100% EXPORT ORIENTED CHILDREN!

Are we seeking for an export-oriented education to our children?

Aren’t we committing sin to our posterity on pretext of our foresight for their bright future?

s it commodities, to export to States or to Europe, our children? Yes, it is to you, and also to me I pause this unpleasant question. We can flatly deny the statement but the purport of the same cannot be ruled out.

We all are competitively in preparedness our wards to suit the demand of the Westerners. Starting from the very beginning, we like to impart international syllabus to make them suited for placement at the end of the course. We are in chase for getting admission in colleges with scope for campus selection to foreign agencies! Who knows not the need for qualifying the TOFLE and IELTS?

It has become a concept that wise parents would not let their children to live in India, even if they aspire so. We want to exile them at once: Right? We want to make our stuff up to international export demand. It is proud of the parents to claim that their wards are settled in USA, earning hundred thousand Dollars per month, yet not visited them for the last five years. If they married a western spouse, it matters another merit. They find it pleasure to sacrifice the affectionate one to their family, caliber one to the Nation and the tension free safe village life to the poor children. Destined to renounce the good fortunes of his motherland! Initially the child also may feel a thrill in the money winning game abroad, but later he feels the depth of the missing in life.

His affectionate parents, bosom friends, land scapes with sweet memories, loving fruit trees and pet animals, the fragrance of rain wet soil- the loses will make him disoriented and frustrated with nostalgia in later years. Some of his fortunate friends, rowing on a low income job in the village it self, living with parents, relatives, enjoying the gift of the unadulterated serenity of nature, would be at lower comparison in the early days, but later he would be envious on their non mechanical life. The festivals in the local shrines, its get-together, bathing in the country bath place… all these will become matter of sighs in his mind. Should we allow our children to abandon the divine gifts of our country, our state, and our village, just for the mad money hunt?
