Someone rightly said “Only educated ones are free”. Education make people think analytically, but in 2020 education will be only available for the rich people. Fees of almost all the course even now are at the peak, no-one from poor are capable of giving their children’s good education. Few days back there was news in “Indian Express” & “The Hindu” newspapers that a medical student from Andhra Pradesh’s Govt. College dropped out because he wasn’t having fees to pay & now he was working in fields. See where he was going to be a doctor but ended with a farmer, alas!!!! This is not a unique story only in India, much such news comes daily but who bothers? Nobody bothers; Indian politicians don’t even have time to think over this. Only then will they think when they’ll stay here in India. Latest reports of India Today (Feb 18th 2008) showed who UPA Government’s ministers are spending cool time abroad spending millions of rupee. These are the people those don’t have proper funds for development of schools or for SC/ST students scholarships. “Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath spent 424 days on 72 trips outside the country, of which 27 days were spent on six personal visits. A cool 14 months spent outside India.” A day will come when these leaders will run (operate) India from USA’s beaches!! Shameful, isn’t it? Navjot Singh Sidhu MP of BJP can be seen only on TV serials!! These are the leaders those will carry forward our nation & will make true the dream of our Ex. President!! Kamal Nath is the leader who will establish new industries here in India. Do these leaders know A B C of industries, Factory Acts?? These political leaders have never let poor people know all rights that poor people have according to our constitution. Also here comes the power of voting system, but it’s also a fact that not much people exercise this right. If people didn’t made aware at right time there will be 0% voting one day in future as people have lost faith in voting as according nothing has changed till now. Merely on the basis of power of money these people are ruling over India. India was never a free country for poor SC/ST or other minority community people. Earlier they were under King/Queens, then under British & now working under political upper caste leaders & this sequence will continue even in 2020. Even if a student gets a scholarship that get sanction too late upto that student leave behind the education. So there remains is no meaning of allotting scholarships. Also not many students or parents know about the scholarships. Who has responsibility to make people avail these facilities? Isn’t it government’s responsibility? Why they are not bothered? Isn’t it showing that our own governments not interested in making India a developed nation? Upto 2020 the number of illiterate people will be more than it is now if governments didn’t take necessary steps towards it. We need to change all the above facts & people say there is a need to change the education system.
Upper caste people think Lord Macaulay for the bad education system prevailing in India. Which is not true, the thing is he gave chance to learn all irrespective of the caste & creed. That’s what hurt these upper caste people that Dalits are sitting with them now a day. Have these upper caste people ever given chance to learn Dalits? No never, nor they would have ever given. Or why they couldn’t courage to change the system even after 60 years of freedom if it wasn’t correct? Simply they are not capable of changing the system as no-one can digest change easily.
A recent survey, published on the Republic Day in a national newspaper, was equally revealing. The survey, had two teenage school students of Delhi, thinking Indira Gandhi was the first woman President of India, while another thought it was Sheila Dikshit and a B Tech student asserted it was Sarojini Naidu. This is considering that the question was not even historical in nature. It was about the present. When it came to history too they hardly did better. The B tech student when asked what was the significance of Republic Day, replied, “Long back something political happened on this day”!
Make students capable in technical skills that can lead them for earning, don’t load little kids like donkeys. Only bookish knowledge can’t lead for happiest life. Future till 2020 seems in dark again in this way if we continued loading kids with books only. About child rights India needs strongest actions; as the children are abused, exploited. They have suffered & will continue suffer in 2020 for high mortality rate (India has highest child mortality rate in world – reports of UNICEF), hunger, homelessness, working in hazardous conditions & poor chances of education. Education & Medical are two main things those needed to be given much preference. About 35,000 crores (approx.) rupee is collected in all over Hindu temples here in India. But where all this money does goes, nobody knows. If all this money is to be used in proper manner many problems can be solved but everyone is busy in filling up their own pockets. Dr B R Ambedkar has also pointed this in the manifesto for his “INDEPENDENT LABOUR PARTY” that at least 10% of the income of temples should be collected & should be spend on the EDUCATION & on HEALTH. Nobody bothered this. Poor people donate money there & that money is used against them in many ways & this trend will continue in the worse manner in 2020 also. Don’t you think India needs more schools, colleges than temples? Or doesn’t India need more toilets for women in villages than temples??
