Caste-Based Exclusion is an edited volume that examines the multidimensional nature of caste-based discrimination and social exclusion in India. The book explores how caste continues to shape social, economic, political, and cultural inequalities, particularly affecting Dalits and other marginalized communities.

The contributors analyze issues such as social deprivation, marginalization, violence, discrimination, access to education, employment opportunities, and social justice. The volume provides theoretical perspectives as well as empirical studies to understand the persistence of caste-based exclusion in contemporary India.

The book is useful for students and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, Dalit studies, social policy, political science, and development studies.
