The Herd Mentality in Indian Education


Indian education is like Pavlov's dogs, conditioned to follow the latest trend from the West without questioning its relevance to our own needs. We blindly chase the latest buzzwords, whether it's AI, data science, or blockchain, without stopping to think if it solves our local problems.

We produce graduates who are expert in the latest American trends but clueless about the challenges facing our own country. Our education system is like a herd of sheep, following the leader without a thought.

But what about our own problems? What about the issues that need solving in our own backyard? We have problems like:

- Poor healthcare in rural areas

- Inefficient agriculture practices

- Limited access to clean water

- Chaotic traffic and transportation

Why are we not training our students to tackle these challenges? Why are we not encouraging them to think locally and find innovative solutions to our own problems?

We need to break free from this herd mentality and focus on what matters most to us. We need to produce thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers who can address the unique challenges facing our country.

Let us rethink our education system and prioritize local relevance over global trends. Let us train our students to be the solution-finders India needs.
