Education, the fulcrum of sustainable development, holds the key to “social inclusion.” It is one of the necessary conditions for advancing quality of life and freedom. In other words, universal access to quality knowledge and skills ensures that everybody has an equal opportunity to play full part in work and society.

Education is a broad term. Needless to say, it has to be holistic in nature, if we want to achieve more than merely producing graduates and post-graduates. But if I had to define it, I would say that education is to learn and unlearn and re-learn. It has to provide a very vast scope for growth, and yes, enough room for every incumbent to move at the desired pace.

Another monument is the Tomb of Janab-e-Aliya, Golaganj, protected by ASI under the Ancient Monument & Archaeological sites & Remains Act, 1958 (Act No. 24 of 1958), established by the British during the Indian Mutiny (Freedom Struggle) of 1857-58. It is a holy mausoleum surrounded by houses and ill-maintained.

I write here today to put forth my take on education in India. The inspiration has undoubtedly been The Viewspaper’s hour long twitter chat. Education and the Health services I believe are the two most important measures of a country’s state, and build the foundation of a nation. Where we stand today is difficult to decide though. There are two extremes that we are battling. One is an absolute calming white and the other a dark shady pitch black extreme.

The Viewspaper set up another Twitter chat yesterday as part of its current campaign. This time around we were discussing the issue of gender inequality.

The Viewspaper organized a twitter chat on the “State of Education in India” yesterday. With various people from the field of education coming in the chat discussed the potholes in the Indian Education system and the ways by which they can be filled.

The Viewspaper organized its first Twitter chat yesterday as a part of its ongoing social campaign. These twitter chats bring together different panelists from various fields, to discuss a whole plethora of topics. Yesterday’s topic was Women Security, given the current hoopla around women security after the increase in rape and sexual abuse in the country.

We humans are complex beings. We like to be secretive and simultaneously want the world to see and know us. All our lives, we wish to be known and be appreciated for whatever we do. We like it if the world knows whatever we are good at and celebrates it. Blogs definitely serve one part of this deal. They are a medium to showcase our talents and hobbies.

After months of protests and debates, the French parliament passed a bill allowing same sex couples to marry and adopt a child. And by passing this bill, France has become the 14th country to legalise same sex marriage.It was indeed great news, but it left me thinking. I had many questions in my mind like is gay marriage really possible? If yes, is it right thing to do? Then what about India? Is it legalized in India?

India is often addressed as Bharat Mata or mother India. Moreover, she is usually depicted as a woman clad in a saffron sari holding a flag, sometimes accompanied by a lion.Perhaps, the reason for that is the fact that we live on the principles of the Vedas, ancient texts, like Matru devo bhava (treat your mother like God).
