The educational process appears to be a dialectical process being the centre of generation of new knowledge, ideas and innovations and, therefore, it has a tendency to reflect upon political processes. Intellectuals produced within its corridors generally raise the voice of dissent, not only against the establishment, but sometimes against the existing social structure itself. Thus the relationship between education and polity is not unidimensional but a two-way traffic. Unveil the patterns of interaction between the polity and education, the interplay between education and social stratification and the interaction between the education and the process of modernization. Nepal, the magnificent, snow-clad and ancient Himalayan kingdom, is the focus of the work.

This book can be useful for a good reading for all those who are interested in the area of higher education''. Dr. Sneha Joshi, Review Projector, Vol. VIII, Nos. 10–12.
