Fissures in Education is a monograph that examines, analyses, and evaluates the current system of education in India. It highlights the entire package of education couched with all sorts of innate contradictions and pre-suppositions. The articles that appear in the monograph unravels the duplicity and irrelevancy of our education for life and living. It fails to augur educational relevancy vis-a-vis the dynamics of reflection-action-reflection process leading to critical consciousness.

Over and above, the monographs rips-opens the educational learnings and pedagogical applications to the learners in the class rooms that include-students, teachers and the public at large who pursue education for meaningful existence. Education per se ought to enjoin critical learning and creative engagement to the learners. In doing so, this monograph unravels the gaps and holes in the current educational scenario and in the process unpacks a number of critical pedagogic leverages for meaningful education for life and living.

It also attempts to retrieve and sustain within the current discourses the rational-libera-tive articulation in polity, history, culture, and economy. Its objective is not just only to inform and enlighten the readers, but also to impel them towards emancipatory engage-ment with academia and society at large. It hopes to function as a tool both of decon-struction as well as reconstruction of socially relevant knowledge.
