THE LAWWAY WITH LAWYERS JOURNAL VOLUME:-15 ISSUE NO:- 15 , SEPTEMBER 20 , 2024 ISSN (ONLINE):- 2584-1106 Website: www.the lawway with lawyers.com Email: thelawwaywithelawyers@gmail.com Authored By :-Madhavi Sharma Marginal Community: not a Homogenous Group ABSTRACT Human rights are not only about power or privilege held by the public. These rights and dignity are crucial for a peaceful, sustainable, and just world. There should be upliftment for this particular section of the group. By focusing on and improving marginalized communities, the invisible will become visible in law practice and legal education. Marginal communities can’t be considered a homogeneous group in today’s world, as there is a need for a certain level of necessary support for them. In the light of today’s era, one nation should also focus on issues related to sexual and reproductive rights as well as human rights like sex education in school curriculum, period poverty, and sexual violence in conflict zones that are related to women and their welfare. Child rights are also a major concern, as digitization has enhanced children’s learning but also exploited their innocence. Safeguarding children’s privacy and safety is crucial, requiring robust measures like data protection policies and age-appropriate online content. This community also includes scheduled castes and tribes, who require development and empowerment. Inclusive and participatory processes allow us to give voice to marginalized people and strengthen them by uplifting them. Marginalization is a very important concept within sociology, political science, social psychology, and other fields of study that attempt to understand social inequalities and injustices. As there should be justice in social, economic, and political matters and equality of status of opportunity among them all, this group needs more focus. Keywords: Marginal communities, upliftment, sexual and reproductive rights, child rights, injustice, inequality. 1 INTRODUCTION To be human and not feel less human, there are rights for the public in society. Human rights are not only about power and the privileges held by the public. These rights and dignity are crucial for a peaceful and just world. By providing voice to this marginal group, not to shout but to assert that through an inclusive and participatory process, we will uplift and strengthen them in a true sense. Marginalization is a very important concern within many inter disciplinary fields like sociology, political science, social psychology, and other fields of study that attempt to understand and describe certain inequalities and injustices with which they are dealing in Indian society. Sociology has many relationships with history, political science, economics, philosophy, anthropology, psychology, ethics, and jurisprudence. Sociology, being the mother of all social sciences and with a sociological lens of vision to critically examine and understand law, will take the direction towards better social change and social control with a comprehensive understanding of law and society in India. As there should be justice in social, economic, and political matters and equality of status and opportunity among them all, this group needs more focus. REVIEW OF LITERATURE PROBLEMS OF MARGINALIZED GROUPS IN INDIA: A STUDY: (Prof. A. K. Paricha Emeritus Fellow, Political Science Berhampur University), 2018 JETIR July 2018, Volume 5, Issue 7, (ISSN-2349-5162), In this paper it has been concluded that marginalised groups are defined as those who are subject to unfair treatment or are, relative to other age groups or sections of society, more dependent on others and therefore find it difficult to maintain their subsistence on their own and protect their rights. Besides this, certain groups in society are also subject to discriminatory treatment and feel marginalized. They need special attention to avoid exploitation. In India the women, children, 2 scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, persons with disabilities, migrants and aged are regarded as marginalised or vulnerable groups. These people are socially, economically, politically and legally ignored and excluded in Indian society. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES IN INDIA : (Dr M Rajashekarappa, Rathnnava K Hadimani, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, S.J.M.V B.A.J.S.S ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, RANEBENNUR RAJARAJESHWARI WOMENS COLLEGE, RANEBENNUR, INDIA), 2023 IJCRT Volume 11, Issue 9 September 2023 | ISSN: 2320-2882, It is concluded in this paper as India continues to evolve and develop, it is imperative that the nation’s progress is inclusive and benefits all its citizens. The social and economic empowerment of marginalized communities is not only a matter of justice but also a fundamental prerequisite for India’s growth and development as a vibrant and inclusive democracy. Achieving this goal will require ongoing collaboration among governments, civil society organizations, and the international community, with the shared vision of a more equitable and just India for all of its people. Education of the Marginalized; In the Context of Policy Initiatives for Universalisation of Elementary Education: Dr.M.N.Mohamedunni Alias Musthafa* Rini E StephenVol. 9 Issue 7, July , 2019, ISSN: 2249-2496 , This paper attempt to state that Although India has already made significant strides in the task of expanding schooling facilities for all children, considering the existing disparities, a multifaceted endeavor is required to make a balance between quality and quantity to ensure its benefits available to all sections of society living in different regions. This should be an integral part of policy interventions for promoting social justice in society. Educational inequality takes different forms in different places which in turn results in the decrease in opportunities for children with low economic background, girls, ethnic, linguistic and socially marginalized group and children with disabilities and special needs. So integrating all the children irrespective of the above-mentioned barriers should be the prime objective of the country. 3 OBJECTIVES ∙ To analyze and evaluate the provisions relating to different groups in marginal communities ∙ Evaluating the rights and realities of marginalized groups. ∙ To explore multifaceted challenges such as poverty, education, healthcare, and other issues facing marginalized communities. ∙ To critically examine the laws, regulations, and rules available for the protection of this group of marginal communities.
