  • The concept of giftedness has created awe among populations for generations. Understanding brain function in relation to intelligence created a new interest in human behavior. Thus, the concept of giftedness started to be liberated from the scores on tests and became more diverse and inclusive. Fraser has recommended a multi-group perspective of giftedness which is relevant to a country like India. This perspective emphasizes that differences in cultural experiences, values and beliefs do have an impact on designing appropriate assessment and instructional programs to address the needs of students with gifted potential. Tannenbaum's comments on multi-culturalism and social integration are also worth mentioning. He claims that multi-culturalism for integrationists means holding minority representation of meritorious achievement as another qualifier for admission to special programs for the gifted. For separatists, it means that the concept is not just culturally based, but rather sub-culturally diversified. This chapter explores this concept while dealing with multi-culturalism and postmodernism in India. In postmodern India, micro-politics, new movements, demand for autonomy and the rise of popular culture in the form of violent expression in defense of cultural symbols, life styles, and language have taken the form of identity politics.
