Educate


 Happened to read recently in an old famous book - wondering it was either 'Think and Grow rich' or 'The Magic of Thinking Big'. that the biggest University in the world is the Islamic University. The Christian's too introduced the concept of Sunday classes from them. Hindu's to had the Gurukuls which have vanished with time.  One of the agenda of introducing the present Education system in India was to get rid of the old systems and practises. 

This has been a boon and a bane. Good to know that today, Indian's are shining all around the world. But what is happening to India? Why is there so much of corruption and communalism - both in India and the world over?

If US has people across the world settling now, India was a land/country of vast diversity for a very long time, and within India, Mumbai had seen it for quite some time. We had Jews, Parsis, Christians, Muslims, who have come here long before the British. It is also said that, when British were in India we had unrests, but until they came, we had wars. 

Few things that I had been worried about and kept thinking for the past few days were:

  • A VVIP Muslim traditional  person with escort coming to the flat, saying looking for a flat for rent, and leaving soon, without meeting or talking to anyone, just going round - when asked, said he is a BJP member from Tamil Nadu, that kept all of us wonder stuck
  • When we had been to a beach last month, a day before Children's day, there were group of young people between 20-30 years around 20 people, 3 of them were standing on the shore, others were running at around 12 pm.
  • So many people working around - from North, for car wash, house help, when asked they do not have proper adhar card, they hesitate to speak the truth, who are they? Why are they hesitating to speak the truth? and some of them have angry what's app status. 
  • Why so much of drugs in news and young people being caught for it?
  • What is happening in Munnar with people in Sacred Caves and fire? 

We speak about Godhra riot all the while, but I wonder about the Mumbai attacks couple of times, and the Coimbatore attack, what is the reason for that?

Why anything violent done by them are pushed away, if in other country, we become Indian's who are not bothered about other countries, when something happen in India, people all over the world has the right to comment? Is it right?

What happened in Afghanistan and Bangladesh, not to speak of Pakistan. So Many people of every religion in India, why not in these countries? 

So what is education who is being educated and how is it done? Today is Whatsapp the biggest university? Has it overtaken the Islamic university, or people fear it will?
