 We have studied how Tribal’s and Muslims have been marginalised.

 Through powerless, they have fought, protested and struggled against being

excluded.
 They have attempted to overcome their situation by strategies like

(A) – Religious solace

(B) – Armed struggle
(C) – Self improvement

(D) – Education
(E) – Economic upliftment

 Adivasis, Dalits, Muslims, women and other marginal groups argue that
simply by being citizens of democratic country, they posses equal rights that

must be respected.
 Many of them look up to the Constitution to address their concerns.

Invoking Fundamental Rights -:
 The Constitution lays down principles that make our society democratic.

These are defined in the Fundamental Rights, These rights are available

to all Indians equally.
 The marginalised have drawn upon the Fundamental Rights in two ways –

(I) – By insisting on their Fundamental Rights they have forced the
government to recognize the injustices done to them.

(II) – They have insisted that the government enforce these laws.
