Abstract

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) was an influential philosopher, educator, and social thinker. He worked for women’s freedom and equality along with education. He said that education is not just about gathering information but making people aware of their own dignity and responsibility. The aim of education is the perfection of our life which is the matter of our hearts. His educational thought deserves special praise. Because his contribution to education was immense. His educational thought was developed based on his philosophy of life, awakened conscience, and social meditation concepts. According to him, true education is the development of the fullness of man’s inner being. In his philosophy of education, he gave his own views on women’s education and the education of marginalized groups. According to Swamiji if women can be empowered through education, they will be able to solve their own problems. It can be said that the development of a nation depends on educating its people. It includes the progress of women. Because men and women are like two wings of a bird. Regarding the education of the marginalized people, he said that if the poor people cannot be reached by education, then the education should reach the poor. He further said that the spread of public education is the root of all progress. He mentioned the mother tongue as the best medium of mass education. This paper analyzes Vivekananda's views on women's education and the education of marginalized communities.
