DECONSTRUCTING CASTE-BASED PRIVATE DISCRIMINATION: COMPARATIVE EXAMINATION OF INDIA AND CANADA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"Caste" is a rigid system of social hierarchy marked by deep-rooted divisions. These divisions are upheld through patriarchal and heteronormative practices, often enforced through the looming threats of social ostracism, economic boycotts, and physical violence, which also infringe upon the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India. While numerous legal judgments and legislations have concentrated on mitigating caste-based discrimination by state authorities and individuals in public spaces, significantly less attention has been directed towards caste discrimination in private spheres, referred to as private discrimination. Despite explicit constitutional provisions that prohibit private discrimination and enable individuals to take legal action against others for such transgressions, the courts have demonstrated hesitance in enforcing fundamental rights against private individuals engaging in caste discrimination. Consequently, instances of private discrimination endured by Dalits and Other Backward Classes have remained mainly outside the scope of legal protection. This thesis employs a critical caste theory framework arguing for the regulation of caste discrimination pertaining to various aspects, such as employment, marriage, housing, dining, and general social interactions. To provide a comprehensive analysis of these issues in the Indian context, this thesis explores the anti-discrimination legal framework in Canada related to private discrimination.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
