Review

"An impressive analysis of the links between the impact of neoliberalism and the market economy in India and rise of Hindu nationalism and populism seen through the lens of education policy and practice." Philip G. Altbach, Boston College"Neoliberal policies and the rise of Hindu nationalism have dramatically affected education in India over the last three decades. This book says why and how by analysing mechanisms of social exclusion and saffronisation in different states and at all levels - including higher education. A must read!" Christophe Jaffrelot, King's College London"Unravels the nuanced connection between Hindutva politics and neoliberal-influenced education reform in the context of a complex and a highly diverse society with an aspiring middle class that prevails in India. A commendable feat." Saumen Chattopadhyay, Jawaharlal Nehru University
