INTRODUCTION
Background
Depriving equality is being defined as the concept which states that person is not having
access to the equal rights in comparisons to the people at same level. Thus, this simply means
that two people working at the same position are not getting equal right and one is treated good
and another one not. Hence, for the effective working it is necessary that equality is being spread
all over the working so that it is proper and effective. In the present research, the tea plantation
community of Sri Lanka will be discussed. The tea plantation community is the one which
harvest tea within their grounds and deal in growing and harvesting tea. The present research will
outline the objectives relating to study along with different literatures. Further the method of
completing the study will also be outlined with help of time plan of working.
Aim and objectives
Aim
To analyse the impact of inequality over the Sri Lankan plantation community particularly tea. A
study on Sri Lankan tea community.
Objectives
 To understand the concept of deprived equality and its role in affecting working
efficiency of people.
 To evaluate the inequality practices being used with respect to the Sri Lankan Tea

Research objectives
1. What do you mean be deprived equality and how it affects the working of person?
2. What are the inequality practices which are being faced by the tea plantation community
of Sri Lanka?

equality?

Literature review
In the opinion of Seoighe (2017) the depriving the equality is being referred to as the not
providing of the proper rights to the person. This simply means that some discrimination is being
taking place and this affects the working to a great extent. the reason pertaining to the fact is that
in case the discrimination is being taking place then this will affect the working efficiency of the
people in negative manner. Hence, as a result of this, the working of the people will be affected
to a great extent. hence, the deprivation of the equality from the tea plantation community will
demotivate them and it might be possible that they will not be working in better and effective
manner.
As per the views Gunatilleke (2020) the tea plantation is being defined as the planting
and harvesting the tea for selling it. The tea plantation is very essential for the growth of the
economy and the tea production is also one of the main source of foreign exchange for Sri
Lanka. Also, the sources evaluate the fact that contribution of the tea plantation is almost 2 % of
GDP which results in the total contribution of approximately US$ 1.5 billion in the year 2013.
Along with this, the tea plantation also provides for the effective employment opportunities as
well. the reason pertaining to the fact is that tea plantation involves a lot of work and as a result
of this it increases the employment.
In support of this A bitter brew: For Sri Lanka’s tea estate workers, fair wage is still
elusive, (2021) states that the Sri Lankan tea industry has lost the market leadership within the
global economy. The most common inequality which the tea plantation community being facing
is the fair wages. This means that the fair wages are not being provided to the people involved
within the tea plantation business. this is the major inequality which they face as they are not
being provide with the fair wages for the work which they are doing. The wages of the tea
plantation community are being stagnant and is not increasing which is not fair.
Along with this Ramesh (2019) argues that the workforce involved in tea plantation
community is being reducing. This simply means that as people are not motivated to work within
the industry as there are many different inequalities being faced particularly relating to pay.
Hence, due to this, the people are not interested in entering within the industry.
Research methodology
Element Description
Research type The research type for the analysis of deprived

equality of tea plantation community out of the
two that is qualitative and quantitative is
qualitative type (Snyder, 2019). The reason for
selection of the qualitative method is to
increase the theoretical knowledge relating to
equity deprivation of tea plantation
community.
Research approach The approach for research involved in the
present case will be inductive approach. It will
be selected for the reason that it assists in
developing the aim and objective relating to
research topic.
Research philosophy Interpretivism philosophy will be used by the
researcher in order to complete the study
successfully. This philosophy is being used as
it is based on theoretical basis and these
theories are used to interpret the data relating
to the study.
Data collection The whole research is being based on the
analysis of the data only and for this, collecting
accurate and correct data is very essential. For
the analysis of the research topic the data will
be collected from secondary sources that is
already published data like article, books,
journals and others.
Data analysis After collection of data, the analysis is very
important and for this, the use of thematic
analysis will be undertaken (Nayak and Singh,
2021). The different themes relating to the
objectives will be prepared and will be
analysed for reaching to the conclusions.
