Summary:Does the burgeoning Indian information technology (IT) sector represent a deviation from the historical arc of caste inequality or has it become yet another site of discrimination? In 'The New Frontier', author Marilyn Fernandez describes how the practice of pure and holistic merit are deeply embedded in the social, cultural and economic privileges of the dominant castes and classes, and how caste filtering has led to the reproduction of caste hierarchies and, consequently, the small Dalit footprint in Indian IT.
