Indian Geniuses

8th May, 2008

In an Indian parent opine, a child will be termed to be an all rounder when he excels in all streams of education. Note the usage of words EXCELL, EVERY and EDUCATION. These words emphasize that a child has to learn with or without interest the trends of today’s world such as cricket, skating, computer and latest item added to this kitty is spelling of obnoxious English words. This hapless expectation doesn’t stop with here, it also demands the infantile to bulge into a professional and win laurels for parents to boast off.
Preamble of constitution has words to protect the freedom of speech, rights of honorable citizens, sovereignty, etc. But has cast doubts in the minds of student for freedom to pursue their interest and nurture natural talents which might be out of box for today’s fashion. The nation which had been motherland of geniuses like Aryabhatta, Ramanujam, Rabindranath Tagore, Subhramaniya Bharathi, has only fingered number of Homo sapiens who had got world recognition in the past 30 years for their panoramic thoughts! Who is to be blamed for this cataclysm situation, the stereotyped theoretical education, or the education advisers of the nation, or the people itself?
“Awake, arise, the world needs you! “
