This book examines medium of instruction in education and studies
its social, economic, and political significance in the lives of
people living in South Asia. It provides insight into the meaning
of medium and what makes it so important to identity, aspiration,
and inequality. It questions the ideologized associations between
education and social and spatial mobility and discusses the gender-
and class-based marginalization that comes with vernacular-medium
education. The volume also considers how policy measures, such as
the Right to Education (RTE) Act in India, have failed to address
the inequalities brought by medium in schools, and investigates
questions on language access, inclusion, and rights. Drawing on
extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the book will be
indispensable for students and scholars of anthropology, education
studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, and South Asian studies. It
will also appeal to those interested in language and education in
South Asia, especially the role of language in the reproduction of
inequality.
