An early call for U. G. C. Sponsored National Seminar on Resistance Studies 23-24 August 2011 at Tiptur Karnataka
About the College: Pallagatti Adavappa First Grade College, a reputed institution of Kalpataru Vidya Samsthe, Tiptur commemorates its Golden Jubilee this year. It is one of the best and oldest colleges in Karnataka. Located 147 Kms away from Bangalore, enjoys a pleasant climate and is connected by rail and road transport.
About the Seminar: A group of Indian scholars brought this term into much popularity and made it focal point of research, investigation, critical scholarship and publication through their Subaltern Studies. The Subaltern studies published nine volumes on South Asian history and society, particularly from “subaltern perspective” during 1982-1996, hence, from then onwards this term attracts the attention of many researchers and scholars especially of social scientists and theologians. The geopolitical, economic, historical, political and social maps of the highly backward Indians of the rural and urban regions guided by their 'subaltern consciousness' make us alert to recurring famine, drought, starvation, malnutrition, disease, superstitious belief, bonded slavery, sexual exploitation and humiliation as the by-product of elite society.
