The volume deals with social exclusion and discrimination of Scheduled Castes and issues involving class mobility, marginalisation and uneven development, development and related displacement in the context of democracy. The collection of essays delves into gender discrimination and sexual harassment in public places. With regional studies that bring out the differences and commonalities in the experience of exclusion in states like Manipur, Meghalaya, Assam and Andhra Pradesh, it unravels the societal processes through which social exclusion is constructed in India and the setting up and enforcing of exclusionary social practices vis-à-vis the poor. It looks towards adult education as a means of socially including tribal women in the mainstream.
