"Indiqué sur la jaquette : The Doon School Quintet is an intimate study of India's most prestigious boy's boarding school, located in Dehra Dun in Uttaranchal. Sometimes called "the Eton of India", Doon School has nevertheless developed its own distinctive style and presents a curious mixture of privilege and egalitarianism. It was established by a group of Indian nationalists in the 1930s to produce a new generation of leaders who would guide the nation after independence. Since then it has become highly influential in the creation of the new Indian elites and has come to epitomize many aspects of Indian postcoloniality."
