It’s really a hard time for me to educate these innocent aspirants of professional graduates. They have a circle which was formed and shaped by their kitten school outdated soooo called masters/Gurus (these people called SIR by students due to imperialism. I am afraid of these imperialism shadows, still in the roots of Indian culture especially in education system). The soo called sirs and student never use their brain to think since we have n number of guides published by cheap marketing publishers with great designs on cover page in the markets to gain only marks in the examinations, not the brains. Our up growing people habituated to buy these books and also became dependant along with soo called masters. The sirs teach only subject in the prescribed words of text books and never go apart from that as they concerned it as illegal and integrity issue. They teach in nontraditional pattern. These kids became frizzed like a cool winter in Kashmir Lake because they never get an opportunity to think and analyze themselves. They grow up with a great negative motive that everybody on the earth has taken birth to cheat each other; this is due to privatization of education and non-reformation of Government teaching pattern in India. When I enter into class, they stare at me. They think that I came to cheat them! (As many outsourcing educational institutions already cheated them along with their school/college). They never give their ears to me. They scan me with their looks. The educational institutions speak about Global parameters and never maintain the global attitude.
Education is business here!

| Time Table of a student |
Morning 7 to evening 8:30 they engaged with reading and writing. A day starts with study and ends with study. I didn’t see any kind of recreation or self management of time here. Parents and teachers never give them time to think and ink or to play.
Let me scribe you a day life of a student who goes to private school: (provided by a student who study in local private English medium school)
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru told that the country’s destination was in the class room. Teachers should educate students. Education not in the sense of recitation. It is that – where our students get enlightenment of life and knowledge, where our students know the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

Many years ago Tagore made a great prayer to God:

| Rabindranath Tagore |
“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”
This is Tagore’s prayer! Still echoing in the streets of our villages.
The objective of education is to know the difference between knowledge and wisdom!
Readers! I will post the continuation of this writing on the same day of the next week.
