Indian society, with its blend of ancient grandeur and modernity, faces significant social and gender inequalities, similar to many traditional societies around the world. This volume highlights these aspects of human life through empirical anthropological research conducted over the past four decades. In India, individuals cannot escape the inequalities stemming from gender, ethnic, and social hierarchies. Living in such a context often involves struggling to survive or maintain a higher status. This volume addresses these issues based on the empirical realities of life among various populations in different geographical regions of India while also considering their historical roots.
