Ambedkar Memorial Lecture (AML) Team, TISS, Tuljapur
Concept Note
India’s tryst with destiny that took a definitive shape in 1947 was supposed to take a collective journey along the path of democracy, equality, and justice for all. As a newborn nation, this journey was expected to be fraught with multiple challenges. As India has completed more than seventy years of its freedom from colonial rule and has entered into the twenty-first century it is rather disappointing to see where the journey has led to. Glaring social inequalities, extreme Income disparities, social exclusions of various types, violence against women and the marginalized continue to remain unabated. The farmers are in distress, the educational institutions are reduced to certificate-manufacturing units, public health care in disarray, and the employment and labour market is so volatile. The most unfortunate reality is that often the state is inept or corrupt, and the public policies, instead of serving the interest of people, serve the interest of the capitalists. The human rights record of the state is also dismal. Nevertheless, people are raising their voices through various movements against displacement, atrocities or marginalizations. The inspiration that people such as B R Ambedkar and Jotiba Phule provide has ignited mass mobilization across India. The atmosphere is poignant with yearnings for a positive change, yet the challenges for attaining equality and justice are even bigger than it was seventy years ago.
The Conference on “Understanding Marginalities in Neo-Liberal Regime.” intends to discuss the various aspects of marginalities existing in the Indian society concerning gender, class, caste, Education Policies and Exclusion, Market and State-led Development, etc. It attempts to bring scholars from different fields of knowledge to discuss and debate these issues. We expect that the papers would bring in new insights which preferably would be interdisciplinary.
The Sub-Themes are as follows
1. Exclusion, Discrimination, and Marginalization
– Conceptual/Theoretical Issue
2. State and Minorities
3. Gender and Intersectionality
4. Developmental Policies and Marginalized/Weaker/Smaller Communities
5. Fascism, Communalism, and Marginality
6. Market and State-led Development Projects and its Impact on Adivasi/Indigenous people
7. Development and Displacement
8. Caste, Gender and Labour Market
9. Education Policies and Exclusion, Marginalization
10. State, Market and Agrarian Communities
or
any other sub-theme related to the main theme.
This conference is part of the annual event of Ambedkar Memorial Lecture Series.
A Brief Note on the AML lectures Series
The AML lecture series was started in the year 2009 and Prof. M. Kunhaman (TISS, Tuljapur) was the first speaker of the Ambedkar Memorial Lecture (AML) series.

AML is a critical and constant engagement for us in the construction and deconstruction of the established notions of our society. The basic purpose of the conference is to create a meaningful dialogue on the social justice agenda through the active participation of intellectuals. This lecture makes a commitment of participating leaders from Academics, Civil society and Jurists towards Dr Ambedkar’s idea of social justice and to build and scale up momentum for the future generations.
Objectives of AML
1) To honour Dr Ambedkar’s intellectual contribution to the world.
2) To unify thoughts which explore and propagate different dimensions of Dr Ambedkar values &ideas.
3) To create an opportunity for the academicians
&students of diverse backgrounds to familiarize themselves with the scholarship of Ambedkar in various fields and their relevance today.
4) To formulate the process of continuous socialization amongst everybody who holds an inclination towards exploring the values and ideas of Dr Ambedkar and simultaneously passing on the knowledge of those who are unaware of these values and ideas.
