An ethnographic film with supplementary written materials, this dissertation examines the subject formation processes of young males of the Gurjar caste group living in village Ghitorni in Delhi, India, in the context of large-scale acquisitions of village lands for building urban infrastructure. The dissertation is based on fieldwork conducted from September 2014 - August 2015. It primarily relies on participant observation and in-depth interviews with young men, oral history interviews with village elders, and archival research at the National Archives of India and the Delhi State Archives. The primary dissertation takes the form of a sensorial visual ethnography which showcases the nuances of gender role performance through physical embodiments and local dialects. Due to the sudden socioeconomic transformation, Gurjar youth are experiencing an intertwining precarity from a dispossession from land and the transformation of ideas about gender (masculinity in particular). Against the backdrop of spectacularized accounts of violence by these men, my work tries to illuminate these contemporary precarities by outlining the long history of structural violence in this community. In the process, I also try to excavate love in their relationships, especially brotherly love. To mark their attitudes to consumerism vis-a-vis their bodies, I coin the term aesthetic consumerism, a focus on aesthetics and external signifiers over previously held virtues like inner muscular strength.
