CONSTITUTIONAL MORALITY VS. CULTURAL NATIONALISM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION POLICIES
MR.SIDDHANT JAMBHULKAR
ABSTRACT
This article explores the evolution of the Indian education systems as a tool for nation building. It examines how the education policies of 1968, 1986, and 2020 align with Dr. Ambedkar’s concept of constitutional morality. The article also explains the shift from the 1968 and 1986 focuses on secularism and composite culture toward the 2020 National Education Policy’s emphasis on the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) and decolonising education system. The article argues that while IKS aims to decolonize education, its vague definition risks promoting ethnic and cultural nationalism over abstract, secular citizenship.
