Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The state of Bihar has diversities in terms of caste, religion, culture, economic status and also geographical settings. It is a dominant assumption that the people’s different identities determine their roles in different way in structures of institutions of state making their relationship with other categories of people complex. The identity of religion and caste among other identities are politically most effective in Bihar. These identities have an intricate and complex relationship depending upon the situation. In most cases, the identities of caste and gender seem to be dependent on religious identity. Identity as women has drawn attention of political parties in recent years, but women also belong to identities of caste and religion. Thus, the present study attempts to explain the role of different categories of people in the creation of inequality which further leads to injustice at large. The article also critically evaluates the role of the government of Bihar in dispensing justice to marginalized sections of societies like women, backward castes, SCs/STs etc. – Reproduced
