Reviews

[The book] covers a wide range of subjects...Not a single aspect of higher education in India has gone untouched--ranging from student politics to contemporary challenges... The book should be read by everybody interested in higher education. It provides opportunities not only to reflect on the past and also to think about the future direction of higher education in India. -- Book Review, Vol 38, January 2014
