Caste, Quotas, and Equality: Time to Rethink Reservation?
A 60-minute session on equality and reservation, approached from everyday life: the dinner bill, the sibling who got more help, the side doors into college, ladies' seats on the bus, jobs for locals, the caste box on a form, the cup on a separate shelf and what we tell our children. Is equal the same as fair, and who gets to decide? Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
