Marginalization results in having a low social status and not having equal access to education and other resources. The Adivasis have been marginalized as their forest-lands were taken over for development and they have been side-lined. The Muslims have been marginalized as they have different customs and traditions as compared to the majority of the citizens. Different communities have been marginalized for different reasons, yet all the communities that have been marginalized experience disadvantage, prejudice and powerlessness.
