About the Book
This festschrift, dedicated to Professor K.S. Chalam, brings together highly specialized essays that focus on the socio-economic transformation of marginal communities in southern India. The volume includes analytical essays on the history and socio-economic development of Dalits, tribes, and other occupational communities. It offers an in-depth look at these social categories, reflecting on their economic development and the processes of social change over time.
Professor Chalam, a trained economist, has specialized in broad themes like economics of education, political economy, public economics, and Dravidian studies. Over four decades, he has been a pioneering voice on the intersection of education and the disprivileged groups in Indian society, contributing extensively to the debate on these issues. The essays in this volume embody the interdisciplinary approach that Professor Chalam championed, drawing from economics, education, sociology, and history to examine the relationship between education and marginalized communities.
