Education and Character
A mail forward is going viral
with educational qualifications of Ministers of HRD / Education ever since we
got our Independence. Great luminaries with even better accolades of
educational qualifications. Target being our current Minister of HRD &
Education being a 12th pass candidate. Allegations being that she
lied in some affidavits of her educational qualification. We have a Prime
Minister now, who was shy from declaring his marital status and something which
was declared only recently. So which is better? Someone who lacks character of
acceptance of his marital status, is now going to run the country, or someone
who is not a graduate and ‘maybe better off in character’.
What are the educational qualifications
of all the jokers who are in Parliament? What is the character displayed in Parliament?
Chairs being flung, idiots getting into the well of the house, missiles of
microphones pulled and flung, stalling proceedings of the house, watching
pornography on their cell phones, enjoying subsidized food at rates
unbelievable, and having a swell of a life at tax payers cost. Is this all fine
‘even presuming’ all of them are educated? What have all the ministers prior
holding the portfolio of HRD / Education done for education? Are our
professional qualifications even recognized globally? Our Doctors are not recognized
in Europe or America and are made to go through additional local qualifications
of the country for them to practice.
Is our education system vocational
based? After ten years of schooling most of the students till date do not know
what to do and it is herd mentality of college education which does not
guarantee any prospects. It’s only a very thin wafer crust and many a times the
privileged that get into professional colleges and make a career, and most of
them, who would just want to look abroad and have no values of character to
contributing to the nation. Some of ones who stay back their lack moral values
and we have cases of Doctors running sex determination test / abortions /
kidney trading, etc. Engineers who compromise and we have the state of roads
and infrastructure we are living with. Only place where there is efficiency is
the government sector, where there is excellent efficiency of corruption.
Where is research in our country
happening? Which technology innovation can we think of where we are exporting
to the world? Once a self-sufficient country in food, today we have to even
import food. Our defense sector is ‘dependence sector’ on imported technology.
So where is all the education gone when we had great intellectuals heading the
HRD / Educational Ministry till yesterday. Today the current HRD / Education Minister’s
qualification is questioned, as to what can she do when she is not adequately qualified?
What are the qualifications of some of the Ministers who hold key
responsibilities? It is not just only qualifications that can judge the
capability, but it is three things more prior, and that is Character, Responsibility
and Integrity.
We have had all this while
murders, rapists, thugs and even idiots from inside prison running some states
in our country. We have had ministers who have managed Sports Ministry. What
sporting achievements can we boast of in the International sporting arena? We
opiate on cricket which is tainted and tarnished with match fixing. We have
other sporting events where players don’t even basic facilities. Whatever
sports is now being today promoted, is more from the private sector, which is
purely another expansion into their businesses.
We have a ministry looking into
Child and Women welfare, when child labor is rampant and rape news today don’t
even stir the conscience of the average man. We have a law ministry and cases
are dragged on for years. We have a ministry for forests and forest cover is
decreasing. We have a ministry for agriculture and farmers are committing
suicide and agriculture land is slurped for real estate in the alleged garb of
nation development. What development are we talking about when till date there
is no basic right to education, and we question the qualification of the HRD /
Education Minister?

Also, some our ministers, whether Congress or BJP have had degrees from foreign universities topped with an MBA. Look at Chidambaram and Pranab Mukherjee. They both have amazing degrees, but what is their achievement for the country and how successful have they been in all these years towards working for the Govt and for the people?
Nothing has changed since this blog.. in fact its worsened. Sensitivity and sensibilities are lost in focussing on winning arguments and defending one’s bias.. what pathetic state we have reduced ourselves to.. and ironically we are at our proudest of ourselves...
The ministers are the same which ever party comes in power. They jump from one party to another or are bought with huge sums of money. If you have a scam you join us you will be clean. The politicians don't care about you and me it is only them. What can they make out of it, how will it profit them. There is no one here to hear your plites. If anyone is doing wrong and he has connections you can't do anything. Political influence flourishes. This is the state of our politics weather they are educated or not it doesn't matter.

In a democracy
checks and balances can only be done though a strong and United opposition

Well said!!indeed a matter of great significance.Education is necessary but it is not the only one inorder to rule a country.Perfect leadership is nothing but a blend of all moral values where education is only one among those and not the only one.So a Government can be regarded justifiable provided there is a balanced proportion of all the required essentials.
