It is strange and shocking too that centuries old sufferings and deprivations of the weaker sections of Indian society could not be properly and legitimately attended to by social scientists. Weaker Sections: The Psycho-Social Perspective systematically presents the conditions of weaker sections, viz. The Scheduled Castes and Tribes, weakest of the weakers, the scavengers, Minorities, Women, Children and Aged People in their psycho-social perspective. The socioeconomic, social and psychological hardships and sufferings faced by them, however, remained an untold fact. The book posits the information of strong and weak points of these sections based on empirical studies, and critical and objective views by a galaxy of psychologists, social reformers, sociologists, historians and many others. Such information will be of immense use not only to planners and policy makers in the planning of remedial measures to be taken for the upliftment of weaker sections but also to the social scientists, researchers and social workers.
