This research is based on case studies among male and female migrants in Delhi coming from four villages of Far West Nepal. The analysis focuses on selected aspects of the migrants&#039; daily lives, such as working and living conditions, management of loans and savings, and remittance transfer. It was found, that the whole migration process is mainly facilitated by transnational kin and friendship networks. To grasp the geographical and social dimensions of the migrant&#039;s lives an integrative approach in joining the sustainable livelihoods approach, Bourdieu&#039;s theory of practice, the concept of social capital and the concept of transnational migration was developed.

   Further results show, that the majority of the migrants are male. The unskilled migrants occupy a distinct niche, in which men have been working as watchmen and car cleaners for generations. The job market is highly organized since jobs are handed over and sold within networks. If wives of migrants are in Delhi for longer periods, they engage in housekeeping. For financial needs migrants established their own informal savings and credit associations. 

   Although migration is firstly seen as an opportunity by the migrants, it can as well perpetuate debt and dependency and entail that they remain migrants for their whole lives.</description></item><item rdf:about="http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/21c3e9617ca218ee5e65f36391645bc0c/pustakalaya"><title>Maya: der Leidensweg einer Kinderprostituierten aus Nepal</title><link>http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/21c3e9617ca218ee5e65f36391645bc0c/pustakalaya</link><dc:creator>pustakalaya</dc:creator><dc:date>2006-05-07T22:25:17+02:00</dc:date><dc:subject>indologica isembo sozialwesen </dc:subject><content:encoded>&lt;span class=&#034;authorEditorList&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;/author/Hetzel&#034;&gt;Harald Hetzel&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;J.H.W.

Flucht, weil ihr Mann sie schwer misshandelt. In Kathmandu gerät sie in die Fänge von Menschenhändlern und landet schließlich in einem der zahllosen Bordelle Kalkuttas. Ein erschütternder Bericht von Missbrauch, Demütigung und Tod.
Maya ist kein Einzelschicksal. In Nepal werden jedes Jahr 12.000 Mädchen verschleppt und von Menschenhändlern nach Indien verkauft, minderjährig zur Prostitution gezwungen und gefoltert, manche ermordet, wenn sie nicht mehr arbeiten können. Dubiose Schlepperbanden und Arbeitsvermittler haben in den entlegenen Bergregionen dieses Landes leichtes Spiel: Die Menschen sind gutgläubig, perspektivlos und auf jede Rupie angewiesen. Vier von zehn Prostituierten in Delhi, Kalkutta und Bombay stammen aus Nepal. Keine übersteht ihr Sklavendasein unversehrt. Maya durchlitt die Hölle. Wenige Monate, nachdem sie ihre Geschichte erzählt hatte, starb sie im Alter von 25 Jahren an Aids.</description></item><item rdf:about="http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cb226ec747b38029355ee69eb9ab7504/pustakalaya"><title>Freedom and destiny: gender, family, and popular culture in India</title><link>http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cb226ec747b38029355ee69eb9ab7504/pustakalaya</link><dc:creator>pustakalaya</dc:creator><dc:date>2006-05-01T23:43:26+02:00</dc:date><dc:subject>indologica isembo sozialwesen </dc:subject><content:encoded>&lt;span class=&#034;authorEditorList&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;/author/Uberoi&#034;&gt;Patricia Uberoi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oxford University Press, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi, &lt;/em&gt;(&lt;em&gt;2006&lt;/em&gt;)</content:encoded><taxo:topics><rdf:Bag><rdf:li rdf:resource="http://www.bibsonomy.org/tag/indologica"/><rdf:li rdf:resource="http://www.bibsonomy.org/tag/isembo"/><rdf:li rdf:resource="http://www.bibsonomy.org/tag/sozialwesen"/></rdf:Bag></taxo:topics><burst:publication><rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cb226ec747b38029355ee69eb9ab7504/pustakalaya"><owl:sameAs rdf:resource="http://www.bibsonomy.org/uri/bibtex/2cb226ec747b38029355ee69eb9ab7504/pustakalaya"/><rdf:type rdf:resource="http://swrc.ontoware.org/ontology#Book"/><owl:sameAs rdf:resource="http://indologica.blogg.de/eintrag.php?id=784"/><swrc:date>Mon May 01 23:43:26 CEST 2006</swrc:date><swrc:address>New Delhi</swrc:address><swrc:pages>309 S.</swrc:pages><swrc:publisher><swrc:Organization swrc:name="Oxford University Press"/></swrc:publisher><swrc:title>Freedom and destiny: gender, family, and popular culture in India </swrc:title><swrc:year>2006</swrc:year><swrc:keywords>indologica isembo sozialwesen </swrc:keywords><swrc:abstract>This volume of seven essays on themes of family and gender in Indian popular culture seeks to commend popular culture as an important resources for sociological insights into contemporary social issues and processes. Drawing its material from three popular media-&#039;calendar art&#039; (popular chromolithography), commercial &#039;Bollywood&#039; cinema and magazine romance fiction- the essays bring a gender-sensitive perspective to bear on the representation of the family, of childhood, of courtship and conjugality, of arranged and love marriage, of femininity and masculinity and of sexuality within and outside marriage, as well as on the wider dilemmas and dynamics of Indian modernity and nation-building.
   While Much has been written on the figure of the woman as icon of the national society and on the Hindu pantheon as a template for visualizing gender roles and relationship, the author also takes up here the iconization of the child and the family in the national imaginary, illustrating her arguments with stunning visuals from her personal collection of Indian calendar art.
   Freedom and Destiny explores the contradictions in the moral economy of Indian family life as these are projected in the contemporary popular media. Particularly salient is the tension between the expression of female desire and culturally normative expectations of feminine deportment. But the volume also addresses the insistent challenges of modernity in the domain of private life whereby for men and women alike, the ideals of individual autonomy and freedom of choice and action are seen to be constrained by a social ethic that privileges the value structure of the joint family over the individual needs and desires of its members and the lure of romance.
   Written over the last dozen years since the institutionalization of policies of economic liberalization in the early 1990s, and revised in the present context some of these pioneering essays have now become classics in their own right. By bringing them together the author underlines their essential thematic unity across several distinct genres of popular culture. The effort has been to achieve accessibility and to avoid sociological jargon, without sacrificing either disciplinary rigor or, for that matter, the underlying feminist standpoint.
