520	1		_a"The commonsense understanding of 'education' rests on the assumption that it has a straightforward positive value. However, in practice, education is profoundly ambiguous in its effects. By focusing on 'educational regimes' - and thereby locating values in a broad political terrain encompassing global, national and local contexts - this collection of original essays addresses numerous crucial issues. These include: Whether educational regimes relate to other facets of contemporary Indian society; the extent to which they facilitate the values and ideals enshrined in the Constitution and in policy goals; and the implications of the differential impact of educational regimes on different social groups in India.".
