat's life’ where he transforms ‘goats’ into an imagined community through his imagination for survival. Furthermore, Goat Days is different from the Indian Diasporic literature from West in terms of being realistic, humane and does not emphasise on identity and cultural conflict. The article attempts to understand the processes of migration, displacement, slavery, loneliness, violence, nostalgia, alienation, distress and hope among the Indian migrants in the Gulf.

Social exclusion is a useful concept as it helps in understanding the pathologies of the capitalist system. It can also be used to explain how the capitalist production system reproduces discrimination, inequality and vulnerability that affect the vast mass of toiling classes. In Indian conditions, these toiling masses predominantly belong to the SCs, STs, OBCs and Muslims. The concept can be successfully used to understand and analyse the Indian Labour Market. The secondary social position of these groups and their class position in the labour market greatly resemble. The discrimination against these groups can take multiple forms such as wage differentials, non-accessibility to preferred jobs, job insecurity, higher child work participation, compulsion to adopt menial works, etc. The labour market, therefore, can also be understood as segmented where labourers can be classified based on certain attributes such as religion, caste, tribe, gender, class, occupation, initial endowments, educational background, etc. This paper tries to explore how social exclusion affects the labour market in India. It is based on secondary data, mainly from the various rounds of NSS. It compares social groups based on caste, class, tribe, religion, etc., on various indicators of outcomes in the labour market and tries to delineate emerging patterns. It tries to answer questions such as why certain groups are paid less than others or why they have less access to preferred jobs. It also tries to explore various factors that contribute in exacerbating social exclusion.

In the craft of Kalpana Lajmi, the journey of a woman is from body to soul. Her capturing of female sexuality, its desires and assertions to bodily and emotional needs was a step ahead to contemporary cinema and times. She questioned the binary sexual norms prevalent in the society and gave voice to retaliate and reject. Her portrayal of a Woman as a protagonist is someone who is unapologetic about her desires, relations and actions. Sexuality (Woman) lense in her camera travelled inside the body of a village woman to an urban damsel and touched the core (soul). A woman’s narration to the story and script was a big risk in patriarchal socialization as the sexual dilemmas, dreams and desires of the woman’s body are excluded while defining her. This article is an attempt to analyse and present the woman as an independent (a)sexual being in different contexts. For the analysis five Hindi movies (Ek Pal, Rudaali, Darmiyaan, Daman and Chingaart) are chosen which cover the wide socio-cultural and sexual spectrum.

The article examined the impact of self-help groups (SHGs) on the empowerment of women measured in terms of capacity building and skill development (CBSD) through a self-anchored scale. This CBSD scale (reliability, α = 0.7645) was administered to a representative sample of 408 women. The data was analysed with the help of mean, group scores, quartiles, t-test and chi-square. The significance of relationship between SHGs membership status and CBSD of women was statistically tested by independent sample t-test, and genuineness of relation is re-examined by controlling for socio-economic status (SES) (control variable). The results indicated that the relationship between the SHG membership status (independent variable) and CBSD (dependent variable) was statistically significant (t = 7.45, p = 0.000) and that the control variable SES has no effect on the association between SHG membership status and CBSD of women.
本文通过一个自我锚定的量表,考察了自助团体(shg)对妇女赋权的影响,以能力建设和技能发展(CBSD)为衡量标准。该CBSD量表(信度,α = 0.7645)被用于408名女性的代表性样本。数据分析采用均值、分组得分、四分位数、t检验和卡方。通过独立样本t检验检验SHGs成员身份与女性CBSD之间关系的显著性,并通过控制社会经济地位(SES)(控制变量)重新检验关系的真实性。结果表明,SHG成员身份(自变量)与CBSD(因变量)之间的关系具有统计学意义(t = 7.45, p = 0.000),对照变量SES对女性SHG成员身份与CBSD之间的关系没有影响。
