This book chapter discusses Maori thinking and concepts such as Ubuntu, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, and Chikyu Minzokushugi. The book chapter examines the Ubuntu paradigm in Education. What was education like before colonialism? I shall go on to discuss the language situation both in Africa and in India. How have the European missionaries influenced the writing of African languages? It examines a recent Norwegian discussion on the role of universities. It deals with the question, who should decide on what to study and what to do research on? The universities should fight against the alienated scientists, the scientists who do not evaluate technology in terms of its effects on humans and the environment. The chapter is built on an invited talk given by Prof. Brock-Utne as an expert speaker at the conference of University Leaders of G20 countries at the Symbiosis International University  Campus, Lavale, Pune, India on 19th–21st of June 2023.
