The book examines the origins, development, achievements, and limitations of the D.A.V. movement. It explores whether the movement should be understood as modern, traditional, or a combination of both, while highlighting its wider impact on Indian society and the political landscape of the early twentieth century.
Ankur Kakkar is a scholar of modern Indian history and education. This book is based on his doctoral research submitted to the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg in 2018. His study brings historical research and educational history together to examine the D.A.V. movement in colonial Punjab.
The book tells the story of the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic movement, which began with the establishment of the first D.A.V. School in Lahore in 1886. It investigates the movement as one of the earliest major Indian responses to colonial education, examining its educational ideals, successes, failures, and social and political influence. The study also explores the tension between traditional Indian values and modern educational ideas during colonial rule.
