Question

“Often we discuss social exclusion and discrimination as though they pertain to differential economic resources alone.” How would you prove this statement false?

Answer 1

Social exclusion is not limited to economic inequality; people may face discrimination due to caste, religion, gender, ethnicity, language or disability even when they are economically secure. For example, a financially well-off woman may still face harassment in public spaces, and a middle-class Muslim or Dalit professional may be denied housing in certain neighbourhoods.
