Let me put it ...Thanks Spring for sharing a chord. Let me put it this way. Say, mother has asked two brothers to get something from the market. After shopping they are returning home, walking. The elder, stronger brother is carrying the heavier bag, the younger, weaker none or a lighter bag. If opposite (stronger taking lighter load) happens, we disagree, call it obscene, call it exploitation and if possible try to correct it by engaging us with the elder, stronger brother. <br /><br />The same applies to us too. The more capable we are, the more is our responsibility towards the nation. The more responsible we are, the more should be our effort to enhance our capacity. The deprived millions have a stake in me. If I fail, I make them fail too. Therefore, I need to give my best and make the best of the opportunity that comes in my way. <br /><br />The nation is not in a position to give all the students the best of the education. Only a handful of students in IITs get it while the vast majority languish as has been mentioned in this post. The idea behind IITs that are 'dedicated to the service of the nation' is to create excellence and when these excellent students give it back to the society there is a multiplying effect and the opportunities reach more and more underprivileged.<br /><br />We got freedom in 1947. If we look at lives of Feroza, Mithu - can they be called free? Don't they look like a slave of a barbarian age? Can we call ourselves civilized? Can we stand before any other nation with head held high? <br /><br />We need another freedom struggle where the fight is against inequality, hunger, lack of education, health, employment - first of all we need to inculcate the sense of responsibility. Next we should empower us as much as possible so that we can give back more. Finally, a team effort not only enhances each one's spirit but is more effective. Developing a team in this networked age should not be difficult. Work can start in any of the IITs and then it can be scaled up to other IITs, NITs etc.Goutam Sahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667983695459031826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581324636265208267.post-45978253452438570552010-09-15T08:47:51.141-07:002010-09-15T08:47:51.141-07:00I happened to come across this blog...
