Abstract

This article discusses caste discrimination in Indian universities, specifically focusing on the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). The podcasts explore the underrepresentation of marginalized castes in PhD admissions at these institutions and the institutionalized discrimination that marginalized students face. The article highlights how caste inequalities are perpetuated through concepts like meritocracy and cultural capital. It emphasizes the need to address caste inequalities in management education and suggests incorporating caste into management courses. The podcasts provide firsthand evidence of caste inequalities and can be used as a resource for initiating discussions on caste in the classroom. [Extracted from the article]
