Stressful Education, Dreadful HRD

Unlike the West, Indian education had a slightly different pursuit in its history. The purpose of education was not to merely methodically gather facts, concepts and processes for being knowledgeable or for a job. The pursuit of knowledge used to be to discover, it had a sprinkling of spiritualism and to understand our universe and cosmos better. Indian educational-history was driven primarily by science and math. Unfortunately, much of the great contributions to education by ancient Indians has been wiped out from school text books by the Commies. Instead, it is shocking to hear that under Congress, Kapil Sibal had hired scamsters like Teesta Setalvad to write topics for Class 4 kids. Some topics in Social Studies books had content on Barkha Dutt, Rahul Gandhi as if these scamtards are icons for kids to emulate. But the shock doesn’t end there. CBSE tests Class-12 students in Indian dances like Bharata Natyam, Kuchipudi, Odissi and so on.

How in hell do you test someone’s dancing skills in a written test paper? And how in hell are these subjects, which are of private pursuit under a Guru, part of the regular school curriculum? There are many such stupidities and that will make this blog a mile long. The Indian schooling system has degenerated into a huge cesspit of money, greed, political mechanism and an assembly-line production facility. One is now primed and brain-hammered to believe that schools exist only to pass some exams and then go on to the next exam and then another and then another. While the process as a qualifying mark is inevitable, making it the sole hurdle to cross is nothing short of demeaning education itself. Therefore, when PM Narendra Modi published “Exam Warriors” in early 2018 it seemed quite odd to me:

Why would the PM of a large country be writing on how to pass exams of all things? We have millions of coaching classes, in addition to schools, doing that job. However, I am sure Modi’s book was well-intentioned, good-humored and aimed at easing exam pressures. A PM must have that much luxury to counsel students about the dreadful exams. It is also a good PR exercise that portrays the PM as caring for students and their problems. But that book wasn’t a one-off thing. It has now become a regular feature of Modi counselling students on exams. This started with a “Pariksha pe charcha” in January 2019:

 

I think by this day and age, most parents have realised children should have the freedom to pursue their dreams and ambitions. Parents also realise that not all kids are scholastic geniuses and there are many other avenues for careers now. I thought the PM’s interactions were a one-off event (with the book earlier) to encourage students to be positive and not be “tensioned” over exams. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. He has become a regular “counsellor” and wants to do another “PPC” this month:

 

Naturally, this makes me ask the question – Can you treat someone like a patient forever and keep treating him over and over again for the same symptoms? If that is the case, then the person would have to be in the hospital permanently or in a care-centre. As the PM with enormous powers and a huge mandate, Modi has been given absolute powers to change anything that causes stress for children – be it exams or other social evils. For six years now, his HRD ministry has done absolutely NOTHING to address the serious problem of school education rotting and depreciating like a stinking cabbage:

 

You cannot play a psychologist to school kids every year. It is time Modi asked his HRD minister what exactly he is doing about reducing stress in schools. Why should schooling be a painful exercise for children. Most children, especially when they get to early teens, don’t like going to school. It’s more or less like a jail for them. And the previous HRD Minister, Prakash Javdekar, shamelessly claimed he had changed nothing in the five years he was the minister. If you are incapable of any positive change, why are you a minister in the first place? The current minister, RP Nishank, is equally a moron even if he has good qualifications and background. It is shocking what the HRD ministry is busy with – and that is moronic quizzes like these:

Malala and Bollywood Othello? And these guys are charged with changing the course of education positively? I don’t think these HRD guys have a clue on what to do with education. All it takes to reduce stress of exams is to dramatically change what is being taught in schools and what should be tested. I have written earlier too, that subjects like History, Geography, Civics etc should be taught but NOT tested so stringently that the student and the parent coaching her don’t have to burn midnight oil to prepare for a lousy memory test. What sense does it make in this age of information at your fingertips to memorise ordinary facts? If a student wants to specialize in any of these subjects then she can do so towards her college end years or even later. Specialisation in history is a matter of research and not memorizing facts for an exam. This, coupled with good writing and investigative skills are called for such research work.

There is more to the entire destruction of education system in India. Education is not something govts can cater to a large population. It needs private enterprise and dedication. The anti-Hindu Congress brought in the RTE which discriminates against Hindu schools and management. Schools run by Hindus will be subject to quotas, fee regulation and what not while none of the RTE nonsense applies to “minority” schools. What exactly is the cause for discrimination in something like education? ModiSarkar has so far shown no willingness to act on repealing or modifying the CRIMINAL RTE. Such Hindu-haters are also filing PILs in SC over prayers being recited in KV schools:

The prayer just happens to be in Sanskrit. A line like “Take me from darkness to light” has nothing to do with religion. It simply means the quest for truth and knowledge. Our history books have completely negated the contributions of Hindu scholars and sages of centuries who have enlightened the world. Instead, they have barbarians like Babar, Aurangzeb or Akbar being glorified.

Although history books are a different matter, you have to wonder what idiotic ideology guides someone like Prakash Javdekar when he considers a mass-murderer, serial women-exploiter like Fidel Castro a revolutionary. Cubans have suffered badly under his regime. And worse, this “Lump of Maida” Javdekar considers a mercenary, killer-for-hire thug like Che Guevara also a revolutionary. With such filth inside a person in a “Hindutva” govt, it is not surprising that this guy was such a terrible horror as HRD minister. Why Modi still persists with him can have only one explanation – A diktat by the Marathi-dominated RSS.

I have been in the school-education domain for nearly two decades to know what ails our schools and what stupidities and absurdities our schools indulge in or are FORCED to indulge in. Very frequently, Principals would ask if I knew a good Math or Biology or Physics teacher they can recruit. It seems around 2003-2004 CBSE introduced a subject called “Thinking Skills”. A Principal once asked me if I knew any teacher to teach “Thinking Skills”. I was a bit amused. There are, of course, specialists like Edward De Bono who have written tomes on the topic. I asked the Principal “Don’t your teachers possess thinking skills”? She was indeed taken aback.

How can you be a teacher without thinking skills? And even if teachers weren’t conscious about it, they can surely all be trained on it. It does not need a specialist. Thinking is a skill, not a talent and can definitely be taught and transferred. In absence of such a skill, you get a moronic tweet like the one on the left where the person is unable to tell the difference between Partition and the forced exodus of KPs. That’s the rotten problem with our schools that have little teaching of skills. The other problem is, unlike 2-3 decades ago, today’s Principal faces a huge set of tasks and challenges – students, teachers, parents, public, society, police, politicians, media and what not. She is not trained for all this. There is no specific Principal-certification course for Principals. The senior most teachers either get promoted or become a Vice-Principal or Principal by changing schools. It is only experience and not a certified training that makes one a school Principal currently. No one is even talking about this serious issue.

PM Modi cannot play a psychologist or counsellor to school kids forever. Much as he has good intentions at heart, this is not the role he should be playing. I strongly believe that school-education can be dramatically changed to be positive, without taking away any learning-goals and making it stress-free and enjoyable for students, teachers, parents and society in general. All we have seen from his dreadful HRD ministers are lipstick nonsense like turning schools into “Anger-free zones”. I am also absolutely sure such a change can be planned and proposed in a single year for implementation in the next academic year. You cannot permanently treat children as “victims of stress” like SC cases that go on for years. And Modi has the absolute power to change it all. If not, the next PM may not be a student-counsellor. Think about that.

2020 - Dawn of the Hindus

Their powder kegs were being assembled and stocked up for quite a while. All that was needed was ignition. The SC delivered the verdict on Ayodhya irreversibly in favour of Hindus. The SC dismissed about 19 review petitions on Ayodhya in one stroke without as much as a hearing, apart from a chamber evaluation. Muslim thugs like Asad Owaisi screamed in outrage “We are not beggars; we don’t want that 5-acre land”. Although, the same radical keeps begging for reservations and more financial benefits for Muslims. Article 370 junked in August 2019, terrorist sympathisers locked up in Kashmir, Triple Talaq gone. We knew this was coming. The violent riots and arson ignited by Congress and other Sickulars after CAA was not surprising. There were no protests; just riots and arson. The anti-CAA riots showed us all the places where Muslim mobs are holed up and will be used to launch VOD (Violence on demand) by Congis and their sidekicks. These riots were not merely anti-CAA. They were anti-India, anti-Hindus and pro-Islamic.

The 2020 in the title of this post is not just about the new year. They say hindsight has 20-20 vision. 20-20 is a measure of optical vision or the acuity of eye-vision for a person. PM Modi, aided by a tough HM Amit Shah is showing his learning by hindsight. Many decisions were on hold during the first term of ModiSarkar but hindsight has taught him that the toughest decisions are best taken in the first few months or the first year of a term. Thus 370, CAA and other tough decisions are hindsight of the first term but foresight in the second term:

The CAA riots have nothing to do with the Bill or Act itself. It is a raw and violent assertion of Muslim “might” that has long sought to Islamise every institution and policy of India. The arrival of ModiSarkar has stopped that in its devious tracks and that’s what these riots are all about. The crimes of these Muslim mobs are engineered, supported and spawned by the Congress, TMC and other such Sickular parties. And there is one thing that needs mentioning again – no matter what the crimes of Muslims, no matter what the level of their violence, no matter what their anti-India, anti-Hindu slogans, there are politicians and media-criminals who will defend such crimes till their last breath. Just take a look at these Muslim or Chrislamic ladies in the montage; all of them are defending the Muslim violence and expecting the police to tolerate their riots and arson:

The last pic in the montage above is that of a comedian from the Chinese Gandhi family who knows not one damn thing about anything but goes around like she’s the Prima Donna of agitations or saviour of Muslims. In fact, all the faces in the pic are Prima Donnas of Muslim violence. Their hatred for Hindus is intense and their contempt for Modi unparalleled. The Vadri does not deserve anymore security and ModiSarkar would do well to put this uncouth, uncivilised woman into place for all her consistent bad and abusive behaviour. From the time Modi stepped into the Houston rally of NRIs and Americans, this anti-Hindu rant has been more visible. There were protests with placards condemning “Hindutva”. It’s a clever trick devised by Chamelis like Shashi Tharoor. Since abusing and condemning Hinduism doesn’t pay politically anymore, they have latched on to Hindutva as being “different” from Hinduism and Hindus. They protested the Bill Gates award to Modi too. And that had absolutely nothing to do with any politics:

As long as Sonia Gandhi exists along with her two dimwits in India, the covert war against Hindus will continue. It is not the mere “poison” of power that she desperately seeks for her two idiots but her ultimate goal, as dictated by the Vatican, is to marginalise Hindus and depreciate and denude Hindu culture as much as she can. Just imagine if she, instead of Modi, had 303 LS seats. Which is why the new political-assertion of power by Hindus is a new dawn in India. This assertion must continue relentlessly till the likes of Tharoor and the Hindu-hating gang are thrown out of politics; some preferably out of India itself. “The Hindutva movement is anti-Hindu” he says in the pic on the left. Hindus aren’t being fooled anymore and that’s their problem. By what standards of civility are the Vadri or anyone in politics or media defending the violent riots by Muslims? Morons of NDTV like Nidhi claim the right to agitate is a democratic right. Since when did this become a right to destroy property, indulge in arson and particularly abuse a religion? They have no explanation for this but continue to defend the anti-Hindu nature of this violence through moronic arguments that would put their twisted pants to shame:

 

So, why are all these Topis and Burqinas ranting against Hindutva? Many Hindu houses and shops in UP were attacked by the rioting Muslims. For what? And then they claim all this is against CAA? Laughable clowns! This is not some CAA protest or riots; this is another episode of the continued war against Hindus. And Hindus must not be fooled into believing anything else. Make no mistake, while the Hindus will condemn any crime by their own, the Muslims will stand steadfast with their community no matter how violent and murderous the crime. They stood by Burhan Wani, by Yakub Memon, by Afzal Guru and will continue to do so. Even the unelectable minister Mukhtar Naqvi stands by his Muslims who shout “Pakistan Zindabad” and “Hindustan Murdabad”:

 

The Meerut SP, Akhilesh Narayan Singh, was kind to ask the treacherous goons to go to Pakistan. I would have preferred to send them elsewhere where they could enjoy their 72 hoors in paradise. Such filth does not belong in India but because they are Muslims, the minister will shed all his pretence of loyalty to country and support such criminals. Hindus must not do business with those who should “Pakistan Zindabad” or “Hindustan Murdabad”. There is another goon who pretends to be “neutral”, who pretends to be a Modi-Bhakt, but all it takes to expose his Islamiyat is the Meerut SP episode. He goes by the name of Zafar Sareshwala. He’s the Gujarat 2002 “victim turned profiteer” by receiving special attention from Modi. He is more proof that Muslims will defend all their crimes, no matter what:

 

Across the world, people and politicians are slowly learning that these Islamic goons bring nothing of value to their society. All they want is to convert every country and every hamlet into an Islamic ghetto and destroy everything that others have built. These goons contribute almost NOTHING to the societies they live in other than breeding and creating a useless population that they can neither feed itself nor is of any notable value to the country they live in. Ilhan Omar in the US is a prime example of a refugee demonstrating immense hatred for non-Muslim Americans. In the UK too, the Muslim immigrants have become more known for rapes and knifings. In the recent UK elections, Jihadi Jeremy Corbyn got a thrashing of his life for the Labour Party. That’s because he chose to stand with the terrorists, Jihadis and those who attacked the Indian HC and stood by Congress. In contrast, people like Boris Johnson and others have started respecting Hindu values and contributions to their society and, more importantly, their votes. This will be the pattern in Europe and the US too. Just listen to the rants and chants in this video of Muslims. There is nothing anti-CAA about it but everything anti-India (Video: 52 secs):

It starts with chants of “Pakistan Zindabad” from Lucknow. At 0.12 there’s a Muslim who threatens to change the face of Hindustan, burn the whole of India if CAA is implemented and will even destroy “private property” for all this. These are the “peaceful” agitators of morons like Nidhi of NDTV or Saba of Nowhere or Mukhtar Naqvi. And at 0.28 these Muslims demonstrate their English language skills too – with chants of “La Ilaha”. I’m surprised these “English Muslims” didn’t break into “La Ilaha, La Bamba”. And these brainless idiots are supposed to be doing anything for India? Don’t make the mistake of thinking these are stray idiotic voices and rants. These voices are the very strings that Congress and their Sickulars, their media criminals and Pakistan support. The Hindus aren’t in slumber anymore and are well aware of the enemy’s designs to destroy India.

And if that wasn’t enough, hear these women and their La La Land nonsense of Modi ruling because of Taj Mahal or Qutub Minar. Most of these idiots come from families that long lived in “open-air toilets” and now curse Modi. This is the lesson that BJP needs to learn. These abusive, ungrateful creatures will abuse him, abuse BJP and abuse India for eternity. There is no changing their mentality or their culture (Video: 38 secs):

 

And these lumpen, hate-filled elements who are out on the streets just to prove their Islamiyat are called “peaceful protesters” by some media-criminals and the Sickular parties. Muslim outfits like SDPI and PFI are pointed to as being behind the violence. It is surprising that the GOI has not yet banned FPI while some states are reeling under their violence. The Hindus are quietly watching all this and asserting themselves against these terrorists through legal means. This has gone to such an extent that a Congress member of TN openly calls for the murder of PM Modi:

 

This Kannan not only calls for the murder of Modi but he also wonders why no Muslim has done it so far. Exactly what the Congress wants – Kill Modi. Attempts have been made in the past, particularly at Gandhi Maidan in Patna in October 2013. There is no doubt the Naxals who are in custody of Maharashtra police have been plotting an assassination of Modi for quite some time. Hindus have overthrown all these anti-Hindu, anti-India criminals through the ballot box or the EVM. The new world is one of technology, intelligence and the impossibility of hiding behind lies and propaganda. Hindus are naturally gifted in technology and intelligence. And they are the ones winning this battle of Good vs Evil. If 2019 marked an end to many vicious laws and Acts, then things will get even better in 2020. In the next 2 years, I foresee a dramatic change in the landscape of Indian politics and it will be the Hindus that will prevail. Celebrate this new dawn.

Happy New Year!
