Synopsis The book emphasizes the power of ideas that are disseminated through education. It is through education that students come to an understanding of the cultural, social, political and economic realities of a country. At the same time, misinformation or the lack of it can veil these realities and project a completely skewed picture both within and outside the borders. This, however, can be dangerous in a globalized world which has literally become a global village especially with the information technology evolution. It is also an increasingly interdependent world with plural identities where if we have to work together we must understand each other. Not to do so can create disharmony and disorder.In this book, the author, Kavita A. Sharma tells us how education has the immense power to shape the minds of human beings. It is the ability and training of the mind to receive and disseminate ideas. From the power of ideas to the ground realities she studies the system of education in India and its scope for internalization.
