Education teaches people to think and articulate. Education is a free flow of knowledge. Education is the asset which the mankind possess for itself to think and act.
Recent deletion of some cartoons from NCERT textbooks throws light on what students should learn and who decides that "what" they should learn. First of all, education is transmission of knowledge without flavour. Whatever is true and exactly happened has to be interpreted. You teach children what actually happened and how the world reacted to it. Children have to analyse and conclude what they feel right. This is real education and not what is followed in our country.
The education system we follow is pathetic. The textbooks prescribed for students for their higher studies are those written by foreign authors. How can one expect them to write about things in Indian context. Take the case of MBA education, for all papers majority of the suggested books are by foreign authors. Students hardly find instance of Indian context examples. Barring few, most of the contexts are foreign. You don't teach them about India (the Indian context), you teach them whats happening in western countries and you expect them to apply the tactics and practices in India. How far the logic works out?? And the worst case is that examples quoted in classes or to be written in answer sheets are expected to be of foreign corporates and Indian context examples are not considered. What a shame!!!!
If you tell Tiruppur is the best example of textile manufacturing hub, it is not accepted or recognised. Only Manchester is recognised as a textile hub.
In any education system, students should be taught about their surroundings and their country first. Then they should be taught foreign thoughts. Teach them their country first.
Teaching something written by foreign wizards and not completely educating people about India doesn't serve purpose. Students should be taught about India thoroughly. How many people in this country know about the business generated by Tiruppur or about the place where Ajantha clocks are made?? Few people know about that. Most people do not know because they are not taught about their own country.
Our education system portrays India as a backward nation depending on foreign thoughts and know-hows. We are not presented the true picture about India. Such a heinous crime has to be stopped.

And who are those in Parliament to decide what I should read?? They decide on a curriculum and scrap it if they face agitation or if it affects their vote bank. A well exposed drama that children are not taught what is true and Govt. is itself providing a "flavour" education. Pity state of affairs of Indian education.
People should also come forward to learn about India and her rich legacy
You are not recognised until you know your own mother tongue and the sacred verses of various literature. No fascination studying Shakespeare unless you know the Gita or the Kural.
