What do you think should done to revamp our education system (To educate the masses esp in the rural India)?

On the education front, we need to take some lessons from Cuba. in spite of all the resistance they faced from the US, they have kept their education system on track and its one among the best education systems in the world.
just for info. sake i will like to tell everyone that in Cuba education is free for everyone from Playschool to PhD. and also quoting the figures of 2004 survey, it had 100% literacy for both genders.
i will not suggest such a drastic change in education policy but still the government needs to make education free and compulsory for everyone at least till 10th.This will help in making some well needed changes in the society.
i know this kind of move will have some -ve effects on the financial deficit of the country but in the long term it will b worth and we can earn in future more than we need to spend now..!!!

Hail India!!!!

As we all know that, education is the backbone of a country's progress.

I want to ask the puys

What do you think should done to revamp our education system (To educate the masses esp in the rural India)?

Putting up each one teach one as an incentive, attract people by attaching a tax benefit clause

India is a continent in one Country

You could be sitting at a beach shack in Goa one day, then in a swish rooftop bar in Delhi the next. The following day you could find yourself on a camel trek in Jaiselmer sleeping under the stars, traveling a little further North you could be skiing in Kashmir.

Beach-Bright lights-Desert-Snow
Where else can you do that? That is what I like most about India.


I hate chalta hai attitude by many Indians.

wats de one thing that u really love abt our country and one thing u want to change abt it?????

1 thing I really love.....
thats our uniqueness.....our country is amalgamation of so many religions and still we manage everything notwithstanding the politics of religion played by many major politicians....
our country has so many different dimensions that u can never understand it while thinking of just one perspective. we people dont have to go to other countries to see change..but we just have to have a 100 km ride on our bike/car and we will find ourselves in an entirely new place....
diff. language, diff. people and still we all r bound by one word I N D I A
our very diverse culture can be succinctly expressed in one line
" kos-kos par pani badale, char kos par bani"

1 thing i wanna see change....

in the future i want to see our education sector revamped...we will b a diff. country wen we will put each kid in the country in school. so that i really want to see..
i hope we will have more intellects like Mr.Shashi Tharoor in politics and will see the youth shaping their own future.....!!!
hail youth!!!!

here is one question to get to know the thoughts of our peer group....

wats de one thing that u really love abt our country and one thing u want to change abt it?????

i hope we will see some honest answers....!!!

The rich culture, unity in diversity and immense knowledge that is available within our culture really appeal to me. India should be proud of talent that we have in our country. Immense potential!
But I do have certain issues. I do have issues with our Democracy. I often wonder whether we deserve to be a part of the World's Largest Democracy. Most of the people don't understand the true nature of democracy. What they understand is freedom of speech, expression, media without even considering the responsibilities that come with it. I think the basic problem is that we people are not responsible enough.
I do have issues with Law/ Rule enforcing agencies. To say they all are corrupt won't be right judgement. They need to understand their relevance in today's context rather than 20-30 years back.
And I do have some problems with caste / vote politics.

here is one question to get to know the thoughts of our peer group....

wats de one thing that u really love abt our country and one thing u want to change abt it?????

i hope we will see some honest answers....!!!

The one thing I love about India is UNITY IN DIVERSITY and I would like to change, I mean finish corruption in our country

Do you think it was and is right to keep Ajmal Kasab alive and not punishing him by hanging him to death?

Heard our Home Minister P Chidambram's interview on 26/11. He made a very valid point. It is only because of Kasab's presence and his confession in our Poilce custody, that Pakistan has begun to take some action against the culprits. It would have been very easy to deny any claims for the Pakistan government there, had Kasab been dead. He serves a vital link for all the information. We might need his confessions against all culprits.

SOMETHING IMP FOR YOUTH TO KNOW:
WORLD AIDS DAY Started on 1st December 1988.
The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.4 million people living with HIV, including 2.1 million children. During 2008 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus and an estimated 2 million people died from AIDS. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.

World AIDS Day provides an opportunity for all of us - individuals, communities and political leaders - to take action and ensure that human rights are protected and global targets for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care are met.

Global leaders have pledged to work towards universal access to HIV and AIDS treatment, prevention and care, recognising these as fundamental human rights. Valuable progress has been made in increasing access to HIV and AIDS services, yet greater commitment is needed around the world if the goal of universal access is to be achieved.
The protection of human rights is fundamental to combating the global HIV and AIDS epidemic. Violations against human rights fuel the spread of HIV, putting marginalised groups, such as injecting drug users and sex workers, at a higher risk of HIV infection. By promoting individual human rights, new infections can be prevented and people who have HIV can live free from discrimination

To successfully combat the spread of HIV/AIDS, it is necessary to stimulate involvement on all levels -- from individuals to groups, institutions and governments.
And Create Awareness about AIDS...
READ ABOUT this Epidemic and Help Them By Involving With Them...:D

I believe we even dont need to argue over deeds of persons like Thackerays. They are nothing but a typical politicians . They have even not spare Amithabh & Sachin. Officers guarding Maharashtra from every possible terrorist attacks are from every part of India. they havnt turn their back from fighting terrorist stating its a local mumbai matter. If MNS/Shivsena are really worried about Maharashtra then they should go to areas like vidharba and prevent farmers from commiting suicide because of acute proverty & debt.

These kind of attack arises because of economic imbalances between regions which are exploited by politicians. Infact these attacks are nothing different from attacks on Indians in Australia , Dubai etc. So whenever there is migration of people from low to high economic activity areas, there always arises resentment among locals of high economic areas because of more competition from migrated labour.
I think more we have polorisation of wealth , more such problems bound to occur.

One of my "Mumbai" friends once stated "Please let us love our Mumbai" on witnessing how states image is being maligned by creating unnecessary troubles & tension causing destruction to public property or death of innocent people.

dude dont take me negatively but i think u have touched a very elusive issue and not many puys will b able to opine on it....

i m not stopping anybody from giving their opinion but i wanna suggest a issue on wich i wud like the youth to give their opinion....

can the attack on south/north indians in maharashtra be justified by any rationale???

Raj Thackeray made critical remarks, themed around language and regionalism, about migrants from the North Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, accusing them of spoiling Maharashtrian culture and not mingling with them.
"Spoiling Maharashtrian culture".. hehehe, doesn't it sound childish... of course, it does:
Can a culture be spoiled by a north Indian by speaking his own language?
And Is it so easy to spoil a culture?
This incident can not be justified because it was totally wrong to behave like this.
And i would discount Raj Thackeray's criticism against North Indians as mere "stupidity".
Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra are different states of the same country.
If we are not allowed to reside and show our skills and get a job in our own country but in other state, how far is it valid.

Raj Thackeray, should answer the question- Whether only Mararathis live there... and is Mumbai prospering only because of the Marathis.
Are all Bollywood actors Marathi? Are all business men/women there Marathi?
He is such a big insane man that he accused (questioning the loyalty) the Bollywood legend, Amitabh Bachchan for showing "more interest" in his native Uttar Pradesh.
Should a person forget its native place if he goes somewhere else and gets famous.

This is really inane that Mr. Raj Thackeray has got no logical reasons for his behaviour,
Instead because of his act... India has lost a lot..

Nearly 25,000 North Indian workers fled Pune, and another 15,000 fled Nashik in the wake of the attacks. The exodus of workers caused an acute labour shortage, affecting local industries. Analysts estimated financial losses of Rs.500 crore (US$ 103 million) Rs. 700 crore (US$ 144 million). Although the violence receded after the arrests of the two leaders, sporadic attacks were reported until May 2008. After months of lull, on 19 october 2008, MNS activists beat up North Indian candidates appearing for the all-India Railway Recruitment Board entrance exam in Mumbai. Later on October 28 2008 a labourer from Uttar Pradesh was lynched in a Mumbai commuter train.

I opened this thread expecting public views on Kasab rather I found total knock-jhonk on what to discuss. Somewhere in this thread I read a moderator vouching for multiple question simultaneously on this thread. In the current page itself (page 3) I have already found as many Question as posts. This is totally messed up. So clearly is not a way to discuss. Its simply so confusing to handle too many topics simultaneously.

@Mods/Thread Owner/Puys, either discuss one topic for certain time frame or open seperate threads for seperate topics.Till now like most of govt policies this thread is going no where.

My take-- Take time frame of 1 week say Sun to Sat & then discuss main headliness of those weeks related to issues faced by India. At the end of every week say here Saturday Mods or Thread Owner would post conclusion/summary of the discussion done on those issues. For ex : one of Question posted in this thread is "What do puys think must be done to increase our literacy rate in the rural areas??" For this Question at the end of week one can list down all possible & practical ways which we/govt should do inc literacy rates.

gud 1 buddy...1 vote for aksbond4u...

bt in addition to dat wan to add 1 more point...lets not point fingers on any 1's opinion..in case we want to not atleast on d sentiments..lets not get into an ugly war(really sory for my previous post)

aftr all evry 1 is diffrnt and so are his/her thoughts...lets respect the comments and views of others and try to come up with some practical solutions (every week) to watevr problems we discuss which we can actually apply and who knws we might bring in the change we want to...

we talk about egalitarian society and still we have to grapple with jingoism on a daily basis...
i have spent major part of my life in MP(madhya pradesh) and have always seen people of all culture and religion together. i know that MP is not that developed and all but still it accepts every Indian with same vigour.

although the nature of prevalent jingoism is clear to everybody, i still want to point out certain things...
1. Y does not knowing the native language of a state(read maharashtrian) makes a person an object of contempt and inferiority in the state???

2. hoe does so many regional parties which indulge in grave violence and want the country divided, enjoy such popularity in the state???

3.wat does a native youth of maharashtra think about the status quo???

P.S. i live in AP now and dont know a bit about telugu but still have not felt any problem watsoever in this state...

can the attack on south/north indians in maharashtra be justified by any rationale???

Well, I think the attack on the north Indians in Maharashtra is absolutely unjustified.

Cos if we see it from political point of view, our constitution says that India is an undivided country and gives the right to all Indians to live anywhere within the country without any constraints
Political parties are all doing these to just attract media and be in the news because they know they stand nowhere.. So they are trying ill methods to get the popularity and want to pounce on Marathi votes

Just a simple question to them

Is Mumbai a developed city only cos of Marathis??

The question need not be answered because we all know that there are many entrepreneurs in teh financial capital from outside maharshtra

What should be done to stop such attacks??

Law and order should be very strong.. Guilty must be punished strongly cos they have no right to mess with the public property

Media should act responsiibly and stop giving them undue importance

Pls add suggestions to stop these barbaric acts or if u think it is justified, pls support ur argument.

Thanks

Friends this thread has been started in such a good spirit and what are doing here.. Fighting over issues to discuss.. We blame politicians for every delay they make but see ourselves.. The youth of this country take so much time to decide what to discuss..

I suggest lets get over this trivial fights and discuss whatever we want too.. NGOs, Political and Economic issues etc.

I want to pose a question, What do puys think must be done to increase our literacy rate in the rural areas??

i HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY, but dont feel like letting it out..yeah i am doing a bit here and there ..but i dont want to speak about it ..sorry sappy..even for that ajmal kasav question i have many points to add ..but i dont feel like talking about it. If we really want to do something collectively , then i guess we should discuss those things and i am in for this thread.. otherwise, i dont think i will do any justice to this thread..

It is good that we could discuss what we could do...
But i didn't know anyone could be hurted, i never meant to.

@aniket, @pallavi, @ashish
I m sorry to all those whom i have hurted unknowingly...
The thread should be continued peacefully with the support of all.

U could help me because i m not a manager yet, n i need to learn such skills.

Interesting angle, But i never preach what i dont practice.
I dont wish to point fingers before i set things straight for myself. Yes it is absolutely correct when u say that you are collecting buliding blocks of your life. But you lose the point when u ask us to choose who is better.
I didnt ask u to give up whatever u were doing and help ppl.
This is something that comes even when we are hardly 4-5 yrs old when we learn to share the swing with someone.

I work for oracle, help 3 slums, help at PG, build my skills, enjoy a livid social life too...So, Am i losing on something? No...I am gaining much more than I thought.

We need to change this very perspective that u've up!
Hope I did strike a chord right!

@Sappy...Dont make it one question at a time thread, this thread can do much more than that!!!
I shall monitor it....

@All i feel Discussing Kasab is a very small incident, it all trickels down from international Terrorism.

Cheers,
Pallavi

no offenses PP... as i said before, some topics people have their own opinions and they want to keep it....also not everybody have the capacity and resources to touch the same level....

well i have been following u for a long time now... i deeply respect and even admire u, so just wanna tell u that i had no intentions of harming ur feelings....u r doing gud work and u shud keep goin...

regards,
shaan887

well yes these question r relevant for sure...but one thing i want to state here...most of us here r of the age range 22-26. that is we r still collecting the building blocks of our lives....so wat i want to say is that we have limited resources and most importantly limited time...

so wat is equally important is to take ourself to such hight so that we r able to do something for our country and plz take note that i m talking abt sth of large scale....

pallavi u plz answer one question......who is better...
1. a person who sacrifices his studies and teaches 10-20 slum kids and thus not able to do justice to both the jobs.
2. a person who doesnt teaches anyone but works day and night so that wen he clears IAS he can revamp the education system of the country...

plz answer..

P.S.- the views expressed r solely mine and dont intend to hurt anyone but i do believe in one thing" u want to love someone, first learn to love urself..u want to teach somebody then first teach urself and if u want to change the system, first change urself."

i think its right to keep kasab alive till now bcoz of following reasons......

1.we r a democratic country and thus everybody (even if he is a terrorist) have the right for a trial in court....by not givin him that we could have had other countries pointin fingers on the credibility of our judicial system.

2.kasab cud have died anyway but by catching him alive we have made pakistan admit "mea culpa"

in the end i wud like to quote the statement of MR. P. CHIDAMBARAM "i am proud that we did not hang kasab overnite widout a trial coz that shows the credibility of the worlds largest democracy"
P.S.- the views given above are solely my own and i do not intend to harm anybody elses feelings

Cogent and Reasonable Logic.......
This is how the youth of our country should be shaping up!!

To elaborate further - Even if Ajmal Kasab is given a death sentence by the court , He is still entitled to go to the President of India for the final hearing. Afzal Guru has not been hanged till now because he is 26th on the mercy petition ..... so in the best case scenario - Ajmal Kasab would be 27th.We all need to be patient. It is not that "An eye for an eye" thing is wrong , We'll have "An eye for an eye" but , via the procedure established by the law.

But - There are things which disturb me. When we can give a just and fair trial to as heinous a man as Ajmal Kasab , why cant we give it to people affected by the Gujarat Riots?? We have always been a +1 in International Relations and a -1 in Domestic Affairs. This is one aspect that should be looked into - But , for that we need a strong,non-partisan civil society which would comprise people like you and me.

PS: I love this thread. Sappy Great Work!!

i think we are here in support of "Unity in Diversity"....
So instead of refuting each other, we must have a consensus.
But as this topic has been a distant topic according to few of us, so i think i would better ask some other question.

HAVE YOU JOINED ANY NGO, tell us what is it helping people or environment in and what are your contributions till now?

i HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY, but dont feel like letting it out..yeah i am doing a bit here and there ..but i dont want to speak about it ..sorry sappy..even for that ajmal kasav question i have many points to add ..but i dont feel like talking about it.

See Aniket, the thread is about the discussion of Everything Going on in our Country...
I have agreed to pp and all that would be discussed too...
The intro of this thread clearly says that there would be the discussion on every topic- be it attacks on our country, poverty, News and we will also take up the things you and pp are saying... but let one topic end.

And see as you said "Kasab's trial is not affecting anyone", for this I must tell you that the people who have lost their loved ones in the incident are affected and still concerned about what is the Govt. doing with the convict.
You may not be affected, sitting in Gujrat coolly but ask yourself if some "Kasab" enters your state, then would you discuss this... and wouldn't you be affected.
Will you not raise your voice against the security your country is providing you.

So think about your fellow countrymen, and their security.
Would poverty be of any relevance if the people die of bombs instead of hunger?
So shouldn't we be concerned about what govt. is doing with such devils who have the hand in ruining our country.

And i never said that we wont discuss those topics... The thread has just started, be calm.
There are yet many more things and acts which we will do.

Hiiiii..those where some really applaudable words wich actu forced me to think..
Bt herein i wud differ wid some of ur thoughts bhai..frstly i agree wid pp..wat she is telin is not about creating a whole school and to get engage in teaching dose poor small kids leaving ur job.

its actu about lending some 2-3 hrs in a week and teachin them(hope am correct pp )..I myself have startd an NGO wid 3 of my frnds n we do the same evry week.n it doesnt costs me anything except 3 hrs...m not advertsing myself or applauding my act bt jus wan to elaborate the fact that our comments here on dis thread of PG on kasab's trial wont affect any 1.

Rather discussion on dese small acts (wich actu can bring change in true sense in our society) must be laid stress upon in dis thread rather den commenting on kasab's trial (wich ultimately wont result in anything)..coz there are many ques as suggested by pp wich are more imp to discuss..

groans are welcome..
i simply hav pointed my thoughts..

u made a valid point here...but i always give a person a benefit of doubt and not everyone is capable of doing something on the same scale...

i thought that the main motive of this thread is to discuss the pros and cons of the various events that happen in the country...i know that just by discussing we cant bring a change but i think there is an intellectual part of us wich gets enlightened only wen we see other people pondering over certain topics.......
we all may have different opinions but the vital part is objectivity and hence i want however less people read this thread and hence the posts,they shud think at least once that there r bigger things happening in the country on which we shud give some piece of thought....

i just wanted to point this and nothing else. i apologize if u were offended by my views

well yes these question r relevant for sure...but one thing i want to state here...most of us here r of the age range 22-26. that is we r still collecting the building blocks of our lives....so wat i want to say is that we have limited resources and most importantly limited time...

i simply hav pointed my thoughts..

I agree with you, The Security is still not upto mark (even after such incidents)...
The Government is still dependent on the fishermen for the information of sea route attackers.
Our government is waiting for occurrence of more of such incidents i think, then they would come in action.
I really pity on the situation of Indian Government, that these politicians have great vigour to talk and refute the opposition, and slap the opposition too(recent case of Thakrey).
But they haven't been able to slap terrorism till now(Recent Assam bombard)...Not able to condemn Pak fully.

May be they have done something but there are many things yet to be done as far as the security is considered, so that the people could be sure of their safety.

It has been one year now since we had one of the deadliest attacks in our history & what have we done till now.. Spend Rs. 31 crores on the main accused of the attack; Send dossiers to Pakistan and get it rejected; Failed to provide an answer to the lack of security in such an aristocratic place; Making a mockery of ourselves in front of other countries

The major issue is what we could have done:

First of all, raising our Inner Security System and if we have done so, people of our country should be aware of them and felt safe

Quick trial of Kasab and if the statements have been recorded and verified in front of world forum, then he must be shot dead (I am not a cruel person but to shoot a person who is one of the responsible persons for the death of hundreds of innocent people is no wrong)

Countering inner terrorism which is even more dangerous than external terrorism

Past caught terrorists must be hanged (because we keep them in jail, spend taxpayers hard earned money on them and send a wrong signal to other terrorists)

Police force compensation must be increased (every year the babus give themselves heavy increments in pay commission but these policemen give their lives for the nation)

Strong vigilance should be there on Bangladesh Border


These are the some of the things which i think should be done

I would love to get additions, deletions on these

thanks

P.S. It is an excellent initiative taken by the moderator

As per my understandings police cannot interrogate Kasab until he is declared convicted in trial which he still hasn't. And by the time police will know anything substantial , it wont be much of use because till then all the possible links to main terror hubs etc would get erased just like what we all see in any hollywood SWAT/FBI/CIA etc based movie. Regarding Pakistan role, even before Kasab also we have countless evidence like live recording of POK terror camps etc which India time to time has shown to world. Also role of Pakistan in terrorism/taliban is nothing new and proven long back.


P.S.- the views given above are solely my own and i do not intend to harm anybody elses feelings.

i m not in favour of delaying justice but today we have kasab and we know that he is a culprit so we can hang him or punish him....but dont we know that the politician and the gentry of india indulge in devious tactics in order to save their own soul...wat if tomorrow an innocent youth is framed and then the same fate as kasab is bestowed on him..??

Do you think it was and is right to keep Ajmal Kasab alive and not punishing him by hanging him to death?

AJMAL KASAB is the biggest proof and witness, who is revealing everything slowly and steadily about Pakistan's terror intentions...
So he must be kept alive until and unless, Pakistan is completely disparaged and punished by the whole world.
And it was because of him that India started probing and the real face of Pakistan,i.e., the support given by Pak to Taliban, came clear in front of the world.

Its now one full year of having Kasab in Custody. Police would already have extracted all the possible info they could . I have just read that 31 crores have been spent on his security till now. Last thing India would want is an another Plane Hijack where terrorists asking for kasab release. Also dont forget Parliament attack accused Afzal is still not being hanged even after being granted death sentence 7 years ago. This kind of govt functioning I think actually raises finger both on our judicial & legislative system of democratic India.

One questions that has haunted me time and now is that...
What will be the take away of such a discussion?

1. better chance at GD's
   
2. Impressive points for the essays
   
3. lethally charged replies to the interviewers.
   

Are we doing enough at our level to call for a change?
How many of us vote?
How many of us teach someone?
How many of us believe in someone who wants to being about a change?

Guess these are the questions the "youth" must answer, Kasab is a distant topic!

well yes these question r relevant for sure...but one thing i want to state here...most of us here r of the age range 22-26. that is we r still collecting the building blocks of our lives....so wat i want to say is that we have limited resources and most importantly limited time...

so wat is equally important is to take ourself to such hight so that we r able to do something for our country and plz take note that i m talking abt sth of large scale....

pallavi u plz answer one question......who is better...
1. a person who sacrifices his studies and teaches 10-20 slum kids and thus not able to do justice to both the jobs.
2. a person who doesnt teaches anyone but works day and night so that wen he clears IAS he can revamp the education system of the country...

plz answer..

P.S.- the views expressed r solely mine and dont intend to hurt anyone but i do believe in one thing" u want to love someone, first learn to love urself..u want to teach somebody then first teach urself and if u want to change the system, first change urself."

So finally a separate thread is created for this. Its great.Her is my take on it.

'Kasab' according to media reports , often smiles in court when the trial is on. He perhaps smiles at the thought that it took 5 months for us to start trial of a person who killed people in open. he perhaps smiles because we took months to declare he is a Pakistani , he is more than 18 & he used an AK 47 to shoot people. He perhaps smiles at the thought of being alive even after captured in action.
True , the law should take its own course , but is it necessary to waste the time & money of our courts which are already suffering from huge backlog. Is it not a time to send a strong & clear message to terrorists -in -waiting. Finally is it justice delayed is nothing but justice denied ???

I think I have given my answer.

One questions that has haunted me time and now is that...
What will be the take away of such a discussion?

1. better chance at GD's
   
2. Impressive points for the essays
   
3. lethally charged replies to the interviewers.
   

Are we doing enough at our level to call for a change?
How many of us vote?
How many of us teach someone?
How many of us believe in someone who wants to being about a change?

Guess these are the questions the "youth" must answer, Kasab is a distant topic!

We would discuss everything ma'am but this question was asked to be put up here so that the Pursuit of Happiness does not thunder...
So as i also said, we would discuss everything regarding India... that includes All This too.

Do you think it was and is right to keep Ajmal Kasab alive and not punishing him by hanging him to death?

i think its right to keep kasab alive till now bcoz of following reasons......

1.we r a democratic country and thus everybody (even if he is a terrorist) have the right for a trial in court....by not givin him that we could have had other countries pointin fingers on the credibility of our judicial system.

2.kasab cud have died anyway but by catching him alive we have made pakistan admit "mea culpa"

3.by doin the trial of kasab in a kangaroo court and hanging him to death overnight we wud have lost the opportunity of eliciting the info about the existing terror n/w and the future threats.

4.If we have not had kasab with us, we cud not have realized the chutzpah of these terror networks and how they perform these devious acts with such impunity.

in the end i wud like to quote the statement of MR. P. CHIDAMBARAM "i am proud that we did not hang kasab overnite widout a trial coz that shows the credibility of the worlds largest democracy"

P.S.- the views given above are solely my own and i do not intend to harm anybody elses feelings

Interesting thread.
But I dont see a direction of the thread, are you inviting people to discuss? If yes, leave an open ended question!
