Inspired by what she has found in the Mother's and Sri Aurobindo's writings and talks on education, the author has put together a list of twenty-six themes that should guide, shape, or be a part of an Indian national education programme. These themes, one for each letter of the English alphabet, speak to aspects of the essential Indian spirit and emphasise an education based on self-knowledge and self-discovery, a respect for India's heritage, an understanding of India's contribution to the past, present, and future of humanity, and a deeper connection with the diverse cultures of the world.
