It is a process by which certain groups are systematically put into disadvantageous position and are discriminated against on the basis of their ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, caste, gender, age, disability, migrant status or place of domicile. In a country like India which is highly caste based and where all kinds of differentiation is cropped with the birth of an individual into certain caste; caste becomes one of the basic yardstick for social exclusion and discrimination. This kind of caste based exclusion has led to adverse effect on the health status of socially excluded persons. | | Keywords : | | |
