| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article surveys the state of education in India today and exposes the roots of its problems and failures. The school system introduced by the British colonial government and retained after independence mostly ignores or neglects traditional philosophies and methods of teaching and raises students alienated from their main ancestral culture. The paper advocates a gradual introduction of updated texts and disciplines from ancient India in the curriculum and a practical revival of artistic and technical skills guided by a spiritual worldview. |
