dbo:abstract

La Doon School est une école hautement sélective pour garçons située à Dehradun en Uttarakhand, Inde, fondée en 1935. Doon est un pensionnat accueillant environ 500 élèves âgés de treize à dix-huit ans. L'admission à l'école est basée sur un concours d'entrée et un entretien. Doon a toujours été classée comme le meilleur internat en Inde par The Times of India. Doon a toujours été classé meilleur pensionnat pour garçons en Inde. Bien que l'école ait souvent été citée comme « Eton of India » par des médias tels que la BBC, The New York Times, The Guardian, The Spectator, The Daily Telegraph, et Washington Post, il évite l'étiquette. Doon attire souvent l'attention, et parfois la critique, des médias pour l'influence disproportionnée perçue de ses anciens élèves dans des domaines tels que la politique, les affaires ou la culture indiennes. Dans les années 1980, l'administration du Premier ministre Rajiv Gandhi a été critiquée et étiquetée « Cabinet Doon », à la suite de la nomination de ses connaissances scolaires à des postes importants. L'école a formé un large éventail d'anciens élèves notables, notamment des politiciens, des diplomates, des artistes, des écrivains et des hommes d'affaires. Parmi les anciens élèves de Doon se trouvent le regretté Premier ministre indien Rajiv Gandhi, l'artiste Anish Kapoor , auteurs Vikram Seth, Ramchandra Guha et Amitav Ghosh, créateur de mode Tarun Tahiliani, alpiniste Nandu Jayal, médaillé d'or olympique Abhinav Bindra, et des militants sociaux et environnementaux, Bunker Roy et Lalit Pande.

The Doon School (informally Doon School or Doon) is a selective all-boys boarding school in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, which was established in 1935. It was envisioned by Satish Ranjan Das, a lawyer from Calcutta, who prevised a school modelled on the British public school while remaining conscious of Indian ambitions and desires.The school admitted its first pupils on 10 September 1935, and formally opened on 27 October 1935, with Lord Willingdon presiding over the ceremony. The school's first headmaster was Arthur E. Foot, an English educationalist who had spent nine years as a science master at Eton College, England. The school houses roughly 500 pupils aged 12 to 18, and admission is based on a competitive entrance examination and an interview with the headmaster. Every year boys are admitted in only two-year groups: seventh grade in January and eighth grade in April. As of May 2019, boys from 26 Indian states as well as 35 non-resident Indians and foreign nationals were studying at Doon. The school is fully residential, and boys and most teachers live on campus. In tenth grade, students take the Cambridge IGCSE examinations, and for the final two years can choose between the Indian School Certificate or International Baccalaureate. A broad range of extra-curricular activities, numbering around 80, are offered to the boys, and early masters such as R.L. Holdsworth, J.A.K. Martyn, Jack Gibson and Gurdial Singh established a strong tradition of mountaineering at school. The school occupies the former site of the Forest Research Institute and is home to diverse flora and fauna. Doon remains a boys-only school despite continued pressure from political leaders to become coeducational. Old boys of the school are known as 'Doscos'. Doon has been consistently ranked as the best all-boys residential school in India. Although the school has often been cited as 'Eton of India' by media outlets such as the BBC, The New York Times, The Guardian, The Spectator, The Daily Telegraph, and Washington Post, it eschews the label. Doon often draws attention, and sometimes criticism, from the media for the perceived disproportionate influence of its alumni in spheres such as Indian politics, business, or culture. In the 1980s, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's administration was criticised, and labelled "Doon Cabinet", following the appointment of his school acquaintances to major posts. The school has educated a wide range of notable alumni, including politicians, diplomats, artists, writers and businesspeople. Among the former pupils of Doon are the late Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, his son Rahul Gandhi, artist Anish Kapoor, authors Vikram Seth, Ramchandra Guha and Amitav Ghosh, fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani, mountaineer Nandu Jayal, Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra, and social and environmental activists, Bunker Roy and Lalit Pande.

... By 14 he should have learnt all the ordinary principles of social behaviour. He should know how to stand up and speak to a variety of different types of people – to his own mother, to someone else's mother, to his father, to his schoolmasters, to servants, to Mahatma Gandhi or to the Viceroy, and to do this without any self-consciousness ...At 17 must come another quality, less instinctive and requiring a maturer mind: he must acquire a capacity of judgement. ...
