Coming to the last question, I would like to say that Nehruvian model was primarily based on Castiest separation because the scientific and technical education couldn't be afforded by so called lower castes across the country. His vision of the educated India was on the line of Manusmriti that prescribes the privileges of upper caste Hindus and the degradation of lower castes. What is the outcome? ? Everyone in India knows that the Nehruvian model of higher education has failed miserably in the country.
But wAS it not an education policy geared to top heavy whi h wanted to produce brilliant e gin eers and scientists to keep up with the advanced economies.Perhaps it was a gesture to bring India in tbe world of rich and powerful
Re: the last question - surely it ought to have been evident to a man as intelligent as Nehru was that there was scarcely any reason a "trickle-down" approach in education could succeed?
