Gender, caste and class: Understanding multiple marginalities of Indian Women
Authors

Abstract
Indian women are subjected to compounded
levels of marginalization that come as a combination of gender, caste, and
class. Affirmative actions and interventions in tumult regulations by the
constitution do not eliminate structural imbalances that influence the social,
economic, and cultural worlds of women impartially. This paper uses the
intersectional marginality to address the issue of how the combination of these
systems of oppression drives the differentiated experiences among women in
India. The aim is to examine the intersectionality of gender, caste hierarchy,
and class position in women (their living circumstances). The paper is a study
that assumes a qualitative and theoretical approach that relies on secondary
data, and argues that women cannot be marginalized under specific categories,
and concludes that policies and social justice need intersection-sensitive
frameworks.
