“An uneducated Indian is not a free Indian. India’s education system remains trapped in regulations that reward compliance over learning and scarcity over opportunity. The solution to exam leaks, coaching factories and unemployability is not more licensing, but more supply. We need more schools, more colleges, more competition and more education entrepreneurs. A 21st-century education must not only impart knowledge but encourage questioning. India does not need fewer cooks in the kitchen; it needs more cooks, more recipes and fewer bureaucrats guarding empty plates.”

- Manish Sabharwal, The Indian Express, (2/6)

"The larger issue is not political but intellectual. No serious scholar argues that Indian Knowledge Systems begin and end with Sanskrit; rather, Sanskrit served as a connective layer linking diverse philosophical, spiritual and regional traditions. While historical exclusions must be acknowledged, the answer is wider access to knowledge, not rejection of inherited traditions. India’s deeper challenge is the rupture colonial education inflicted on its knowledge culture and the tendency to separate Sanskrit from the living traditions around it. The IKS movement is not a triumphalist celebration of the past but a serious effort to rediscover, debate and revive India’s knowledge traditions, despite the inevitable exaggerations and political appropriations that accompany such a process."

- Swati Ramanathan & Ramesh Ramanathan, The Indian Express, (8/6)
