520			_aThis paper on the impact of cultural capital on school education in India examines the potential influence that cultural capital provides to the school education by applying a sociological lens. Education is considered to be the key driver for ideation, formation and expansion that helps people move on the ladder of qualitative life course. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital and its application in educational contexts, the paper explores how socio-cultural factors shape educational experiences and outcomes in the diverse Indian landscape. The paper analyzes the interplay between family background, social class, caste, language, and educational institutions, highlighting how these factors contribute to the reproduction of social inequalities within the education system. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical studies, the paper elucidates the mechanisms through which cultural capital impacts student achievement, teacher-student interactions and overall educational framework. The findings underscore the need for policy interventions and pedagogical approaches that address cultural disparities and promote inclusive education in our country.- Reproduced
