Development Of Scheduled Caste

The Indian Society Is Based On Caste System Which Is, In Fact, A Two-Tier Construction I.E. Upper Caste And Lower Caste. The Caste System Alienated A Larger Part Of Our Society From The Mainstream. The Division Of Society According To Privileges Enjoyed By The People Paints Carefully The Picture Of Social Exploitation Of A Community By Another Community. The Present Edited Book Is An Attempt To Describe Different Development Aspects Of Scheduled Caste. Different Aspects Such As Discrimination And Inequality, Well-Being Of Rural Women, Income Inequality, Contribution Of Some Social Reformers In The Nation-Making, Development And Empowerment, Disadvantaged Migrants, Primary Education, Constitutional Safeguards, Literacy, Political Reservation And The Role Of Scheduled Caste Women In Decision-Making Have Well Been Documented By Social Scientists. This Is A Timely Publication In The Sense That It Has Presented Some Thought-Provoking Papers Relevant For Understanding The Issue Of Reservation Especially For The Most Disadvantaged In The Community. It Cannot Be Denied That In A Country Like Ours Some Form Of Affirmative Action Is Unavoidable To Eradicate Various Forms Of Social, Cultural And Economic Backwardness.
