Abstract: The concept of sustainable development is not just dependent on economic and environmental factors but prevailing social conditions are also important consideration. Drought, like other natural disasters has far reaching impact on individuals and society as a whole and as drought is a disaster that has slow onset, therefore, the effects are numerous and deeply penetrated through all sections of society. Although, there has been extensive research on vulnerability and physical environment but the social aspects of vulnerability are not fully explored till date. All societies are classified into groups or strata based on some set of criteria i.e. class, caste, religion, money, education, race and age etc. Caste stratification is very popular in Indian context. It is a popular saying that “When disasters strike, they do not discriminate. Everyone, without exception in the disaster zone will be affected”. It implies that disasters do not discriminate, but people do. Even during disastrous conditions, the social pattern of discrimination continues. The effect of vulnerability is dependent on various factors such economic, social, political. The approach to understand vulnerability depending on economic factors has been emphasised since long; and is most evident in the livelihood framework studies. The socio-political factors like power, prestige also play dominant role in the vulnerability assessment. Often, in the whole process, the exploited and marginalised groups are neglected. Yet, these may play important role in vulnerable assessment. It is important to incorporate the condition of such groups because understanding the process and impact of social differences is critical in understanding vulnerability of people to drought and for sustainable development in the long run. There have been evidences of discrimination of certain groups on the basis of caste; these differences are prominent in rural India with greater intensity. Therefore, this paper broadly deals with the dynamics and impact of social stratification in drought prone regions and how the social structure and power balance impacts vulnerability in selected agro-climatic regions of India.
