CHAPTER VI OVERLAPPING DISTINCTIONS Oxford English Dictionary gives a Latin root (identitas, from idem, 'the same') and two basic meanings of the word identity. The first is the concept of absolute sameness in the sense that this is identical to that. The second is a concept of distinctiveness which presumes consistency or continuity over time. In this sense the notion of identity establishes two possible relations of comparison between persons and things: similarity on one hand and difference on the other (Jenkins 1996: 3-4). This research work has also tried to analyze the 'similarities' and 'differences' between Hindus and Muslims of rural areas of Uttar Pradesh with the aim to analyze the identity construction. The background is that in rural settings the life conditions for Hindus and Muslims are similar. The pressures of everyday routine behaviour increase the possibility of interaction between them. Hence, what are the areas of cultural overlaps and of differences? In the same context, what are the patterns of interactions in various social situations? Barth's model of ethnic identity where, 'groups exist even though the barriers separating them are osmotic rather than watertight: boundaries persist despite a flow of personnel across them' ( 1969), also holds true in the context of Hindu and Muslim identities with slight modifications. That is, not only have there been interactions between both communities, but they also have adopted cultural practices of each other. Hence, there are overlaps in their cultural practices. Though there are disagreemertts among scholars with regard to the process by which commonalities evolved, yet there is unanimity about the fact that despite overlaps community boundaries are maintained and manned. This aspect of identity is apparent from the analysis of the structure of the family, in ways rites of passage are conducted, educational, and their occupational status, and the position of women in both communities. Even though Shari'at laws are supposed to be the guiding principle in terms of ethos and norms of the Muslim family, there are, however, striking similarities with Hindus. This not only pertains to average number of generations living under one roofl and the average number of family members2, but also with regard to the preference of family type viz., joint family. The reasons cited are also similar for both communities. The commonality of reason is also there among those from both communities who prefer nuclear over joint family. There is a lot of common ground between both communities on what constitutes ancestral property and how it should be distributed among male heirs? difference comes to the fore on the issue However, of the whether women/ daughters have a share in ancestral property? In both communities everything in one's parents house is considered as ancestral property and this included 'immovable' and The difference between Hindus and Muslims families on average number of generations living under one roof is 0.01 (Hindus- 2.68 and Muslims- 2.67). 2 The difference between Hindus and Muslims families on average number of family members is 0. 92 (Hindus-11.0 1 and Muslims1 11.93). 224 'movable' properties. With regard to distribution, it was argued across communities that either every item should be divided equally among all the inheritors or a division should take place on the basis of Maliat (market valuation). If Maliat method is followed then each person do not get a share in every item of ancestral property. On the issue of women's share in ancestral property, there were divergent views within both communities. A significant proportion of the Muslims believed that daughters along with sons should inherit property. But Hindus did not subscribe to such opinion and believed that daughters do not have a share in ancestral property apart from the expenses and gifts of marriage. In contrast, Muslims opined that women have a share apart from marriage expenses and gifts. One can attribute this view of Muslims to the specific instructions of the Koran. But the fact that a majority of them do not practice it indicates the acculturative influence of Hindus. The core marriage rituals of both communities are very different from each other. One possible reason is the religious underpinning of their respective marriage rituals. Madan ( 1989) and Mines ( 1989) assign an important role to religion as the structural basis for identity, however, the subsidiary customs and rituals observed at the time of marriage are similar between the two communities. Customs such as women singing songs on the finalisation of marriage, Chheka (engagement) ceremony, rituals observed in the Mandap on the following morning of marriage and the first food a newly wed bride takes in the groom's house. Apart from the abovementioned ones, similarities also exist in the perceptions regarding the age of marriage, the importance of purity of 225 lineage (though both communities use different terms), and marriage not being permitted among consangunial relatives and the prevalence of dowry. In stereotypical terms, the practice of polygamy strongly associated with Muslims in India (Ahmed: is 1979). Muslim respondents also opined that Shari'at permits a man seven marriages. But the fact that there are certain conditions attached to this provision is hardly ever mentioned. It also needs to be mentioned that there are significant instances of polygamy among Hindus also. The difference lies in the fact that among Muslims polygamy is practiced in the presence of existing wife. But among Hindus polygamy is practiced only when for some reason or other the existing wife is not there. That is, upon death of or separation from existing wife. In other words, in both communities men have the permission to marry more than once. However, it is only among Muslims that women are allowed to remarry subject to certain conditions. Closely associated with polygamy is the issue of divorce. The difference between both communities becomes apparent when it comes to accepting that divorce do take place. Unlike Muslims, Hindu upper castes did not believe that marriages could be broken. The reason they cited was that among them marriage was a sacrament, whereas among Muslims it is a contract. So for Hindus, a married couple can get separated but their marriage cannot be annulled. However, the researcher did come across the instances where divorces had taken place among the upper castes. During fieldwork, agrarian and subaltern caste respondents narrated in detail the process of dissolution of marriage mediated by the caste panchayats. The dissimilarity is larger insofar as divorce is 226 concerned. The similarity between both communities is at a more basic level i.e. in both communities women cannot ask for divorce. This depends upon the whims and wishes of man. As one of the respondent of village Mani Kalan pointed out that an infant does not belong to any religion as his/her religion is of their parent's. Hence, the rite of passage prepares the child for that religion. In birth rituals there is a remarkable similarity between both communities. This begins with the singing of Sawhar to the shaving of the head of the child. But among Hindus there is no such comparable custom as among Muslims wherein the Maulvi whispers the Azan and Akamat in the right and left ears of the child respectively. Furthermore, the similarity between both communities extends even in the gender bias vis-a-vis birth rituals. That is, Sawhar not being sung in the case of a girl child among Hindus. Similarly, among Muslims, in Hakika (christening) ceremony, the proportion of boy to girl child named is 1:2, upon the ritual sacrifice of an animal. In religious initiations in both communities there is a degree of informality. The child is encouraged to participate in festivals and religious ceremonies. Older members of the family take upon themselves to educate the child in religious matters. Among Muslims the child is encouraged to go to the mosque along with male family members. Similarly, among Hindus, mostly grandparents teach the child to learn religious hymns methods in the evening adopted by before both dinner. communities, Among there the is formal a wide divergence. Among Hindus one cannot perform Yagna until the 227 thread ceremony is performed. This is applicable only to male, women are anyway not allowed to perform Yagna. They can do so only as children a companion to irrespective of a man. gender are However, sent to all Muslim Madarsa for religious instructions. In rituals immediately after death and before cremation or burial, in both communities, the dead person is put on the ground, bathed, embalmed with perfume and dressed in new clothes. These rituals are performed by the family members of same gender as that of the dead person. Moreover, there is a difference in the death rituals of adult males and females and boys and girls in both communities. The colour of the shroud and of the cloth for Hindus is dependent upon the marital status of the women i.e. whether she was a widow or not at the time of her death. Similarly, among Muslims, the length of shroud of a dead female is 1.5 times longer than that of a male. Even in rituals following cremations and burial, among Hindus and Muslims respectively, there is a great degree of similarity. Among Hindus, these rituals are observed over a period of 13 days and among Muslims it is observed only for one day, but the underlying notion is the same in both communities. That is, all rituals are aimed towards the peace of dead person in the other life. As Hindus read Shanti Parva of Mahabharat, a similar practice exists among Muslims who call children from the mosques to read the Koran. However, unlike Hindus, among Muslims recognized (Mines: 1973). 228 death pollution is not Education is one sphere where there is a greater degree of difference between both communities. Hindus send their children to Madarasa. government This run difference schools is due whereas to the Muslims to variations in preference and purpose of education. Muslims preferred Dini Talim (religious education) Duniyavi over Talim (worldly education), because they believe that the purpose of education is to make a better human being. In the opinion of Hindus, the purpose of education is to equip oneself to earn livelihood. However, scholars like Rogers Jeffery and Patricia M. Jaffery ( 1994) believe that Muslims go for Islamic educational institution because they do not get admissions in government run schools. For education beyond primary and secondary level both communities opted for government run schools. Boys are expected to study till B.A., or equivalent to B.A., if pursuing religious education. But for girls the level is much lower in both communities. Among Hindus the girls are expected at the most to pass class 1 Qth and Muslims believe that religious education is sufficient for them. Hindus pursue agriculture as an occupation whereas Muslims are agriculture. mostly engaged Surprisingly more in occupations Muslims are other than involved in biradari based occupations than Hindus are in caste based occupations. This becomes important when it is believed that among Muslims there is no caste like structures. Overall, Hindus preferred government service and first choice of Muslims was that of a Hafizi (teaching in Madrasa) for their children. 229 Analyses of gender biasness between both communities reveal striking similarities. In the case of ancestral property, among Muslims women do have a share, and it is not so among Hindus. Whether this is practiced by all Muslims or not is a matter of family norms, but women never ask for their share. In marriages, because great importance is attached to the purity of lineage thus most marriages are arranged ones. Hence their opinion is never sought with regard to their willingness to marry or their acceptance of the arranged match. She can never divorce her husband, but can secure divorce by persuading him to do so. Among Muslims she can remarry after divorce subject to certain conditions but not so among Hindus. In rites of passage, women are considered unequal to men communities. initiation to This in one ranges death rites. respect from or birth Though, another rituals there was to in both religious an universal acknowledgment of the necessity of women's education, yet the preferred level of their education was always lower than that of the male. Moreover, the reason for their education was never to make them independent and self-respecting individuals. Rather it was seen as a necessity so that after their marriage they could tutor their child and read and write letters. Purdah is preferred for women in both communities. Even those castes or biradaris, who felt that there is nothing wrong if women work outside home, would want their women folk to be at home if they had the requisite resources. At this Muslims point it is have more plausible argue commonality among that Hindus and themselves than differences. The similarity varies from structural features such 230 as organization property, purity of of the importance lineage, family, attached unequal distribution to of endogamy, status of ancestral emphasis women to on cultural practices such as customs and rituals associated with main marriage ceremony, religious initiation, birth and death rites. Moreover, even in areas where there are clear-cut scriptural injunctions the prevalent norms has taken precedence. For example, there is detailed instruction in the Koran on the proportion of daughters' share in ancestral property, but this is rarely practiced. Again, there are differences between the two communities as well. This religion is the guiding factor. marriage functions such as is mostly in areas where This ranges from the main Nikah among Muslims and Saptapadi, Panigrahan and Sindoor Dan among Hindus, to the perception and purpose of education, to occupational preference for their children. In other words, though there is a great deal of overlap between both communities, but at the same time there are few but important distinctions also. These differences are the boundary markers of the community, which at times are overt and many a times are latent in nature. As mentioned earlier, identities are not simply given, but are constructed in interaction with 'others'. The underlying assumption is that an individual chooses a course of action over another when there is a choice depending upon the salience and commitment to an identity (Stryker: 1968 & 1980). From the analysis of interaction pattern across several social situations, it became apparent that people from both communities choose interactants very consciously. They are aware of the consequences of their choice in terms of identity projection. This is not only. confined 231 to inter-community interaction, but also to interaction. Therefore, if interone and were intra-castefbiradari to draw a scale of preference of interactants then first preference is for the kin. This is followed by other members of one's own castefbiradari, members of other castefbiradari and members of other community in the same order of preference. This, however, does not deny the possibility of situational variance 1n interaction patterns.· The situations, which are economic in nature such comparatively interaction as interaction more could be for agricultural inter-castefbiradari observed. and Conversely in purposes, community situations wherein so-called family reputation, honour and status are at stake, people engage in more intra-castefbiradari interaction. Such patterns of interaction in both communities again highlight the fact that not only in given part of identity but also in the process of construction of identity they share similarities. Apart from primordially identified interactants, there are other categories of interactants viz., 'neighbours' and 'friends' who hold a significant place in the respondents' scheme of things. Physical neighbours of the same religion (better if from the same castefbiradari) is most preferred over neighbours from different religions or castesfbiradaris. However, it must be pointed out that there are village specific differences in patterns of interaction with regard to 'neighbours'. This is more to do with the spatial distribution of Mohallas (localities) and Tolas (Colonies) in Mani Kalan and Samdaha respectively3, than with the choice of interactants. The same cannot be said 3 For detail description see Chapter II 232 with certainty about 'friends'. An analysis of community and castefbiradari of five close friends reveals that ascriptive attributes play an important role in making friends. However, there are exceptions as well. Further, if one analyse caste/biradari of friends along with 'friends' as interactants, then the situation is not very different from that of neighbours. In other words, with some caution it can be stated that friends of the same community and castefbiradari are preferred. Individuals apart from being a unit in interaction are also occupants of structural positions 'in the small and specialized networks of social relationships' (Stryker & Burke: 2000). In this respect the collections of social actors connected to each other individuals in interaction occupying structural through ties of social are positions network. Methods of social network analysis provides tools for locating such structural positions and the existing ties between them. This means that all social actors possess one or more variety of resources which is the reason for their occupation of a structural position in social system. Thus, the possession and exchange of resource are also reasons for interaction. With regard to identity construction, the nature of resources and the comparative impor:tance of resources among interactants play a crucial role. This is in the sense that, in a social situation, the person with less important resource (though it is context dependent) starts the interaction and it terminates with person possessing highly valuable resource. Now the person with whom interaction terminates has the power over persons who initiated the interaction. This, in turn, also influences the constructed identity of an interactant. Thus, 233 the direction of interaction viz., initiation and termination has an important bearing on identity construction. A class- based analysis of three types of networks of interaction (economic, political and social) among sampled respondents from both villages reveal that primordial ties such as those based on caste or biradari are very important to the people. And they maintain and exhibit such ties in all opportune moments, even if they belong to different classes. This means that Bade log 4 of a community interact with Oonchi jati/ biradaris, but not with Chhote log6. Conversely Oonchi jati/ biradari also interacts with Bade log. This means that the possession of physical resources only acts as complementary to non-physical resources, particularly those of an ascripitive nature. Hence, in social situations where the exchange of physical resources interaction, the is the determinant of the importance on ascripitive direction of non-physical resource is never forgotten. Even in intra-class interactions, persons of the same castejbiradari are preferred over others. An upper caste/biradari person would approach persons of his or her own castejbiradari and also from the same class. This is understandably so because, as has been shown in ChapterII, despite following a different method of class calculation, there is a high correlation between castejbiradari and class. Bade Log are those people who are from the upper castefbiradar and own assests in the terms of four or five CCP. s Oonchi Jati/ biradari are those people who are from the upper caste f biradari but do not possess assets in the terms of four or five CCP. 6 Chhote log are those people who are from agrarian or subaltern castesfbiradari. For detail description see Chapter- II. 4 234 However, there are exceptions to this correlation as well. There are poor people among upper castesfbiradaris and rich people among agrarian and subaltern castesfbiradaris. But the interesting part of intra-class interaction is that these aberrations of castefbiradari-class correlation never become part of interaction network. Most of their interaction is with those who do not belong to that class. This aspect of interaction is amply demonstrated through the social network analysis of interaction within economic (agricultural), political (panchayat cases and elections) and social (intermediate/immediate crisis situations) networks. Only in circumstances where they do not find interactants from their 'own' castefbiradari or community they direct the interaction towards in teractan ts of other caste f biradari or religious community. In such cases also the interaction is with those who are horizontally at similar level in other community. Eastern Uttar Pradesh, where this study is located is also the site for one of the contentious Hindu-Muslim disputes in recent years i.e., around the Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. It can certainly be said that this dispute has sharpened the notion of 'we' vs. 'they' among Hindus and Muslims. However, as the research findings indicate these two communities share a great deal of commonality. This is not only restricted to overt cultural practices but also at the social structure level. This does not mean there are no differences between them. Rather, though the differences are few, they are important religious ones. Moreover, underpinnings, since they boundary markers. 235 are these used differences as have community Furthermore, members of both communities are very conscious of the differences between them. For this reason they choose their interacting partners very consciously, so that they do not project or get associated with identities, which are proscribed by their community. This phenomena is most evident in the fact that the highest level of interaction is with 'kin', followed by other members of one's own castefbiradari and then members of other castefbiradari, and finally people from other religious community. In a similar vein, it also became apparent that identity at intra-community level undergoing direction change. of i.e., at inter-castefbiradari As has been interaction i.e., the discussed point of level is earlier, the initiation and termination has an important bearing on the resultant identity construction. An analysis of interaction data at inter- castefbiradari level indicate that all interactions initiated by the subaltern castefbiradari do not terminate with the upper castes. Rather a majority of them is directed towards the members of their own castefbiradari. This means that for them, unlike earlier times, all the options do not end with the upper castes. The subaltern castefbiradari have now greater choice in choosing their interactants. Hence, all the resultant identities of such interactions are no more decided by the upper castes. By directing their interactions with members of their own castefbiradari, the subaltern castefbiradari trying to assert their identity. However, it is a conjecture high that given the correlation is matter of between castefbiradari and class, to what extent new interactants of subaltern caste/biradari are able to meet their requirements. 236 But it can certainly be stated that they are making an attempt to break the mould of traditional relations. As happens with a majority of research, this research work also carne up with some findings which do not have any direct and specific reference to the objective of the study. However, at the larger level it does point to the dynamics of Hindu-Muslim identity. First, Madan (1981) in his study of Hindus and Muslims of Kashmir has pointed out that that 'biradaris' of Muslims and castes of Hindus are not same. However, this study contradicts this assertion. Let us begin with characteristics of caste elucidated by Ghurye Ghurye lists six features of caste viz., (a) (1950). prevalence of hierarchy; (b) prevalence of endogamy; (c) association with a hereditary occupation; (d) restriction on food and social interaction; (e) distinctions in customs, dress and speech and; (f) civil and religious disabilities enjoyed by different sections of society. In the present scenario, the characteristics are important ones and are first three still prevalent among castes. The other three have lost ground due to certain laws and increased interaction among various castes. This research work has highlighted, among Muslims also there is a hierarchy within various biradaris. Sheikhs are at the top of hierarchy and Qureshi at the bottom. In other words, like the Hindus, there are upper, agrarian and subaltern biradaris among Muslims. The other major hierarchical division is that between Ajlaf and Asraf. A majority of Muslim respondents have pointed out that marriage is mostly solemnized within the same biradari. Further, like Hindus, the purity of a lineage is an important consideration in selecting a suitable match. As far as hereditary occupation is concerned, like castes among 237 Hindus, many biradaris among Muslims have names based on their hereditary occupation. biradari. Their hereditary musical instrument) and Take for occupation sing example, is to devotional the Dafali play Dafli songs at (a the mausoleum of local Sufi saints. Or for that matter, the Darzi biradari, their hereditary occupation is tailoring. Based on the above characteristics it can be argued that biradaris are near to castes, if not similar. Secondly, in both communities the traditional notion of hierarchy i.e., of upper, middle and lower castesfbiradaries do not hold ground. That is, every castejbiradari puts itself in the centre and based on the distance they categorise the 'other' castejbiradari as upper and lower. The position of castejbiradari in hierarchical order is no longer determined by the distance between that caste/biradari, and Brahmin caste and Sheikh biradari among Hindus and Muslims, respectively. This kind of categorization is most evident in interactional situations. For example, if a Kewat interacts either with an Ahir or with a Rajput, he would call both of those interactant to be from the upper caste. The reason is that despite Ahirs being from the so-called middle castes, they are considered higher in hierarchy to Kewat. Similarly, if the same Kewat interacts with a Viswakarma or with a Harijan, both of them would be categorized as 'lower' caste. Finally, despite the above assertion, the features of the caste and biradaris are very similar. They are clearly different though in at least one respect i.e. in the distribution of neighbours. In Chapter-11, it has been explained that spatial distribution of Tolas in Hindu dominated Samdaha is very 238 different than that of Mohallas of Muslim dominated Mani Kalan. The names of a majority of Tolas of Samdaha are castejbiradari based, but in Mani Kalan only a small minority of Mohallas have castejbiradari based names. This means that a majority of inhabitants of Tolas of Samdaha are from the castejbiradari after which the area is named, but this is not so for Mohallas of Mani Kalan. Moreover, there is some amount of spatial distance between any two Tolas. But the Mohallas of Mani Kalan are in a continuous whole. In such kind of spatial distribution, the neighbourhoods in both villages are very different. This is in the sense that, generally neighbours of Samdaha belong to the same castejbiradari. In Mani Kalan, however, the chances of neighbours being from same castejbiradari were very low except for the Harijan caste who were not part of mixed neighbourhoods. This means that unlike castes of Hindus, among the biradaris of Muslims there is less restriction on social interactions. In this regard, one can point out that both these villages have some members of 'other' communities i.e., Hindus in Mani Kalan and Muslims in Samdaha as well. Hence, neighbourhoods of both villages should have characteristics of both communities. However, it must be mentioned that the minority community in both villages make a conscious attempt to fit into the social system of the village which, to a large extent is determined by the predominant community. Limitations and Future Directions This research is based on the data collected from the two villages (Samdaha and Mani Kalan) of Jaunpur district of 239 eastern Uttar Pradesh. This is a micro study of Hindu-Muslim identity and it is difficult to generalize the findings at a larger (macro) level. Hence, future study in this area could examine Hindu-Muslims identity in urban contexts. The reason is in urban locations the immediate reality of the people are very different from that of rural areas. One example of this could be that in this study under category 'occupation' the primary focus is on agriculture and the interactions within agriculture. However, in urban areas given the varieties of occupations, an analysis of interaction for occupation would reveal a much complex process of identity construction and interaction among Hindus and Muslims. To generalize the findings of this study, it is imperative that in future such studies are carried out across the various regions of not only Uttar Pradesh, but across the country. This would not only provide a larger picture but also give us an estimate of the comparative dynamics of identity construction in different regions. This becomes particularly important in the light of the fact that each region has different cultural practices. As has been mentioned earlier also that lower class and subaltern castefbiradari from both villages migrate to cities in search of jobs. Many a times, such migrants from both communities stay at one location in the new place. It would be worth enquiring how migrants from both communities construct their identity in an urban setting. What kind of network they are able to activate and sustain. Further, in situations where upper castefbiradari are late migrants, how do they negotiate their identity in non-rural surroundings? 240 Annexure-I Cost Index of Assets Assets Tractor Pumping Set Thresher Land Tata 407 Grocery Store Shop of Other Goods Buffalo Cow A Pair of Ox Goat Gumti (Pan/Tea) Truck Jeep Total Low Cost 350000 20000 7000 250000 High Cost Total Cost 17500 300000 24500 550000 200000 250000 450000 40000 100000 140000 700000 241 Average Cost 350000 20000 12250 207500 400000 225000 Cost Index 0.15154 0.00866 0.00530 0.08984 0.17319 0.09742 70000 10000 7000 5000 800 2000 700000 300000 2309550 0.03031 0.00433 0.00303 0.00216 0.00035 0.00087 0.30309 0.12990 1.00000 Calculation of Value of Assets for village Samdaha Land Res.
