Independence day

Happy independence day!!
Once more lets wish each other happy, prosperous and wealthy life. Celebrate the moment in remembrance of what we have been enjoying today, had been imagined and worked out by the legends. We enjoy freedom of ideas and believes, expression, religion, etc. These are still enjoyed by us, but every generation has to bring a new kind of freedom which is the demand of the time. The freedom we had got, have we been able to distribute it equally to our fellow countrymen? This is the question to be asked by the past legends.

Capitalism divides the rich and poor and exploits man from a man, no doubt, and capitalistic society have now become inevitable. Its not only matter of choosing between socialism or capitalism or any such other ideologies, but to explore the possible ways to distribute the resources and individuality of Indianhood in more indiscriminate manner.

Education system has remained to be the mainstream subject of contemplation despite advancement in the higher education system. Conditions of lower classes are still pathetic.
Almost all school kids and forced to stay in schools and subjected to the fate of irresponsible teachers. Private schools are no good in rural areas.

Once I happened to visit a Senior secondary school nearby a year ago. I wished to know about the students urge in study and teachers awareness and spirit in teaching. After inquiring few students, I realised that there are few students who wanted to know the path of success but they find nobody to guide them. No task can be accomplished without an inspiration.

I came to know that teachers, the future makers, rarely come to classes. Those who come have got abysmal kind of training as they read the books and make students copy without even sparing a small attempt to understand what they are going through. They have been doing it for several years. Few students who mug up score well. But they are confused thereafter what to do next.

The option of taking maths and doing engineering is the predominant and popular option (or compulsiveness). There is at least some hope in it whereas other areas are not utilised despite being good. Economics has been in demand much more than it was before. In industrial era too there can be other paths also which can be harnessed well if students coming out of schools and colleges are counseled properly.

I wish the new generation takes up the tasks which have been remained and have been newly developed for the sake of new and fresh freedom.
