This morning there was a very informative programme about contributions of Indian kings in Cambodia on `NATGEO People' TV channel.
Oddly, such amazing facts of history are not even mentioned in our school history textbooks.
Instead of inculcating values including taking pride in our heritage and contribution of our ancestors, parents and teachers of today seem to place aggressively strong pressure on children only to score marks, succeed in the job market and live comfortably. In other words we seem to be keen on transforming our youngsters into money making machines.
Every right minded school academic in our country knows as to how value education is arrogantly pushed aside in favour of other curricular subjects for no right reason such that our youngsters are stressed and arrogant without knowing their roots.
