Propagation of inequality
Dalits in the Indian subcontinent region (such as India and Nepal) have low attainment in higher education. This study comprises a systematic review of 18 research papers to ascertain whether higher education institutions are disrupting or propagating caste inequalities in the Indian subcontinent. Guided by Amartya Sen’s concepts of capability development, this paper examines the Dalits’ freedom and opportunities to study in an inclusive and non-…
Disrupting power through reflexivity
Sociologists of education have shown that schooling tends to favour the most powerful groups and that even well-intentioned researchers can run the risk of perpetuating some of the very power structures we seek to critique. In this paper we explore how a male, Brahmin researcher from Nepal (the highest caste group in Nepalese society) attempted to disrupt power in researching the educational experiences of the lowest caste group – the Dalits – in…
Effectiveness of teachers’ professional development in Dalits’ opportunities for capability development in Nepal
In this article, I analyse non-Dalit teachers’ outlooks by positioning them within a culturally complex caste system, considering its influence on Dalits’ education. Nepalese society is ruled by a caste system, where non-Dalits–Brahmins and Kshatriya are considered pure and powerful, and Dalits are viewed as impure and powerless. This multi-dynamic caste system promotes social truths that are accompanied by educational prosperity for non-Dalits a…
The Evaluation of Intervention Programs in Girls’ Capability Development Opportunities in Nepal
The government of Nepal in partnership with donor agencies has implemented interventions to improve access of girls to secondary education. These interventions are in the forms of scholarship opportunities, recruitment of female teachers, gender-friendly curriculum, and building girls’ rest rooms in public schools. However, the current high dropout rate of female students from government secondary schools is a growing concern. Using in-depth inte…
Reflexivity over caste and gender
Reflexivity is not a new concept; however, the researcher’s reflexivity on caste and gender preconception in the South Asian context is an understudied area in qualitative studies. We know less about how a researcher’s prejudice can unconsciously exclude Dalits and females from their research. In this critical autoethnographic study, I extend the concept of reflexivity by illustrating first awareness of the subtle nuances of my own prejudiced dis…
