520			_aIndia is passing through a rapid socio economic upheaval. The questions that need to be addressed in this context are: What is the nature of development? Who are the gainers and losers of development? What is the role of the state? What are the new concerns emerging in the country? The Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP), propounded by the World Bank and the IMF, was introduced in India in the 1990s. The package of macro-economic policies advocates the withdrawal of state involvement in the social sectors. Moreover, evidences suggest that this has produced adverse effects on marginalized sections. Bringing together activists and scholars from the diverse disciplines, this volume constitutes perhaps the first critical appraisal of the likely impact of the New Economic Reforms on marginal segments in general and dalits in particular. Packed with revealing empirical data this volume gives a comprehensive coverage to all the issues arising out of present process of globalization in India and the manner in which it affects the day-to-day life of the dalits. This stimulating volume will interest policy makers, administrators and all those working in the fields of development studies, sociology and dalis studies
