Abstract: Abstract: After Independence, India adopted a constitution that guaranteed equality, justice, and protection from all types of exploitation. To ensure this, various strategies and programs were designed for the redistribution of national assets. Educational services, health for all, and social defence programs were implemented across India. Social Justice thus prevailed ensuring adequate budgets, infrastructure development, and public participation through public sector growth in many sectors. New Economic Policy that was adopted in 1991 due to a deficit in the government treasury and ratified by the Indian parliament was an outcome of conditions imposed by international agencies like IMF (International Monetary Fund) and other agencies. The impact of NEP-1991 has drastic effects due to LPG (Liberalisation, Privatisation, and Globalisation) policies on every unit of Indian society. Assessing the impact on traditionally Caste Affected Marginalised sections and minorities is the focus of this paper. After nearly thirty years, the effect has trickled down on these populations in a diverse manner. “Has this challenged the Constitutional framework of Social Justice”? This question is continuously discussed in this paper.
