Social inequality is a universal social problem with several manifestations. In every society or country, some people have a great share of resources such as capital, education, property, health, and power over others. Economic, cultural, and social capital are three types of capital used to classify these resources. Social inequality is when the resources in a society are distributed unevenly along the lines of socially salient categories of people. It emerges when these resources are allocated unevenly in any society. Therefore, unequal access to social resources is called social inequality. The present research paper aims to analyse the level and causes of social inequality and social fragmentation in Moradabad city, and to identify the causes, consequences, and level of social inequality among respondents, and suggest some solutions to the problems.
