Abstract: Abstract This paper aims at comprehending the critical management accounts in a unique but one of the poorest states of India: Jharkhand; since all of the hegemonic critical management education derives from the Western business school curriculum. The paper is conceptual in nature, is based on secondary sources, and utilizes a historical approach and the authors’ regional familiarity. The authors, on the basis of the secondary examination of available information, propose that, utilizing the extant theories of critical management for bringing Jharkhand at an appropriately even level of self-sustainability and holistic development is questionable. Therefore, the need of the hour is to reduce the influence of the Western theories of management on the current business school curriculum in Jharkhand; and gradually, incorporate local knowledge in the same. The paper looks at the importance of decolonizing and indigenizing education from the point of view of a poverty-stricken region, and also, how this brings out the related difference in the definition of ‘critical’ for a region.
