Marginalization is a multidimensional, multicausal, historical phenomenon. In Indian society, there are many marginal communities which are victims of the prevailing social milieu. Besides Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women, this includes, rural poor, manual workers in unorganized sectors, sex workers, transgenders, blue-collar workers, old age people, child labourers, migrant population, urban poor, slum-dwellers, differently-abled persons and others in the category of religious and linguistic minority groups. These communities are given very low position in social strata and are subjected to all types of exploitation, discrimination, disparities, oppression, violence, civil rights violation, ill-treatment and deprivations. This volume is a collection of articles on the marginal communities covering different perspectives of their issues, problems and challenges. All contributors have focused on common thinking on marginalized communities because the nation cannot achieve the target of inclusive development without the development of marginal communities.

About this title

Synopsis

Marginalization, a multifaceted, long-standing issue, affects numerous communities in India. Beyond Scheduled Castes, Tribes, and women, it encompasses rural poor, unorganized sector workers, sex workers, transgenders, blue-collar workers, elderly, child laborers, migrants, urban poor, slum-dwellers, disabled individuals, and religious/linguistic minorities. These groups face low social status, exploitation, discrimination, inequality, oppression, violence, rights violations, mistreatment, and deprivations. This book offers articles exploring these communities' challenges from various angles, emphasizing the need for their development for inclusive national progress.
