Education !

Education can be broadly classified into four, Namely ;
1. Useful Education
2. Useless Education
3. Dangerous Education
4. Nuisance Education

Lord Sree Rama possesed all the qualities ideally a man should be seeking for, his education not only helped himself but also played a massive role in the uplipftment of the society. He destroyed ferocious anti social element Ravana thereby portraying the fact that evil can be surpassed by good.
This type of education can be referred to as USEFUL EDUCATION.

When Arjuna was passing through a forest, he was awestruck by the immense skill of archery that was being displayed by an anonymous person, daresay adroit at disposal was as prolific as Arjuna's, who himself was gifted at archery. Out of sheer curiousity Arjuna confronted that person and asked "Sir, from which university are you ? Are you from NIT ? or BITS ? Oh you are from IIT?." Reply was rather prompt, he said "I am from Drona University". Arjuna was baffled, "Sir, I am from Drona university as well, I am stayinng at the hostel, but have never seen you there, how do i understand this anomaly?" The stranger said "I am a student of Drona's Correspondence Course". You might now conceive, who I am talking about, yes it is indeed Ekalavya.
Unfortunate blend of events made Ekalavya sacrifice his thumb for Dronacaharya as "Guru Dakshina", whatever might be the reasons, the education he arduously acquired came neither to his benifit or to others, this is nothing but USELESS EDUCATION.

Caste system was profoundly prevailing at the time with which this event is associated . A young and dynamic person blessed with immense talent was looking forward to an admission into a reputed university which was tenable considering his capabilities. Caste constraints lamentfully restricted his admission which left the lad only with a distress. While he was walking out of the university premises, he was approached by a clerk enquiring reason for the grief, after having learnt what the youngster said, he demanded certain amount which we now understand by the term "bribe" and suggested him to go to the village panchayat requesting them for a fake caste certificate at some definite price. The kid dutifully follwed everything of it and finally earned himself a seat in his dream university.
Two years have passed and as expected the boy turned out to be a topper in the university, suddenly things have taken an unexpected turn and college administration found out about the illegal methods he had employed to earn himself a seat and withount a second thought was thrown out of the university. The expelled student was struck with distraught and only hatred on the society was prevailing in the young mind, at this time of crisis he was offered a helping hand by an opportunist and now, his only aim is to RETURN THE FAVOR.
Karna became an accomplice of kouravas, he used his knowledge against the "Dharma" for the destruction of the society. Certainly the education he possed is DANGEROUS, better not have educated people at all than have those who go about tearing the society apart.

I do not want to discuss NUISANCE EDUCATION as I deem it unnecessary considering the readers that visit this blog.

What kind of education are you having ?
