dc.description.abstract | The study aims to investigate the relationship between the federation and village shalish.
Data were collected through qualitative method from federation members and the village
heads participated in shalish. Members were found successful in playing their role in
shalish. Inspiration and supports from some heads, spontaneous participation of other
members, and the presidents being a member of union parishad contributed to succeed in
shalish. Meanwhile, members became unsuccessful in shalish because of reverence of
heads, uninterested male members, impediment of family members, unwillingness of
sharing the incident among the members, hush money taken by the heads. Moreover, the
informal and peculiar social, economic and political bondage between heads and
federation members hampered to get the real justice. Few heads considered the federation
as benevolent organization for the poor, as it might bring some societal changes in
informal justice system in the village whereas others believed that it could not reach its
goal because of the anecdotal values and culture of the villagers. Some members were
ambitious about their success while others thought that they were poor, they had to spend
most of their time to earn their livelihood, so how they could partake in shalish.
However, the difficulties faced by the federation would continue yet they would be
successful if they had been duly supported by BRAC. | en_US |
