Caste-based exclusion is a complex phenomenon encapsulating multi-dimensional, multifaceted and cascading ramifications for those on whom it is meted out. Caste in India has not only framed the social and economic structure of Indian society and its people, but also has been one of the most callous means of exclusion in India. Since times immemorial, those placed at the bottom of caste hierarchy have suffered the worst. They are excluded among the excluded. The process of discrimination needs a holistic understanding to appreciate the graffiti and the gravity of marginalization and deprivation in everyday lives and relations. The contemporary discourses on caste-based exclusion have so far focussed on understanding the problem from the outside and above perspective. This volume provides views on perspectives from the inside and below and attempts to span full circle of prevalence, magnitude and structure of isolation experienced by Dalits in our society and also suggests approaches for amendments. Eleven chapters contributed by senior scholars from different spheres of humanities are representative of the state of Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Haryana and Maharashtra. The multidimensional nature of this book is expected to help the readers to understand the wider spectrum of exclusion in a detailed manner. The volume will be a helpful resource material for the students and researchers of sociology, minority studies and development studies.(jacket).

In past decades, the inequality within most advanced and emerging markets and developing countries has increased. A considerable share of the world population still lives in poverty; world income and wealth are very unequally distributed. Inequality and poverty are increasing due to economic growth, globalisation, and changes in technology, labour markets, social protection mechanisms, and demography. Inequality and poverty are complex variables and the gap between the rich and the poor will continue to worsen without a policy or structural intervention. Inequality is the unique feature of Indian social system which continues in contemporary society. The hierarchies based on caste, class, race, gender, location, language, occupation, physical condition and differential access to resources as well as majority of groups denial of basic human rights of resources leads to unequal distribution of wealth, power and status which has created inequality in the society. Inequality is the major challenge to Indian society. The present book includes papers on multidisciplinary aspects on inequality and poverty to enhance and share knowledge about various aspects of the development of weaker sections. The trends indicate that the poor and deprived people are far from the mainstream and development in terms of their education, health, empowerment, equality, and other elements of development in the era of globalisation. There is an urgent need to identify the groups that are facing inequality and poverty, then think about the inclusive policy for their overall development. The book will help in policy formulation for upliftment of the poor people in society.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Caste is a cultural category that has crippled the Indian society for centuries. Caste discrimination is deeply rooted in Indian social life. The Constitution of India provides protection to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes against caste discrimination. Scores of laws and rules have been formulated for preventive action and their protection but they all seem to be inadequate. Even after sixty-six years of Independence, caste discrimination still continues in its various forms. Backward caste people are victims of caste discrimination in social, economic, educational, legal and cultural fields. The social institutions have been changing in India, but the caste system has not changed yet in modern India because of the mindset of majority of Indians. This book will be helpful to understand the facts and different forms of caste discrimination prevailing in India today. As a matter of fact, caste discrimination is not only found in Hindu religion but in Islam and Christianity too. In the present volume, there are twelve research articles contributed by eminent academicians, experts and researchers who are representative of the states of Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra. These articles focus on myriad issues related with caste-based discrimination that are deeply institutionalized in India. (jacket).

Caste-based marginalization is one of the most pressing human rights issues in India, because a major proportion of lower castes and Dalits are still dependent on others for their livelihood. This collection of articles clearly explains how the caste has been taking lead to create marginality in Indian society and how the present caste system has deliberately denied the social, economic, educational, political, moral and legal rights of these marginal groups. Covering subaltern history, this volume emphasizes the need for the right-thinking people, including the government and policymakers, to stay positive despite the negativity and acrimony prevailing in the Indian society and work towards bringing positive changes in the society to bring back the marginalized to the mainstream life. Owing to the paucity of literature on the marginal community, this volume is a small effort to project the plight of the marginalized communities in the Indian context. It brings useful knowledge to teachers, researchers and students, in sociology and other social science subjects to improve their knowledge and promote awareness among the general public about the plight of the marginalized. It further calls for social workers and development planners to work more effectively in developing and implementing governmental initiatives and programmes that seek to empower the marginalized, including Dalits and Adivasis.
