'Representation' of OBCs in Higher Education
A Response
This article is a response to Jaya Goyal and D P Singh's "Academic Performance of OBC Students in Universities: Findings from Three States" (EPW, 1 February 2014). It challenges the claim that the Other Backward Classes are not under-represented in education and also the attempt to redefine representation as understood within the context of reservation policies. The author was also a part of the study on which Goyal and Singh based their article.
I wish to thank Shubha Ranganathan and Gopal Guru for their very insightful comments on the earlier drafts. The shortcomings are all mine.
