Is there an education revolution taking place in India(the big cities atleast)?
Naveen Mandava seems to think so. The burgeoning of small private schools in the slums in Delhi, he believes is a rampant phenomenon. Wonder what the situation is in Mumbai?
I can't say I have seen this phenomenon in Bangalore. Poorly run Govt. Schools are still the target of the poor.
Anyway, I believe that the higher income families and companies must take initiative to send the children of a couple of their maids/workers to school(preferably girls and preferably to private schools). A mini civil society movement.

This is an excellent blog for those concerned about the Indian Economy and where it is headed. It has a bunch of highly qualified libertarians writing in.
