Description
When Maria Montessori brought her revolutionary educational philosophy to India, she found fertile ground in a nation on the cusp of transformation. This book traces the unlikely yet enduring journey of the Montessori approach from elite urban classrooms to village schools shaped by Gandhian ideals. Set against a backdrop of nationalist fervour and spiritual tradition, this study explores how the pedagogy rooted in ideas of liberty, human dignity and scientific progress resonated with Indian aspirations. Drawing from rich archival sources and personal accounts, Carolie Wilson reveals how Montessori’s long stay in India and the “Indianised” adaptations of her ideas helped shape modern early childhood education in the country. A nuanced history of cultural exchange, innovation, and enduring influence in post-colonial India, it offers fresh insights to educators everywhere.
