Here is an extract from the foreword commending the book: Education in India has never been merely about schools, universities and classrooms. It has always been about power, social hierarchy and the struggle over what kind of society India will become. In From Macaulay to NEP, Neeraj Jain tells the compelling story of this struggle—from colonial policies designed to produce a narrow elite to the ongoing battle for universal, democratic education. Bringing into conversation the visions of Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule, Bhagat Singh, Gandhi and Dr. Ambedkar with the promises of the Indian Constitution, the book exposes how successive policy shifts—from neoliberal reforms to NEP 2020—have reshaped education in ways that deepen inequality and exclusion. Deeply researched and passionately argued, this book is a powerful call to reclaim education as a universal public good—and the very foundation of democracy. Prof. Anil Sadgopal Distinguished educationist-activist; former Dean, Faculty of Education,  University of Delhi (From the Foreword)
