  • Can Dalit laugh? Humour as resistance and politics of Dalit-comedy in India
    Ajeet Kumar Pankaj, Mohammad Niyaz Ahmad
    Comedy Studies, 2026
    Dalits in India are an ex-untouchable caste group who have been placed at the bottom of the Indian hierarchical social structure, whereby they often experience exclusion, discrimination, humiliation, and inequality. However, despite the enduring of caste-based inequality, undignified treatment, and humiliation, Dalits find their ways to negotiate, assert, and resist the prevailing form of caste practice. Recently, through digital platforms, Dalits have begun using humour and comedy to enact everyday resistance against discrimination and exclusion on the basis of caste. Humour has been known as a significant part of social life, and often, marginalised communities have used it to challenge and mock power and influential people. Despite its significance to challenging power, caste and Dalit studies have undervalued the analytical value of humour and largely overlooked its ability to depict suffering and tragedy. Drawing upon the stand-up comedy on digital platforms and various other mediums of Dalit ‘humour’, this article explores the politics of Dalit comedy and the way it uses humour to challenge the power and resist caste-based exclusion. Further, the article examines the issues and challenges that Dalits face when using comedy and laughter to challenge the dominant narrative of social structure to claim their freedom and liberation in a caste society.
  • Dr Ambedkar’s idea of human rights and its scope of teaching in social work education: from text to context
    Ajeet Kumar Pankaj, Mohammad Niyaz Ahmad, Iftekhar Alam
    Social Work Education, 2024
    Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (Ambedkar henceforth) is not merely known as the chief architect of the Indian constitution, social activist, philosopher, and social reformer but also as a great human rights defender in India. His idea and vision of human rights have been referencing points for creating an egalitarian society and formulating social policies. Despite his strong vision, teaching, and philosophy about an equal and just society, the pedagogy of social work is underutilized in social work education. His ideas of human rights were enshrined in the Indian constitution which even prevented marginalized social groups such as Dalit (Dalits are ex-untouchable caste group who live at the bottom in Indian social structure), tribal, and women from exploitation and protect their human rights. We argue that Ambedkar’s strong vision for a just and egalitarian society, and his rights and policy-based framework are key human rights features to introduce in the curriculum of social work education within India and outside India. This will not merely equip social work professionals to be better human rights defenders but also equip them significantly to contribute to creating a just and equal society.
  • The economic status of Sri Lankan and Tibetan refugees in India
    Mohammad Niyaz Ahmad
    Routledge Handbook of Refugees in India, 2022
    Refugees living in India are free to safeguard their cultural identities and linguistic differentials. They are also being provided shelter, education, and livelihood opportunities. They are being trained by various NGOs to generate income. However, there is no uniformity in terms of securing their rights. For instance, Tibetan have been given rights and legally entitled to live in India whereas several refugee communities are not entitled to live in India. However, still many refugee communities are living in India on the mercy of government with different social, economic, and political support of state. The refugees are engaged in various economic and livelihood activities across the country, but some of them have better access and support from government and other state agents whereas some experience trouble. Taking the example of Tibetan and Sri Lankan-Tamil refugees, one can see both has given legal status to live in the country but both the communities lack the uniformity of law because Indian government do not have uniform law to deal with refugee crisis. However, both refugee communities – Tibetan and Sri Lankan – have been engaged in different economic activities to survive in India. This chapter aims to elaborate the comparative evaluation of ‘Uniformity of law and Economic Opportunity’ accorded to Tibetan and Sri Lankan Refugees living in India and its practical application and genuineness at field with the help of available secondary literature.
