Mrs Kapur doesn’t want her privileged pupils at Bhojwani Academy to live in a "caste bubble" and decides to tackle the issues head on in the classroom.

Indian School follows a remarkable year in one of the world’s fastest growing cities - Pune near Mumbai.
Two of Pune’s schools take us into the world of India’s “rising generation”.
The series gets inside the skin of India’s middle classes, exploring their dreams and anxieties in a world that seems to be changing every day.
Caste is a tricky subject in Pune.
This year has seen caste riots sweeping the city.
Mrs Kapur doesn’t want her privileged pupils at Bhojwani Academy to live in a "caste bubble" and decides to tackle the issues head on in the classroom.
As part of her policy, she’s waived the fees for the children of Munda, the school cleaner, to be educated alongside the predominantly high-caste Bhojwani students.
Munda’s life has been dominated by caste issues, ever since she married a lower caste man.
We follow her as she travels back to her home village for the first time in 15 years, to seek reconciliation with the family who rejected her when she chose love over caste.
