This paper aims to describe the social exclusion of Bihari Muslims of Moulavibazar district of Bangladesh who migrated from India. An attempt has been made to highlight their multidimensional aspects of vulnerability and day- to- day struggle for survival. Bihari Muslim people are among the migrants who came to Bangladesh in the period of partition in 1947. From that time they have been facing many difficulties, experiencing exclusion in the all spheres of their life and struggling hard for their survival. They are concentrated mostly in tea garden areas and struggling hard for their survival due to their impoverished economic condition and hostile social environment. They had to neglect every sphere of their life after coming to a new country where everyone dislikes them because they came from a Hindu originated country. Mainstream people always criticise them saying ‘Jala Muslim’. They rebuke, neglect, exclude and deprive them from every step of the privileged space. Mainstream people think Bihari people as a mean creature of God. The social status of Bihari people is very low in context to the mainstream. They do not give food to Bihari people in their dishes. Even the local Hindus do not allow them to touch their water pitch. They treat Bihari people as untouchables. At earlier Bihari people were not allowed to enter into the Mosque for prayer. Moreover when tube well and sanitary ring were provided from the tea garden the mainstreams were first selected. Bihari Muslim people are also excluded in the employment, education and health care delivery system.

An enclave economy like Tea plantations is a small world, which could be similar to the labour to their home environment yet blended with the local culture and traditions. Therefore the clousure of such plantations not only have severe impact on livelihood also limits the exploration of diversification of livelihood in the locality and leads to forced migration, or starvation and death if unable to find an alternative means to survive other than plantations. In the last few years the pivotal role of tea plantations in providing stable and sustainable livelihood to tribal and other communities has tremendously dwindled. Tea industry in West Bengal mainly Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling district (North Bengal) has been facing turbulence since 2001. The tea industry in general had to go through crisis emanating out of high competition, price wars in the global markets. This led to the retrenchment and lay-off of workers, and closure of several tea gardens in this region due to their inability to compete. A total of 22 gardens closed down during the years 2001–04, severely hitting the workforce specially women and brought many more gardens at the verge of closure. Te present paper attempts to learn, document and identify empirical evidences and experience of the women workers in tea gardens who lost their livelihood due to closure of the gardens in the Jalpaiguri district of North Bengal, with a special focus on the ramifications of the closure on their living and life. A total of four gardens were selected for the study out of the closed gardens in the district. The major emphasis of the research was on identifying the hardships caused to the women workers due to loss of livelihood resulting out of closure. The study included the size of the gardens; the work force; history of the plantations; process of the closure, its impact on emerging life situations of women workers; role of trade unions and functioning of Joint Management Committees in the closed gardens as major aspects of the analysis.

There is a close relationship between social ecology and social exclusion, although not rigorously examined by social scientists. The proposed article attempts in establishing a relationship between ecological conditions of the Kosi Command Area adversely affecting various social classes in the region under investigation and exclusion from the benefits resulted from state initiatives. Kosi is one of most notorious rivers in India. It is known for changing its course frequently. Changing course of the river has resulted into millions of hectares of land being degraded, resulting into uncultivable for agricultural purposes. The proposed article examines various agrarian classes adversely affected by degradation of land due to change of the course of the Kosi river. Besides, it also highlights unprecedented floods due to overflow of water from Nepal for which Government of India has no control. These floods have devastated millions of people and billions of rupees in terms of inundation of houses and other assets and damages to crops in the fields. A large chunk of cultivators coming from lower socio-economic background as well as low castes are excluded from benefitting from the little resources available at their disposal. Grihasts as well as petty cultivators are excluded from optimising their major resources at their disposal due to fragile ecological conditions intensified by natural calamities like floods. Social Scientists must learn from these devastations from the perspectives of the disaster management for empowerment of the marginalised sections of the society.

This paper reveals how mainstream society is organized around the politics of exclusion. An analysis of the primary institutional forces that shape social hierarchies shows that these are all based on the politics of non-recognition and exclusion. Not only do these systems exist as one-dimensional forms of subordination, but they also combine to create a larger, self-reinforcing and interlinking system of oppression. The main argument is that once domination is accepted on the basis of one arbitrary characteristic—race, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, or class— then it is easier to accept it also on the basis of another. On the other hand, if one form of domination is questioned, then it is likely that other forms are also questioned. Even before the world could debate the consequences of exclusion, Ambedkar had realised that the politics of exclusion plays a vital role in a non-materialist discourse of human and citizenship rights, democracy, recognition and respect. Conversely, he vied for a redistributive egalitarian discourse, which does not represent a denial of the material conditions that lie at the heart of marginalization. Rather, it offers an opportunity to transform the politics of marginalization into one that addresses questions of power as well as participatory processes. In this paper I have made an attempt to develop an analytical framework in which the politics of marginalization and exclusion can be both understood and forged. I have done this through the application of a number of concepts in social and political theory and finally posit that at issue are not just the promotion of an ethics of recognition, but also the redistribution of power and an egalitarian discourse.
