The Sciences and the Arts in the University
In this chapter there is further development of the theme of the Anglicist–Orientalist debate in India with reference to education, this time with particular reference to the modern university as it exists in India and elsewhere. There is an outline of the Gandhian recasting of the Anglicist–Orientalist debate and the plea for a third way of vernacular education. Issues of creativity and innovation in science, the relationship between teaching and research, the sciences in the arts and the arts in the sciences, the life-cycle of a teacher, job opportunities and job satisfaction, issues of the third world and of swaraj are some of the subjects dealt with here. The final focus is on the University of Delhi, which is treated as a case study.
