<br/><br/> "While there are numerous studies on Gandhi's philosophy, his views on education have been largely neglected. This study attempts to establish the avante garde nature of Gandhi's philosophy of education. Glyn Richards argues that Gandhi's thoughts on education were integral to his views on truth and self-realization. Gandhi envisaged education as a means to self-realization, the attainment of truth and the all round development of individuals. He stressed that it should be in the vernacular and should involve not just literacy and numeracy, but also the development of creative faculties. The ideal education, according to him, involved both cultivation of spirit and development of mind and body. Through a study of Gandhi's speeches and writings, Richards contends that Gandhi saw education as a key means of shaking off the yoke of alien culture. It was thus integral to his schemes of Sarvodaya and Swaraj."--BOOK JACKET.
