Are you from an SC/ST/OBC community (18+)? 10-minute survey for a psychological study on caste, education, and identity Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’m a Master’s student in Applied Psychology at the University of Delhi. I’m conducting my dissertation titled “The Burden of Caste and the Promise of Education: Dalit-Bahujan-Adivasi Narratives of India.”

There is still a major research gap in psychology on how caste and educational experiences shape people’s sense of self, dignity, and relationship with their community. Through this study, I’m trying to better understand these everyday experiences.

I’m hoping to hear from people across different educational backgrounds, including:

• People who discontinued education at any stage (illiterate, up to 12th pass, or college drop-out)
• People who have graduated or pursued higher education

You can participate if you:
• are 18+
• belong to an SC/ST/OBC (Dalit-Bahujan-Adivasi) community
• come from a low–middle income background (up to ₹30 lakh household income)

The survey takes 10–15 minutes, is anonymous, and can be filled in English or Bengali.

I’d really appreciate your participation in making this study a success. Please also share it with others who may be eligible.

If you know someone eligible who may not have internet access, a device, or may not be comfortable reading or filling online forms, you are welcome to help fill the form on their behalf.
