Feelings Of Insecurities In Indian Minorities: Unveiling Lived Realities, Exploring Perspectives And Challenges Faced

Author(s) Ms. Ambalika Banerjee
Country India
Abstract This study explores the feelings of insecurities and delves deeper to also explore the nuanced subjective experiences of the Indian religious minority communities in Bangalore, India. By implementing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this research explores how individuals belonging to Indian minority communities navigate and interpret their daily encounters with oppression, fear and discrimination within their cultural and social contexts. The study incorporates the Social Dominance Theory and the Minority Stress Theory to effectively understand how historical power imbalances and persistent exposure to prejudice shape feelings of insecurity in Indian minorities. The findings will aid in the addressing of important research gaps regarding the subjective experiences of oppression and discrimination faced by members of the Indian minority communities and help in the development of targeted intervention programmes and policies, thus, promoting social justice, equity and community cohesion. This research is particularly significant given the context of India's documented history of various communal violence and riots which have disproportionately impacted the Indian minority communities. This study will help offer important actionable insights for community leaders, policy makers who are committed to fostering a more inclusive and an equitable society.
