A fresh video in some newspapers and news channels of private university students and some other students of other institutions from NCR participating in a protest march gave enough insight into the level of knowledge about what their march is about. It is just like those farmers agitating against Farm Bills but do not know Farm Bills or the students from Jamia Milia agitating against CAA/NRC but no knowledge about these acts.
They were
displaying bold placards but failed to explain the contents. Some of them even
failed to explain the sentences about the protests. The particular institution
and even the reason for the dissent march are irrelevant to the matter of the
video, the university and the students at the same time provided mirth and
laughter and ironically very sad and depressing, speaks volumes about the
majority of the university students today. They have degrees and certificates
but sans knowledge and awareness.
Students are
highly privileged in India. Their expenses, whims and fancies are borne by
their parents, college authorities and vote-hungry governments. These students
wear branded clothes but don't have wearing sense. They have expensive phones
but no phone sense and communication skills. There are crores of Indian
graduates, would-be graduates who do not know, the ability to think,
communicate, understand, analyse, and have problem-solving capabilities even
after completing twelve years in schools and three to four years in college.
This level
of incompetence and ill-manning is across India. There are few bright students
out of these billions of degrees and certificate holders. Now, there is a
tremendous shortage of successful startups, brilliant legal experts, surgeons,
inventors, professors, administrators, learned orators etc. The scenario is
very dim. Global and national surveys indicate that the majority of Indian
graduates are unemployable.
Why is this
situation? Most Indian students have very little access to education and high
resources. Their parents never motivate the children to work hard, read, write
and analyse. Parents and families hardly discuss books, general and current
knowledge, manners and discipline. Instead, they discuss new gadgets, phones,
market food, shopping, films, picnics, tourism, cricket, celebrity marriages,
parting etc. Families are on the phones all the time. This is the breeding
point of incompetency, bad manners, disruptive behaviour and intellectual
emptiness. They don't discuss education, newspapers, college or university
curriculum.
Watching
videos has become very popular with the students. Reading is not liked by them.
Most of them don't have books and writing materials. They don't want to do
mental exercises to read and write. To understand anything, one has to read and
write.
Student-friendly
rules, No Detention system, and Internal and Continuous Assessment/evaluation
are also responsible for the falling standard of the students. The internal and
Continuous Assessment/evaluation system is a fake and farce evaluation system.
Without any evaluation or assessment, almost all the students pass with high
scores. Such an evaluation system must be scrapped. Such a system produces
Educated Illiterates (across all standards). They have little or no
understanding of their curriculum and the world around them.
There are
many distractions. Everybody wants a good life. expensive phones, dating
friends, branded clothes, fast food, picnics, shopping and hanging out at bars
and restaurants. Addiction to social media is the biggest and most fatal
distraction. As a result, they are lost in the web of this artificial and
confusing world. Their mind has no space to think and understand the purpose
and meaning of life. A comfortable job with a handsome package is their only
goal. Most of them are just cyber coolies without any thinking capabilities.
There is no
focus and desire to excel in life. They focus only on an easy lifestyle. Due to
small family norms, parents keep on supporting their wards. Even some of the
modern students do not want to marry or have children due to fear of
responsibilities. This is the highest level of incompetency and insanity.
It is not
too late. Now stop this senselessness. Stop being distracted, intellectually
bankrupt and non-achiever. Think about the world, life, parents and family.
Create your space as a creative and productive member of the family and
society. Set and stay focused on lofty goals to achieve them.
Human
infrastructure is very important to develop a society. India has billions of
brilliant minds. They only need the aptitude to think critically and perform a
better future for themselves and society. If this attitude is not changed, It
may lead to colonised rule and slave mentality.
