It is actually the other way around. 3 Idiots shows how corrupted and ego-based our education system is where students are taught only to mug up books for marks. It shows how inquisitive minds and enthusiastic youth that want to explore, discover and invent beyond the norms of books are suppressed and intimidated by the older generation's lack luster dodos who themselves failed at innovation.
And none of this is imaginary. Our current education system is still corrupted by old ego maniacs who have no concept of invention, innovation, research, freedom to question and explore further facts. It is because they fear that if the children question and discover reality, then the oldies' dominance will fade away and push way for a new era.
Unless the oldies of 2 generations before, ruling the educational law bodies and power bodies snuff it out, it would be very difficult to get new and relevant thinking in the minds and hearts of people.
This is ironic considering that during ancient India's times, our people were thousand times more liberal and encouraging towards inventions and discoveries of that time which led to flourishing of arts, culture, language and heritage, compared to the imperialistic and close-minded people of post-independence India.
