Recenzii
“Dr Nidhi Gaur has written a delightful engaging and lucid book. It looks at children studying in a Gandhian school near Wardha. Her work shows us the viability of the extensions of Ashram life where everything is woven together. Marcel Mauss spoke of the "total social fact" where specialization, differentiation and knowledge are in an interactive mode. So also, Dr Gaur's work will show how therapeutic craft education is in modern schools.”
Susan Visvanathan was formerly Professor and Chairperson, CSSS, JNU, New Delhi.
“Nidhi Gaur's meticulous field work and analysis go into the depths of an old and important question about the impact of handicrafts on the mind and behaviour. This study looks at the school Gandhi had started at Sevagram and reveals to us the mystery of its continued success.”
Krishna Kumar, former Director, NCERT.
