Last week when we had communication laboratory at college, each one of us had to speak on the topic, "Are Studies Beneficial In India or Abroad?", for which there seemed to be almost a debate on the same. Doubtlessly, I spoke for studies in abroad, because I felt it that way. I lacked almost everything to study here. I din't have the ability to mug things up, neither did I have the strength to study and vomit what the book only contained. So indirectly I lack the basics to study and prosper here. Which indirectly reflected on my marks, as an average score, which did no impact on me or my family, but the society around.
The society around here was focussed on blessing and respecting the toppers, but not me, atleast not people like me (I don't seem to find many like me). Also having a passion about different type of people and psychology, I seemed to notice my class toppers to speak for the Indian Education System. Children are expected nothing more than marks. Seriously, the people here are used to praising the top scorers in whatever test maybe. The marking or grading system is to be blamed or the view of the parents or the system of teaching is to be changed? But yet, seniors or lecturers claim this system to be the best and that this has made the brainiest Indians. Well.... The answer for that would be, the ones who understood instead of mugging are the only eligibles to be trademarked the Indian brains.
The greatest people of the nation who spread the quality of Indian Ed System would be those who din't study the Indian way. There might be exceptions. But who cares here? Right ?Marks, Marks and Marks, is there anything else ?! And where is co-curriculum?! Lets meet in another post :)

I second you on the fact that rot learning is a bane of our educational system. There should be a shake up in the way our institutions function. First of all, I think our teacher training programs are not up to the mark, and as a result you find not-so-up-to-the mark teachers in our classrooms. A system of learning rather than rot learning has to be encouraged. Most importantly, our government has to do more to make teaching a respectable position. With the kind of salaries most teachers get in government schools and colleges, one will hardly attract any talented teachers and not to mention the pathetic infrastructure in most institutions.
Well thats another valid point, and do mention ur mane :)
Well, my name is Manu :-)
