Shankar Menon is the pen name of Dr. K. Sankaran.
Dr. Sankaran is a management educator. He passionately believes that the dissective minds created by contemporary education is hugely responsible for the divisive minds we see in families, societies and nations. According to him to heal ourselves and the earth we need have an integral pedagogy that is unitary in nature. Such a pedagogy would unify, among others, analysis with synthesis; causal reasoning with analogical reasoning; and specialization with discursiveness. Ultimately, it would even be able to narrow the psychological distance between the self and the other.
He believes there is something like an Indian mind that is capable of achieving this integrality. But before achieving this, there is a prerequisite of integrating a sense of completeness of the self with a sense of urgency to make amends with the past. Such a process will necessarily be of the spirit and will be spiritual. The Indian mind, according to him, is eminently suited for this which is currently, in an Aurobindoian sense, shrouded in ignorance of this capability.
The author has degrees from IIT, Kharagpur, IIM Bangalore and Kent State University, Ohio, USA. He worked several years in the corporate world and was also on his own before finding his real calling in higher education. He is currently Director, Justice K.S. Hegde Institute of Management, Nitte, Karnataka, India.
