Nice post. IMHO, one of the biggest problem India is facing (or will face in the near future) is the quality of education. Our so called professional colleges have been churning out millions of Engineers and MBAs every year, but only a few of them are employable. The younger generation sees education as just a way to get a job to make money. The private managements which run the colleges consider education as a lucrative money making business.
This has to change. We may be having some IITs and IIMs which might be making us proud, but if we want to sustain development and create a strong workforce, then we have to start working from the beginning. Revamp the courses at schools. Throw away the age-old syllabuses and bring in new generation ones.
But in a country where a cartoon of a political figure caused one of the biggest uproars of recent times, I can only express my sympathy to the future generations.
