Introduction: Multiple Dimensions of Marginalities
No full textMarginalities can broadly be defined as entities that represent relative peripheries, which fall into opposition with centrality or the ‘mainstream’ within a common discourse of knowledge and power. In much of India, contemporary marginalities are a product of the evolving liberal discourse since colonial times when extant liberal premises lent themselves to the Orientalist framing of religion, caste, gender, civilizational progress and geographical location as marginalities by deploying anthropology and universalistic history as intellectual anchors. Some continue to exist in the post-colonial period (despite promises of liberty and equality), while new marginalities have emerged from the interface of a developmental state with the new liberal constitutional order. Examples of new forms of marginalities include constructs around politico-social categories, majoritarianisms in their various expressions, lifestyle choices (food, dress, sexuality), regions, relationship to resources and societal location with respect to the institutional architecture of the state and law. The intellectual anchors for such formulations are provided by economics, history and political science in various guises of modernization, economic development, nationhood and politics
Political economy of conflict and peace: governmentality of participation and strategic veto in Bihar and Jharkhand, India
No full textThis chapter analyzes dynamics of conflict in Bihar and Jharkand, and explores patterns which shape governance policies, especially in terms of political economy. The author claims that all actors involved in the conflict have the power to exercise a strategic veto, however they cannot structure the outcomes. Naxals on the one side, and state actors on the other, can exercise a strategic veto on each other’s operational activities and at the same time they limit each other in terms of policies pursued. However, the state can exercise more power in this case, as it sets terms of engagement. Prakash highlights the importance of the distribution of developmental benefits and claims that they play a central role in protracting the Naxal conflict. In order to break out of this perpetuation of the conflict, local institutions have to be strengthened, especially in terms of their ability to prioritise issues that they deem important, argues Prakash.</p
Dissemination of Civil Society in South Asia: Introductory Considerations
No full textMany features in civil society in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh dates back structures developed during colonial times, and the organization of relief organizations, workers unions and political parties up to the Independence in 1947 meant that the independent governments of Pakistan and India initially had a positive attitude towards civil society organizations. These attitudes have changed due to political developments in each of the three countries, where Bangladesh became independent in 1971. On the one hand civil society organizations have changed due to the liberalization of the Keynesian state, which has changed the structure of civil society into state sponsored charities, with the added effect of suppressing many critical organizations in civil society. On the other hand, each of the countries has developed new legal frames, which have the effect of controlling these critical organizations in different ways. That regards women’s organizations as well as workers’ unions and other critical voices
Comprehensive analysis of electro thermally driven nanoscale insulator–metal transition SmNiO3-based selector for cross-point memory array
No full textTo implement a cross-point memory array successfully, it is highly required to develop nonlinear selector devices. Insulator–metal transition (IMT) devices are promising candidates for selector applications. Although IMT characteristics of SmNiO3 with a high transition temperature of 130 °C have already been reported, the film deposition conditions following high-pressure oxygen annealing at high temperatures are not practical for high-density memory applications. In this report, we propose a simple electrical method to form a localized IMT SmNiO3 region in a sputter-deposited SmNiOx film. The nanoscale IMT device formed by the electro thermal effect shows promising selector characteristics such as switching uniformity, switching endurance (>105 cycles), and high temperature stability. The feasibility of good selector characteristics is also investigated by serially connecting the selector device (SmNiO3 IMT) to a Ta/Ta2O5/Pt resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device.113sciescopu
