What is the motivation behind the transmission of knowledge and ideas in the specific cultural contexts of South Asian societies? These essays look at schools and schooling, the telling of myth, colonial information-gathering and the spread of the "Hindutva" ideology, among other examples. The book attempts to provide a common understanding of the social agenda in widely differing contexts. Its topicality is enhanced by current contemporary debates on education and curriculum.
