This book examines social inclusion in the education sector in India for Scheduled Castes. 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"--
