This book highlights the significance of an interdisciplinary
approach to understanding children and childhoods in the Indian
context. While it is recognised that multiple kinds of childhoods
exist in India, policy and practice approaches to working with
children are still based on a singular model of the ideal child
rooted in certain Western traditions. The book challenges readers
to go beyond the acknowledgement of differences to evolving
alternate models to this conception of children and childhoods.
Bringing together well-known scholars from history, politics,
sociology, child development, paediatrics and education, the volume
represents four major themes: the history and politics of
childhoods; deconstructing childhoods by analysing their
representations in art, mythology and culture in India; selected
facets of childhoods as constructed through education and
schooling; and understanding issues related to law, policy and
practice, as they pertain to children and childhoods. This
important book will be useful to scholars and researchers of
education, especially those working in the domains of child
development, sociology of education, educational psychology, public
policy and South Asian studies.
