  • Table of Contents
  • In Pictures
  • This book discusses the various forms of social and economic exclusion (discrimination and marginalisation) that persist in contemporary India, and how they may be remedied.
  • It argues that a welfare state can be created by securing social, economic and political justice for the socially and educationally backward classes of citizens.
  • It argues that inclusive growth and human development can be achived only by ensuring equality of status and opportunity for the vulnerable sections of society.
  • It suggests affirmative action/positive discrimination—reservation of seats in education institutuions and reservation in jobs—that may be adopted to build a more inclusive society.
  • This proposition is examined with reference to nine excluded social categories—Dalits, Adivasis, subalterns, religious and linguistic minorities, women, migrants, the poor, and the disabled.
