This book is a candid expression of the status of social justice in India. The minorities are more vulnerable to the social injustice as they lack political force and suffer acute poverty. It is in this sense book attempts to bring out all problems and paradoxes of the minorities. Their plight for social equality after independence has been a long dream. Along with criticism and sarcasm the Govt. of India’s initiations are provided in details to bring awareness among the communities.
