Critical race theory provides a framework for examining how systemic racism is embedded in laws, policies, and institutions. In the context of Indian local products, this perspective helps us understand how historical and social inequalities have shaped production, distribution, and consumption patterns.
Traditional Indian handicrafts, textiles, and agricultural products often reflect the cultural heritage of marginalized communities. However, market dynamics and global trade policies have frequently disadvantaged these local producers, perpetuating economic disparities along racial and caste lines.
By applying critical race theory to analyze Indian local products, we can identify ways to create more equitable economic systems that recognize and value the contributions of all communities while addressing historical injustices in production and trade relationships. |
