Unequal Worlds : Discrimination and Social Inequality in Modern India / edited by Vidhu Verma - 1st ed. - New Delhi : Oxford University Press , 2015. - xxxii, 423 p. ; 23 cm.
This interdisciplinary volume examines the multifaceted nature of social discrimination and systemic group disadvantages in modern India, focusing significantly on Dalit communities. By analyzing institutional frameworks, legal provisions, and social norms, the contributing essayists demonstrate how formal guarantees of equality are frequently undermined by structural exclusions. The text utilizes the conceptual lens of intersectionality to explore how traditional caste divides converge with newer social inequalities rooted in income, education, occupation, disability, and gender.
