Seven decades since Indian Independence, education takes the centre
stage in every major discussion on development, especially when we
talk about social exclusion, Dalits and reservations today. This
book examines social inclusion in the education sector in India for
Scheduled Castes (SCs). The volume: · Foregrounds the historical
struggles of the SCs to understand why the quest for education is
so central to shaping SC consciousness and aspirations; · Works
with exhaustive state-level studies with a view to assessing
commonalities and differences in the educational status of SCs
today; · Takes stock of the policymaking and extent of
implementations across Indian states to understand the challenges
faced in different scenarios; · Seeks to analyse the differential
in existing economic conditions, and other structural constraints,
in relation to access to quality educational facilities; ·
Examines the social perceptions and experiences of SC students as
they live now. A major study, the volume will be of great interest
to scholars and researchers of education, sociology and social
anthropology, development studies and South Asian studies.
