A Strange sentence from the Bearded face that changed something in me....

               Shift in Indian Education System....from Nationalism to Macaulayism





Today I came across a statement in newspaper by some man with a beard (looked like he is some GURU or something). It was like this : " I consider the current education system as real culprit. It is not focused on Learning but on Earning". As most of the times, I discarded the statement as a mere worthless propaganda sentence from another Hindu fanatic. Yesterday also when Venkahia Naidu also said the similar words I didn't paid heed to them taking it as another political gambit. 



But then I remembered once I preached to one of my juniors that "Discarding something without giving it a proper thought is the biggest sign of Narrow Mindedness". Well I like to be counted in open minded lot so for that sake I decided that I will research on it and then decide.

So the first thing I did was read that article in full. In it I came across the name Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859). Typing it on google directed me to wikipedia page on MACAULAYISM. As said there--- Macaulayism is a theory by the said scholar in which it is stated that how using education a colonial power can disintegrate the cultural fabric of a colony and introduce its own cultural values. Using this methodology any knid of thought process can be developed in a colony, in this case it was disregard for our own cultural heritage. That is to say that Thomas Macaulay designed and introduced an education system in India which will change the thought process of coming generations of this GULAM country and they will have no confidence or respect for their native heritage but will cherish and dream of Western Culture as heavenly. 

I think we all can agree how true it is. We don't respect our traditions and declare them as blind faith, we see our Sadhu Babas as thieves and frauds. Without doing proper research or practice we just brand everything that is out of our ancient scriptures as BULLSHIT....!!!! Moreover we always dream of West as a dreamland (even though daily someone goes into a mall or school and starts shooting innocent people). 

As also said in the article was the fact that 30% western population is administered to psychiatric drugs. That is to say that 30% western population is mentally sick. Now is not that a high number for such a so called prosperous west. I found some weight in above comment as I find these links while serching for proof --
 In INDIA it is somewhere between 5%-10% by current statistics. 

  Yoga which was once seen as worthless practice by younger generation and was about to get lost in our traditional scriptures has now bounced back ( and this credit no doubt goes to Sages of our country and PM Modi ) . On the eve when whole world is embracing YOGA DAY as it is undoubtedly the best way to beat mental stress and other body ailments it will be also a step-forward towards a well being if we take this one resolution of not discarding any of our tradition heritage and practices as blind faith without properly researching on it. 

I take this pledge that I will respect my heritage our heritage and will try to understand its value and reason. If found credible I will work to spread it among you all my friends.

Volunteer to Violenteer.....1 mistake that leads Volunteerism into Terrorism !!!1

Image
“Volunteerism”, a word that generates in every young mind a wave of enthusiasm and urge for becoming a part of a change that the combined action of all the volunteers will bring. Volunteerism is the phenomenon in which a person participates in an act by his own willingness, out of his own conscience. Such a person is called a Volunteer. A volunteer gets solace in the thought that he has done his share of duty, that he is not the one to be counted among onlookers. And this is a very big thing, not to be an onlooker but a doer .  Now talking about the transition the question arises “What actually does it takes to make this transition”? Well the answer can be found by looking back into the life to the day when we first volunteered. The answers that we will find are quite common in most cases. This transition from being an onlooker to a doer takes a lot of motivation and will power especially for the first timers. It comes from the people around us like our parents, teachers,...

COMPLAINING WIFE/GIRLFRIEND.....here is what to do...

Image
For a few days I observed that Jules complaints a lot listening to which I started to wonder howcome she has such a negative view of everything. Initially I tried to find solutions , tried to motivate her to develop a positive outlook, even tried to fight, thinking that this might bring some change in her. But all the above approaches proved futile. She is still the same.  Complaints about fitting of her socks to colour of her shirt, about the Metro to colleague in office. All day long.  Though I know it sounds irritating but as you know very well that HUSBANDS are not allowed to get irritated or angry :) . Also I didnot wanted that to happen as we have our whole life ahead and I knew that Getting irritated will not get us anywhere. So I sat thinking about it and then there  came that LIGHTBULB idea :) . I googled it and there came thousands of results. I started reading them and came to know a few facts which helped me to deal with the issue. First thing to know ...

WiReShark.......

Wireshark is a well-known software in Computer Network world. In this article, I will describe it in a very simple laymen language for everyone to understand. In the Computer world, we have heard of Internet. What Internet is, is a network of many computers connected together. Now let us compare it with the world around us. It is similar like all the houses are connected by roads. If houses represent our computers than roads are the wires which are connecting them together (here let's talk only about wired networks for the sake of simplicity). Also to enter each house we need to pass through a gate. Similarly in computer networks, there are equipments known as gateways which one need to pass to communicate to a computer.  As the picture of network is clear let us move on to its use. We know that information is continuously flowing in these networks. This information is of many types. These different type of informations is received and processed by different set of rules....
