Social exclusion is the process which systematically blocked or denied people to full access to various rights, opportunities and resources that are normally available to members of a different group. Marginalisation is a sort of powerlessness and exclusion experienced by a group, resulting from an inequality of control of resources and power structures within society and broadly refers to the set of processes through which some individuals and groups face systematic disadvantages while interacting with other dominant social, political and economic institutions and resulted into political under-representation, poor access to legal systems and a denial of public services. Ethnic groups living in remote valleys of the Himalayan region have generally conserved their traditional cultural identities though they have been marginalized since time memorial and even today in 21st century, they are facing social exclusion and deprived off modern amenities of life and compelled to live in inhuman conditions. Session is an attempt to highlight issues and attempt of tribal communities to preserve their cultural identities inspite of all odds of life and expecting primary data based socio-anthropological submissions as well as from other perspectives also.
