In retracting from the popular view that India's modern educational
policy was shaped almost entirely by Macaulay, this incisive work
reveals the complex ideological and institutional rubric of the
colonial educational system. It examines its wide-ranging and
lasting impact on curriculum, pedagogy, textbooks, teachers' role
and status, and indigenous forms of knowledge. Recounting the
nationalist response to educational reforms, the book reinforces
three major quests: justice as expressed in the demand for equal
educational opportunities for the lower castes; self-identity as
manifest in the urge to define India's educational needs from
within its own cultural repertoire; and the idea of progress based
on industrialization. An exceptional contribution to educational
theory, including a nuanced discussion of caste, gender and girls'
education, this book will be invaluable to teachers, scholars and
students of education, modern Indian history and sociology of
education, and policy makers.
