Once I asked a student from Class 11 or 12 to say a few lines about India. Pat came the answer "The name of my country is.. it is a great nation.. stretches from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.. freed from the British by Mahatma Gandhi.. Nehru was the first Prime Minister..
I was stunned. Is this the identity of our country or its history? If this is the identity, does it have any space for a future? If a Class 12 student does not associate India's present with its identity, does not imagine a tomorrow, or does not see a place for himself or herself in its future, then something is amiss! Are we producing the future generation of citizens or citizens that dwell in the past?

Serious issue to be taken on front! Education can not be taken only as a race to win Degrees. Language barrier should also be removed while communicating and sharing the ideas.
