"But i 'm still not convienced that We need degrees before democracy." Those are your words, not mine. I refuse to have to defend the words you put into my mouth. What I said is clear and available for anyone to read. "We are illiterate but we are not dumb. we have made many big decisions in the history. My only concern- i wish we could have made informed decision." Hence education. "You took my "influencial voice" in a wrong sense. That voice is not mine nor is yours, who have the innate instinct of ruling and dominating people. The voice is the one that gives the different perspectives and a complete picture. Even a partial picture from different sources would be a better influential voice." Sorry, I just didn't get it. Either too nonsense or too abstract. Or poorly expressed (in which case, please restate). "What high school education does? Even the policy is flaw less, this education just casts the mind either in your mould or mine which always wants to ignore the complete picture." I disagree. It's only the educated individuals can who effectively pursue "the complete picture", and won't settle for anything less. "With the High school Education in such scenario, we are just creating a bunch of loyal, obedient and little more skilled servant for future." That's so ridiculous. Just think what kind of settings/scenario existed when you got your high school education. Or are you just one of the "bunch of loyal, obedient and little more skilled servant for future"? Do you realize how crucial the role was of the students during the 1990 Jana Andolan? (Or even now, for that matter) "And finally, No republic, just freedom is what we tried after 1990 and you see where we are now. Let's try a new thing. what do we have to lose more?" Sure. Lets go for it. The only thing I'm afraid of is that people like you, who think only one-dimensional, will end up occupying the powerful posts again and not give enough emphasis on educating the poor and disfranchised. Thanks!
