DESCRIPTION:Most often contemporary discussions about the ‘public’ and
  the ‘private’ in the context of education remain focused on their dis
 tinct source of funding\, ownership and management of educational institut
 ions. Further\, in such discussions\, ‘state’ and ‘non-state’ are 
 treated as homogenous and synonymous with ‘public’ and ‘private’ r
 espectively. These deliberations assume that these categories have a singu
 lar and unchanging meaning\, are mutually exclusive binaries with strong b
 oundaries and have no internal plurality. This paper undertakes a historic
 al interrogation of the meanings\, varieties and interactions of public\, 
 private and education in India from the colonial period to the period befo
 re 1970s. It examines how categories of public and private were deployed i
 n colonial India and locates public and private schools and actors in rela
 tion to larger social processes and forces.
