This group is the outcome of some unresolved debates on the formal and informal strucutres of teaching. These structures, we feel, have failed by choice to create a space for a section of students, especially dalit and rural.

We want to create a space for those who are denied of the best. This group tries to re-build the broken confidence of the students after encountering the elitist galaxy of teahcers and students who roll their tongue with theory. We feel that this distances education from social realities and defeats its very purpose.

These thoughts forced us to form an independent group of dalit and non-dalit teachers and students in Hyderabad, India. We hope this group would be of some help to think and act responsibly in the fast growing 'knowledge industry'.

Efforts would be made to arrange a meeting once in a while, at University of Hyderabad,to discuss the advanced theories in the field of humanities, social and other sciences in very simple terms, in necessary Indian languages.The discussions would be later posted on this page.

We welcome you to join the group.
