?????? ????????? is a thought-provoking and research-backed exploration of how systems of power embedded in family school and society hinder the holistic development of children. Authored by renowned educator and education researcher Venughopal this work questions why knowledge fails to transform into empathy and compassion among children. Using the foundational sciences—physiology psychology and sociology—the author argues that the root of the issue lies not within individuals but within the structural conditions around them.The book takes a bold stand: without democratic values being actively practiced in homes and schools a child’s personality and growth cannot be complete. Venu Gopal highlights how in the Indian context the existing education system often reinforces traditional power structures rather than fostering equality justice and emotional intelligence. This system he claims trains children not to be free empathetic individuals but to submit to inherited hierarchies.Combining wide-ranging studies and deep personal insights the author establishes the rare correlation between knowledge and power structures. ?????? ????????? offers an indispensable lens for teachers parents policymakers and anyone interested in understanding the intersection of education social justice and childhood development. This is not just a book—it is a guide for systemic change.
