This paper analyzes narratives about the radical socio‐economic changes accompanying liberalization in India to consider how English‐medium schooling is becoming an aspirational resource for non‐elite parents.

Meanwhile, educators' specific shaming of non‐elite aspirations for English schooling reveals their anxieties concerning disrupted local hierarchies, symbolized by non‐elite English schooling.
