Description

The present volume describes the existing nature, forms, and dimensions of economic, political and social inequalities at a micro rural level and compares them with the Indian macrocosm of increasing inequality, with a view to reveal uneven facets of rural India. It will highlight a detailed appraisal of the ever-growing multidimensional inequalities in contemporary rural India in terms of a more synthetic perspective to explain the nature and dynamics of social inequalities. The book highlights how in rural society inequality is not only prevailing but it is being reinforced by many structural factors. The three dimensions of inequality, namely caste, class and power, do not exist in isolation, rather they are interconnected. As far as rural India is concerned, multi-facets of inequality are observable. Overall, the book provides a deep understanding of inequality prevailing at the grassroots level.
