How Is Politics Influencing Education?

Delhi, April 23, 2017: In a Democratic setup, one has to pay heed to myriads of factors like Caste, Creed, Religion, etc. But Education is something that helps your quest to the pinnacle and keeps aside all those factors. A Man with adequate knowledge through the way of education can rise on the crest of success and hence it is required to be encapsulated from bureaucracy.

Education brings awareness of the surroundings and helps a person to raise his voice on issues concerned with morality and ethical rights. But what if Bureaucracy and Totalitarian get involved in the Education System?. For say, In India reservation is given to people of the backwards class to help them from their miserable conditions and avail benefits which otherwise becomes difficult for them. The idea behind reservation is to uplift them above the lines where they can not manage to reach. However, few people have misinterpreted the law and thus demand reservation despite having everything at their notch. They treat the reservation as their birthright and forgets the rationale behind the proposed law. Turns out, repercussions are faced by the unreserved students which are supposedly more intellectual than their reserved category counterparts.

Apart from this many political parties gets rallied for a common purpose which ignites rivalry amongst the student wing. Rivalries occur due to widespread diversities in caste, creeds and extremism. In India, if you have a stand or an action for your moral right then you have to switch to infamous tactics like protests or hunger strikes. But when students become the part of this agitation and hoist for their rights, the hard-hitting truth is that no political party comes into the picture to support the real cause. The students we have met so far tell how much they had to lost to get their simple and genuine request heard from the government. You will not be heard by Political parties unless you do not have sources and references. Education should be seen as sharing the knowledge among people and not as a means to succumb to politics and be at the helm of it.
