“Education is not the same as literacy or certification; it should change what we do with what we know. A mark shows what a student memorised, not what changed in them. Students are prepared to be employable, but not always to be transformed. We must stop confusing the certificate with the change it was meant to represent.”

- Ponmythili Muralidharan, The Indian Express, (29/8)

“Dalits in Indian academia are always managing themselves, projecting or living up to a certain image so as to keep hasty criticism at bay. If they stray a millimetre from the socially sanctioned script, disgrace of a kind that exists solely for them befalls them. To question someone’s academic credibility is one thing, but to violate their dignity is anything but responsible criticism. Black people and Dalits are forced to hold on to whatever dignity is left with them, enduring everyday racism and casteism. They know that what routinely bypasses the social gaze will be unforgivable in their case. In societies where race and caste continue to determine the majority’s standing, we ought to be mindful of the unethical foundations of such concerns for ethical conduct. To be Black, to be a Dalit, or any kind of minority, is a costly thing in society. Even in educational institutions, many of the marginalised continue to pay with their life.”

- Irfanullah Farooqi & Suraj Gogoi, The Indian Express, (3/9)
