The existing social mobility framework, which is largely anchored in Western urban industrial experience, treats social mobility as the movement of individuals & collectivities from one occupational status to another. Due to this limitation, it cannot incorporate changes taking place in the social status of rural labor in India, who are predominantly engaged in agriculture & preponderantly belong to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, & Backward Castes. Thus, change in their social status cannot merely be measured only by criteria of occupation, income, & education but it is also conditioned by the institutionalized hierarchical discrimination system based on caste, race, religion, gender, etc. To comprehend the social mobility of these marginalized sections, changes in their social status occurring both in the system of class stratification & discrimination must be taken into account.
