HEGEMONIC DISASTER
What a royal mess and recipes of social disasters our elites
carved out in the twentieth century. In this game of power and
nationalist hegemonic discourse of the millions remain
marginal to the construction of histories and setting of
nationalist agendas.

LITERATURE REVIEW
ENGLISH LANGUAGE

A greater equity in the distribution of educational

opportunities enables the poor to capture a larger share of
the benefits of economic growth, and in turn contributes to
higher growth rates. In contrast, large scale exclusion from
educational opportunities results in lower economic growth
and persistent income inequality.
