These days in academics, government and the larger society, the National Education Policy 2020(NEP 2020) is being regularly discussed and analysed. One of the important objectives of the NEP 2020, particularly with respect to higher education, is to make it global. The question that arises is what does it mean to be global? In other words what are the evolving critical characteristics or elements that make a higher education system global? The next important question is, why do we need to make our higher education system global? This question essentially relates to the rationale and desirability of making our higher education arrangement global.
