“…British imperial expansion brought with it heightened contact with non-Europeans, many of whom were non-white and were viewed as being quite different from the Anglo-Saxon coloniser. "Scientific" theories emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century, which attempted to explain such human difference and behaviour in terms of biological or genetic characteristics and branded these "others" as inferior and subordinate (Rex 1982;Rich 1990;Bonilla-Silva 1996;Forster et al 2000;James 2001). 7 The dominance of this aspect of "otherness" has meant that Empire has been portrayed by successive historians and writers as a hierarchical construct defined by race.…”

“…Similarly, in Europe, racial divisions have resurfaced not only in public life [ 8 ] but also in commercial sports [ 9 ]. While the resurgence of white supremacy in the US and Europe is alarming, ethnic conflicts have been equally contentious in Africa [ 10 ], Australia [ 11 ], and Asia [ 12 ], often escalating into ‘hate crimes’ [ 13 ].…”

What does the demographic profile of convicts tell us about social equity in India?

Social equity is a critical component of social justice and is measured in multiple ways. Conventionally, researchers use literacy levels, workforce participation, political participation and representation, corporate presence, and demographic parity as indicators of social and economic equity. We add law enforcement outcomes to this literature by examining the demographic profiles of convicts in prisons in India for each state and compare it with that of the population of the respective state. To test whether entrenched social inequities have permeated into the law enforcement system, we use three indicators of social identity–religion, caste, and domicile–to create a social equity index (SEI). This is a composite index combining caste, religion and domicile similar in method to the Human Development Index which combines income, education and health. Our indicators are not considered in other popular development indices and is a conceptual innovation. Our paper innovates by combining prison data and census data at the state level over the two latest census rounds (2001 and 2011). We use a spatial panel analysis as well as a distributional dynamics approach to test for bias and transitions over time at the state level. We find that entrenched social hierarchies are mirrored in conviction outcomes and that social identities influence law enforcement. In contrast to earlier studies, we find that states that are conventionally considered to perform poorly in terms of economic and human development have done better in terms of social equity than economically advanced states.
