Abstract

This article examines the Indian situation across the States and social category wise including STs, SCs, OBCs, Others and all groups considering some feasible indicators used in terms of asset inequalities such as land ownership, operational holdings, value of assets, average asset value, average amount of debt and incidence of indebtedness, employment (worker population ratio of various social groups), poverty trends and consumption inequalities. Data on different social groups are gathered from NSS and other published sources. It analyses increasing inequalities-which is a point of growing concern in the South Asian region particularly in India. In India, these social groups are adversely affected by social or economic factors that limit their abilities and opportunities available to them.
