Preferred term

multicultural education in India  

Definition

  • In India, the term multicultural gained currency in the 1990s and is linked to demographic realities and long-standing traditions. The term multicultural education is rarely if ever used, but since the establishment of the postindependence Constitution in 1951—and following two major reports on education in 1953 and 1966, respectively—there has been substantial attention to cultural pluralism and social equality in education.
