This handbook critically examines the three concepts of exclusion,
inequality and stigma and their interrelationship in the Indian
context. Divided into five parts, the volume deals with the issues
of exclusion, inequality, gender discrimination, health and
disability, and assault and violence. It discusses important
topical themes such as caste and social exclusion in rural labour
markets, impact of poverty and unemployment, discrimination in
education and literacy, income inequality and financial inclusion,
social security of street vendors, women social entrepreneurs,
rural-urban digital divide, workplace inequality, women
trafficking, acid attacks, inter-caste marriages, honour killings,
health care and sanitation, discrimination faced by those with
disabilities, and regional disparities in India. The book traces
rising socio-economic inequality and discrimination along with the
severe lack of access to resources and opportunities, redressal
instruments, legal provisions and implementation challenges, while
also looking at deep-rooted causes responsible for their
persistence in society. With emphasis on affirmative action,
systemic mechanisms, and the role of state and citizens in bridging
gaps, the volume presents several policies and strategies for
development. It combines wide-ranging empirical case studies backed
by relevant theoretical frameworks to map out a new agenda for
research on socio-economic inequality in India with important
implications for public policy. Comprehensive and first of its
kind, this handbook will serve as a key reference to scholars,
researchers and teachers of exclusion and discrimination studies,
social justice, political economy, sociology, anthropology,
economics, political science, development studies, education and
public administration. It will also be useful to policymakers,
bureaucrats, civil society activists, non-governmental
organisations and social entrepreneurs in the development sector,
in addition to those interested in third world studies, developing
economies and the global south.
