Education is a weapon that helps to dominate the world. The nation which possesses this weapon automatically becomes a superpower and QS WORLD UNIVERSITY RANKINGS tells us this. Top four out of five universities belong to US, the fifth one belongs to UK. In first 200 universities India has just one that is University of Delhi at 195 rank.

India was the Golden Sparrow and a super power. We held 24% of global GDP because we dominated the education system. We had Taxshila, Vikramshila, Nalanda which give birth to pioneers in education. Religion was a small part which was taught in these institutions . Our temples resemble our architecture. In the field of mathematics we discovered zero, decimal system, value of pi. For geography we made the first globe, we calculated the circumference of Earth and that earth revolves around sun. For physics Charak wrote Parmanuwad . These are the small parts which were taught here.

To rule us it was important to destroy our education system which was done by Thomas Macaulay and Charles Woods . The told us we are inferior and we believed them and we started working over their education system. No doubt this system has given us gems like Vikram Sarabhai, Dr. Kalam and many more but at the same time we forgot the education system made by our ancestors.

Now is the time we have realized our mistake and we are working over implementing the new education policy in which we will be witnessing the integration of arts commerce and science . With the formation of national research foundation we will be having research in various fields which will help us. This will help us to become the initiators of technology.

Along with this we will be focusing over the skill development of the students and we will be focusing over the skill development of the students which will help us utilize the energy in the secondary sector of our economy which at last will help us in becoming a production giant further resulting in India becoming an economic giant which is quintessential for us. This will provide us our lost status of Golden Sparrow.

Sure. Education is the right answer. Anyone disagreeing must see our friend and neighbor Pakistan, which values uneducated, religious fanatics. Please see the difference. So what is the explanation for an education workforce in India that has yet to produce a manufactured product that anyone is willing to pay a premium for, and buy without cut-rate price? How come despite a vast army of IT professionals, India has not produced a single killer-app (there is no Indian Google or Microsoft, although both firms do employ Indians). How is it that despite all the education, we are still a goonda-raj, and hopelessly corrupt to the extent that there is no law and order, no property rights, and political office is a key tool for personal enrichment. Education is good. But what exactly is it good for?
