My research question was developed as a lens through which I could consider my experience in India (as well as my thinking about education):
How does a nation move beyond the vestiges of colonial rule and culture to develop its own peaceful and non-violent practices while reckoning with its past?
To research this, I planned to look for evidence in the design and laws/practices in the cities we visit, in the school I'm visiting--its curriculum and pedagogy, and traditions--in the art and architecture throughout the three parts of the country we are exploring. In the end, my research took a slightly different turn.
Here's my research reflection:
I thought I had a great research question to guide my TGC travel experience:
How does a nation move beyond the vestiges of colonial rule and culture to develop its own peaceful and non-violent practices while reckoning with its past?
To research this, I thought I would find evidence in the design and laws/practices in the cities we traveled to, in the school I was visiting--its curriculum and pedagogy, and in traditions--in the art and architecture throughout the three parts of the country we were exploring. I thought I would examine textbooks, look at historic sites, memorials and monuments, and analyze expressions of nationalism as to whether they reflected (or did not reflect) these values.
I learned quite a lot in response to my research question, but not necessarily in the places or through the methods I anticipated. In part, I think my question was tainted by my own preconceptions. So the surprise for me was that the answers I derived to my research question made me rethink some of my assumptions about India.
Evidence of colonial rule (first the East India Company’s rule from 1765 to 1858 followed by British government—aka the British Raj—rule from 1858 to 1947) is everywhere and nowhere in India. When we were in Delhi, particularly in New Delhi, it was clear that everything from architect Edwin Lutyens’ Delhi, the meticulously designed “new” city that served as the capital of a modern British India beginning in 1911, was a cleaned up version of London adorned with the foliage of India. Similarly, the notion of a “planned city,” as I found in Jamshedpur, has its origins in English city planning, though Jamsetji Tata, the founder of the steel mills in Jamshedpur (Tata Steel), also consulted with architects of the steel mills and surrounding city in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Tata, in fact, made a critical four year trip to England, beginning in 1864, to study the pros and cons of the steel mill designs there. He was absolutely convinced that his city should not resemble the squalor that he saw in many of the British mill towns.
It’s clear that it’s difficult to separate Indian history from British history, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. My time in Jamshedpur underscored this. So much of this steel mill town was a product of British-influenced thinking. The famous Fabian socialists, Beatrice and Sidney Webb, consulted with the Tata family on employee benefits and health plans. Jamsetji Tata wrote a famous statement outlining his vision for the city that clearly emanates from what he saw in England: “Be sure to lay wide streets planted with shady trees, every other of a quick growing variety. Be sure that there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens. Reserve large areas for football, hockey, and parks. Earmark areas for Hindu temples, Mohammedan mosques, and Christian churches.”(1)
Tata was building his steel mills and his city of Jamshedpur well before the British left India. But it is clear that he was already trying to learn what he could from British precedents, rejected the squalor that came with the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and carve out his own distinct vision in building the city.
So how does this fit into the big picture of responses to colonialism in independent India? I did sense that post-colonial India still embodies many of the values that colonialism imposed on it. There is clearly a rigidity to education in many of the schools that I visited that mirrors the traditional teacher-centered education that characterized British education systems for much of its history. When I met with the equivalent of junior and senior students during my week in Jamshedpur, I was asked about the possibilities for education in the United States but I was peppered with questions about going to university in Great Britain (questions I could not answer).
Although the caste system predates British colonial rule in India, vestiges of the caste system were clearly apparent in the “tribal” schools we visited in Jharkland. We know that the British insisted in identifying caste in each of the census they conducted in the country throughout its rule, maintaining its relevance to contemporary society. Scholars have talked at length about British complicity in institutionalizing caste much more so than it had been as a concept in early Hindi writings; the prevalent argument among scholars is that the British took no action to try and dismantle the system. Some argued that India would fall apart without caste; others argued that there would be violence among the Indian people if caste were abolished. Still others contended that the British focus was on streamlining its costs of governing in India, given the vastness of the country and its enormous population and the task of addressing caste would have been “too costly.”(2) What the British did do was to set up reservations and established special schools for the lowest castes. The tribal schools I saw, ostensibly for indigenous people, are what remains of those schools, though I was informed that there are many thousands of Indian children (presumably of even lower castes) who do not attend school at all.
Similarly, the “Hindi schools” we visited—schools on the same site of private schools with conventional school days tuition-free that were offered to the children of poor for 1.5-2.5 hours in the late afternoon were evidence of unequal education based on economic class and status. This is part of the colonial legacy: under British rule, upper class children were educated in British-style schools while education of the poor was minimal at best. The system has changed somewhat, particularly given India’s enormous middle class, and both wealthy and middle class students compete to attend private schools while poor and indigenous (tribal) populations are left out of the equation.
The most famous of the oppressive laws and restrictions imposed by the British colonizers on the Indian people is that of the salt tax and restrictions around the production of salt. Salt was widely produced in India and was highly lucrative. Moreover, salt is indispensable to human health and survival. Gandhi seized on the salt tax as an issue that could unite the Indian people and galvanize them to act, albeit non-violently, against British rule. The salt tax prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt; the tax predated the arrival of the British but it was continued, first by the East India Company and later (after the East India Company gave up control of India to the British following the Indian rebellion of 1857) by the British colonial rulers. If Indians were able to process their own salt, Gandhi argued, they will in effect be protesting British rule and denying the British profitable salt sales. His salt march (known also as the Dandi March and the Dandi Satyagraha) to the sea of 1930 was his first significant popularly supported non-violent challenge to British colonial rule.
But if further institutionalizing the caste system and profiting from taxes on essential goods like salt were negative aspects of British colonial rule, it is also clear that some of the infrastructure in India—from (some) roads to railways and industry—is thanks to the British. I saw less of that in Jharkland and more of that in Delhi (and to a lesser extent in Bangalore) but still India post-colonial rule was in better shape than many other post-colonial nations (as British historians are all too willing to state).(3)
The other portion of my research question was driven again by an assumption. I assumed that Gandhi’s non-violent, peaceful approach to liberating India from unjust colonial rule (parallel to the albeit violent approach to rebelling from the British by the American revolutionaries in the 1770s) was such a heroic act that he, like Nelson Mandela in South Africa, would be revered in the country and therefore his non-violent, peaceful views would have somehow “stuck.”
What I learned is that this history is much more complicated. I had long recommended to my students as one of their summer reading options that they read Joseph Lelyveld, The Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India (New York: Vintage, 2012). So I knew the story from Gandhi’s perspective: great vision and great disappointment with what happened in India and the tragedy, of course, of his assassination in 1948. Before going to India, I devoured Ramachanda Guha’s massive India after Gandhi: The History of the World’s Biggest Democracy and realized that the picture was indeed more complex.
Ah, politics. From the very moment that India gained its independence in 1947, the partition of India and Pakistan soured the non-violent, peaceful philosophy (coupled with the post-World War II liberation movements and ends to colonialism worldwide) that helped to usher in independence. So even though the revered Gandhiji’s face is on all the currency and often his portrait appeared on posters marking classrooms I visited (although—and notably—largely in the tribal schools), the fact that India’s independence was not entirely peaceful and that the partition has led to ongoing instability in the northern area of India, particularly over the disputed Kashmir and Jammu regions, is an indication that Gandhi equals independence equals non-violence AND peace is not an accurate depiction in the country. When I asked students about Gandhi, some referred to him as “the father of India,” while others referenced his belief in “Satyagraha,” or holding firmly to the truth. When I watched character or moral education being taught in Jamshedpur, Gandhi was not explicitly identified but many of the values—particularly the emphasis on duty and responsibility—were clearly Gandhian in nature. On the other hand, Gandhi’s emphasis on redistributing land and wealth, his emphasis on caring for the poor and eliminating castes received little attention in Indian schools or the Indian curriculum.
To what degree is Gandhi’s philosophy celebrated today? To what degree are Gandhi’s beliefs and disappointments (particularly over the division between India and Pakistan) taught today? This is less clear. While in Delhi, I visited the Gandhi Peace Foundation. Alas, they were largely a research and publishing organization, housing scholars conducting research on Gandhi’s ideas. The National Gandhi Museum in Delhi offered a photographic and documentary chronology over two floors on Gandhi’s life and achievements, along with an extensive library. My TGC colleague Maya Cunningham shared her photographs from a Gandhi ashram in Gujarat; her pictures were helpful in getting a sense of what people learn when they visit such sites. But these are historical sites rather than living, breathing institutions promoting action in the spirit of Gandhi.
Moreover, one of the shocking, though on reflection, perhaps not surprising things I learned in India was that Indian textbooks only minimally mention Pakistan and that the same is true for Pakistani textbooks on India. (This is not unlike the situation in Israeli and Palestinian textbooks.) Maya Menon, the founder of the Teacher Foundation, and her colleagues referred me to literature (and gave me a thumb drive filled with her writings) by Krishna Kumar, including her 2002 book Prejudice and Pride: School Histories of the Freedom Struggle in India and Pakistan, which compared the textbooks. I found additional comparisons online and, thanks to Maya, learned about an ongoing project in India, The History Project, which is in the process of rewriting textbooks to offer a more balanced and thorough accounting of the partition.
Maya also suggested that I look at the Indian national curriculum standards to see what I could find about the teaching of Gandhi (and related issues) and the emphasis on peace and non-violence in curriculum. She had me read through the Indian National Curriculum Framework (NCF) of 2005, prepared by the National Council of Education Research and Training. I’m glad she did, even though that is one massive document. The NCF explicitly calls for peace education and their words are worth noting:
The concern for equality and social justice, which refers to practising non-exploitation towards the have-nots, the poor and the underprivileged and creating a non-violent social system, is the hallmark of education for peace. Similarly, human rights are central to the concept of peace. Peace cannot prevail if the rights of individuals are violated. Basic to human rights are the values of non-discrimination and equality, which contribute to building a culture of peace in society. These issues are inter related.
Peace education is thus a host of overlapping values. Peace education must be a concern that permeates the entire school life – curriculum, co-curriculum, classroom environment, school management, teacher-pupil relationship, teaching-learning processes, and the entire range of school activities.
Hence, it is important to examine the curriculum and examination system from the point of view of how they may contribute to children's sense of inadequacy, frustration, impatience and insecurity. Also, the need to consciously counter the negative influence of the increasing violence around them, and its representation in the media, on the minds of children, and in its place promote a reflective engagement with more meaningful aspects of living an ethical and peaceful life. (4)
Great prose, but implementation? In my limited time in India, it was impossible to assess how much these ideas were implemented in classrooms across the country. Maya reported that it has been a work in progress but that there was much to be valued (and not reinvented) in that 2005 attempt at national frameworks. Certainly from a US perspective, we have much to learn from them.
In my hope to find an India-based partner-teacher with whom to work on furthering peace education at my school (core to my curricular unit as developed from TGC), I struggled. Maya was challenged to help me create a list of schools driven by Gandhian philosophy; as I contacted them upon my return to the United States, I found that many had moved away from such a philosophical underpinning. I did find one like-minded teacher in Jamshedpur, though at the Kerala Public School Kadma (not really a public school but part of the Kerala network of schools), and not at the school where I was based. I’ve been in touch with the school’s superintendent, Sharat Chandran, and the teacher, Mrs. Dita Saraswati, who teaches moral and character development at the school about possibly setting up a more formal online collaboration between our respective classes.
This is a much longer reflection on my research question that was requested. The short response to my rather elaborate research question is: it’s unclear. (At the very least, it’s complicated.) In looking at my experience in India through this lens, I definitely thought more deeply about what I teach, what I could learn from the Indian educational system, and what is aspirational in education in both nations.
