This companion presents a comprehensive overview of educational policies in India, tracing the development of modern education from the late eighteenth century until Indian independence.

It surveys Indian response to modern education and various forms of National Education. It also discusses Gandhi's educational ideas and brings forth the entire curriculum of Nai Talim.
