Summary: While some think that social activists are a force to reckon with in view of their involvement in people's movements, others are of the view that Action Groups are a marginal phenomenon. These groups originated in the 19605 as a response to the chan::Jing political and economic situation. They were often viewed as an alternative favourable to the unorganised sectors, particularly the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, who were till then ignored by all including political parties. Have these hopes been belied or do social activists still have a future? Can they still become a third force as some hope? These questions are discussed in the present book.as part of the ongoing debate on people's movements, social change and political alliances. It is meant to be a contribution to the task of facilitating change in the country's soclo-economic structures that tend to marginalise the majority in order to transfer wealth and power to a small minority.
