To be literate opens up amazing
possibility and then with education these possibilities are fructified. The more
inquisitive you are more aware you become and with awareness comes
understanding. Once you understand you are free. You are human. Now imagine a
world where people are free humans. Education therefore has ushered in cataclysmic
changes through heightened awareness of nature and natural laws, and channelizing
these into products that augment sense and comfort. It has made us understand world
much better and given us deeper insight into nature of things, and some societies
have been able to nurture these possibilities into egalitarian space and seep
these into individual conscience to make the world a better place. However these
cannot be said of all the societies. Education was persistently targeted by
entrenched barbarians to have control over narration, to morph their insecurities
on to common people and use these to exploit. White christian racist, monster
mullah’s barren world, casteist Indian’s putrefying pit, and now, inanities of
market controlled irresponsible hedonists who coalesce these immorals into unethical
to tap these as opportunities of sacred traditions, nurturing lowest
denominator as successful traits to catch eyeballs into money making spin. All
these are compelling contemporary examples of how to loose humanity into dreary
minds of dead habits, these parasites are detrimental to potential of societies
while demeaning each individuals. They are not only a threat to humanity but is
increasingly clear survival of human race itself.
For casteist feudal effete education
became another ritual, devoid of any possibility it is inculcated with all the primitiveness
intact and nuances appropriated. Values of education is cunningly undermined as
vomit of answers to questions to earn marks with all the pointers of ritual placed.
To earn marks is hence paralleled to earn money therefore blessing, everything
else is incremental possibilities that education posits to this primitive society.
In this putrefying pits the litters find their salvation, there are hundreds
and thousands of educational institutions competing to take it to new levels of
substandard (while those better attuned to rituals seek blessing through IITs, IIMs…at
sniffing distance from all-encompassing greatness of Indian culture) while
teachers with sick purifying minds survey the scene. Education is rarely seen
as enhancing cognitive skills, ethical sensibilities or historical understanding.
The stampede to seek blessing is emulated with each jostling without finding
any reason to pause and contemplate the utter ludicrousness of it. Even if some
rare souls, brought up in egalitarian value system that is persistently
thrashed out, does use his/her faculties for critical look at the overwhelming degrading
system (very much nurtured by mediocre effete elite, bunch of lawyers who negotiated power from
british at a huge cost for common people) they will be isolated and dealt. There is a
stampede for blessing that is being orchestrated by cunning crude cannibalizing
on people. They prescribe auspicious time and occasion for zombies to stampede. They have decimated the immense possibilities of education and reduced it to
another ritual, the nuances carefully worked to capitalize on the advantage.
It is this degraded context –that
is meant to replicate rituals, which has reduced education to meaningless
process. It is indeed cleverly meant that way, to remove any possibility or challenge.
To be just literate and seek salvation within the pit, even that is devalued by
least of investment or concern for education, decrepit schools, devious ritualistic teaching, and substandard
teachers while hapless parents ardently hold education as salvation from misery.
They are constantly failed and cheated, they get trapped in the inanities of mediocres.
It is therefore not the matter or substance that is important but the way it
said, indeed the language. Instead of education it is meant to dissuade and degrade. The ucharan
shudhi has sought many squatters to show high level of scrotum scratching camaraderie
as they hobnobbed with british to work out and establish English as not only competence
but clear hint at liberal values. Hence the amazing surplus of competence that
is in possession with liberalism as add on, all dealt in increasing expressions
of humility and carefully inbred humbleness –that is a study in itself. The limited
intellect that works on inanities constantly undervalues, hence the state of Indian
education and the monstrosities it creates as successes. They have absolutely
no understanding of meaning of education or the possibilities it offers. They see
India as exploitable resource while Indians are to be consumers, like a pious
devotee attuned to inanities of rituals with highest exaggeration as beholders
of universal peace though incapable to even climb out of putrefying pit. Education
in this part of the world only shifts the context (with all intention to appropriate) and the nuances are always alert to possibilities of blessing. It is how
parasites value the prospect of education and ensnare to feed on common people.
