Learning from Conflict critiques the inherent pedagogy of school education in India by questioning the categories through which knowledge is framed in syllabuses and texts. Examining the reasons for our refusal to discuss issues of conflict, it argues that strategies of evasion are counterproductive and children will seek answers from alternative sources.

Krishna Kumar is Professor of Education at Delhi University and has served as Dean of the Faculty.
