Challenges to Classical Theories Intro: Rejection of the rationalist basis of movements. Resources stressed like leadership, organization, ideology are also questioned. What is new is the insistence on the cultural aspects of movements. The insurrection of subjugated knowledges or the creation of new identities. These were explicit attempts at reworking the traditional Marxist explanatory frameworks. A. Subaltern Studies (6 lectures) Introduction (1970s Guha, 11 volume series). Intellectual background.

13 Peasant movements and agrarian struggles Attempts have been made by some scholars to provide an all India picture for both the British and post-independence periods. Peasant struggles have taken place al over India and by no means have they been the same. Peasant movements have been classified by several scholars. These classifications need to be examined. The peasant movements can be analysed looking at their structure, organization, ideology and achievement. Tribal movements India has a large tribal population spread all over the country. Several tribal movements have taken place. The Anthropological Survey of india identified thirty six ongoing tribal movements in India in These revolts have taken place for various reasons. Tribal movements have also been classified. Different typologies have been evolved depending on the issues involved. In order to understand these movements they must be analysed in respect to the issues involved, their organisation and leadership eg movements of self determination amongst the north east tribals. The sanskritisation movements or Bhagat movements. Workers movements Like other sections of society workers of both the organized and unorganized sectors have also resorted to collective action to secure their demands. This was largely confined to trade Union and working class activities and movements for salary, employment, bonus, job security, etc. This class stood in opposition to the bourgeois capitalist class. Understanding of working class movements must look at their modes of agitation, the issues involved as also their organization and leadership and change in nthe nature of these movements.
