Deprivation and Inequality of Dalits in India: A Study of Rajasthan

This study underlines that land is an important variable influencing the accessibility to different types of occupations and the possession of household assets. Inequality in the accessibility to salaried employment can be traced to several other factors such as distribution of land, non-availability of consumer durables and other teaching aids like computers. It also notes that the inequality among SCs and STs in relation to non-SCs and non-STs are systemic and that their initial low physical and human capital base places them perpetually at a low economic status.
