Indutai Katdare on How to Raise Wise, Rooted and Resilient Children

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Indutai Katdare—an educator, thinker, and torchbearer of India’s civilisational values—to explore what went wrong with our education system and how we can fix it.

She takes us on a journey into the ancient Gurukul system, where education wasn’t just about marks or degrees, but about shaping character, building resilience, and nurturing a sense of dharma. In contrast to today’s schools that often produce disconnected, anxious children, the Gurukul system was deeply rooted in the realities of life and the values of our land.

Indutai speaks about the dangers of Macaulay’s legacy, the loss of cultural grounding, and why returning to our roots is no longer a choice – it’s a necessity. She explains how the home is the first school, how storytelling and mother-tongue education shape a child’s worldview, and what parents can do to raise children with strong moral and cultural foundations.

If you’ve ever felt that something is missing in how we raise and educate our children, this conversation offers clarity, insight, and a way forward.
