The problem with Indian education is not exam paper leaked. No problem is that the system is inherited from British & Nehru didn't care to change much. The problem is that Indian students are made to learn mechanically by heart and that they know nothing of their heroes & heroines, as well as the vilains who bled India. The problem is that manuals still teach Aryan Invasion Theory - that never happened & still divides South from North. The problem is that this system makes clones ready for export & not a youth proud to be Indian & ready to work for their country. Repost if u agree
Why has every attempt to modernise India’s institutions become a political battlefield?
The answer lies in both domestic politics and the unease with India’s changing place in the world.
Do read my piece in @TheAusToday
So Kapil Sibbal has announced 1 crore Legal aid for CJP student protestors . When this joker himself was education minister under UPA -1 tenure, AIEEE paper leak happened. The leak was discovered just hours before the scheduled start time.
A genuine grievance can begin with students, institutions and a demand for reform. But what happens when political parties, activists, ideological groups and even global media ecosystems pile in until the original issue is almost lost?
The question is no longer simply why are people protesting? It is: who is driving the narrative, who benefits from it, and what happens when the protest ends but the political war continues?

It examines how protests in @narendramodi's India can evolve from legitimate public anger into something far bigger: a battle over power, ideology and India’s political future.

@Iyervval To little too late... no good locking the stable door after the horse has bolted... BJP, Delhi police and security agencies should hide in shame and contemplate how China, America, UK would have handled this information on the day...
@AmitShah@AshwiniVaishnaw@JoshiPralhad@JPNadda
Strongly suggest that a campaign be run showing all those young protestors during Delhi Riots , farmer protests and current CJP vandalism who have been arrested and have charges filed against them and are behind bars .
That their future is ruined - no passport , no admission .
Run the campaign with actual faces and names
This can create a deterrent to those CJP is trying to incite to foment trouble .
Get the police to call parents of all those caught vandalising & indulging in violence - share the grave consequences
Such measures may help create deterrents for the future and create a barrier so that young ones are not misguided and parents can hopefully prevail.
This needs the Home Ministry , Ministry of Education and I&B to collaborate to orchestrate such a campaign
Tom: "is the CJP India's Arab Spring?" Salvatore: "only if you follow the Guardian or the BBC." Watch my interview with @TomSwitzerMedia for the SwitzerLand podcast: https://t.co/52cxFyGAVX
@NBDwrites Inclusion of "Mere agitation" is chicken shit ruling... assaults on police are unacceptable and perps must be found and held accountable. That's it, judge boy. Keep allegations of brutality as a separate issue.
