“…Dalits in modern India are still facing constant social comparison from the upper caste because of social stratification. The various socio-economic, cultural, and structural discriminations and disempowerments, influence the identification of Dalits in Indian society to expand the notion of caste under lower castes [33]. The Dalits, who have suffered discrimination for generations and whose socioeconomic status is perpetually marginalised [34].…”

“…The Kilvenmani incident is inextricably linked to politics, gender, and caste issues, making it more than just a class conflict (Kanagasabai, 2014). Caste influences people's daily lives and is viewed as a structural problem in society, affecting the socio-economic status and government entitlements for the poor and marginalized, resulting in Structural Violence (Pankaj, 2019;Wessler, 2020).…”

Violence remains one of modern society’s most pressing global public health issues. As a result, the current study’s objective is to examine the text, The Gypsy Goddess, in the concept of Structural Violence, which is one of the most lethal forms of violence, from a broader perspective in terms of political, economic, gender and health aspects. The methodology of the study incorporates a documentary text, The Gypsy Goddess by Meena Kandasamy, which aids with the illustrations of actual records and a survey of the victims of the Kilvenmani massacre, which happened in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, in which poor agricultural peasants were burned alive by wealthy landlords. The study’s major findings offer a comprehensive look at the physical and psychological causes and consequences of underlying Structural Violence processes worldwide with reference to the select text. According to the text, the study’s findings suggest that structural violence contributing factors are multifaceted and systemic. Besides, it reveals that people’s collective efforts, combined with modified legal interventions, can help combat Structural Violence by creating awareness and providing impoverished communities with adequate services and resources.

“…Certain aspects of caste identity, such as caste-based social marginalisation and the practice of untouchability, are still practised in today's Muslim-dominated communities in Pakistan and Bangladesh. [1] Hindu holy writings, as well as traditional Hindu texts and laws, have set standards and ethics for life, culture, religion, and belief. As a result, societal inequalities such as untouchability have become canonical.…”

“…Although precolonial culture appeared to be more adaptable, caste-based social exclusion had existed for as long as history records, and economic marginalisation was inextricably linked to it. [1] People throughout the world are talking about marginalized groups' issues, including their social, ethnic, economic, and cultural concerns. Marginality, in all of its forms, is a serious global problem that must be addressed.…”

Abstract: Religion is a force under which we understand the framework of social exclusion or integration across the world. The growing impact of religion on peoplesâ€™ lives globally has seen a massive resurgence of newly imposed guidelines, rules, and regulations in societies. It has been a great impact on social conditioning, both demographically and psychographically. For an increasing majority of the global population, religion has powerfully anchored forms of identity, meaning, community, and purpose. And the same religion, through cultural roots, has created newer forms of marginalization across the societies and nations. All over the world nowadays people are discussing the problems of marginalized groups -their social, ethnic, economic, and cultural problems. Marginality with all aspects is indeed a major problem to be reckoned with in the world. By and large, most of the marginalized groups constitute minorities religious, ethnic, linguistic, or otherwise- in different countries. There are sub-cultures in mainstream cultures or religions. Invariably they are impoverished people constituting o minority groups. They suffer from economic, social, or political impoverishment and find themselves estranged from this mainstream. Their marginality may vary in degree, extent, or intensity. Most countries and cultures have empowered groups at one pole and impoverished groups at the other and between the two, there are graded levels of power and poverty. This paper discusses the correlation between religion, culture, and the process of marginalization.
