| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This study is an account, largely based on field research, of how Muslims in Delhi experience the public healthcare sector. It identifies how negative memories of the Indian Emergency and sterilisation campaigns of that time may still get recalled today whenever any untoward incident happens concerning Indian Muslims in relation to public health services. The research seeks to identify to what extent this kind of historical memory translates into perceptions of disadvantage that then gradually initiate a process of self-exclusion, reinforcing a spiral of disadvantage. |
