Gender, Human Rights and Environment

The book employs an interdisciplinary approach to the study of pertinent social issues. An analysis is made of the conditions of unequal socio-economic existence and the struggles against exploitation in the context of traditional hierarchical structures of caste, class, gender and ethnicity. It gives an enhanced understanding of the Indian social reality and the emerging social processes. Divided into three sections–Gender, Human Rights and Environment–the book also brings out an interconnection between them and presents a cross-comparative analysis. It would elicit interest of the academicians as well as those appearing for the competitive examinations. An effort is made to sharpen the skills of the students so as to enable them to understand the social milieu from a critical standpoint. It will serve as a valuable reference source for all those concerned with the study of political science, sociology and environment.
