Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores the concept of social exclusion, particularly focusing on marginalized groups in India such as Dalits, tribal communities, women, the disabled, and religious minorities. It examines the systemic and persistent challenges these groups face, despite India's economic growth and development. The authors analyze the political, cultural, and economic barriers that contribute to social exclusion and assess various policies aimed at fostering inclusivity. Through case studies and research, the book highlights the need for effective inclusive policies to address the disparities and promote social justice. The intended audience includes scholars, policymakers, and those interested in social issues and human rights. |
