The book discusses the implications of globalization on education from the perspective of social justice. It looks at two countries — India and the UK — to look at how global economic and cultural processes are mediated through nation states, institutional structures and the aspirations of different social groups. It seeks to resituate the debates around education and social justice in policy, research and public discourse by highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of globalization and education. It also demonstrates the effects of economic dimensions — the politics of neoliberalism, and how this has shifted the understanding of state responsibilities and marginalized issues pertaining to the agenda of social justice.

Rough Estimates Indicate That Nearly 60-70 Million Children In The Age Group Of 6-13 Years Do Not Attend School In India And Remain Deprived Of The Basic Right To Learn. This Despite The Face That The Goal Of The Universalization Of Elementary Education Has Been A Stated Objective Of The Indian Nation State. Existing Information Clearly Reveals That The Majority Of Children Outside The School System Belong To Poor And Other Deprived Groups. The Study Focuses On Understanding Schooling Participation From The Perspective Of Poor And Deprived Families And Analysing The Present Policy And Interventions In The Context Of This Understanding. Basic Livelihood Insecurity, Adverse Socio-Political Positioning, Lack Of School Accountability And Oversimplification Of Equity Issues In Policies And Delivery Modes Emerge As Critical Issues.

There are several important themes that define India''s contemporary politics. The essays in this anthology focus on some of the critical developments and the ways in which long-standing structures of society and the working of democracy have reconfigured Indian political society. Many of them examine important aspects of democratic politics after Nehru. Many look at the debates over secularism, representation, redistribution, social justice, and caste, class and gender, and the changing nature of the State in the wake of globalization and liberalization. Besides, they explore the politics and policy of group differentiated rights, regional politics, caste assertion, minority rights and women''s rights and how these endeavours have impacted the pursuit of equality in India. India is famous for its democracy; its government''s are elected by its citizens at regular intervals. India has consolidated a democratic system despite the absence of the preconditions often associated with democracy in the 1950s when India first became a democratic, secular republic. From the late 1980s legislatures have become more socially representative contributing to a shift in the balance of political power in the state and society. But in the process Indian democracy has also become predominantly a means of electoral empowerment of different groups--lower castes, dalits, or even majoritarian Hindus who claim to have been weakened by the privileges accorded to religious minorities. India has not been successful in reducing inequalities between its citizens. The inequalities in wealth and income have not been reduced; an unconscionably large number of people are poor even by the most modest standards of living; universal literacy is yet to be realized; a high dropout rate from schools and a very small proportion of the population go on to higher education. This leads into another related aspect of socioeconomic and political asymmetries: regionalism and the growing importance of states in the political system after economic liberalization. India is undeniably one of the world''s most unequal societies. Social inequality revolves around the axes of class, caste, religion and gender. These inequalities are rooted in the caste system, property, income, employment and education. The upper castes are the most advantaged in India and Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes among the poorest and most disadvantaged. However, the Indian state has made significant attempts to address these pressing concerns through constitutional provisions and above all, through the policy of mandatory reservation for these two groups since 1950 and for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) following the implementation of the recommendations of the Mandal Commission from 1990 onwards. Whilst the constitutional effort to reduce social inequalities has met with considerable success, it also created many new problems because it did not enable governments to ensure substantive equality. The political leadership is more representative but only in respect of caste. Change is limited to the institutions of representation and to caste groups who have gained from it; it does not extend to Muslims and women. Some of the aforesaid developments have transformed the tenor and quality of democratic politics and whether this will lead to a greater social deepening of democracy broadly hinges on efforts to resolve three key issues. How will the political system, now more than ever based on egalitarian democratic values, accommodate the changes taking place in its social arrangements? How will the state balance the need to ensure social good by defining an overarching vision for a country that, on the one hand, is galloping ahead on a high growth path just as the state acts to promote private business, and on the other, is divided by huge inequalities in economy and society? And, in the face of the declining legitimacy of the state and the continuing expansion of civil society, can the state redevelop and revive its legitimacy, and if it is to do so, how should it redefine the boundaries between state and society and state and capital? These issues, with their built-in tensions, will continue to serve as sources of change in the continuing transformation of Indian democracy.

Bridging the Social Gap: Perspectives on Dalit Empowerment addresses four interrelated issues. It conceptualises exclusion-linked deprivation of excluded and indigenous groups in Indian society and elaborates the concept and meaning of social exclusion in general, and of caste-, untouchability- and ethnicity-based exclusion in particular. It then presents the status of disadvantaged groups of Dalit and Adivasi and captures inter-social group inequalities in the attainment of human development. It then goes on to analyse factors associated with high deprivation of these disadvantaged groups in terms of low access to resources, employment, education and social needs. Finally, it highlights the role of caste discrimination in economic, civil and political spheres in the persistence of group inequalities. All these issues have been explained using simple language; relevant and recent data; case studies; news highlights related to civil, social, economic and political rights violation for easy and better understanding of readers.

The notion that a monolithic idea of ‘nonalignment’ shaped India’s foreign policy since its inception is a popular view. In Power and Diplomacy, Zorawar Daulet Singh challenges conventional wisdom by unveiling another layer of India’s strategic culture. In a richly detailed narrative using new archival material, the author not only reconstructs the worldviews and strategies that underlay geopolitics during the Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi years, he also illuminates the significant transformation in Indian statecraft as policymakers redefined some of their fundamental precepts on India’s role in in the subcontinent and beyond. His contention is that those exertions of Indian policymakers are equally apposite and relevant today. Whether it is about crafting a sustainable set of equations with competing great powers, formulating an intelligent Pakistan policy, managing India’s ties with its smaller neighbours, dealing with China’s rise and Sino-American tensions, or developing a sustainable Indian role in Asia, Power and Diplomacy strikes at the heart of contemporary debates on India’s unfolding foreign policies.
