POLITICS POLICY AND HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA -...

Considering the evolution of Indian higher education policy from British colonial rule to
modern day India  this pivot examines key policy issues in fields as diverse as language 
nationalism and economic development. Focusing on India's relationship with the world at large
and the state of class conflict in India's universities  it assesses the country's politics as
they have impacted education policy  as well as the state of higher education and of
universities in India. The book contends that India's elite and power-stream have developed a
higher education policy that has successfully catered to the creation and reproduction of a
tiny economic elite which excludes the largest sections of higher education institutions and
society. This skewed policy and its concomitant development has led to India remaining a pygmy
nation when it comes to living standards or innovation in natural and social sciences. Through
cutting edge interdisciplinary research  this pivot offers an insightful addition to the debate
on higher education thinking  in India and further afield  across the realms of politics 
policy and philosophy.
