Part I: Overview -- Introduction: Environmental and socio-economic dimensions of human habitats in India -- Journey in the realm of geography -- Part II: Environment, resource base and livelihood -- Livelihood adaptation to climate variability in Jaunsar-Bawar tribal habitat of Central Himalayas, India -- Scarcity of common property resources and spatiality of women’s livelihood in rural India -- Inequalities in access to groundwater for irrigation in an agriculturally developed region of India -- Crisis of water and water in crisis: Some reflections from India -- Part III: Economic development and regional disparities -- Socio-cultural spaces and dynamics of transformation in rural India -- Industrial and commercial geography of India: A study of changes in the post-reform period -- Tourism, urbanization and spatial reorganization: Some reflections on tourism development in Goa, India -- Continuity and changing characteristics of traditional commodity specific markets in Varanasi City -- Dynamics and spatiality of socio-economic development during post liberalization period: A study of Ahirwal Region (Haryana), India -- Part IV: Socio-spatial inequalities -- Socio-spatial dimensions of disease transition and healthcare preparedness in Haryana, India -- Gender, urban space and gendered resistance: Towards inclusive and fear free cities in India -- Nature of access to higher education in India: Emerging pattern of social and spatial inequalities in educational opportunities -- Everyday practices of urban poor to access water: Evidences from Delhi slums.

This book highlights various dimensions of human habitats in 21st Century India. The human habitats in the country are marked by perceptible inequality in social and economic spheres. This is occurring in tandem with rapid socio-economic transformation across both rural and urban landscapes. There is a plurality of transformative characteristics in terms of social and economic classes, gender and space. Inequality in access to natural resources such as land and water is still a big factor in socio-economic differentiation in rural habitats. This constructs a pedestal of unequal opportunities and access to basic human necessities such as healthcare, education, potable water and sanitation. Human habitats experiencing socio-spatial segregation and exclusion based on caste, community and gender are detrimental in formation of a civil society and its sustainability in long terms. The ideal situation for this would be formation of an inclusive society that celebrates age old socio-cultural diversities, reduces inequalities and reveres composite culture.
