Indian caste system and education

The present book aims at a well designed and well conducted study on group differences. The study is confined to college students, the leaders of the next generation. The present study incorporates the theories of deprivation formulated in the West in regard to the problems of American Negroes and applies this concept to the study of Scheduled Castes in India. The investigation compares the self-concept, interpersonal relationship, personality adjustment, intelligence and academic achievement of Scheduled Caste students and Non-Scheduled Caste students. The results and conclusions of this study have important implications for social reformers and administrators who are vitally concerned with the problem of ameliorating the conditions of Scheduled Castes in our country. An extensive bibliography provided at the end of the book should be of help to research workers on the deprived group-particularly the Scheduled Castes in India.
