The essays in this volume examine the extent to which education has led to the domination of many by a few, thereby furthering inequalities and underdevelopment with a special focus on India. Among the issues discussed are: the consequences for colonial policy on education; the paradox of the brain drain; constraints in educating the poor; and the increasing emphasis on privatization in recent times.
