The study ‘Nomads: The politically marginalise segment of Pakistani society on the basis of ethnic prejudice’ was conducted in tehsil Dargai, district Malakand with the aim to find out the relative nature of social and political exclusion of nomadic communities, keeping in mind their conservative and ethnically vulnerable status in Pakistani society. The researchers aimed to elucidate nomadic groups’ political exclusion, as a relative phenomenon in the study area with ethnic prejudice and conservatism. However, nomads are ethnic minority groups in the study area and their ethnic marginality was tested through participation, access to the basic amenities and resources of society in comparison to that of the settled community. A sample size of 123 respondents out of 180 was selected through random sampling procedure. It can be seen that majority of the respondents (78.4%) agreed that ethnic prejudice is a leading factor for their marginalisation within society. Likewise, (87.6%) of the respondents reported that they were considered outsiders and strangers everywhere by the settled population. This form of latent abstraction decreases their access to the basic services of society. The study found that almost (80.4%) of sampled groups did not have access to potable water, electricity, health, and employment opportunities in the targeted area.

The objective of this paper is to focus on globalisation and social exclusion from a perspective from below. In this paper, an attempt has been made to enquire into the impact of globalisation on the marginalised groups, especially Dalits. On the other hand, social exclusion has been discussed as the process through which individuals or groups are wholly or partially excluded from their full participation in the society within which they live. In this context, we may broadly focus on two factors of interpretation: First, whether globalisation is accelerating opportunities or creating breach among people. Second, how the concept of social exclusion excludes individuals, groups or communities due to their social background. Being accepted as global and multi-dimensional concepts in social sciences; both globalisation and social exclusion have originated in the West, talks about social disparity among people.

Exclusion or marginalisation has generally been defined as the social process whereby something or someone is pushed to the edge of a group and accorded lesser importance. This is predominantly a social phenomenon by which a minority or sub-group is excluded, and their needs or desires ignored. Social exclusion refers to processes in which individuals or entire communities of people are systematically blocked from rights, opportunities and resources. Exclusion or marginalisation of various communities, especially various ethnic groups including the aboriginal communities, is considered to be a product of colonisation and as a result people at the margin lost their land, were forced into destitute areas, lost their sources of income and were excluded from the labour market. Additionally, marginal groups lost their culture and values through forced assimilation and lost their rights in society. In the context of exclusion or marginalisation of the communities, the objective of this paper is to explore the perceived economic and cultural exclusion of the Koch/Rajbansi community in the princely State of Cooch Behar. The Koch/Rajbansis constituted the most pre-dominant section of the local Hindu population in the Princely State of Cooch Behar. They were a socially homogenous community because there was no sub-caste among them. They have their own distinct culture totally different from the Brahmanical culture. The situation changed over the years with gradual political and cultural penetration of the British colonial authority in the Princely State of Cooch Behar. Consequently as it had happened in other areas of colonial India, a major cultural shift took place in the colonial endeavour to construct ‘the native’.The subverted identity crisis of the royal family of Cooch Behar, which was held by the Koch/Rajbansi populace as their cultural icon outdistanced them from their erstwhile cultural moorings. In this way the Rajbansi mass was culturally marginalised. Together with it the factor of land alienation caused by revenue reforms undertaken by the Cooch Behar government triggering non-Koch/Rajbansi migration in the Cooch Behar State had intensified the process of economic marginalisation of the Koch/Rajbansis. These immigrants got hold of a vast amount of land and gradually established their monopoly over the local administration. Many of the Koch/Rajbansi Jotedars were turned into sharecroppers in the lands that they once owned. Therefore, a complex dichotomous social order was created between the locals and the non-locals on socio-economic, ethnic and cultural grounds.

Probably nobody can deny the fact that country's educational system has been to a large extent a failure. One of the biggest problem is of uneven, unfair and inadequate provision of education. In order to solve these problems Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act came into effect on April 1, 2010 and hence started the contestation whether the act was really going to help the students to get their basic right of education and help in ridding the education system from longstanding barriers in the way to right to education or not? Present paper is an attempt to critically evaluate the act and tries to provide pros and cons of different provisions of the act. In doing this a brief historical context and basic framework of human rights approach to education is provided. It is argued that like many other acts the intentions of the act are noble, yet it is full of farcical, unworkable and contradictory provisions and there is a need for certain radical changes to ensure that children get their right to education in real sense. Furthermore the best option before the government to assure the right to education is to go for Common School System functioning through Neighbourhood Schools.
