IDSN database

IDSN has created an extensive new database on caste discrimination by storing hundreds of documents on the social bookmarking service, Delicious. The main link to the IDSN database is www.delicious.com/idsn.

Below we have listed the most significant search strings for our database under the main categories country/region, programme, theme and document type.

You can narrow your search further by combining two or more different subcategories (tags) – e.g. India, untouchability, news and (the year) 2011. The easiest way to do this is to add these tags one by one in the 'add a tag filter' bar on the IDSN Delicious page. A search string containing these four subcategories would look as follows:                           http://www.delicious.com/idsn/india+untouchability+news+2011
