  Lecture 26: Emancipation: Modern and Postmodern

  • State regulation of religious property under a secular state.

  • Expansion of education without commensurate expansion in good quality jobs in the formal, regular sector of employment.

  • Increasing proportion of old population, rising health cost, and declining security in family context and otherwise.

  • Goverment support to dalit capitalists to improve their competitive potential against others in a free market.

  • Increased mobility of people and ethnic mobilizations and conflicts in metropolitan cities.

(a) analyzing problems in entirety covering various dimensions of them; and

(b) identifying new ways of looking at problems from the perspectives of the contesting parties.
