Caste, \u27quotas\u27 and discrimination in India: insights from interdisciplinary quantitative research. An interview with Ashwini Deshpande.
Full text linkAshwini Deshpande is Professor of Economics at the Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, India. Her Ph.D. and early publications have been on the international debt crisis of the 1980s. Subsequently, she has been working on the economics of discrimination and affirmative action issues, with a focus on caste and gender in India. She has published extensively in leading scholarly journals. She is the author of "Grammar of Caste: economic discrimination in contemporary India", OUP, hardcover 2011 and paperback 2017, forthcoming; and "Affirmative Action in India", OUP, Oxford India Short Introductions series, 2013. She received the EXIM Bank award for outstanding dissertation (now called the IERA Award) in 1994, and the 2007 VKRV Rao Award for Indian economists under 45.
In this interview she talks about her work on caste-based ‘quotas’ or ‘reservation’ (terms for affirmative action in India) and their impact. Her work helps demolish several of the myths around quotas and assumes tremendous significance in a polity where reservation policy faces severe opposition from the elite even as it drives electoral politics in many regions of the country. In view of recent developments on university campuses in India, such quantitative work at the interface of sociology, economics and social psychology, becomes important evidence supporting affirmative action and exposing myths of “merit”-based selection processes and “market rationality”.

Exploring the Tera - universe with the LHC, Astrophysics and Cosmology
No full textStudy of Dark matter and dark energy from the analysis of LHC experiment
data. Arriving at the quantity of dark matter. Relation between the dark
matter and the tera universe. Also deriving the energy scales of the dark
matter from the LHC experimental derived data sets and displaying the
mathematical formulas for the dark energy’s quantity.
Upon finding the contents of the dark matter, deriving its impacts on human
lives. Also deriving the relation of the dark matter contents, its quantity and
human neuronal functioning. This relation could lead to the root causes of ill
– health of human beings.
Associating the relations of dark matter and cosmology and astrophysics
utilizing the mathematical derivations – thus leading to the proofs and
conclusions of the impacts, as described above.
Experimental Data is captured from the LHC Open Data. This concept is
analyzed from the LHC Data’s graphical representation, which is attached in
