Abstract
This paper examines the relevance of the Gandhian perspective on education to the postcolonial study of Western education in the 19th and early 20th century India. This paper will look at the various facets of Western education being discussed by contemporary writers. To verify their resonance with Gandhi’s thoughts, the paper would thematically compare the tenets of Western education in British India and the Gandhian responses to them. Gandhi’s alternatives to such Western education and the Indian criticisms of this program will also be discussed. By assessing the relevance of Gandhi’s vision on education, the paper would trace the extent of colonial remnants in the education system of the present times.
