Some Reflections.

Apropos the fb post "Education is Strategic",let me recall that visionary prime ministers ,Nehru  and  Rajiv Gandh, in the past ,without their partys concurrence or appreciation of their vision,

 inspired by     by the western countries progress and ignited by socialistic and welfare outlook.(,Nehru) steadfastly pursued establishing higher educational institutions such as iits ,national resarch labs etc that would make India self sufficient and compete with advanced countries and Rajiv Gandhi goaded us to be tech-savy and introduced learning through computers.in this effort ,Congress party remained sceptical except pv narasimharao as  HRD minister,who gave a shape to Rajivs vision through National Education Policy in 1986.Tenures of the remaining prime ministers of India was plateful of vote-bank and caste based and religion based divisive politics and attempts to stick to power by hook or crook,without any VISION.They have also shamelessly brought the system to a stage of ineffectiveness and corrupted the establishment.Even if we may have a visionary PM now or in future,I doubt if he will be allowed by  the establishment to translate his vision ,as  happened to Rajiv, as politics and politicians of the day have become MURKIER .!!!!!!!
