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.  aDalits Social conditions  aDiscrimination  aMarginality, Social India  aSocial stratification
