Abstract

School and college is a place where young minds are nurtured and are allowed to understand the values of life by teaching them the different aspects of the same such as honesty, discipline, togetherness, equality, respectability etc. which are the fundamental issues of one’s life. They learn new things about the world and get to familiarize themselves with various worldly affairs. But what will happen when school and college differentiate among the students on the grounds of caste and creed. Scenario for Dalits in the Indian edification system was pitiable. Children from lower strata were forced to take a seat in the open-air, whereas those who belong from upper castes were imparted inside the classrooms. Tutors used to prevent themselves from touching children from lower strata. They used to fling wicker canes on them from the distance hence making Dalits realize that they are polluted, hence instilling sense of alienation in the young minds. Study also shows that Dalits since time immemorial are not allowed to avail the facility of education. Although they went to school and colleges but they were denied the fundamental rights implicitly through different devious means.
