Sociology for UPSC By Shekhar Dutt Sir

In the above context, can you refer to this:
The rise of platforms like Uber, Zomato, and Swiggy has created a new class of workers—gig workers—who work on short-term, flexible contracts without traditional job security.

Sociological Analysis
1.⁠ ⁠Precariat (Guy Standing): Gig workers are neither fully secure employees nor fully independent entrepreneurs. They live with income uncertainty, no benefits, and constant insecurity.
2.⁠ ⁠McDonaldization (George Ritzer): Gig work is based on speed, efficiency, predictability, and control. Human labour gets reduced to targets, timing, and performance metrics.
3.⁠ ⁠Alienation (Karl Marx): Workers often have little control over their work conditions and do repetitive labour only for survival, which creates distance from dignity and satisfaction in work.
4.⁠ ⁠Surveillance Society (Foucault-inspired): Every movement of the worker is tracked — location, speed, acceptance rate, cancellation, customer rating. This creates constant pressure.
5.⁠ ⁠Digital Taylorism: Just like factory work was once broken into small controlled tasks, platforms now do the same digitally through apps, data, and performance monitoring.
6.⁠ ⁠New Urban Working Class: Gig workers are becoming a new segment of the urban labour force, especially migrants and youth, struggling with insecurity in city life.

Doston, this one is an important theme you must cover for Sociology optional, it can come from either of the paper.

Gig Work and Platform Labour

We have seen some PYQs on the before
1.⁠ ⁠Trace the changing nature of organisation of work in capitalist society over the years. (17/I/6a/20)
2.⁠ ⁠Capitalism has brought increasing informalisation of work in society. Substantiate your answer. (20/I/3a/20)
3.⁠ ⁠The increasing importance of the tertiary sector has weakened the formal organization of work in recent times. Examine the statement. (15/I/7b/20).

Hegemony: How Society Defines What is ‘Normal’

News
Recent debates around the Transgender Persons (Amendment) Bill, 2026 and gender identity show how certain definitions of gender are being legally shaped and normalised.

Let’s analyse this news with Sociological perspective

Hegemony – Antonio Gramsci
• Hegemony reflects dominance through consent, where binary gender norms are accepted as “natural” rather than questioned.
• Law and institutions act as vehicles of hegemony, by defining and legitimising certain identities over others.
• Dominant groups shape what is considered “normal gender”, marginalising non-binary identities.
• These norms are internalised through socialisation (family, education, media), making power appear invisible.
• Emerging debates and resistance represent counter-hegemony, challenging dominant gender narratives.
