It was always thought that education makes people free, independent in their thought process, making life more meaningful and worthwhile. What you see around you is just the opposite.
You have people rolling out of IITs with their Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and holding superfluous and superstitious views. Parents on one hand want their sons and daughter to have the best of education and on the other hand to hold on to irrational visions.
It reminds one of China, where the authoritarian rulers do not want their citizens to think (churning out products designed by the Western countries) but at the same time wants to come out of this catch-22 situation (churning goods to become the second largest economy) and take the country to the next level to creativity.
It’s like being in a state of authoritarian democracy, where some of the elite class rules over the mass who needs to be controlled, and are by and large ignorant and distracted.
