University Faces Persistent Cultural And Institutional Crisis

An essay argues that the university faces recurring institutional and cultural crises rooted in Western legacies, colonialism, and modern scientism, tracing transformations from medieval Catholic, Napoleonic and Humboldtian models to post-colonial Indian forms. It critiques linguistic hegemony, hyper-scientism, and the instrumentalization of indigenous traditions (Takshasila, Nalanda, Upanishads), and calls for actional inquiry to formulate native questions and reconfigure pedagogy and sensorium.
