Abstract: Caste discrimination remains deeply entrenched in Indian society, impacting various spheres, notably the education sector. This research aims to unveil the prevalence and ramifications of caste-based discrimination within Indian educational institutions through a focused case study analysis. By scrutinizing specific instances of caste discrimination in educational contexts, this study offers a nuanced comprehension of the intricate dynamics and the first-hand experiences of those affected. Through detailed exploration of case studies, it illuminates the systemic barriers and biases perpetuating caste discrimination in education, affecting access to opportunities, academic performance, and the overall well-being of students and educators alike. Through critical analysis of these cases, the research endeavors to unearth the underlying determinants of caste discrimination in the Indian education sector and advocate for substantive interventions and policy reforms fostering inclusivity, diversity, and social justice within educational environments. The study's insights contribute to a wider dialogue on social equality and educational equity in India, urging concerted efforts to confront and eliminate caste discrimination, thus advancing a more equitable and inclusive educational landscape.
