We study the implementation of quotas in government hiring and university admissions for backward‐class Muslims in 2007 in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

Investigating the effects by gender, we find statistically significant and robust positive effects on the educational attainment of male members of the targeted Muslim groups, but not females. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
