The present volume seeks to review education in India through a matrix of nation-building, democratization process, identity, power, social and economic divisions, and social hierarchies all in the overall framework of globalization and neo-liberalism. The book revisits the visions of education of some of the great Indian philosophers and leaders, deconstructs some of the seminal documents on education in India, brings out the significant role played by the people s movement in shaping education, and analyses the trends and progress in the implementation of educational programmes and policies.
