Gurukul 5.0 is not a story about a school.It is a story about a civilization remembering how to think again.Set in a near-future India where education has become a corporate assembly line and artificial intelligence predicts human potential before it awakens, Gurukul 5.0 follows a quiet rural experiment that dares to challenge the system.Here, ancient Gurukul wisdom meets quantum AI-not to create obedient workers, but conscious thinkers. Children learn without fear of failure. Teachers guide awareness, not careers. AI becomes a seeker, not a master. And knowledge refuses to be owned, ranked, or sold.As the movement grows, it threatens the foundations of employment economies, corporate control, and national education policies. Surveillance follows. Crackdowns begin. Teachers are arrested. Classrooms disappear. But learning does not stop-it goes underground.Through resistance, sacrifice, and transformation, Gurukul 5.0 asks urgent questions for our time: What is education for? Who owns knowledge? Can intelligence exist without obedience?And what kind of future emerges when children are taught to think-not comply?This is a philosophical novel for readers who believe education is not preparation for life-but life itself.
