Abstract: The attainment of education is a recognised parameter for social change and social justice. Foregrounding recent data on the status of reservations—for students and teaching faculty alike—in some of India’s prominent Higher Educational Institutions, this article attempts to highlight the inaccessibility of Higher Education for those from marginalised castes.
