Almost always there is an urge to push the caricature forward. I think I don't carry any but I want to push. What is lagging needs to be in contempt-ion. I am talking of our motherland and the form of forces its kids deal with. The kinds of sufferings we all grow with, we ourselves unknowingly get trapped in the vicious circle whose ends are met by power, name, money and compromise. Everyone carries a boiling pot over his head which has grown up with a belief of 'self' above everything. Middle age or later we all (can) identify this.
We are in 'race' from start of our lives, still we don't win medals at Olympics. Government in 2009 guaranteed RTE - Right to Education to every child. It actually went wrong in clarifying to them that it is actually 'Race to Education'. It should have said that they don't have resources, so they will keep on checking at their check-posts, the Darwin theory - fittest will survive, others will perish; though they will never say they are exercising Darwin's theory in the name of inclusive growth.
Every time we see suffering around us, our heart burns but that is all in the way we are affected. Lakhs of kids work as laborers at tea-shops, restaurants, factories - Aren't they being deprived the right to live a meaningful life?
One thing is that we lack resources and other is mis-utilization. Right from primary education to PG level our system is flawed. Perhaps its the intermittent political advices/ encouragements that have ruined the system.
We do understand that we should have 'sports' quota for education of sportsmen whose attention gets diverted, but we forget and we don't heed to efforts of an 'open' category student, who has fought against things, proved his mettle - as the seat will go to someone who is not so fortunate(or otherwise?) to be born as his brother. Whether the debate for this means as an instrument for equalizing society will end/ or not, the system is here to stay and can't be changed over time for something or other as risks are tremendous.
For a while take a look at the credentials of saviors of our democracy, it proves everything. Either you will find foreign educated people, highly educated who entered politics in their college times or those who could hardly pass secondary examinations and are there because they exercised power in wrong doings and hence rose.

The political will to go for change lacks and it is because of the stakes at risk. Everywhere system is like that the one who has reached some position will try to save it -- no matter what the absolute expectations are. In a way you can't blame someone who is playing in his comfort zone. The entrepreneurial wave so much talked about in administrative circle seldom shows here.
The one who fights for change keeps on fighting and one day he relents, though the cause is just but he is taking policy-makers job to himself and why would latter part with his 'responsibilities'? Policy makers do have some rights - Right to accumulate wealth, Right to awe in the power they exercise and Right to remain fit. Remember.. Darwinism?
