Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 7-28, March 2023.
One may assign people to three broad categories from an ecological perspective. Ecosystem people meet the bulk of their resource requirements from a limited area near their habitation through gathering or low-input agriculture and animal husbandry. Biosphere people enjoy access to resources garnered from the entire biosphere and made available through markets, while ecological refugees are people that have lost access to their traditional base of natural resources yet have very limited access to resources through markets. In India today the ever-growing pressure of biosphere people is converting an increasingly large proportion of ecosystem people into ecological refugees.

Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 34-50, March 2023.
One of the earliest demands of Indian women’s organisations in the pre-Independence period was the right to be elected to legislative bodies. Yet, almost a century later, a vast gender gap persists in terms of women’s presence at all levels of governance. Why is it important to include women in political and policy decision-making bodies, beyond the issue of equality' Do women representatives necessarily represent women’s interests' Indeed, how do we define women’s interests and how can they be represented best' And how much presence makes for effective representation' This paper addresses these questions, both conceptually and based on empirical evidence.

Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 51-74, March 2023.
This article attempts to examine the changing distributional structure of land among various social groups at the micro-level and its implications on inequality among various social group households. Our research focusses on a case study—Gudivada village located in Nalgonda district in Telangana to understand the changes that have taken place in the landholding pattern and ensuing inequality among social groups in the studied time. The social groups have been categorised as Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Other Castes (OCs), respectively. The study found that there is a prevalence of inequality in the distribution of land among social groups which later has decreased. The landholding patten in the village has changed from being dominated by OCs to now OBCs, increasing their landholding. However, no significant growth was seen in the area owned by SCs and STs over the same period. Similarly, the decomposition of asset inequality in the studied village revealed a clear distinction between within and between social groups, that is inequality based on the assets possession is higher of within social groups (assessing inequality among the population within a particular social groups such as SCs, STs, OBCs or OCs) compared to between social groups (assessing inequality among the population between social groups such as between SCs and STs or between OBCs and OCs and so on).

Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 75-93, March 2023.
The celebration of the nation and the state is a defining feature of school textbooks across the country. The present article aims to understand the textual means and pedagogic methods used in evolving a pan-Odia identity in the school textbooks of Odisha. The study has used Odia language and social science textbooks prescribed by the state as sources of sociological analysis. It aims to analyse patterns of regional representation, cultural and religious articulation and linguistic standardisation in constructing the ideal Odia identity. The study found that historical events, such as the Kalinga war, the Khandagiri site and the Paik rebellion have been used as memory posters. Though Odisha represents the highest form of linguistic diversity, there is an attempt to idealise Sanskritised Odia as authentic Odia which tends to delegitimise the region’s multiple dialects and tongues. The article has also noted that only the cultural and linguistic practices of the coastal region have been used as a means of defining the cultural identity of Odisha. Thus, we argue that textbooks work as an ideological state apparatus, organised on principles of recognition and de-recognition of text and traditions of languages, regions, religions and cultural pathways of caste and the adivasi community of Odisha.

This short essay is an analysis of the Supreme Court decision that upheld the validity of the 103rd Amendment of the Indian Constitution, which had introduced clause (6) in Articles 15 and 16. While the amendment’s validity was upheld by a 3–2 verdict, the author supports the minority decision of the two dissenting judges.

Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 98-107, March 2023.
The Supreme Court’s recent judgment upholding the economically weaker sections (EWS) quota has given rise to the idea that reservations can be provided to economically vulnerable sections of the people. This expansion in the beneficiaries of affirmative action has triggered the perception that the reservation policy, which was earlier seen as promoting the principle of equal opportunity and providing compensation to historically marginalised castes, is now also a tool to overthrow poverty, unemployment and economic deprivation. This essay addresses this rebuttal by the court and clarifies that in the context of India, the implementation of reservation policies was based on the premise that the abolition of untouchability was not sufficient to secure equality of opportunity and the battle for social equality will remain as long as we are struggling to deal with caste discrimination. This essay explains why the EWS quota is likely to be a poor tool for achieving economic equality or redressing social discrimination.

Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 108-116, March 2023.
The social, geographic and economic diversity of India is a well-known fact. Reputed for its avowed adherence to the principle of ‘unity in diversity’, this country faces several real, day-to-day challenges that it must overcome. This essay explains a few puzzles in the evolution, conceptualisation, legalisation and implementation of the ‘quota–reservation’ policies in India. It argues that seemingly logical and fair affirmative actions through ‘targeting strategies’ can be counterproductive in the long run. While describing an instance of the ‘equal but separate’ approach in imparting education to India’s minority communities as exclusionary, the essay also suggests that data-based understanding of the structure of social and economic differentials is the key to chart out robust policies for overcoming social exclusion and achieve effective equity.

Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 117-123, March 2023.
Are economically weaker sections (EWS) students from the general category, who are not disadvantaged socially and educationally, underrepresented in higher education institutions in India' We examine this question by analysing a novel database of educational institutions in India, which were ranked in 2019 and 2022. The share of EWS students remains well above 10 per cent in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)-ranked higher education institutions both before and after the implementation of EWS quota. Analysis of the panel data of the same institutions ranked in both 2019 and 2022 as well as the Periodic Labour Force Survey data 2019 confirms the above finding. The evidence, thus, is at odds with the justification of the EWS reservation policy.

Most sectors of the economy came to a standstill due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdown in India and elsewhere. Conducting research in normal circumstances is very different from researching in a pandemic situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic the world has faced recently. The present essay attempts to spell out the methodological challenges—precision versus indication—encountered in research undertaken by the authors in three very unique circumstances.

Abstract: Social Change, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 131-137, March 2023.
The present contribution makes the 16th part of Social Change Indicators series. We have deliberated on several social and economic issues in the previous editions, and the topics included vulnerable households of different social classes, poverty, migration, living conditions, social protection, displacement of labour, health and morbidity conditions of older adults, women’s time-use patterns and intimate partner violence. In this part, we examine the nutritional status of adult males and females (aged 15–49 years) as well as children below 5 years, across states of India. We first provide the state-wise prevalence of malnourished children in rural and urban areas according to the anthropometric indices of underweight (weight for age). Subsequently, the ranking of states based on percentage of children who are underweight, stunted, wasted, and anaemic is presented. The information on the prevalence of adult male and female with below-normal body mass index or anaemia is included next. As a final point, information on the degrees of overweight men, women, and children is presented.
