Description

This Routledge volume explores the fundamental concept of a university and its role in fostering intellectual inquiry, rigorous research, and diverse political discourse. Set within India's historical and social context, the book examines how universities contribute to critical thinking and academic freedom whilst addressing contemporary challenges. The chapters investigate the importance of student engagement with socio-political issues, the significance of the research process, and the tensions between knowledge production and its commodification. This work reflects on how universities navigate their educational mission whilst confronting pressures toward instrumentalisation, offering multiple perspectives on what universities can and should become in modern society.
