What Drives Awakening Of Mind To The Wonders $ Mysteries Of The Universe..??

“Education makes the people easy to lead, but difficult to drive, easy to govern, but impossible to enslave”- Lord Brougham.

This is true, for without education man is a shade better than an animal. The word `education` is derived from a Latin word meaning `to draw out`. Thus it is the drawing out of the mental faculties o a person which is essential for leading a happy life. In its absence people behave like a flock of sheep that can only be herded. Lack of education among the poor and the downtrodden is vulnerable to economic and political exploitation. Though adequate provisions to ensure their empowerment have been made in the constitution, the fruits of economic development have not percolated down to them. This is because lack of education deprives them of the power to claim their right. They are economically exploited by the landlords, petty traders. Politically they fall easy prey to the mechanization of crafty politicians.

Awakening their mind to the wonders $ mysteries of the universe, would help to remove doubts and superstition. It would help in the eradication of many social evils that plague the society like child marriage, dowry etc. besides eradication social evils it would improve health and sanitation thereby making their lives comfortable and happy. Their enlightened mind would reason logically $ not to be carried away by false or illogical promises of power brokers.

An enlightened electorate would also auger well for the country; for it would strengthen democracy. The people in the true sense would be able to elect good honest leaders. Leaders that empathize with them, and are able to appreciate national problems rather than be misguided by vested, selfish sectarian interests. Education of the masses is necessary to safeguard our independence for it would enable them to exercise their franchise without fear or favour. This would indeed make them master of their destiny.
