ABSTRACT
The oldest recorded higher education institution in the world, Nalanda Mahavihara, which began in the early fifth century, was the pride of the Indian subcontinent that served thousands of students from around the world. The notion of “educational democracy” is a necessity in the educational sector in both US and Bangladesh today, as the progression of academia is on a similar path and trajectory in both nations. Latour is advocating for a definition of science that includes the reconfiguration of systems where the voices and knowledge of non-traditional scientific communities, human and non-human, are accounted for in the development of a new discursive space that does away with the “old regime”. The youth’s success in building participatory networks necessitates the importance of reflecting on some deeper issues of understanding some of the limitations of this concept that builds upon seemingly uncomplimentary theoretical trajectories.
