Chapter 7 Understanding Marginalization

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Social Science Civics Chapter 7 Understanding


Marginalization

Question 1
Write in your own words two or more sentences of what you understand by the word
‘marginalization’.
Solution:
Marginalisation means the communities which are put at the margins of economic and cultural
development. These communities are devoid of any changes or advancement which other people
enjoy in modem times.

Question 2
List two reasons why Adivasis are becoming increasingly marginalised.
Solution:
The development of forests robbed the Adivasis of their natural territory and livelihood and
turned them into marginal and powerless communities.

The Adivasis are portrayed negatively as exotic, primitive and backward people and are
represented through colourful costumes and headgears. This has led to the marginalization of this
community in modern India.

Question 3
Write one reason why you think the Constitution’s safeguards to protect minority communities
are very important?
Solution:
Constitutional safeguards are important because these communities are backward and are lacking
at educational, social, and economic levels. To give them equal status in society these safeguards
are required. For the progress of a nation, it is necessary that all parts of society should progress.

Question 4
Re-read the section on Minorities and Marginalisation. What do you understand by the term
minority?
Solution:
The term minority is most commonly used to refer to communities that are numerically small in
relation to the rest of the population.The Indian Constitution provides safeguards to religious and
linguistic minorities as part of its Fundamental Rights. It ensures that minorities are not
discriminated against and that they do not face any disadvantage.

Question 7
Would you agree with the statement that economic and social marginalisation are interlinked?
Why?
Solution:
Yes, economic and social marginalization is interlinked.

1. Dalits and tribals were considered a lower class of society.

 They are living in separate areas of villages. Tribals are living in remote areas.
 They were not getting a proper education, so not good jobs.
2. When they do not get opportunities they remain economically weak and do not get an
education and this circle continues.
