Abstract

Their fall from poise, started in the 18th century during the British colonial rule They lived on the fringes of Indian Society and faced discrimination in workplaces, jobs, public places and services such as health and education. As members of the marginalized and socially excluded sector, they were always at the receiving end of negative behaviour and attitude. This unacceptability by the public, limited their social contributions, resulting in low self-confidence and self-respect, which consequently isolated them from the society.
