Includes bibliographical references and index.

This text makes attempts to understand the meaning and meaning making in school processes in India as active aspects of a very vibrant school culture. It is essential to unpack and unravel the rich and engaged world of student culture as it is constructed in school life. The influence of popular culture, the media and aggressive marketing of consumer goods all enter the school arena to compete with the more formal aspects of being at school and contribute to the creation of a unique school culture.
