This article discusses Paulo Freire’s contributions in India and his connections with the neo-humanist philosophy proposed by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, a perspective that has been little explored. It also deals with the internationalization movement that Freire forged in exile until he arrived in India. It draws on woks by Freire, interviews and articles that address his experience in India, works by Sarkar and internationalization scholars. Freire identified many cultural differences, emphasizing the need for an educational project committed to the liberation of oppressed castes and the participation of the oppressed in the process. His dialogue with non-governmental organizations strengthened local educational experiences of liberation, especially in rural areas. Freire and Sarkar are ontologically connected by announcing a praxis focused on social transformation, anchored in a universalist, sustainable and socially just vision, in defense of a liberating education, based on interculturality, ethics, science, philosophy and spirituality.
Keywords: Paulo Freire. Educational experiences in India. Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar.
