This book acquaints the reader to the often invisible-ized
practices and policies under the rhetoric of 'inclusion', through
theoretical and empirical analysis. It emphasizes on the
complexities of education policies in a multicultural state by
identifying the challenges to the idea of 'inclusion' illuminated
through judicial interventions, policy-frameworks and everyday
experiences of individuals. Higher education is imperative to
empowerment in socially stratified societies marred with deep
inequalities like India and many other multicultural countries.
Disputes over inclusion remains a critical feature in Indian higher
education sector, as it is viewed as facilitating access to
economic opportunities and providing vertical mobility for
individuals belonging to marginalized communities. Higher education
empowers, and expands individual horizons of thought and ideas of
freedom, dignity, equality, enabling individuals to participate
actively in the political-sociological discourses in democratic
polity. Therefore, policy makers, political theorists and
educationists have been examining the question of inclusion and
education as public-good. Contemporary India has witnessed an
unprecedented attack on academic freedom, free exchange of ideas
and expressions, challenging the very idea of inclusion and
inclusiveness.
