This book, a second edition, includes new data from the
2010 Census of India and NSS reports on consumer expenditure
(2011-12), health and education (2014) to examine poverty in
China and India, and how it connects with minorities. Poverty has
generally become less acute in both China and India, thanks to an
impressively rapid growth especially between 2010 and 2015 when
the rest of the world including the US and the EU slowed down
following the economic recession of 2008. But the issues of
income and non-income inequalities (especially malnutrition in
India), marginalization and social exclusion remain as acute as
ever in both countries.

As well as the use of new primary material in every chapter, the
book also critically examines new relevant studies and responds
to global perspectives on minority issues. It canvasses a broad
range of subjects from global terrorism and civil wars in Libya
and Syria, to the Arab Spring and the emergence of Islamic
fundamentalism and the Islamic State (ISIS).
