Answer» New social movements in India-New social movements include those issues or demands which were ignored by other social movements. These issues are : environment conservation, human rights, feminist movements, and Jan Jagaran Andolan etc. These movements are inspired by new consciousness towards injustice in human life. The aim of all these movements is to establish a social system based on social justice. These are not for protection of the interests of any particular section, rather for the collective (public) interests. In India these movements started in 1960s. Farmers Movement, Labours Movement, Women Empowerment Movement, and Movements against Development Hazards etc are among the main new social movements. |
