This book `Racial Discrimination` looks at the theme of `race,` `racism` and `racial discrimination` from socio-economic and political perspectives. Racial discrimination is treating people differently through a process of social division into categories not necessarily related to races. It differentiates between individuals on the basis of real and perceived racial differences, and has been identified by the government policy in several countries of the world. Scientific racism of Europe divided mankind into three `great races`, Caucasoid (white), Mongoloid and Negroid (black) in accordance with their own world-view. The population of the Indian subcontinent, however, was problematic to classify under this scheme. They were assumed to be a mixture of an Indigenous and Dravidian race, tentatively with an Australoid grouping of the Caucasoid race, but some authors also assumed Mongolic admixture. Therefore, Indian racism presents a complicated mixture of all major types. The author has tried to discuss the theme in a lucid manner. The work is an invaluable source of information for the readers seeking to explore the burning issue.ISBN-9788182203785
