Ali, Zahid. "Layers of Subalternity and Scheduled Castes Hindu Women: A Case Study of District Ghotki." Progressive Research Journal of Arts & Humanities (PRJAH) 5, no. 1 (March 18, 2023): 30–40. http://dx.doi.org/10.51872/prjah.vol5.iss1.231.

Abstract:

Scheduled Castes Hindu women of Ghotki district are facing layers and layers of subalternity in the male dominate district. They are facing social, economic, political and religious discriminations simultaneously. Overall, caste-based discrimination against Scheduled Castes has become norm of the society. Nobody is bothered to look into their life striking subalternity matters. As religious minority in the district, scheduled caste Hindu women are suffering layers of discrimination in an Islamic society, dominated by 99 percent Muslims with additional burden of conversion. The concept of othering can be best illustrated in the sense of Scheduled Caste women; the practice of ‘untouchability is rampant in the society. In other words, they are being considered as Achhoot in the society. As a result, Scheduled Castes often live-in separate colonies, are being compelled to eat food in separate crockery, and are not allowed to sit with Muslims and upper castes Hindus as well. So, in a sense, the Scheduled Castes women face systematic oppression in both public and private spheres; first in Muslim dominated district, second in the higher caste Hindu community and third in the male dominated structures of their own families. At the bottom of social hierarchy, schedule castes women are not only deprived of social assets but also frequently suffer from the violation of personal dignity and freedom through sexual abuse, alienation, abduction and force conversion and marriages. They are facing class bound subalternity, age bound subalternity, gendered bound subalternity, religion bound Subalternity, and political bound subalternity simultaneously.

Abstract:

Scheduled Castes (SC) is a group of deprived castes in India. Traditionally, people belongs to these castes are socio-economically exploited and untouchables. The present study analyses the role of education in decision of inter-caste marriages for social cohesion. The relationship between education of bride, parents and parents-in-law with number of inter-caste marriages was calculated using data compiled by India Human Development Survey (2011). The study shows no direct and robust relationship between education and inter-caste marriages. Educated brides lead for inter-caste marriages and educated parents support in this decision, but negative relationship was observed for education of parents-in-law with number of inter-caste marriages. Educated parents-in-law show no acceptance for inter-caste marriages of their shoots. The freedom of choice to bride show key role in formation of inter-case marriages which shows wide state-to-state variations. Education improves the capabilities of a person to deicide their own. Therefore, we have large scope to create bases for inter-caste marriages and social change through enlightenment and education.

Abstract:

Schedule Caste Women had some basic problems and the different kinds of gender inequality were displayed in mortality, natality, basic facility, special opportunity professions, ownership, and household matters. Education can pave the way for an overall development of individuals and for the society. Female literacy is not only an end itself, but also serves as a catalyst for overall performance, in other segments too. Since women comprised the majority of the Schedule caste population in India. Among the Schedule Caste women, Arundhatiyar women population were below the poverty line and are very often in situations of extreme poverty, given the harsh realities of intra-household and social discrimination. this research paper mainly concentrates on status, survival and current dilemma of Scheduled Caste Arundhatiar women in Ranipet district of Tamil Nadu.

For writing this research paper null hypothecation are taken and critical approach and study done. In this present scenario Right to Equality under Indian Constitution are given Art. 14 to 18.Every person is equal under Indian Constitution and he should be treated equally and non-discrimination on the basis of religion, caste, race, place of birth. But state government can make special provision for women and children, scheduled caste, scheduled tribes and backward classes. In Indian constitution there is some provision for upliftment for Scheduled tribe, scheduled caste, backward classes, women and children so there is flexibility in Right to Equality provision. This is very important articles of Indian Constitution.

Abstract:

The present article focuses on a comparative study of the male-female disparity in literacy of two districts Purulia and North 24 Parganas in West Bengal, India. The Census data of 2011 has been used in this regard. The literacy rate has been calculated for the population above six-year, and Sopher’s Disparity index (1974) has been applied to measure the male-female disparity in literacy. The study examines the block-level male-female disparity in literacy among non-Schedule Caste (none-SC ST), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Scheduled Tribes (ST). The study highlights that North 24 Parganas is far ahead in terms of literacy than Purulia district. However, there is wide variation in block-level male-female disparity in literacy among the three-caste groups in both the districts. In block-level, the Bundwan block of Purulia district and Barasat-I and Deganga block of North 24 Parganas district occupies a remarkable place in terms of the male-female disparity in literacy among each three-caste group. Conversely, Jhalda-II block in Purulia and Hingalganj block of North 24 Parganas is the most backward block in terms of the male-female disparity in literacy among the all-caste groups. Although the Central and the State Government have taken various schemes to enhance literacy rates and eliminated the male-female disparity in education, more suitable steps need to be followed to implement appropriate measures towards education, especially for the women and other marginalised sections of the society.

Abstract:

Purpose In general, the return from participation in MNREGA will be highest for those women whose mobility and social interaction is least impeded by conservative social norms. However, if any intervention enhances knowledge base, or challenges traditional norms of gender, then return from that intervention may be highest for those women impede most by conservative social norms. It may be interpreted as non-monotonic effect of restrictedness across caste and religion. The purpose of this paper is to examine non-monotonicity hypothesis of social restrictedness for the intervention MNREGA. Design/methodology/approach Using primary data from three districts of West Bengal, the paper has tried to see whether there exists any non-monotonic effect of restrictedness on household’s “expenditure on consumption,” “expenditure on temptation good,” “expenditure on women’s health” and “expenditure on children’s education and health” across castes and religion. The sample is relatively homogeneous in terms of socio economic status, but differs in affiliation to castes and religion. Findings As a result of participating the labor force through MNREGA, the contribution of women to household earnings increases, which may potentially increase their bargaining power within the household. The conventional notion is that women who are least fettered by social norms should get maximum benefits of participation in MNREGA. However, the analysis shows that women of upper caste (UC) community have been able to exercise the highest level of agency in allocating household resources compared to the women of scheduled caste community. It substantiates the non-monotonicity of restrictedness of social norms across castes and religions. Agency of Muslim women has not increased significantly compared to the UC women. Research limitations/implications The study suffers from usual limitations of sampling. Originality/value There is hardly any study deciphering MNREGA from the perspective of caste, religion and gender.

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Domestic violence (DV) in India is one of the most alarming issues that is experienced by over one-third (36.6%) of non-Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe (non SC/ST) women and nearly half (48%) of Scheduled Caste (SC) women (ages 15-49). DV and women’s empowerment are historically interlinked. The patriarchy embedded within social-cultural norms along with economic capability deprivation takes away the freedom of SC women to enjoy bodily safety in public and private spaces. Despite Constitutional measures, SC women continue to face violence-induced capability deprivation due to discrimination at three levels: caste, class, and gender. DV against SC women is an understudied area; there are scarcely any studies on DV in this population using national data. This research used data from the National Family Health Survey-III 2005-2006 (N = 12,069-SC women and N = 45,390- non-SC/ST women). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to examine DV trends amongst SC and non-SC/ST women. Contrary to the study’s hypothesis, having better empowerment (household-autonomy, healthcare decision-making, sexual-autonomy) increased the likelihood of women experiencing DV. However, the hypothesis relating to economic empowerment and autonomy was supported showing a reduced likelihood of DV. SC women were empowered when they had the capability to earn wages; however, they had no instrumental freedom to spend their own earnings. Similarly, empowerment indicators were shown to impact the likelihood of justifying the violence shaping women’s gender norms and attitudes. When compared with non-SC/ST, SC women who have economic and healthcare autonomy had lower odds of justifying DV. Exposure to DV in childhood, early marriage, and husbands’ alcohol abuse significantly enhanced the likelihood of DV. Across most of the indicators, the intensity of DV amongst SC women was relatively higher than non-SC/ST women. The findings emphasize the need for social work practice and policy to focus not only on empowering women in terms on economic and material well-being through ownership, but also assessing if this ownership have instrumental value in practice without the threat of DV. Future research can enhance understanding of DV by examining social exclusion, socio-cultural patriarchy, and the intersectionality of caste, class, gender, and other individualist and community factors.

Abstract:

AbstractThis chapter documents the growth and evolution of local self-government in India. Despite some major obstacles, the past 75 years have seen the gradual institutionalisation of local government. The historic 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts of 1992 set out, for the first time, to provide local bodies within the country’s federal system with certain mandatory structures and powers, but these have not been fully effectuated. Although India has experienced increasing levels of participation from marginalised groups (including women and Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes), active resistance by state-level elites as well as feudal and bureaucratic leadership, in addition to a range of structural challenges, has significantly impeded the deepening of decentralisation and self-governance in the country.

Abstract:

The practice of ‘marrying' young girls of lower castes to gods and goddesses is one of the oldest cultural practices in India. This practice is called the devadasi system in which minor girls belonging to the Scheduled Castes are sexually exploited by temple priests and other high caste men in the name of religion. The term ‘devadasi' is a Sanskrit word which means ‘female slave of God.' The devadasi system is also seen as religious sanctioned prostitution in India. Note that, despite the practice being abolished by various state legislations in India, there are approximately more than 48,000 devadasis in the country according to the data by the National Commission for Women, New Delhi. Further, as per the National Human Rights Commission, the state of Andhra Pradesh, India alone had over 25,000 devadasis in 2015 with girls as young as 12 years old who were being pushed into prostitution in the nearby states of Karnataka and Maharashtra. This chapter therefore aims to highlight the reasons behind this social evil considering the broader interconnections between law and religion.

Abstract Women’s Studies Entered The courtroom in the 1986 case of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Sears, Roebuck and Company. The Economic Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accused Sears of sex discrimination by channeling female workers into salaried sales jobs that paid less and were less prestigious than those that included a commission as part of compensation. Sears did not dispute the lack of women in commission sales jobs but denied that the disparity was due to discriminatory practices. Sears argued that the kinds of jobs that included commissions involved traditionally male products, such as automotive supplies, plumbing, and furnaces, and often required evening or weekend work schedules. According to Sears, women lacked interest in these kinds of jobs. To the consternation of many, scholars of women’s history testified on both sides of the case, using historical information to interpret the statistical disparities in Sears’s workforce in sharply contrasting ways.

Abstract:

Abstract At 70.3 per cent female literacy rate, it certainly appears that progress has been made in educating women in India. However, gaps continue to persist; nearly 30 per cent of women in the country are not literate as yet, disparities amongst states on female literacy is stark, female literacy rates for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) is an area of concern, and in particular a sharp decline is observed in female enrolment at secondary and higher-secondary levels of education. Poverty, entrenched and pervasive patriarchy, geographical remoteness, unforeseen crisis, poor governance, and access and quality related issues combine to adversely impact girl’s education. The paper suggests select pathways to strengthen current efforts in educating girls. This includes the need to work intensively with girls in order to: address the internalized patriarchy and empower them to pursue their life goals; address patriarchy by working with community institutions and boys; work in a comprehensive and consistent manner with marginalized groups like SC, ST, and Muslims; provide a safe and supportive environment; ensure quality and equity at all levels; and mount concerted efforts to enable girls to transit and succeed in secondary and higher-secondary schooling. It is equally imperative that a general environment of gender equality is created, facilitating women’s participation in civic and economic life.

Abstract This chapter presents the case of a woman scheduled for total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis who has severe baseline anxiety, sleep disorders, catastrophizing, and depression and overuses opioids for migraine with chronic headache. This case illustrates the risk factors for chronic postsurgical pain, including neuropathic postsurgical pain. Risk factors include preoperative pain, postoperative pain, and opioid use but also many psychological factors, particularly state or trait anxiety, catastrophizing, and depression, as well as lack of cognitive flexibility. Patients with these risk factors should be carefully assessed, undergo psychotherapy before and/or after surgery, and be carefully managed for their pain as soon as possible after surgery to avoid long-term pain chronicization.

Abstract:

Introduction: Oncogenetics advances allow to identifying the relationship between many genes and breast cancer (BC). The PALB2 (partner and localizer of BRCA2) gene is intimately involved in DNA damage response, and although very rare, heterozygous mutations are highly penetrant for BC. There are not enough studies to define the ideal follow-up and management of the patients with BC. Case Report: A 31-year-old female, G0P0A0, presents complaining of a lump in her right breast with no family history of cancer. A breast ultrasound was performed and revealed BI-RADS3. Core biopsy revealed a grade 3 ductal infiltrate carcinoma, with micropapillary features. Immunohistochemistry testing detected estrogen receptor (100%), progesterone receptor (3%), negative HER2 (−), and Ki67 (proliferation marker) (15%). The patient presented with a breast mass (8 cm × 8 cm), nipple inversion, and clinically was N1. Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast showed right axillary lymph node enlargement of 1.1´1.6 cm, and retroareolar and lateral quadrants of the right breast distortions. Because of diffuse skin thickening and nipple retraction, the disease was classified as cT4N1. She received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (weekly paclitaxel followed by dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) with concomitant ovarian suppression. Genetic testing for ovarian cancer and BC found the pathogenic variant c.2164_2168del, p. (Met723Valfs*21), in heterozygosity in the PALB2 gene and interpreted based on the clinical picture and the classification of variants of the American College of Medical Genetics. A right mastectomy with pathologic complete response in the breast and a micrometastasis node 1.5 mm/10 (ypT0N1mic) was conducted. Prophylactic left adenomastectomy was negative for malignancy. In the adjuvant setting, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy with ovarian suppression and aromatase inhibitor for 5 years were scheduled. Conclusion: The critical role of PALB2 in DNA repair increases the risk for BC and contralateral BCs. There is no evidence of adverse outcomes or toxicity with the use of radiotherapy in PALB2 carriers. Locoregional management and prophylactic decisions should be made on the basis of conventional clinicopathologic factors and international guidelines recommendations.

Abstract:

Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a disease with an autosomal dominant inheritance of high penetrance and was originally described in 1969. The definitive diagnosis is based on the identification of a pathogenic variant in the TP53 gene. Birch and Chompret and classical models were used as the clinical criteria to identify individuals who are the candidates for molecular screening. It is responsible for about 1% of hereditary breast cancers and is related to other neoplasms, the most common sarcomas, leukemias, and adrenal carcinoma. Among the differential diagnoses, we can consider pathogenic variants of BRCA1/BRCA2 and Lynch syndrome. The behavior of cancer is usually similar to that of patients without Li-Fraumeni syndrome except for the age of early onset. Screening for the breast cancer with an annual magnetic resonance is recommended in women from the age of 20, colon cancer with colonoscopy every 2 or 5 years from the age of 25, and osteosarcoma and soft-tissue tumor with full-body resonance at an early age. Interventions are recommended for patients with a family history or individuals with a reported mutation. Mastectomy is generally recommended for women with breast cancer due to the risks of a second primary breast cancer or a second radiation-induced cancer. The risk of contralateral breast cancer in patients with TP53 diagnosed under 35 years of age is approximately 4%–7% per year. In this scenario, we bring a case report of a young female patient with synchronous tumors of maxillary osteosarcoma and breast cancer to study the approach, prevention, and guidance in these cases. N.O.B., 21 years old, single, born in São Paulo, nonparturient, mother’s death due to breast cancer at age 36, and sister’s death due to neuroblastoma at age 2. At the first medical appointment in June 2021, she complained of the presence of a nodule in her left breast persisting for 2 years and reported a palate lesion present for 1 month and with rapid growth, associated with existing oral cavity deformity. On the breast ultrasound examination performed in June 2021, a solid, hypoechogenic, irregular, microlobulated, nonparallel to skin was revealed, measuring 1.5×1.2×1.3 cm at 10 h of the left breast (BI-RADS classification®: 5). The pathological report from a directed biopsy of the nodule showed an invasive carcinoma of nonspecial histological type, estrogen receptor 80%, progesterone receptor 100%, Her2 negative, and Ki67 60% — clinical staging cT1N0. The examination of her palate lesions reported high histological osteosarcoma — cT1N0M0. Considering the double-tumor diagnosis plus the highly aggressive lesion of the patient’s palate, the team chooses to start the treatment with partial maxillectomy and bilateral infrastructure surgery, tracheostomy, and reconstruction with a microsurgical flap of the right fibula in July 2021. Later in October 2021, the patient’s treatment was followed by a combination of left adenomastectomy, left sentinel lymph node biopsy, and reconstruction with bilateral prosthesis. Due to family and personal history, she went through genetic testing for pathogenic mutation on the TP53 gene. Fertility preservation was performed with oocyte freezing. As an adjuvant treatment, it is scheduled for four cycles of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide. As prophylactic measures, the patient is expected for an adenectomy in the contralateral breast and to follow up with clinical examinations twice a year, as well as both mammography and MRI once a year.

Abstract:

Introduction: Progression-free survival in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer was significantly improved after administering dual block (DB) associated with docetaxel when compared with trastuzumab and docetaxel. This case report is about a patient with malignant breast cancer — HER2 positive — and metastatic lung and liver disease. Objective: The aim of this study is to report the positive response to the oncologic treatment. Case Report: A 43-year-old woman was diagnosed in 2011 with malignant breast cancer in early stage, i.e., cT1N0M0, with acute liver lesion not detected by tomography. She underwent upfront surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy with AC-TH schedule plus 1 year of Herceptin, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The tumor was developed again in 2015 through physical examinations, revealing metastatic lung and liver disease. She underwent first-line chemotherapy with docetaxel, Herceptin, and pertuzumab with DB maintenance. After additional physical examination, she presented an excellent response to treatment, remaining on maintenance with DB since October 2015 with an exceptional response to oncologic therapy. Discussion: It was observed an excellent response to treatment. Despite the poor prognosis, the patient presented a complete clinical improvement, and the treatment ensured much longer than average survival and an outstanding quality of life. Conclusion: Using docetaxel, Herceptin, and pertuzumab in patients with breast cancer, HER2 positivity improved the median overall survival of the patient; this confirms, albeit as an isolated case, the data from the Cleopatra study.

Abstract:

Introduction: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is responsible for about 1% of hereditary breast cancers (BC). We present a case report of a young woman with synchronous osteosarcoma and BC. Case Report: NOB, 23 years old. Mother died with BC at 36 years old and sister died due to neuroblastoma at 2 years old. She was referred in 2021 for a nodule in her left breast and the ultrasound results showed an irregular nodule of 1.5×1.2×1.3 cm BI-RADS®5 and anatomopathological invasive carcinoma of non-special histological type (NST), estrogen receptor 80%, progesterone receptor 100%, Her2 negative, and Ki67 60% cT1N0. It was associated with a lesion in the alveolar mucosa with bleeding and deformity of the oral cavity with anatomopathological high histological osteosarcoma-T1N0. Surgical treatment was performed: maxillectomy of meso and bilateral infrastructure+tracheostomy+reconstruction with microsurgical flap of the fibula and, then, left adenomastectomy+sentinel lymph node biopsy+prosthesis reconstruction. Surgical anatomopathological results in central/medullary high-grade conventional osteosarcoma chondroblasts 7.3×6.1×3.9 cm, free surgical margins and four cervical lymph nodes free of neoplastic involvement, and invasive breast carcinoma NST with medullary characteristics 1.8×1.3 cm, free margins, and absence of metastasis in two sentinel lymph nodes –pT1pN0. Genetic test resulted in pathogenic mutation TP53 gene, position chr17:7.674.257, consequence p.Tyr236HisENST00000269305. Adjuvant chemotherapy was docetaxel+cyclophosphamide. Two years after treatment, she is taking tamoxifen, scheduled for contralateral adenomastectomy, and maintains high-risk follow-up. There is no signal of any cancer disease. Discussion: LFS is an autosomal dominant inheritance of high penetrance. The diagnosis is based on the identification of a pathogenic variant in the TP53 gene. It is related to several tumors diagnosed at an early age. BC is the most common cancer and affects 27–31% of patients. Osteosarcoma corresponds to 3%–16% of cases, usually occurring before the age of 30 years. The prognosis of patients does not differ from those with sporadic cancer. They must be monitored by a multidisciplinary team, screening with annual whole body/breast MRI and mammography, and colonoscopy every 5 years. Genetic counseling is essential.

Abstract:

Introduction: Homozygous mutations in the HFE gene are among the causes of iron overload worldwide. Several reports suggest an increased risk of breast cancer (BC) in these patients, although there are controversial evidences on this subject. There is some discussion on the tolerance to some BC adjuvant therapies in these patients regarding aspects like the potential cardiotoxicities. Information on adjuvant hormone therapy in this setting is very limited. Case report: A 65-year- -old woman was treated with segmental resection in the left breast and selective biopsy of the sentinel node in April 2019. Pathology showed an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of 1.2 cm, grade 1, with two negative sentinel nodes. Estrogen receptor was 100%, progesterone receptor was 20%, Her2/neu was 1+, and Ki-67 was 15%. A previous diagnosis of hemochromatosis was done in October 2018 with a high transferrin saturation and a genetic analysis disclosing a homozygous C282Y mutation in the HFE gene. Regular phlebotomies every 3 months were scheduled for the treatment of the iron overload. Several points were considered for the selection of the adjuvant hormone therapy. Articular damage is a common complication of hemochromatosis. In fact, a hip prosthesis was implanted in 2018 for our patient with severe coxarthrosis. There was some risk of further articular impairment with aromatase inhibitors (AI). Furthermore, AI may have an androgenic effect, with some effect on the red cell mass. On the contrary, tamoxifen may increase the risk of porphyria crises in patients with hemochromatosis. We selected letrozole as adjuvant therapy, with good articular tolerance and fair hematological control after nearly 3 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Although homozygous HFE mutations may increase the risk of some adverse events related to BC adjuvant hormone therapy, the tolerance to letrozole in our patients has been very good, without raising further concerns.

Abstract:

The BCR Corridors at QU are notorious for wayfinding difficulties of end-users in the building complex. These navigation problems appear to arise due to the repetitive similarity of individual parts in its modular design, highly localized impediments to readability and visibility such as shading device screens and temporary installations, and the relationship of those different parts composing the collective whole of the BCR Corridors to the immediate surrounding context of the QU campus (Figure 1). The purpose of the “Complexity and Use in Building Evaluation” research project (CUBE2: QUST-2-CENG-2019-12) is to build on the research success of the post-occupancy cluster in the first demonstration project (CUBE1: QUST-2-CENG-2018-9). It includes continuing to develop a detailed post-occupancy dataset of movement and space use in buildings at QU. The goal is to contribute positively to future design refinements, alterations, and design of new university buildings at QU. We want to help create a world-class center of education and research where space use, interaction, and innovation are tactically ‘woven’ into the design and planning of the campus at various scales of the built environment. In the CUBE1 study, Major et al. (2019) were able to graphically illustrate building program/use and movement/space use patterns. It included quantifying the relationship between movement and spatial layout, and the significance of other end-user activities such as sitting and interacting in the common areas of the QU Women’s Engineering Building. It also included identifying adaptive re-use of classrooms and storage spaces for laboratory and office uses, leading to a shortage of storage spaces in the building. There was a consistent relationship (R^2=0.68, p < 0.001) between sitting and interacting unrelated to accessibility or metric area, i.e., the availability of seating was the dominant factor for casual encounter, mostly of students. Finally, there was a weak but consistent relationship (R^2=0.38, p < 0.001) between spatial layout and movement flows using space syntax modeling when allowing for the strongly programmatic differences (classrooms versus faculty offices) in different wings of the building (Major et al., 2019) (Figure 2). The post-occupancy evaluation findings in the CUBE1 project were largely consistent with previous results of space syntax research over the last 30 years for generative layouts such as office buildings, colleges, and research laboratories. Those results include the generative role of spatial layout for movement and casual encounter in buildings, the prescriptive effects of strong programmatic aspects (in this case, classroom location and course schedules) in causing some spaces to over-perform/underperform for some types of uses, most usually movement, and the singular importance for the provision of seating to facilitate consistent and robust use of spaces whether at the building or urban level (Hillier and Penn, 1991; Hillier, 1996; Hillier et al., 1996; Major et al., 2019; Sailer et al., 2016).

Abstract:

The change through grassroots democratic processes in the Indian political system is the result of a growing conviction that the big government cannot achieve growth and development in a society without people's direct participation and initiative. The decentralized political institutions have been more participatory and inclusive ensuring equality of political opportunity. Social exclusion in India is not a new phenomenon. History bears witness to exclusion of social groups on the bases of caste, class, gender and religion. Most notable is the category of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Women who were denied the access and control over economic and social opportunities as a result they were relegated to the categories of excluded groups. It is true that the problems of the excluded classes were addressed by the state through the enactment of anti-discriminatory laws and policies to foster their social inclusion and empowerment. Despite these provisions, exclusion and discrimination of these excluded groups continued. Therefore, there was a need to address issues of ‘inclusion’ in a more direct manner. Madhya Pradesh has made a big headway in the working for the inclusion of these excluded groups. The leadership role played by the under privileged, poor and the marginalized people of the society at the grassroots level is indeed remarkable because two decade earlier these people were excluded from public life and political participation for them was a distant dream. Against this backdrop, the paper attempts to unfold the changes that have taken place in the rural power structure after 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act. To what extent the decentralized political institutions have been successful in the inclusion of the marginalized section of the society in the state of Madhya Pradesh [India].
