An Education Liberation

Life's greatest ironies are usually the most unnoticed incidents.Affecting life in no small way,the individual concerned is not supported by the society.Social acceptance of crime is the most worrying face of immorality.The great and largely written rich-poor divide is a consequence of the same.The poor has been subjected to long standing traditions of exploitation by the rich.Not until very recent economic liberation did poor ever question the masterly behaviour of the rich.Was he born to be subject?Or it was just a state of perpetual mindset to serve the rich.Neither for sure,when opportunity was created,many entrepreneurs broke away from generations of poverty to create their own class.What forced them to make such a path for oneself.The need to sustain or food.Certainly not.They were feed atleast as much was required to sustain.What was important that they dreamed beyond.They dreamed to live the life of the ruling class.And they put in effort,tremendous.If that wasn't enough,and it wasn't,as a matter of fact,they went in to challenge the law.The astronomical figures of corruption post 1991 era can somewhat be related to that challenge.But it was not evil.That was not just greed pushing them up.They had to expand their feet beyond the sheet.The law certainly allowed them to do so but the existing pattern of governance did not.They paid to grow.Decades of insecurity had given them much will-power.They just wanted growth,whatever be the price.New scope of business was flourishing with no previous jinx in competition.The sky was the limit.And what did the rich do.They too realized the change.Little late,bot not too much.They too joined the loot.Country was flourishing as far as economy was concerned.But the loot.In the bygone era,rich exploited the poor.It had the approval of society.So called Robinhood looted the rich,but not the whole society paraded with them.Not even the working class supported them.But,yes,few stood strongly by them.Not for their method of earning,but for the struggle against the rich.Few resorted to evil tactics,apart from looting the rich,they started ruling the common folks.But this was loathed away.And one was providing this light to the society of what is to be approved and what discarded away?It was a large variety of people.Lawyers,engineers,doctors,priests,people whom the society accepted not for their money but for their knowledge.This class of individuals have gone intellectually bankrupt would be a fat-fetched suggestion.On taking a closer look,something entirely different and deeply saddening have happened.They no more enjoy the confidence of commoners.Money is the new patriarch of society.Wether its the rich or the Robinhood,it no more matters.Who is making more is all everyone is respecting.By everyone,I mean the so-called light of the society.Rest are just following suit.Or does the reverse has happened.People have started worshiping money and the professionals have no escape but too follow the trend.You can't be sure of any of the aspect.May be both factors are working together.But certainly the losers the professionals.There hard earned impression built by generations of learnt achievers is being wasted in earning simply some coins.The onus of the retarded position could simply be put upon them.Why in the first instance did they support the rich and ruling class and discarded the rebel looters.Certainly some drastic and narrow interests played upon their mind.They have paid the cost undoubtedly.What else do they deserve,certainly,some bits of glory of the bygone era.Yes,we certainly need to restore back their light.The society has strayed away from goodwill.Restoring the old system wont certainly help.How could it,if it failed once,a repeat can not be ruled out.What is required is liberation.'Liberation' the term that defined the high flowing economy,the term which led to a change in years of class struggle and which is making money the new God of social morals and meanings.Liberate the professional class,not just from economic slavery but make it a more free and fair stage like economy.Allow everyone to compete and rise above the ashes.Then only they could take the driving seat in the society and economic prosperity goes together with economic boons to fulfill ambition of a modern and better society.Providing reservation is like providing crutches.Need is to be creating opportunity.Provide good quality education one and to all.Government free-ship programs like Sarv Siksha Abhiyan or RTI is chasing the dream but in limited scope.Creation of a HRD mega-scheme is the need of the day.Education must be accessible by those willing.Free education should be the right of a talented candidate.The resources required for higher education should not be too tough to yeild but it must come knocking on a deserving door.The product of such institute will certainly make the right balance between money and ethics.The class struggle will continue,of course,but the rules of the game will change.The struggle of class should not be the sole struggle,it must give make way for the clash of human mind.A India of dream will certainly be shaped,certainly by a few,but the best few encompassing the whole hues of society.

  1. well one thing I felt, in india its not the case of poor working for the rich...more than that its the case of caste n religion limiting the poor to poverty n not letting him/her speak away with talent...although time is changing now a days
