Truce you guys. Truce. Again all of u friends have a common goal and common frustration.

Let me give an example here. In Ramayan when Ravan is dying Lord Ram sends his brother Laxman to Ravan so that he can learn few things coz Lord Ram knew  Ravan ,though evil was very knowkedgeable and a lot of things can be learnt from him.

The point is why can't we take lessons from the good examples from the countries which has given us hard time. The point is not what India thinks of Nepal and how it treats Nepal. The point is how it has done for itself and how we can do for ourself. I am trying to put an example so that we can learn something.

Education and proficiency in education is never dependent upon mode of study. It can be any language Nepali, english and Sanskrit..we can still be equally qualified. The issue is to gain knowledge. Ability to speak and communicate in an alien language is an added benefit, which definitely does not hurt. The idea is to gain knowledge.

Talking of English, yes in todays world of globalization, it is important to know more than one language. The better u r in a language like English, which still is widely spoken over the world, can only help.

I am not advocating India or USA or anyone. But India gained independence in 1947, a year later Pakistan did. Nepal gained democracy roughly at that time. Look what happened today, India has evolved to a almost superpower despite having UP and Bihar. Pakistan is running a musical chair between dictators and democracy and so has Nepal. For all it's vices India has sustained democracy for more than 50 years. Lets sustain it for 100 years then.

WE HAVE A GOOD SYSTEM WITH BAD LEADERS. THE POSITIVE IS AT LEAST WE GOT DEMOCRACY WITHOUT AS MUCH VIOLENCE AS SAY AFRICAN COUNTRIES.

So now at least that we have a system..lets capitalize on that.

Lets not deviate from the original issue.

Unicornis makes a valid issue of Darzeeling based teachers. Hari dai's argument about education is very appaling. Well the objective of education should be to produce qualified people with moral responsibility and ethics who can in turn produce more of the same. Language is secondary, but if one is good in other languages, it is added qualification which should be always welcome.
