Reinventing education

India's size and variety are an ideal platform to try new models of education that would help us to mtake the lead in the 21st. century.Let's dare to move ahead as the future of our children and country is at stake.

     the modern methods of instruction have not
      entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.

Ramayana--a lexicon of Indian spiritualism

benefits of its reading
****************
Ramayana ensures piety and virtue.It demolishes all vice and stimulates the sense of absolute devotion.It is full to the brim with the nectar of Rama's love when all worldly attachment is repelled. One who has entered into this ocean of Sri  Rama's devotion can never get charred by the inferno of the physical existence.

eulogy to management guru CKP

CK's large ideas ,the core competency model --strategic thinking should start with looking at the core strengths of an organisation ---and the bottom -of-the-pyramid model--large companies can also sell to mthe lowest rungs of socity--were path-breaking.But so were his knowledge-building methods .He was an innovator in using MBA teams to follow individual companies ,and then collate the learning from the combined effort of all these teams into a cohesive ,systematic whole--this is what led to his best-selling and farbook,The Bottom of the Pyramid.In fact ,this is not just a book any more but a managemnent approach,adopted by many firms.At Ross,we have multiple courses with this approach as a cornerstone.Additionally ,his method of using MBA teams to create knowledge is now being used by business schools worldwide******Prof.Aradhna Prakash, Ross School of Business,Michigan University

Chart a new course

The Maoist attack in Dantewada has brought out two opposing arguments.One argument focuses on a savagely unequal socio-economic reality where State neglect and exploitation have spawned a fearsome response.The other view argues that unless the State forcefully stamps out the Maoists ,all attempts at addressing development are futile .Yet there is a third view distinct from the noblesse oblige of a welfarist  argument that places charity at its centre and theBismarckian blood-and -iron argument of those who believe in matching militancy with militancy .And  that  is the argument of reform.The revolution of the poor is calling for reform  from the rich .The Naxal challenge ,however criminalised and politically motivated it may be ,is calling to us create a new social  contract based on a  partnership of the rich and the poor.
     The word "reform" so far is sadly identified with finance markets and the industrial sector.Instead,if we are to reinvigorate the idea of India ,we will have to widen the definition of liberalisation to mean a liberalisation of government,police,and a liberalisation of the way we think and live.Without reforming  the mind ,genuine liberlisation cannot succeed.How should an elite visualise itself in a country of the poor?As cornering the benefits of real growth for themselves and throwing sacks of grain or a few threadware alphabet books at the servants"?That's the attitude of zamindars,not democrats.

War and civil rights

I believe that the death of 75 jawans inDantewara is an unfortunate fallout  of the government's wilful policy of pursuing Operation Green Hunt ,We consider the war against the so-called left wing extremists a wrong policy at a time when the country has been reeling under unprecedented  drought, crop failure and price rise.
     We can only lament the folly of the Indian GOVERNMENT WHICH LACKS THE COURAGE AND IMAGINATION TO PERSUE A NON-MILITARISTIC PATH.
