In present time, most contemporary theory of development is democratic development theory. Richard Peet and Elaine Hartwick (2009) explain this theory, according to them democratic development means transforming the condition of
reproduction under the control of democratic and egalitarian social relations so that
the need of the poorest people is met. The central theme of our age is democratic
control over economic progress. This paper identified groups of people who were
culturally marginalized due to poverty and lack of education which is also an indirect effect of poverty. This marginalisation process increases inequality in the society. To improve the cultural value and restore indigenous cultural heritage, improving
the educational status of local people is the most important weapon which only can
be done by improving the socio-economic status of local people of this region by the
implementation of policy which directly and positively influence the life of poor
local and marginalized people of this region by developing democratically.
