The book is an eye-opener to those who are acclaiming adnauseam the world over about the progress and achievement of equality in India, on the Gandhian lines. It penetrates deeply into Gandhian viewpoints on the subject and the panacea prescribed by him and concludes that the ways and means adopted are essentially un-Gandhian and adoption of the western thought. By correlating the Gandhian thoughts on the subject with the pace of achievements of the end in view, the book is a candid and forthright exposition of the stark reality that we are faced with. Now that Gandhi's relevance in contemportary India is being talked about, the book suggests a second look at his ideas on Education.
