Spiralling through to the depths of Hell

Call it a burning thought or what you will. But I just cant stop thinking of how we are allowing the children of this land famous for Aryabhata and Sushruta to become apes of cultures that are alien to us and trained machines that do as they are told.

It is no mystery why we have been reduced to doing jobs that are too menial for the "cultured and intellectual" people of the west. We have stopped allowing the individual to think. It is large scale death, plague that is eating to the centres of our brains.

My brain tells me that we are doing wrong. That we are allowing ourselves to be trapped in this abyss. Will the people in this country ever wake up? Whatever happened to morals and values. What happened to thinking, functioning brains. What has happened to us? Why are we so blindly walking into this trap? How are we going to guide the next generation. Is this the legacy we want to leave for our children? That we were a stupid lot who ended up making our lives as well as everyone else's lives miserable?

The reason why English has become so widely spoken? : Because it picked words from every other language and adopted them, made them a part of it.

The reason why USA is making rules for the rest of the world: Because it accepts things that are new with greater ease. (No, I am not in favour of US or its policy. Just stating a fact)

The reason why India is still "developing", still filled with ignorance, still a slave of the west, still stationary and still groping for its right place on this planet : because we take what is easiest to take - immoral behaviour, we run away from anything that is difficult, we look at something new with suspicion and try to trample over those around us who may try to prove our convictions wrong.

I keep asking, what stops this country from going ahead. I never can answer this question with any other answer. The answer is always the same: our children are not taught the right way, the right things.

I desire deeply that someday a magic wand is waved over this entire world and everyone suddenly realises how important children and childhood are and treat them right. It is such a mystery to me, how people can turn a blind eye to the needs of children, how they can remain unconcerned about their plight. This country is making grave mistakes especially in how it cares for its children. We are diving deeper into hell this way.

I suppose we need a system where we are encouraged to question and think out answers for ourselves. Sadly lacking in our educational system. I think the reason is not far to look for - you mention it yourself: "we run away from anything that is difficult, we look at something new with suspicion and try to trample over those around us who may try to prove our convictions wrong."

But being an eternal optimist, we also have people like Kalam who are doing their bit to 'ignite minds'. After all, they have survived the same 'system'. We have to look at their secrets of success and to translate it to the remaining 99.99% of the population...

Keep typing...
