No decent person sends their children to government school in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Only those who are illiterate, beggar type people, whose children won't be doing any work which will involve reading or writing, who will be working in the farm, or selling vegetables or peanuts in local trains or working as a servant, attend government school.
But everyone who has studied in private school, everyone who will never send their children to government school, is pressurizing the government to fill in vacancies in the schools before state elections.
And every government before the election promises to fill the vacancies.
No government ever promises to improve the school. Nobody who is saying that they will vote out the government if vacancies are not filled, says anything about he/she will teach seriously, improve conditions.
Those who send their children to government school, they don't care.
Everywhere in the enlightened part of the world, school is meant to teach children, children are the focus of school.
Here at least in Bihar and UP, for educated people, the middle class, it is a means to make money.
That is why middle class people get educated in private schools, so as to be able to get a job in government schools.
For politicians schools are a means to give jobs to the middle class to win elections.
Education is not meant to educate ourselves, but to get a piece of paper which will get us entry in a new class, get us a government job.
We do everything like that.
Here nothing is attached to karma, work.
Vikas Dubey, a gangster of Brahmin caste who had killed eight policemen was killed in encounter with police one year ago in UP.
He was considered good by many Brahmins, and say at least 10% Brahmins were outraged when he was killed.
They don't feel outraged when a person of Brahmin caste eats meat or visits prostitute or kills someone. They were outraged for a gangster.
Says so much how much attached we are to blind habits.
Then a private school teacher in town would get a 5000 salary and the middle class send their children to those schools,
While a government teacher earning 40-50 thousand salary is not delivering. Only illiterate people send their children to them.
And before every election teachers go on strike, to demand an increase in salary, new pay commission.
So society itself is the judge of the utility of what they are producing through their governments.
Which means for the masses the government is an institution for money making.
A well functioning system is seen in all developed countries.
But people still have not adapted to the state and system.
They still live ignorant and driven by selfishness and narrow-mindedness.
Schools are one of the most important units for imparting consciousness about the importance of nation and system as a means to collective wellbeing, imparting rationality, skill, and hence prosperity.
And this is how society treats this thing.
It is perpetuation of caste mentality. People feel entitled to that government salary.
Caste is essentially a sense of entitlement. Exists because of lack of mobility.
Lack of mobility is a person not seeing much change in overall equilibrium, with time.
Like I said in India, Kings, Jamindars were not expected to deliver to the public, but enjoy, have chaperons, and have classical life.
Their dazzling life is expected to dazzle the eyes of commoners, who are expected to see the divinity and power of that dazzle and bow down.
Once an edifice has been built, inhabitants are concerned only about who gets which room in the edifice.
Those who get the best rooms find ways to ensure that they stay in the best rooms.
They seek to codify that calling upon religion, which was kind of law in the old days.
That has become a habit. So even after edifice is turned into rubble, mentality is there.
It feels very painful when people have accepted it as their birthright and then someone questions it.
There is a sense of entitlement in Bureaucrats.
There is a sense of entitlement in opinion makers in Lutyens Delhi, opinion making gangs of Kolkata, and South Mumbai.
They can not be examined on the basis of facts, can not be questioned, they feel entitled to be taken seriously.
They are the new Brahmins. This new Brahmin of the system abuses everything which is related to Sanatan Dharma, Indian history, because it survives on treachery, calumny, foreign funds etc.
Sense of entitlement is very natural.
Everyone feels some sense of entitlement.
Call of duty is to be taught, and doesn't come easy, comes late.
Nehru Gandhi family is best example of people's habit of sense of entitlement. Lalus both son, Akhilesh, Aditya Thakre, they all represent sense of entitlement which is deep rooted in Indian psyche.
Lee Kuan was right about India on many things.
