In her captivating exploration of a government-aided, Muslim-majority school in (old) Delhi, a manager uncovers intricate power structures, political maneuvering, conflicts, and harmonious coexistence. This book delves into the challenges faced by teachers, administrators, and students from low-income and disadvantaged communities as they navigate limited opportunities and resources. It examines the socio-economic-cultural backgrounds of these students, institutional rituals and practices, and the profound impact of power relations in neo-liberal contexts on worker-children. It sheds light on the power and privilege held by those in authority while shedding light on how bureaucratic systems within state-run schools often overlook the unique interests and circumstances of students, perpetuating their marginalized status.

Education in a “Ghetto” holds immense significance for educationalists, sociologists, historians, political scientists, developmentalists, and anyone intrigued by the interplay between state, society, and education. This book offers valuable insights into the complexities of education within marginalized communities, shedding light on the systemic barriers and challenges that students face. It serves as a call to action for policymakers, educators, and society as a whole to address the inequalities and disparities in education and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable educational system for all.
