Description
Social mobility research in India has been largely fragmented, with limited systematic study. This book addresses this gap by examining social class, caste, and gender identities across rural and urban contexts using national level datasets and quantitative methods. It investigates the contemporary processes and drivers of social mobility, focusing on disadvantaged groups and their access to education as a means of upward mobility. The book also explores how liberalization has impacted social mobility, arguing that it is now differentially patterned by local and global identities. By shedding light on these complex issues, this study provides valuable insights into the nuances of social mobility in contemporary India.
