Oh we are talking something about staying long in memory. In this country nothing stays for long in the memory house. We are too busy to keep pondering about the govt we elected, the bus that has fallen from the bridge, the sexual abuse on a six year old and many a things. We are busy.....please dont ask me how.....we are busy
As a school teacher, coordinator and later correspondent I have traveled a long way. I have seen so many students and their parents. I observed lots of hundreds of parents over the years. My views are always said to be narrow and distorted. Yet a loyal following of students over the years continued.
The system in India is a manipulative cycle. Everything is so manipulative that you fail to recognise the real problem in your life time. Those who come out of this cycle and realize the happening try to put some order. Yet with a lot to bear almost all jump into the bandwagon at one or other time.As a social teacher I followed the history of many countries. The existence of such manipulation is evident every where. However in the west and the far east, some extreme revolutionary conditions forced the makers of the system to bring in certain radical changes to see to that some basic portfolios to function as per their real requirements.
But its here in our country the system which we live now is a refined version or a system that incorporated changes accordingly with the change of an era. The basics remained the same.Those who created wealth or who are well versed with the mechanics of wealth, postulated a golden principle---1)to create wealth create a cycle and safeguard it from power and revolution 2)to safeguard system from power ---keep power in pursuit of wealth 3)to safeguard it from revolution ---offer dreams to those on whose support revolutionaries rise and also take care to see to that the dreams become true..only to a certain extent. The inheritors of the creators of wealth changed themselves with times.Accordingly they welcomed new entrants into their fold but saw to that it never swells. Religion and science which can challenge the system and secure mankind, after a brief scuttle, compromised with each other. Today we live in such system where we are made to believe what the wealth maker wants us to believe.
Chaankya assimilated the support of "good" creators of wealth to stage a war against the Nanda dynasty. The role of education in creation of wealth as well as power was understood from that point of time. Education in India is so structured to support the functioning of the system with modifications whenever needed. To be simple--the creators of wealth in India realized the newer versions of wealth creation with the advent of Europeans. Hence they made the people in power to welcome them. Later they joined hands with them(how can you explain the wealthy states to be silent during the 1857 rising). Once made sure they are well equipped with the trends (the first cotton mill in India was established in 1854), they worked out to come out of the clutches of the British. They encouraged the freedom movement. The rise of Vivekananda and Co. worked out things in their favour. As the movement assumed revolutionary tendencies Indian National Congress was born which made the movement passive there after. The likes of vandemataram movement never reached the desired levels. The creators of wealth of Britain realized the dipping revenues from India and started to withdrew their investments from India. By 1947 the Indian creators of wealth won their freedom from the English.And they marched on.
Education is one of the prime sources of wealth. It generates human resource according to the requirements.The general desire of any human being is to accomplish good things for his child. It is here the population is cleverly tapped in. They are made to believe that "this" is very important for child. Here "This" has a wide meaning. In a simple example a school bus needs to be sold. To sell this a school is needed. Now I am not going to manufacture one bus. There will be many. So I need many schools. Why should schools buy? Offer them Income in form of Transport and newly added admissions. With a school bus I can get admissions even from a far off place? But how can I get an admission from a far off place which already has a school? Now tap the desire factor. The status factor. etc., I get the admission. Banks offer loans to schools. RTA approves the licenses. If I say the producer of a school bus is the reason for a gory accident i will be trashed. If I say the desire to make child something (because that somethings earns a lot of money) which made the child travel for 8kms to reach a school is the reason fro a bus to be rammed by a train I will be rammed. If I say ..................i will be xxxxx
And any tragedy due to the malfunctioning of the system draws attention in a glorious way only to avoid any one finding out the real roots. In simple my point is to say Ashoka embraced Buddhism after a gory massacre of thousands.
The day of tragedy offers further more opportunities for creation of wealth. People discuss on T.V. A lot of precautions which are neglected are discussed.Students march with candles. Protests all over break up. Compensation is given.And we declare this gory things will stay long in memory. The real thing which is the reason for the tragedy never comes out.We are made to ignore it.
And the following day we forget it. The following photo is the photo of students waiting for the bus on a road irrespective of different dangers that can happen to them (and there 8 schools near by).And this is the immediate day after the tragic rail accident at Medak.
No one really cares. If somethings strikes the children down there then every one make hoo hoo. The parent believes that wonders will happen at a particular school. Because it is techno school. or any other concept talent,...... And what is a Techno School,.......? I challenge any one reading this piece to distinguish a techno,.... school from any other school in clear terms.
In this chaotic rush whom we are losing? On a manipulated road we reach the destiny the road takes. We fail to realize this even tragedy after tragedy. For we are trained not to look beyond the system. We are slaves working for the sustenance of a wealth perpetuating system. We earn only to spend or to save. In both the ways we are returning back everything to the one who has given us. We train our children to work for them. The universities conduct campus interviews but never they make students create products there by wealth.
We lost innocent smiles for ever on the tracks which are created for perpetuation of wealth. Whom to Punish? We lost trail of ourselves long ago. Whom to punish? Our greed resulted in overlooking the reality. Whom to punish? Our desire to achieve more than required created a Rush. Whom to punish?
How long can a traumatic issue stays for long in your memory?
66.21 years(Its our life expectancy)
The real tragedy is in offering condolences to the bereaved, in expressing severe shock over the tragedy, in offering visits to the victims, in many other ways we in fact are..................CELEBRATING DEATH.
