About the Book
The book focuses on the Nation, State and Marginal People: Perspectives and Dimensions. This work is mainly the collection of articles. The broad objective of the book is to evolve a fresh understanding of the problems and to search the way to solve.
This study is trying to examine the educational, occupation, earnings, land holdings and also the poverty levels of different segments of the population with a special focus on the marginalised groups, such as women, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, Coolies, Persons with Disabilities, Homosexuality etc.
The authors have focussed on the problems like lack of opportunities; the society keeps them away from the mainstream, they have very few social networks and interaction— and these are particularly the lower castes or those constitute the ethnic groups in the society. Even after seventy-four years of our independence and the constitutional guarantees, many sections of people are not getting proper social justice. The urge of society very much needs to change the perception and prepared marginalised free society.
