Part Two

In America, unlike India, one can transcend class through economic or social success. After reading “Overlapping identities under liberalization: Gender and caste in India,” assess whether or not an individual can transcend class in the United States.
As you respond to your peers, address potential factors that can affect class status in the US, especially considering the influx of skilled and educated workers coming from India.
