Volume : III, Issue : III, April - 2013 INTERROGATING SOCIAL (GENDER) EXCLUSION AND SEARCHING FOR INCLUSIVITY: FROM HISTORY TO MODERN TIMES SANGEETA KRISHNA DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In the last couple of years there has been a spurt of growing interest in and
awareness about questions of social exclusion and inclusion. While the nature of
exclusion in India has centred around the caste system, other disadvantaged groups such
as tribals, women and poor have also suffered from similar disabilities. This opens up a
number of possibilities for future investigations. In the present work, I have focused on
exploration of the gendered nature of social exclusion. If we look at women today their
lives are located at the intersection of caste, class and patriarchy/ies. In many areas they
face exclusion, discriminations and remain on the margins. To understand (dalit) women
exclusion, marginalization and discrimination it is necessary to delineate both internal
and external (structural/institutional) factors that have bearing on their lives. The paper
wishes to interrogate conventional and historical writings on women and mainstream
portrayals of Dalit and discuss the contradictory Dalit and feminist perceptions of the
history. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : SANGEETA KRISHNA, (2013). INTERROGATING SOCIAL (GENDER) EXCLUSION AND SEARCHING FOR INCLUSIVITY: FROM HISTORY TO MODERN TIMES.
