Mandrake?
Come on pedanna.
Don't make such promises!! Just because others make a promise doesn't mean you should do the same!
I remember Bhai Zakir being different.
Yes, he was hardcore anti-BJP. But he did take part in discussions in other sub-forums too & that too before he started taking the plunge into political discussions..
A BIG THUMBS UP TO YOUR WORDS!
Our knowledge of our people can be seen by the way so many of them attack & mock our PM's foreign trips. They don't bother to know the good work he is doing.
Indian Education system is a joke(from primary to higher education) & potentially hurts the nation more than it helps
Most of our colleges are just degree producing factories which provide few industry required skills & disciplines leaving many graduates unemployed. I have seen arts graduates take up jobs like sweeping & cleaning because they couldn't get a job!!
It needs serious reforms! & add to that the mentality of the people.
I can make a VERY long post describing the problems & sailent points of our education system & everything wrong with it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coming to the middle-class mentality
People send their children to school to study to get into a good engineering/medical college after which they can get a good job, & if they aren't satisfied with the money, they can go & do management/MBA.
The primary aim is to get a good,well-paying job
Any like for humanities/commerce is strictly & efficiently dealt with, in most cases.(especially the middle class). A good example is my case.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't if I am a smart person or not I personally feel I am rash,foolish,lazy,stupid & good for nothign, everybody around me says I am smart. But if I was would I be doing so bad in my life?
I belong to a state & a people who are obsessed with Engineering & Medical. Any other option is looked down & laughed upon. One of my friends who is from Delhi told me that he feels very sad when he thinks of me & that unlike him who could do commerce in Delhi(which he enjoyed) & is doing well in life now. Being from AP, I had only 2 options in life which I would be encouraged to follow.
My parents forced me to do MPC in 11th & 12th in some coaching institute(FIIT#@$) eventhough I never had any love for Maths,Physics & Chemistry . I was more interested in History,Geography,Current Affairs,Mythology, Politics,Psephology,public policy & governance & surprisingly Computer Programming..
I screwed up my 11th & 12 (the worst years of my life) because I hated & despised what I did. I never got myself to like or show any interest in maths again. I even had suicidal thoughts from the suffering & pressure I was going through & landed up in some engineering college in Hyderabad(it's not bad, it's actually good but not among the elite or the best).But atleast I was doing CSE.
& now I feel I have screwed up my life & destroyed it , I have forgotten what it is like to work hard & enjoy the fruits of success(I just gave up in my 11th & 12th on myself & stopped working. Yes, I know it was shameless & wrong. )
& whenever I think of writing the civils,I wonder will a useless fellow like myself get through at all? & even if I get through won't I cause more damage than good to my nation if I become a babu..

Sorry for this personal rant.. just ignore most of it. I hope I made my point
My point is this
@Nilgiri Indian people are by nature weak & deficient & are told to think only about themselves, their caste,their community etc.
There is so much that we suffer from & need to work upon. But to solve a problem, we need to recognise it exists.
Look at the way we treat public property? We can keep our homes clean but not our nation. We actually need to have a swacch bharat abhiyan movement to encourage people to keep our nation clean
Nation matters during cricket,singing of anthem,attacks from Pakistan & China or on certain days(holidays)
Our only concern is ourselves , most of our middle-class are still stuck in survival mode & want their children to get a good job. Add to that our ghatiya & faulty education system.

This finally brought a smile to this face
