Routledge Social Inclusion and Education in India Book

Explore the complexities of the Indian education system with this comprehensive study from Routledge. This book investigates social inclusion within the education sector, focusing specifically on Scheduled Tribes (ST), Denotified Tribes, and Nomadic Tribes. It provides a deep look into the gap between constitutional promises made to marginalized groups and the actual outcomes delivered in practice. Readers will find a detailed examination of educational data across various Indian states. The text compares the experiences of ST and non-ST students throughout primary, secondary, and higher education levels. By analyzing both central and state-level education policies, the volume identifies the successes and failures that shape current academic landscapes. Furthermore, it explores how colonial roots contribute to modern social exclusion in education. This work serves as a major study for those interested in the sociological and legal aspects of tribal education and social equity in India.
