As a comprehensive study of various manifestations of social exclusion and efforts made by the state to address them, it examines different facets of the problem with conviction and care. The volumes analyses in detail social exclusion and inclusive policies with reference to nine excluded social categories in India - Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, religious and linguistic minorities, women, migrants, the poor and the disabled and makes a strong case for category-wise inclusion policy in India. This volume will be indispensable for students and scholars of sociology, anthropology and public policy. It will also be of interest for policymakers and general readers who want to understand the challenges in the way of securing socio-economic justice for the vulnerable sections of Indian society.
