Description
Summary:The most essential feature of India today is its huge urbanization. Migration, integration, and adaptation each played an integral part in the development of Indian culture. As people are relocating to cities and towns, it is essential to build an understanding of how cities will grow inclusionary. Against this background, the study explores that India's marginalized communities’ exclusion from the country's increasing urban extension, is based on religion. The study narrates that Muslim marginalization peculiarly forms spatialized Muslim groups across ethnic locations concentrated in specific parts of the cities. It is intended to focus on how socio-spatial segregation reinforces the making and unmaking of the social structure. Conceptually, the work approaches how individuals and groups are included or excluded in urban transitions. The findings of this study help demonstrate “spatiality” as an essential feature of the living pattern with the need to strengthen the social and legislative measures.
