Books on Education

1. Understanding History: Itihaas ki Samajh: A Guidebook for teachers (Hindi and in English). This is a handbook for teachers. Children often do not understand the purpose and relevance of learning history. The book explains in simple terms how change is a part of nature and how through a process of change we have come from the past to the present state. It also helps connect history to our own lives.

Price: Rs.50/-(Hindi); Rs.100/-(English)

2. A Matter of Quality: This is a research study about the perception of people living in urban and rural areas of Uttarakhand about the issues around education: how they perceive education, their expectations, and the aspirations created by education. We have also attempted to relate what the women and elders of rural communities say and what Mahatma Gandhi said 80-90 years ago. The reader will be amazed at the similarity of views then and now, as if nothing has really changed! The findings of the study will resonate with the reality of other parts of India .

Books By Dharampal:

There are several books by Sri Dharampal, many of them published by us which give an insight into the state of  polity, society, the education system, manner of protests (civil dis-obedience), science and technology just before the arrival of the British in India say about 250/200 years ago. The research is based on British archival records which are now easily available for public scrutiny. These research studies and articles often challenge our own assumptions about how we look at ourselves and our own people.

1. Dharampal Collected Writings (Vol. I—V) Price Rs.900/- Per Set

Vol. I: Indian Science and Technology in the Eighteenth Century— A major classic on India ’s science and technology, traditions. This is a first real modern classic to bring to light the science and technological traditions prevailing in India prior to the arrival of her destructive colonizers.

Vol. II: Civil Disobedience in Indian Tradition— The book comprises the almost day by day account of the popular resistance to the tax and its withdrawl by the British.

Vol. III: The Beautiful Tree: Indigenous Indian Education in the Eighteenth Century— India ’s colonial rulers destroyed a functioning system of education that was in some way far superior to schooling in England then.

Vol. IV: Panchayat Raj and India’s Polity— India ’s village communities may offer a better prospect for human progress than a political system based on Western individualism.

Vol. V: Essays on Tradition Recovery and Freedom— This book provides the philosophical background of the life long quest to rediscover and indigenous social, political, educational and economic systems which served the people of this country till these were suppressed and supplanted by the imported institutions associated with the bourgeois civil society of England .

1. Rediscovering India:— Collection of more than 20 articles, notes, organised into three themes. The Dharampal flavour is manifest in each of the articles in this collection, rich in research, delectable insight, and revelations which are spicy and invigorating.

Price: Rs 295/- PB, Rs. 395/- HB (English)

1. The British Origin of Cow Slaughter in India : With some British Documents on the Anti-Kine-Killing Movement 1880-1894: — British Archival documents of the Anti-Kine-Killing Movement between 1880-1894 in which people from all communities — Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims and Parsees — participated and how it was defamed and suppressed by the British.

Price Rs.495/-(English)

1. Remembering Dharampal: — This book is a collection of essays by people who knew Dharampal Ji well.

Price Rs.265/-(English)

1. Despoliation and Defaming of India : The early Nineteenth Century British Crusade: — what distinguishes the present volume from many of his previous collections is that he has provided a more systematic and expansive introduction. In it he gives an uncharacteristically explicit perspective on the documents that summarise his deep meditation on how the Indian image was constructed and debased by the British colonial power for the past two hundred years, starting with the end of the 18th century. The selected archival material reprinted in this volume, amounts to clear evidence of a concerted moral, political, and cultural campaign of defamation against Indian society.

Price: Rs.120/- PB, Rs.200/- HB (Both in English)

1. Understanding Gandhi: — A collection of essays which give a rare insight into how the Mahatma negotiated his way, steered the country and the congress, through British machinations and manoeuverings.
