    In the Name of Globalisation   (13th October 2007)
     Surinder S Jodhka , Katherine Newman
          This paper draws on interview data to analyse the attitudes of employers/hiring managers in India’s organised private sector towards the caste and community attributes of their potential employees. We focus on the role ascriptive qualities play in employer perceptions of job candidates, arguing that they persist despite a formal adherence to the importance of merit. Antagonism toward reservations, as a mechanism for promoting employment for scheduled castes, is articulated as a principled commitment to the modern virtues of competition and productivity.
