it began when i first read Lord Macaulay's statement. here it is:
" I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and i have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief, such wealth i have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that i do not think that we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore i propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their culture and will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."
...and then i began to realise how powerful this man's vision was. Each and every objective in this statement has been accomplished. And Now the more i observe, the more i realise the how this "poison" is running through the veins of this once Great country called "Bharat"...manifestations of this vision i can see at every step - starting from my home,in school, in Indian organisations, on the streets, everywhere i can see...
The second thing that was, the seed of the storm is something i read in an exhibition by HBCSE- Homi Bhabha centre for science education.
In the 1960's American scientists were worried about the state of education in America. They set up a committee of scientists and thinkers to give recommendation on educational reforms.
The main finding of the committee was :
"The knowledge of structure is far more important than mastering of facts and techniques" .
Till today in our entire academic life, what else have we been doing other than mastering facts and techniques?! "Kya aap paanchvi paas se Tej hain?" ,Kyon?
Guess thats enough to start with, for today.
One last thing i would like to mention. the manifestions of these as i see them form an immaculately consistent picture. everything fits like a charm! I wish to convey to ye, the picture exactly as i see it...
As the entire picture opens up, i will keep posting. Even though there is tooo much to say even now, lots of observations till now but will be back later...
Good Night! and God Bless!
