dc.description	Contextualisation These research notes are based on my PhD study, which I am partway through. The study looks at the educational ideas of the Japanese educator Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) and those of Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) of India. In particular the study deals with the views of the above educators on ‘values’ in education and their role in opposing both the totalitarian values of National Shinto in Japan during World War II and the communal values that were being invoked during the same period by Hindu and Muslim political parties in India. The study then questions the relevance of the two dissident philosophers in the present-day context of the ongoing controversies that exist in history textbooks in both Japan and India, with respect to the representation of World War II in Japanese textbooks and the influence of Hindutva values in Indian textbooks.
