This book is culmination of a desire to sketch the overall school education system in Kashmir in the light of gigantic process of globalization which has cast its shadow on every aspect of life everywhere from individual life style to national policies and priorities. Kashmir too is witnessing these changes which are documented in the book. Besides, comparing educational inputs of government and private schools in Kashmir an attempt is made to enquire into why education is not a fundamental right in J&K and how educational laws of the state are different from rest of India.
