The Battle for IITs A Defense of Meritocracy

The Battle for IITs A Defense of Meritocracy

This book is part of a series that started with the flagship Snakes in the Ganga:  Breaking  India  2.0 in  September  2022. The  present volume focuses on the American project led by Harvard University to dismantle the  Indian  Institutes  of  Technology  (IITs) and other institutions of excellence in India, by claiming that they propagate structural casteism. While it is beyond the  scope of this book to discuss in detail Marxism, Postmodernism and other European intellectual movements of the last 150 years, the fact is that these movements have influenced what has culminated in this current battle against the IITs.
