EDUCATION ?R.K.NARAYAN.

R.K.Narayan is the most famous Indian novelist, his reputation as one of the founding figures of Indian writing in English. This paper attempts to explain the Educational view of R.K.Narayan as envisioned in his novels. He carried an untiring crusade against the memory based Indian System of Education throughout his writing career. Narayan was of the opinion that he resented anything that cramped the soul and believed in return to an educational system based not on rote learning but on story- telling, games for the young and appreciation of the Indian Culture. He did not fail to indicate his new notions of education. He aimed at an ideal education and it was possible only in a free atmosphere. Narayan was not only criticised the education system but also had given solution for the problem. He favoured the Gurugula System of learning, the age old system which gave opportunity to the students and teachers lived together, learning without books. It was sort of natural learning.
