"In the late 1990s, a group representing Dalits in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu called the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi-or Liberation Panthers Party-shook the established social and political structures. For over a decade they boycotted elections, questioning the legitimacy of institutions that failed to implement constitutional provisions and allowed casteism to persist. The Panthers conducted mass awareness campaigns for Dalit liberation, instilling a sense of empowerment in a hitherto marginalized population. Eventually, labelled as extremists and alienated by the State, the Panthers were pushed into electoral politics. How the Panthers mobilized themselves and managed to effect changes in Tamil Nadus politics is the main premise of this ethnographic account. Looking into the processes of transition therein, the author discusses how caste considerations inform and underpin politics in the state and whether the Panthers will erode or adapt to hegemonic caste power. With its micro-empirical focus on identity politics in Tamil Nadu, the book also explores diverse dimensions of mobilization and ways in which contentious politics alters political regimes."

"Though the South Indian slate of Andhra Pradesh isexperiencing transition to replacement level, notable fertilitydifferentials persist between the caste groups. Fertility has beenmuch higher among scheduled caste and scheduled tribes comparedto other caste groups. This paper examines the fertility differentialsamong caste groups in the context of characteristics and interactionhypotheses, using the second Indian National Family Health Surveydata. The results of multiple classification analysis on cumulativefertility and proportional hazard analysis on birth intervals show thatdifferentials between caste groups persist even after controlling forthe other socioeconomic and demographic variables. Further, theanalysis of interaction effects show that the caste effect is notconstant across the levels of other socioeconomic factors. In ruralareas and at the lower levels of education and standard of living,fertility is relatively high and scheduled castes and tribes havehigher fertility than ?other? caste. But this situation is reversedcompletely in urban areas and at the higher levels of socioeconomicstatus, where the level of fertility is not only low hut also scheduledcastes and tribes have lower fertility than ?other? castes. Thisindicates with the improvement of socioeconomic status, not onlywill fertility decline, but also the difference in fertility between castegroups will disappear."
