Reviews

"""Shome examines the much-analysed problem of Indian poverty with fresh eyes by marrying Amartya Sen's capability approach to systematic and persistent caste-based marginalization and exclusion. The book shows how, for Dalits who encounter stigma and discrimination, 'opportunity is actually stolen by the happenstance of birth which is then followed by exclusion'."" Ashwini Deshpande, Ashoka University"
