| 520 | |a Post-Mandal, the demand for reservation by various groups has become a consistent feature of Indian politics. Yet, the focus remains on caste, with little attention paid to the under-representation of religious minorities. In a one-of-its-kind study, Zoya Hasan examines the debates and policies behind contrasting strategies of inclusion for lower casts and interrogates the multiple and overlapping dimensions of deprivation. Hasan argues that in view of the comparative evidence available, presently excluded and disadvantaged groups should also qualify for affirmative action. This book will interest students and scholars of Indian politics, sociology, and history. | ||
