Question

notes on marginalization of Adivasi people ​

Answer 1

Answer:

To be marginalised is to be forced to occupy the sides or fringes and not to be at the centre of things. In the social environment too, groups of people or communities are being excluded. Reasons for marginalisation-different languages, follow different customs, belong to different religious groups from the majority community, they are poor, considered to be of ‘low’ social status and viewed as being less human than others. Chapter 7 of CBSE Class 8 Civics will help the students to understand these concepts well. The best source to revise the subject will include the CBSE Notes Class 8 Civics Chapter 7-Understanding Marginalisation.

Marginalised groups are viewed with hostility and fear. This sense of difference and exclusion leads the communities to not have access to resources and opportunities and unable to assert their rights, thus leading them to experience a sense of disadvantage and powerlessness vis-a-vis more powerful and dominant sections of society who own land, are wealthy, better educated and politically powerful. Thus, marginalisation is seldom experienced in one sphere. Economic, social, cultural and political factors work together to make certain groups in society feel marginalised.
