The story of development and social change in India has a complex history influenced by colonisation, the freedom movement, national planning, and liberalisation and globalisation which penetrated almost all spheres of social life. Its impact has been hugely different for various class, caste, gender, and ethnic-religious groups. And, in response, the search for a just, equitable and tolerant society has moved from purely economic to social and now to socio-ecological approaches.
