Marg inalization is a symbol that refers to processes by which individuals or groups are kept at or pushed beyond the edges of society. The term outsiders may be used to refer to those individuals or groups who are marg inalized. This research paper is an endeavour to study the health status of marginalised groups and commun ities -wo men, children, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, persons with disabilities, mig rants and also the health status of aged in India. The paper also aims to highlight the discrimination and explo itation of these marginalised groups especially in terms of their health. Further, study is carried out about how the rights of these marginalised groups are violated within the society. In India there are mu ltiple socio-economic disadvantages that members of part icular groups experience which limits their access to health and healthcare. So me of the pro minent factors on the basis of which indiv iduals belonging to marg inalised groups are discriminated in India, i.e., structural factors, age, disability, mobility and stigma that act as barriers to health and healthcare. So metimes each group faces multiple barriers due to their mu ltiple identities. For example, in a patriarchal society, disabled wo men face double discrimination of being a wo men and being disabled. Besides this there are certain groups in Indian society that are subject to discriminatory treat ment and feel marginalized. They need special attention to avoid explo itation. The rights of disabled and migrants have been violated and sometimes they are d iscriminated and med ical personnel are not ready to treat them because they are unable to pay such a huge amount for med icines. No proper attention has been given towards their health condition. Finally it can be said that the health status of these marginalised groups in India are very poor as compared to other sections of population. This paper is based on the secondary sources such as reports, journals, census, books, articles and online sources.
