1 Jaiswal, Suvira
The Making of Brahmanic hegemony : studies in caste,
gender, and Vaisnava theology / Suvira Jaiswal.-- New
Delhi: Tulika Books, 2016.
x, 244p. , 25cm.
ISBN : 9789382381839.
301.0954 JAI 147226
This book is a collection of essays about the creation of
Brahmanical hegemony through the institutions of caste,
gender, and religious ideology in the history of early
India. The essays focus on the role played by religion
and mythology in the making of this hegemony. The studies
in this book argue that myths reveal the stories of
domination and resistance if we give attention to the
process of their production and not take them as factual
historical narratives. The idea is not to dismiss myths as
false, distorted, or bad history but to examine the kind
of reality they represent, to delve into the dynamics of
their formation and their impact, and account for
elements of continuity and change in them.

2 Kazi, Seema
Between democracy and nation : gender and militarisation
in Kashmir / Seema Kazi.-- New Delhi: Women Unlimited,
2009.
xxix, 222p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9788188965465.
306.2709546 KAZ 147217
This book focuses on the militarisation of a secessionist
movement involving Kashmiri militants and Indian military
forces in Jammu and Kashmir. In contrast to conventional
approaches that distinguish between inter and intra-state
military conflict, this analysis of India-s external and
domestic crises of militarisation is located within a
single analytic frame: it argues that both dimensions
have common political origins. Highlighting the
intersection between the two, the author maintains that
the heaviest and most grievous price of using the
military for domestic repression and for the defence of
Kashmir is paid by Kashmir-s citizens and society. Drawing
on women-s subjective experience of militarisation, she
examines the relationship between state military
processes at the -national- level and social
transformations at the local/societal level.

The idea of devolving power to local governments was part
of the larger political debate during the Indian national
movement. It had strong advocates like Mahatma Gandhi who
felt that the panchayats had to be the basis of
government in independent India. This book maps the
trajectory that decentralisation of government has taken
in the decades following Independence and discusses the
constitutional changes and policy decisions that make
governance more accountable to and accessible for the
common man. It presents a set of twenty-five readings
that analyse the impact of the 73rd and 74th
Constitutional Amendments, which gave autonomy to the
institutions of both rural and urban governance.
