5 no substitute for strong, robust domestic anti-discrimination legislation that covers school-based education, including structural discrimination and, most importantly, the minutiae of everyday forms of discrimination rampant in our classrooms. For a country like India, a nation of immense diversity but also with immense discriminatory hierarchies of gender, class, caste, region and religion, a comprehensive anti-discrimination law is long over-due, and for any nation it must be among the key mechanisms we use to guarantee in substantial measure the rights of minority women.
