Beyond Macaulay (eBook, ePUB)

Education in India, 1780-1860

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Beyond Macaulay provides a radical and comprehensive history of Indian education in the early colonial era from 1780 to 1860. It critically explores data of 16,000 indigenous schools, which shows that indigenous education was not oral, informal, and Brahmin-centric but written, formal, and egalitarian.
