520			_aThe Scheduled Castes live in poverty and they are concentrated in low paying menial occupation. There is a close relationship between caste and occupation. The caste system has not allowed SC workers to shift to more productive occupations. Their initial economic position and social status do not permit them to reach better standards in life through change of occupations, "Status of Scheduled Castes" analyses why the untouchables are backward and what prevents them from coming up in life. This book underlines the need for a change of the traditional occupation of the Scheduled Castes. The author gives valuable suggestions to shift these downtrodden to better occupations which will go a long way in transforming the society in India.
