Education and the Future

What is education for? Across two decades of speeches, notes, messages, and a letter to the chief ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru returns to the question as India moves from colonial rule into nation-building. This four-part Kafka selection ranges from basic and adult education to universities, language, manual work, children's spaces, Tagore's Visva-Bharati, and the scientific temper. Archive titles, dates, source citations, inline emphasis, and fifty-five scholarly footnotes are retained from authenticated Nehru Archive page captures.
