The document discusses casteism in India. It begins by defining caste and explaining that the caste system continues to influence social, economic, and political empowerment in India. Scheduled castes are often treated as a vote bank by political parties but have not achieved true political power. Casteism is considered a social problem as it disrupts governance, democracy, and causes conflicts between castes. The caste system originated from the Vedic texts and classifies Hindu society into a rigid hierarchy. It influences all aspects of Indian society and is reinforced by political and social groups. Casteism persists in India and poses challenges for equality and social justice.
Socio – Economic Mobility among Schedule Caste: A Study of Village Mugalmagri...inventionjournals
ABSTRACT : Caste is a powerful organization in Indian society. It provided a structure for arranging and organizing social groups in terms of their statuses and positions in the social and economic system. It predetermined individuals into the structure of social hierarchy on the basis of their birth. In the hierarchical order Brahmins were at the top of the social ladder, and the ‘Untouchables’, people who were at the bottom of the ladder. They were considered to be inferior in all respects by the higher castes and were placed at the bottom of ritual and social hierarchies of the Caste and Varna system and had been subjected to varieties of disabilities, deprivations and oppression under the traditional system. They were not considered human beings and were exploited and discriminated in many spheres of life. After Independence there has been a growing awareness and concern for the degraded socio-economic condition of the Scheduled Castes . For this, efforts are being made in collaboration with different organizations and institutions to inculcate and encourage them to merge with the socio - economic fabric of the country . In turn, they have experienced a modicum of social mobility and there has been an unprecedented rise in the political consciousness among them. The caste system in India which is based on the principle inequality whether those inequalities (Social and Economical) are going too diminished or perpetuated further in the period of globalization? Are they being able to compete with the changing scenario? What will happen with their occupations? Are they able to get quality education? What changes has come into their lifestyles? Do they have new skills so as to get the benefits mobility? Is there any social and occupational mobility among them in view of globalization, education, occupation or are they stagnated? Etc. needs to be answered if they have to become a citizen of a global community- dreamed as a knowledge society.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Introduction
Caste is a word which is one of the obligatory
in Indian history that decide the social,
economical and political empowerment of the
people even in the 21st
century in the country. In
India, a person can covert his/her religion to any
religion that can be legitimate as per our system,
but no one can convert from his / her own caste
to another caste. This is the supremacy of the caste
system in India which has been established as a
social customs by the prehistoric Vedas. Caste is
a part and partial of the social and political
organization of the country in all aspects and this
can be protected by the group of leaders,
organization and political parties to sustain in
their identity. The present article focuses on an
overview of caste system in India.
Caste system
The term caste is not an Indian word. Caste
comes from the Spanish and Portuguese word
“casta” which means “race”, “breed”, or
“lineage”. Many Indians use the term “jati”.There
are 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub castes in India,
each related to a specific occupation. According
to the Oxford English Dictionary, it is derived
from the Portuguese casta, meaning “race,
lineage, breed” and, originally, “‘pure or unmixed
(stock or breed)”. (Oxford English Dictionary.
1989) There is no exact translation in Indian
languages, but varna and jâti are the two most
proximate terms. ( Corbridge. 2013).
Kaka Kalelkar, was an Indian independence
activist, social reformer and journalist. He was a
major follower of the philosophy and methods
of Mahatma Gandhi. According to Kaka
Kalelkar, “Casteism is an over-riding blind and
supreme group loyalty that ignores the healthy
social standards of justice, fair play, equity and
universal brotherhood.” An Indian novelist,
journalist, historian, administrator and diplomat
K. M. Panikkar said “Casteism is the loyalty to
the sub caste translated into political. According
to D.N. Prasad, “Casteism is a loyalty to the caste
translated into politics. In general, Casteism may
be defined as a phenomenon by virtue of which
persons belonging to a certain caste group are
either discriminated against or shown favour
regardless of their merits and demerits, just on
the basis of their caste.

The caste system in India is division of society
intostrata, influenced bythe classicAryanVerna’s
of north India, and Dravida jati system found in
south India. Caste is a formof social stratification
characterized by endogamy, hereditary,
transmission of a lifestyle which, often includes
on occupational, ritual states in a hierarchy and
customary social interaction. The use of spelling
“caste” with this later meaning, in first attested
to in English in 1613.
This caste system became fixed and hereditary
with the emergence of Hinduism and its beliefs
of pollution and rebirth. The Laws of Manu
(Manusmitri), refer to the impurity and servility
of the outcastes, while affirming the dominance
and total impunity of Brahmins. Those from the
“lowest” castes are toldthat their place inthe caste
hierarchy is due to their sins in a past life. Vivid
punishments of torture and death are assigned for
crimes such as gaining literacy or insulting a
member of a dominant caste. Among the writings
of Hindu religious texts, the Manusmitri is
undoubtedly the most authoritative one,
legitimizing social exclusion and introducing
absolute inequality as the guiding principle of
social relations
Historically the caste system in India has
consisted of thousands of endogamous groups
called jatis or quoms. All the jatis were clubbed
under the Varna’s categories, during the British
colonial census of 1901. The terms of Verna and
jati are two distinct concepts. While Verna is the
idealized four parts of division. There are four
major castes and hurdles of minor castes; each
caste has specific duties and privileges.
Brahmins – relating to originally the priests
and intellectuals
Kshatriyas - relating to soldiers
Vaishyas – relating to traders
Sudras – performed menial tasks
Perspectives of Caste system
Perspectives of Caste system will be depend
upon the conceptual approach of the eminent
personalities in the field of sociology or history
based on their perception of caste and its related
dimensions. There are at least two perspectives
for the origins of the caste system in ancient and
medieval India, which focus on either ideological
factors or on socio-economic factors. The first
school focuses on the ideological factors which
are claimed to drive the caste system and holds
that caste rooted in the four varnas. The second
school of thought focuses on socio-economic
factors and claims that those factors drive the
caste system. It believes caste to be rooted in the
economic, political and material history of India.

the social system which decide the status of the
people in the society. According to the

of the Sikhs, and one-third of the Christians in
India belonged to the notified scheduled castes
or tribes of the Constitution.

Casteism is considered as a social problem as
it disturbs the effective governmental politics and
democracy and paves the way for mutual group
conflicts. Casteism is manifested in the form of
clashes between various castes for higher share
in the socio-eco-nomic privileges and power.
Conclusion
Indian caste system is based on Hindu religion
that manipulates and decides the caste system in
the society. Casteism has become all-
encompassing. It has entered into the spirit and
bones of a sizeable section of the society. Its root
has gone bottomless into Indian soil. It cannot be
uprooted overnight. It is in the interest of both
the individual and society that Casteism should
be eradicated from the Indian social atmosphere
at the original. Economic and political
empowerment of the people in the country is
decided by caste system. Scheduled caste people
will be treated as vote bank of almost all leading
political parties and they were not allowed to
politically powerful even in the twenty first
century.
