S C's in HARYANA

Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana

Economic development influences social relation and dynamics including inter caste relations. But mere economic development without addressing caste hierarchical social order and varna mind set ,social discrimination continues to exist keeping some communities lag behind others in the process of empowerment and overall development. In terms of social development and social justice there are road blocks. The SC’s in Haryana are moving away from their traditional occupations. 47 % in urban areas and 40% in rural areas were employed in non agricultural sector. Migrant labour has been substantial in agriculture in recent years. New occupations have given S C’s better life and income but not the social equality as yet. The real question is how to develop a more humane Haryana where marginalized sections like SC’s, other marginalized sections, women and youth have a respectable place.
