Atmosphere is getting hot not just because it's April, rather more because of election. Rise of middle class against the corruption, crony capitalism or nepotism in govt. or corporate circles is going to shape the Central govt. Leaders, activists and even general enthusiasts are talking about importance of education to uproot corruption. A lot more emphasis is given on education. But is education enough to solve all the problems India is facing from ground level at Panchayat or district official level to streets of planning commission and other secretariats?
I doubt this fact? Just by educating the uneducated rarely going to make an honest society and environment to thrive. Presently, a lot many of educated individuals specially belonging from lower middle class to middle class are eyeing govt. lucrative jobs. And they are lucrative from the point of black money or unprecedented power. And why they are eyeing all these? Because of the previous generation's deeds regarding making a fortune while being at that lucrative position and their practice of boasting in public meetings.
On one hand, these educated parents want their wards to be educated to the best level. While on other side, expecting them to be at same or higher such lucrative jobs and make another fortune for the family.
Just education is not enough in the present scenario, enlightenment is also must.
Just enlightenment will make you a better citizen but never a better husband or a son or a father. Because it is through education (either acquired in schools or from experience) only, one can earn and live a decent life. It's only combination of education and enlightenment that can transform a society into corruption free hamlet.
