“Be it stressing on the importance of Indian languages, the need to stay connected with the nation’s civilizational strength and rich heritage, walking in step with the rest of the world in science and technology and shaping Indian Education in a manner that it would appreciate the best of all religions rather than be totally cut off from them, Mookerjee’s insights on education were essentially to facilitate the rediscovering the Indian mind.”

The modern Indian scholar must have the training and the vision to connect our ancient history and civilisation with our present needs and conditions, and to suggest rules of conduct and formulate an outlook on life which the Indian society of today can worthily accept.
