3 Idiots, an eye opener

3 cheers to Aamir Khan for 3 idiots. Aamir has taken a dig at present education system where the students have to memorize & then to reproduced the things in 3 hours. Further rich students get spoon feeding in tution classess. In short , the present education is based on Ratta Maro principle. IITians who study engineering & then take up the jobs in banks. Parents force the children to study the subjects where the students don’t have any interest..

The student who score higher marks are supposed to be meritorious. Really speaking, a tribal who is working in the forest is more talented who has to face difficult conditions for survival. The carpenter, the electrician , the plumber are much more talented & skillful who are doing practical work. But our society gives least importance to them. The English speaking MBA graduates are offered unimaginable hefty salaries which widens the rift in the society. These people are proficient in numerical & are highly theoretical. This terminology is known as merit. The proponent of merit are against the reservation for SC/STs. They are speaking for merit of Ratta. Reservation provides level playing field to weaker sections which is required for betterment of society.

  1. As far as issue of practical knowledge vs theory is concern,i guess both are equally important,half knowledge is always dangerous,regarding reservation is concerned it should be based on financial background and not on caste,as it will help the people who cant afford education due to lack of funds!
