A propos de cet article

VG, sewn, in lt. creased orig. orange and purple wrapper. xxix, 175 p.; 18 cm. On social function of the employer. [First printed in 1936] New foreword to 3rd edition by Oscar Lewis `Our chief concern is not to establish thefact that in this year 1932 every village in North India has twenty-four castes rendering services such as are noted in the introduction,but to establish the fact that there is today within a North India Hindu village community an interrelation of services which carries with it certain responsibilities & rights.[which] constitute the structure of the Hindu Jajmani system.' (p. 1 f.) -- `References to the term "jajman," or "jujman" asit is spelled in older literature,are found in court records usually in reference to the employer of a Brahman priest. The priest is referred to as the "Purohit" and his rights as "purohiti haqq." We have discovered in Karimpur [assumed name for this village], however, that the term "jajman" is used for all who have the employer relationship. And the rights involved in the employer-employee relationship are popularly called "Jajmani haqq."' (p. ix) -- `The village Council of Elders, commonly known as the Panchayat, does not have the hold on the village people that it had prior to the introduction of an extensive court system. The autonomy of the village has in this way been impaired through the introduction of a centralized system of courts. As has been shown in the illustrations above the Panchayat has a certain amount of influence over "kam karnewalas" but they no longer have the same influence over jajmans. Jajmans know that only Government courts can punish for violation of contract, so they pay little attention to what the Panchayat says. We saw several cases where the Council of Elders appeared to be helpless.' (p. 106 f.). 3rd printing edition. Binding is Paperbound.…
