“…Another set of Indian studies is concerned with affirmative action for low-caste groups (for example, Borooah et al, 2007;Hasan, 2009). Hasan's book-length study, Politics of Inclusion, is devoted to the issues of castes, minorities and reservations and quotas (affirmative action).…”

“…A study by Borooah et al (2006) is a rare example of a China-India comparison of rural poverty which takes account of the minoritymajority factor along with the educational level of the household head and access to land. It is based on the CASS Household survey data for 1995 for China and the NCAER survey for 1994-95 for India.…”

“…It discusses social and political exclusion and the under-representation of the Muslim minority, as well as discrimination against dalit Muslims and Christians. Borooah et al (2007) use the NSS 55th Round employment data to determine the probabilities of Muslims, SCs and STs being in one of the following three categories: regular-wage employment, self-employed, or casual-wage labour. The study examines the effectiveness of jobs reservation policy in India.…”

“…Borooah, Dubey and Iyer (2007), using a single round of employment survey data (1999) of India, find that the probability of being a regular salaried employee is significantly lower for Muslim labourers than for upper caste Hindus. Dutta (2004), does not explicitly model the inequality of wages across religious groups.…”

Abstract:Few researchers have examined the nature and determinants of earnings differentials among religious groups, and none has been undertaken in the context of conflict-prone multi-religious societies like the one in India. We address this lacuna in the literature by examining the differences in the average log earnings of Hindu and Muslim wage earners in India, during the 1987-2005 period. Our results indicate that education differences between Hindu and Muslim wage earners, especially differences in the proportion of wage earners with tertiary education, are largely responsible for the differences in the average log earnings of the two religious groups across the years. By contrast, differences in the returns to education do not explain the aforementioned difference in average log earnings. In conclusion, we discuss some policy implications.

“…regarded as the least educated group in society, with no resources of any kind, they are considered to be the lowest of the low (Borooah et al 2007;Borooah 2005;kijima 2006). here linguistic features were viewed as reflecting and expressing broader social images of people.…”

The notion of 'superdiversity' has engaged scholars beyond the field of sociolinguistics. In this paper we propose to shift the gaze to the linguistic, focusing on the ways in which the new diversity becomes the site of negotiations over linguistic resources, and to widen the scope of debate. the ways in which people negotiate access to resources in increasingly diverse societies are changing. Looking at these phenomena through a sociolinguistic lens is key to a developed understanding of superdiverse societies. García proposes the term 'translanguaging' to refer to the multiple discursive practices in which multilingual speakers engage in order to make sense of their worlds. translanguaging goes beyond code-switching, but incorporates it. García points out that multilinguals translanguage to include and facilitate communication with others, but also to construct deeper understandings. translanguaging includes but extends what others have called language use and language contact among multilinguals. rather than focusing on the language itself, translanguaging makes it apparent that there are no clear-cut boundaries between the languages of bilinguals. this paper draws on sociolinguistic ethnographic research projects which investigate the linguistic practices of children and young people in and around complementary (community-language) schools, to argue that multilingual young people in english cities access a wide range of semiotic resources in ways which are not bounded as 'languages'. In developing a sociolinguistics of superdiversity we should look closely at practices of translanguaging, and consider the histories, geographies, and discourses which shape them.Zusammenfassung: Der Begriff der Superdiversität beschäftigt auch wissenschaftler außerhalb des Feldes der Soziolinguistik. In diesem Beitrag schlagen wir vor, den Blick auf die Frage der Sprache zu richten und sich auf die wege zu konzentrieren, in denen die neue Diversität zum raum für Verhandlungen über sprachliche ressourcen wird. Die Art und weise, mit der sich Menschen in zunehmend diversifizierten Gesellschaften Zugang zu Ressourcen verschaffen, Z Erziehungswiss (2010) 13:549-572 550 A. creese and A. Blackledge ändert sich. Ein Zugang zum tieferen Verständnis von superdiversen Gesellschaften eröffnet sich, wenn man solche phänomene aus soziolinguistischer perspektive betrachtet. Garcia schlägt den Begriff "translanguaging" vor, der auf die multiplen diskursiven praxen verweist, in denen mehrsprachige Sprecher den Sinn ihrer welten erfassen. Translanguaging (für das es keinen deutschen Ausdruck gibt; gemeint ist: in Mehrsprachigkeit -sprachübergreifend -agieren) geht über Code Switching im Sinne des wechselns zwischen Sprachen hinaus, schließt dies aber mit ein. Garcia weist darauf hin, dass Mehrsprachige in dieser weise agieren, um kommunikation mit anderen zu erleichtern -aber auch um tieferes Verständnis zu erreichen. Translanguaging schließt ein, und geht gleichzeitig über das hinaus, was als Sprachgebrauch und Sprachkontakt zwischen Mehrsprac...
