This volume engages with the idea of a university, the importance
of intellectual inquiry and research, and the articulation of
diverse political views and dissent. It discusses the prominent
ideas and debates around universities and their nature and
contributions, within the historical and social context of India.
The chapters reflect on the importance of critical thinking and the
rigorous research process, the engagement of students with
socio-political discourse, and academic freedom. They also examine
issues around the instrumentalisation of knowledge production,
commodification of education, the clash between political forces
and universities, intellectual freedom in research and teaching,
inclusivity and accessibility of higher education, as well as the
autonomy and identity of universities. With insightful
contributions from prominent scholars and thinkers in India, this
volume will be of interest to academics and students of sociology,
political science, education, public policy and governance,
philosophy of education and South Asian studies. It will also be
useful for readers interested in the debates on universities and
their relationship with politics and society.
