What’s the point of the Indian

education system
If I were to ask this question to you and you could be
pragmatic. You could give the most boring response
and say it’s to get a job. What happen if you get a job?
I’ll have financial security I’ll get a good spouse. I’ll have
genetically perfect children, I’ll put them into the
education system and the process continues. So in short
the education system is to propagate our species; not
very attractive when I say like that,is it?

But then what else is education system good for? A lot

of people say it is to create the best mind in their
respective fields and I think that’s not far from the true.

“The best in India will always the best in the world when
comes to education.” Now that’s something we can be
really be proud about. But about it, the best in India the
people who achieve things (Nobel laureates, athletes)
even in education they are the best despite the
education system and not because of it. So come back
to my original question, What is the point of the Indian
Education System. It has bugged me for a while.

But in an attempt to know it I went way back to its origin.

To the early 1800s back in England when the INdustrial
Revolution was in full swing and the East India Company
had just started their business in India and they were
have this problem called communication. At that point
they didn’t know how communicate with the Indians
because our culture is so vast and there are many
languages. So they turned to this one man Thomas
Babington Macaulay. They asked him to go to India and
figure out a way to teach the Indians. He did come and
stayed in India with his sister after bribing her half a
million dollars but in that time span he didn’t attempt to
learn a single Indian language. He went back and
circulated a memo - called the minute to education
system in which he wrote that the all the books written
in Sanskrit language are less valuable that the
literature taught in the primary schools in England; too
much superiority complex but he got his way through
and then came the English Education act of 1835. It was
implemented primarily so that we can bridge the gap
between the British and the Indians. The education was
meant to be in english and what Macauly said what that
education should be utilitarian. He wanted education to
have a purpose and back then the East Indian Company
needed clerks to sit at a desk do what they are told
without getting too creative. Sounds familiar does it
not?
