Illusions In Educational And Educated Society of Uttarakhand
ISSUE STORY
By Nitin Chandola
In today’s monetized society, getting educated is considered to be the most im-
portant step towards survival. For parents belonging to working class society, edu-
cational courses have become a subject that needs to be dealt with great sensitivity.
Paying ransom to the deceptive institutions for the sake of getting a good education
is an age old game. Prior to the modern education system, about two hundred years
in the past, our society followed the Gurukul and Madrasa system. Gurukul system
was only applicable educational system according to the Vedic rituals. This may
seem as a pessimist’s statement, but considering the outputs of Vedic Education
System (VES), the only achievement of Western Education System (WES) shows is
the expansion of immoral commercialisation. The human experiences in this world
are the reflection of the psychological status of the society we live in, these psycho-
logical experiences are a giving of the educational system we follow. The unhealthy
competitive era in India has been sparked not only due to the population explosion
of late nineties, but also due to the hypocrisy of our educated societies. Our re-
nowned educational institutions are focused on the principle of ‘survival of the fit-
test’, whereas the contemporary education believed in the ‘survival of the weakest’.
