The journey of a nation is often charted through the evolving philosophies that guide its progress, and nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of education. As India transitioned from the throes of colonialism to the promise of self-determination, the imperative to forge a cohesive, equitable, and progressive educational system became paramount. This book, 'The Shifting Sands of Educational Philosophy in India: A Critical Analysis of the National Policies on Education (1968, 1986, 2020),' embarks on a critical exploration of this very trajectory, not merely as a chronological recounting of policy documents, but as a deep dive into the underlying intellectual currents and societal forces that have shaped and been shaped by these landmark pronouncements.
