Abstract
The chapter discusses Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) in education that are in part the product of an informationalised social world and, in part, the civic sphere after structural adjustment programmes (SAPs). I discuss how educational action is transnationally organised. I present three well-known organisations that have been part of the transnational advocacy and diasporic networks, working towards fund raising and “giving back” by partnering with a wide variety of groups in India. The practices of the three diasporic organisations highlight the structures of educational action, which is drawn upon the assumption that education is fairly non-controversial sector for fund raising and education is central to India’s development. By examining the politics of such organising, I shed light on the ways in which educational remittances are depoliticised.
