The document discusses social exclusion in India. Social exclusion refers to individuals or groups being denied facilities, benefits, and opportunities that others have access to, due to discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, or other attributes. In India, the major socially excluded groups are Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The main consequence of social exclusion is poverty, as excluded groups face barriers to resources and opportunities. Studies show that states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, which have high populations of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes respectively, also have high levels of poverty.
