Empowering your Future...

The architects of modern India envisioned India to be a progressive society. A society which will progress not only by blessings of the almighty,but also by building on each and every achievements in its stride.
India chose to take the Non alignment path, but its inclination to the erstwhile USSR was more than visible. Not only did India take assistance from USSR in building the might of its armed forces, but also took inspiration from their socialist school of thoughts.
For a country recovering from over two hundred years of imperialism, going gung-ho on industrialization would have been as suicidal as self immolation. A lot of thought, time and money was put into designing the social structure of our country which was waking upto the harsh relalities of sovreignity.
To create equality in the society, tools such as reservation, subsidies, protectionism and liscenses were used. All of them did make an impact but only limited.
All the leaders and social scientists knew what the real impact area would be, but the limitations to implement it successfully has been the biggest challenge. 'Right to Education' bill (Article 21A) which is one of the most debated bills of the recent times was rejected by the Parliament citing the extraordinary costs involved in it.
I feel this is where the efforts of all the visionaries of the modern India were undone. If you cannot guarantee education to the children of your nation, then you future is doomed. Once everybody is provided compulsary education, noone would ever need quotas and more quotas & only 'merit' would be the order of the day...
