"Unchaining Equality: Confronting India's Caste System" is a comprehensive exploration of the deeply entrenched caste system in India and its impact on society. This book delves into the historical origins of the caste system, its presence in Hindu scriptures, and the social hierarchy and discrimination it perpetuates. It examines the far-reaching consequences of the caste system on various aspects of life, including social justice, education, economic inequality, politics, gender equality, religion, social movements, media representation, inter-caste marriages, and its global implications. Through an in-depth analysis of each chapter, readers gain insights into the challenges faced by marginalized castes and the efforts made towards achieving social equality and justice. The book explores the legal framework in place to address caste discrimination and the role of education in challenging the caste system. It also examines the economic exploitation faced by marginalized castes and the potential for economic empowerment through reservation policies and entrepreneurship. Additionally, the book delves into the intersectionality of caste and gender, the discrimination faced by women, and the role of religion and social movements in challenging the caste system. Furthermore, "Unchaining Equality" sheds light on the representation of caste in media, the biases in news reporting, and the potential of alternative media in promoting caste equality. It also explores the challenges faced by inter-caste couples, the social stigma and discrimination they encounter, and the legal and social support available to them. The book concludes by discussing the global perspective of caste discrimination, international efforts to address it, and the importance of collective action for social transformation. Overall, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and confronting the caste system in India, aiming to contribute to the creation of a casteless society.

Equity remains elusive in contemporary global society. Gendered inequities abound and persist but are typically overlooked in our responses to difficult problems such as climate change, poverty, or economic crisis. Despite this blind spot, gender matters more than ever for achieving social and economic progress. Gender Unchained is a revelatory and tightly argued book that offers two ways forward. First, that we embrace the smashing of the gender binary and second, that we develop gender transformative approaches to solving the larger issues of our time. Inspirational and informational in equal measure, Gender Unchained is a well-reasoned call to action that examines many facets of gender inequity and offers realworld solutions for tackling it at the root.

Why equality cannot be conditional on a shared human “nature” but has to be for all For centuries, ringing declarations about all men being created equal appealed to a shared human nature as the reason to consider ourselves equals. But appeals to natural equality invited gradations of natural difference, and the ambiguity at the heart of “nature” enabled generations to write of people as equal by nature while barely noticing the exclusion of those marked as inferior by their gender, race, or class. Despite what we commonly tell ourselves, these exclusions and gradations continue today. In Unconditional Equals, political philosopher Anne Phillips challenges attempts to justify equality by reference to a shared human nature, arguing that justification turns into conditions and ends up as exclusion. Rejecting the logic of justification, she calls instead for a genuinely unconditional equality. Drawing on political, feminist, and postcolonial theory, Unconditional Equals argues that we should understand equality not as something grounded in shared characteristics but as something people enact when they refuse to be considered inferiors. At a time when the supposedly shared belief in human equality is so patently not shared, the book makes a powerful case for seeing equality as a commitment we make to ourselves and others, and a claim we make on others when they deny us our status as equals.

Men and women remain unequal in the United States, but in this provocative book, Robert Max Jackson demonstrates that gender inequality is irrevocably crumbling. Destined for Equality, the first integrated analysis of gender inequality's modern decline, tells the story of that progressive movement toward equality over the past two centuries in America, showing that women's status has risen consistently and continuously. Jackson asserts that women's rising status has been due largely to the emergence of modern political and economic organizations, which have transformed institutional priorities concerning gender. Although individual politicians and businessmen generally believed women should remain in their traditional roles, Jackson shows that it was simply not in the interests of modern enterprise and government to foster inequality. The search for profits, votes, organizational rationality, and stability all favored a gender-neutral approach that improved women's status. The inherent gender impartiality of organizational interests won out over the prejudiced preferences of the men who ran them. As economic power migrated into large-scale organizations inherently indifferent to gender distinctions, the patriarchal model lost its social and cultural sway, and women's continual efforts to rise in the world became steadily more successful. Total gender equality will eventually prevail; the only questions remaining are what it will look like, and how and when it will arrive.

I am an equalist. I believe passionately in equality. Gender equality has become a toxic mix of spin, lies and half truths laced with vested interests and hypocrisy. Its time to take a big step back and take a fresh look at... The Wage Gap, Employment, Domestic Violence, Pensions, Who Should Pay for Whom and all other gender discrimination regardless of the gender of those who will gain or lose from equality for all. Feminism is discriminatory in itself and it's insistence that equality is only for women makes true equality impossible because you can't have equality on only one side. The first step in the fight for equality is to correctly identify the causes of the inequality and by making the fight always women vs men rather than everyone against discrimination we have in many cases not yet taken this first step. Both men and women suffer from and are also beneficiaries of gender discrimination. Both men and women must give up a lot to attain equality but the advantages of true equality far outweigh the losses. Men, women and also children would gain enormously from true equality making it something we should all be fighting for together.

What equality means in three modern democracies, both to leaders of important groups and to challengers of the status quo, is the subject of this wide-ranging canvass of perceptions and policy. It is based on extensive questionnaire data gathered from leaders in various segments of society in each countrybusiness, labor unions, farm organizations, political parties, the media-as well as from groups that are seeking greater equalityfeminists, black leaders in the United States, leaders of the Burakumin in Japan. The authors describe the extent to which the same meanings of equality exist, both within and across nations, and locate the areas of consensus and conflict over equality. No other book has compared data of this sort for these purposes. The authors address several major substantive and theoretical issues: the role of values in relation to egalitarian outcomes; the comparison of values and perceptions about equality in economics (income equality) and politics (equality of influence); and the difference among the nations in the ways political institutions affect the incorporation of new demands for equality into the policymaking process. They pay particular attention to how policy is set on issues of gender equality. This book will be controversial, for some see no room in the understanding of political economy for the analysis of values. It will be consulted by a general audience interested in politics and culture as well as by social scientists. Elites and the Idea of Equality is an informative sequel to Equality in America by Sidney Verba and Gary R. Orren (Harvard University Press), which considers similar topics in a national context.

In The Equality Illusion, 'the most influential young feminist in the country' ( Guardian) and UK Feminista founder Kat Banyard argues passionately and articulately that feminism continues to be one of the most urgent and relevant social justice campaigns today. Women have made huge strides in equality over the last century. And yet: Women working full-time in the UK are paid on average 17% less an hour than men 1 in 3 women worldwide has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused because of her gender Of parliamentary seats across the globe only 15% are held by women and fewer than 20% of UK MPs are women 96% of executive directors of the UK's top hundred companies are men Structuring the book around a normal day, Banyard sets out the major issues for twenty-first century feminism, from work and education to sex, relationships and having children. She draws on her own campaigning experience as well as academic research and dozens of her own interviews. The book also includes information on how to get involved in grassroots action.
