Abstract

Post-colonial India projected itself as a horizon of liberty, equality and fraternity. It is obviously true that India offers these privileges to its citizens. But how many of them can have the accessibility of such socialization and democratization is a pertinent question. Most of the population enjoys these multilayered political and sociological liberties from where the minority erased. The negligible section of the society includes Dalits, tribal people, transgenders, sexual workers, slum dwellers, diseased people, and victims of natural calamities etc. Do they possess least amount of rights to live in their native society is a question to ponder on.
