My friend and myself have published this new article in the Deccan Herald on "School education vouchers empower Dalits through choice"
"The government can also create a fiscal capacity to finance the school education of Dalit students. There are 20 crore Dalits in India. Assuming one-fourth of them are school going children and the government pays Rs 5,000 to every dalit child every year, this will translate in Rs 25,000 crores only for the state. However, if we are able to provide a strong foundation to Dalit students with quality in school education, we will be able to negate the caste system and discrimination perhaps in a couple of generations."
