Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Though the powerful contradictions are existed between social, economic and political system vs. the backward castes, the mobilization has got fragmented due to internal contradictions like heterogeneous character and social stratification, class differences and political accommodation of few backward castes elite to prevent alternative political platform and to marginalize the majority of backward classes. They often violently agitate for their legitimate share in economic opportunities, educational privileges and political power. Widespread collective mobilization centered around such interests has led to organized social movements with defined ideologies and leadership, which have brought significant structural and organizational changes in the societies from where they originate
