ASM SOLUTION

CHAPTER: UNDERTSANDING MARGINALIZATION

1) Discuss the socio-economic challenges faced by the Adivasi community in India.


 Adivasis also known as original inhabitants of India have been seen as distinct
community from the mainstream.
 As a result they are stereotyped as primitive, exotic and colourful.
 They are blamed for not being advanced clinging to old beliefs and practices.
 Their isolation from the mainstream society has put them at economic
disadvantage in terms of education and job opportunities.
 Deforestation during colonial times, multipurpose projects, militarisation and
govt policy of reserving forest to preserve wildlife has caused their massive
displacement.
 This has resulted them opting for odd jobs in the cities with low pay and poor
living standards.
2) How does the marginalization of religious minorities affect the unity and diversity of
India?
 Marginalization of religious minorities lead to economic deprivation and
social exclusion.
 Due to which minorities may feel alienated and insecure.
 At times alienation deepens the divisions in the society encouraging conflicts.
 Conflicts on religious lines can take ugly forms of physical violence or riots
undermining unity and diversity.

3) Explain how education can play a role in addressing the marginalization of specific
communities in India.
 Education enables individuals and communities to make progress.
 It empowers citizens to have better prospects of accessing resources and good
job opportunities.
 Economic upliftment helps marginalized to address other social and political
issues.
 Thus reducing their sense of insecurity and alienation.
 Economic development is necessary condition for addressing marginalization
which can only be achieved through education.

4) How does social inequality lead to economic inequality?


 Social inequality means being excluded and segregated from the main stream
society.
 Communities at the fringe of society feel discriminated and insecure leading to
their isolation.
 These conditions affect their chances of having equal chances of good
education and economic opportunities.
 As a result they live in poor conditions indicated by their minimum
consumption of electricity, school and health care facilities.
 Poor in a developing country will suffer vulnerability and disadvantage.

5)Adivasis today as somewhat marginal and powerless communities (3)

 In the pre- colonial world, they were traditionally ranged hunter- gatherers and
nomads and lived by shifting agriculture and also cultivating in one place.
 For the past 200 years Adivasis have been increasingly forced through economic
changes, forest policies and political force applied by the State and private industry to
migrate to lives as workers in plantations, at construction sites, in industries and as
domestic workers.
 For the first time in history, they do not control or have much direct access to the
forest territories.

1. “ Minorities often experience socio-economic marginalization” Explain how

 According to 2011 Census, Muslims are 14.2 percent of India's population and are
considered to be a marginalized community because of their having comparatively
lower status of socio-economic development.
 The statistics reveal that Muslims have least literacy, lowest consumption of basic
amenities, minimal presence in administrative jobs.
 Sachar Committee in 2005 brought out backwardness of the community highlighting
their development as poor as SC and ST.

 Economic and social marginalisation experienced by Muslims has other dimensions


as well. Like other minorities, Muslim customs and practices are sometimes quite
distinct from what is seen as the mainstream.
 Some – not all – Muslims may wear a burqa, sport a long beard, wear a fez, and these
become ways to identify all Muslims.
 Because of this, they tend to be identified differently and some people think they are
not like the ‘rest of us’ due to which they are often found in ghettos.
