 Caste beliefs and practices of teachers are reflected in them condoning the untouchability practices of dominant caste children, not supporting Dalit children when they make complaints, them directly abusing Dalit children, teachers giving caste based tasks like (cleaning, washing toilets to Dalit children), teachers not accepting water, tea etc at the hands of Dalit children, excluding them from leadership positions and social functions in the school, teachers attitudes of disrespect to Dalit parents and most of all them not fulfilling their role in teaching reflected in the low achievement and high drop out rather ‘push out phenomenon’. Discrimination was reported from three premium institutions during 2008, showing that education does not automatically reduce caste bias. A major case of discrimination was reported in the All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi and the ‘Thorat’ committee was set up by the state to enquire into the matter. 20 Dalit students were expelled from the Indian Institute of Techinology, Delh. A Dalit student was pushed to commit suicide owing to the harassment he experienced. As we do not have any provisions to address discrimination we recommend that:     The state makes legislation against discrimination in education, creates mechanism for complaint procedures and redress. We also recommend that an ‘anti-discrimination check on caste’ be developed, administered and routinely monitored so that the caste bias can be routed out and schools can become ‘zero-discrimination zones’ creating friendship across all children. We recommend that educated Dalit youth that are currently available even in all far-flung villages be enrolled to take educational provisions and programmes to Dalit children We recommend that education engages in public education and social messaging against caste and untouchability.
