"NEET a mess. CBSE a mess. Education sector a mess. Students lives a mess. But education minister is busy offering prayers in a bizarre display of sycophancy."

"Indian govt can provide free ration, but not free education.
They want people alive enough to vote, but not educated enough to question."

"Isn't it shameful that the Education Minister of our country has such little confidence in his own department that he sends his daughter abroad for studies!"

"In a country where countless politicians, celebrities, media anchors and businessmen have sold themselves, bowed down in front of fascist powers, in fear of getting arrested.
People like Abhijeet are a rare gem, truly brave and fearless."

आकांक्षा डॉक्टर बनकर देश और समाज की सेवा करना चाहती थी। आकांक्षा के पिता किसान हैं। बेटी के डॉक्टर बनने के सपने के लिए किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड पर ₹3 लाख का कर्ज़ लिया। और नागपुर में खुद कुक की नौकरी कर ली, ताकि बेटी वहाँ coaching कर सके।
एक पिता ने जो कर सकता था, सब किया।
फिर NEET पेपर लीक हुआ। परीक्षा रद्द हुई। उस अनिश्चितता में आकांक्षा हमें छोड़ कर चली गई।
आकांक्षा की मौत आत्महत्या नहीं - मोदी जी की एक भ्रष्ट, टूटी हुई व्यवस्था की देन है।
और धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी? आज भी कुर्सी पर हैं।
फिर वही कमेटी। वही ट्रांसफर। वही जाँच। न सुधार, न न्याय।
मोदी जी, कुर्सी स्थायी नहीं होती - आती-जाती रहती है। लेकिन आपने 12 वर्षों में शिक्षा व्यवस्था को जिस हद तक बर्बाद किया है, उसकी कीमत भारत की एक पूरी युवा पीढ़ी चुका रही है।

Why China got rich, and India didn't - David Oks
https://davidoks.blog/p/why-china-got-rich-and-india-didnt
Despite starting from similar positions of poverty in 1950, China and India experienced a significant economic divergence, with China becoming a manufacturing superpower while India lagged behind.
The timing of economic liberalization 1978 for China and 1991 for India does not fully explain the divergence, as China continued to outpace India's growth rates decades after both had opened their markets.
Policy differences and cultural variations are insufficient to explain the growth gap, as both nations faced inefficiencies and possessed distinct cultural histories that were not primary drivers of the divergence.
The core of the Sino-Indian divergence lies in human capital development, which China aggressively pursued between 1950 and 1980, while India largely failed to do so.
The Chinese state underwent a brutal, forced social modernization that dismantled traditional structures like kinship units, arranged marriages, and patriarchal authority, effectively preparing the population for industrial modernity.
Maoist China achieved significant progress in mass education and public health, raising literacy rates and life expectancy substantially before the country even began its transition to capitalism.
India maintained a more stable, democratic, and peaceful post-independence trajectory but failed to implement the radical social reforms necessary to break down traditional caste and family constraints.
Legislative attempts at social reform in India, such as the Hindu Code Bill, were frequently diluted or rendered ineffective by traditionalist opposition and weak enforcement, leaving the old social order largely intact.
India's neglect of mass education and its failure to integrate women into the workforce resulted in a smaller, less productive labor pool compared to China's modernized, mobile, and literate workforce.
The primary takeaway is that long-term economic success is fundamentally rooted in investing in human capital ensuring citizens are healthy, educated, and free from restrictive traditional social barriers.

"A 17 year old Sarthak & a 19 year old Nisarga have ripped apart the credibility of CBSE, and we are yet to see action taken against the ones responsible or resignations over their incompetence.
Kudos to the kids. Taking on the system is never easy. Massive respect towards them."
