I recently watched the popular talk show on StarVijay TV with participation from parents,teachers and students.
And what the teachers see as good and how do they identify the Good Student in general and a Good man in particular.
To my shock none of them have been able to specify a single attribute that characterizes a good Man.
The yard stick to determine One who is Good seems to be,
1.Good education with top rank.
2.Settling well in Life.
3,Respect to elders.
One would scant coverage of news from the North east of India.
Many are not even aware of the States in the North eastern Part of India,which in a paternalistic way called as the Seven Sisters of India.
Indian media wakes up on the issues of the North east when there is an insurgency activity, election or a Corruption case erupts up.
Many students from the North East study in Indian Universities, especially in the South, like the Manipal Group of Institutions in Karnataka ,Bangalore and Anna University in Tamil Nadu.
The students do not get the same treatment as the other Students.
In fact in some campuses thee are separate Mess facilities for them.
In Hostel room allocations, these students are grouped together.
They do not get a chance to mingle with the other students,
On their part the North Indian Students do not make an effort to mingle with the others.
Four murders were reported in the first half of 2013-14 in the school premises and no action has been taken
As most of these schools are run with Political backing and Police protection even filing an FIR is not possible.
The Directorate of Education Schools Tamil Nadu State that they have control over Law and Order, Police say it is an Educational Institution and they can not take action.
These schools inform parents casually about the death and the scene of crime reveals the story touted by the school as suicide is false.
There are instances where the students are murdered by rival students engaging thugs!
The latter, unless it is instinctive,is nothing but a deviation(no psychological; connotation) and mostly leads to Perversions, which one might be unaware of before coming in possession of such information.
Despite the emergence of a Free Society( should this be in only Copulation?), the individuals feel awkward in vocalizing sexual thoughts, especially with those who are close to them even
This is addition to what is being provided at Home by way of Food, Shelter Clothing, Study expenses and in fact covers everything.
This concept is a new one, since about fifteen years,;even then, it was not followed as it is being done now.
We were provided every thing by the parents at Home(about 50 years back) and I did not even know what to ask.
I used accept what was given by my father.
Even School textbooks were not asked for.
If I needed something, which was rare, at times I used to ask my mother and what I wanted was provided, but never Money.
Today, we find Pocket Money is being demanded as a matter of Right by the children and parents also consider this as a part of a Child growing into an adult!
It sounds funny.
Why does a child require Money and why do parents encourage it?
One point is that the peer Pressure exerted on the Parents by the other parents on the one hand and , on the other,the pressure exerted by the child’s friends.
Many parents resort to this practice to show their status,also to assuage their guilt feeling of not being with the child as much as they would like because of the fact that both Husband and wife are employed.
They think they are compensating this by giving money to children.
At a relatively young age, say up to 10 years, if you bring up the child properly. the child would not ask for Pocket Money and what it needs is the fact that the Father/Mother personally bought something for him
Once you allow the child the taste of money, it never leaves.
The child develops a taste for things which it can not afford and assumes that the Money is there merely for the asking.
When you have money, one tends to spend on things one does not need, this applies more to Adults,look at your credit card purchase-s you would have bought things which you would otherwise have not bought if you hard currency ;such being the case, imagine a child!
When the child has more money it tends to develop bad habits like Smoking< Drinking and begin to use drugs.
