(Wl-3227)-A Symphonic Zone?: Questions of Language, Education, and Caste

In the context of the ongoing debates on the language and education policies of the Nation-State, and the political crisis that the Union and State governments precariously face in its implementation, this piece is an invitation to critically rethink the promise of radical equality, and the question of experiential community through schooling in the context of a warring world. Questions of language, education, and caste are discussed through the ideas of contact and anti-contact zones; engaged multiplicity; and a proposal to consider schooling as a zone of symphony in a mobile world that is ready to face the sound of a trigger.
