A superb article by Ratna Rajaiah in the Indian Express exposes Murli Manohar Joshi’s shenanigans with the IIMs. All that Joshi and his brother-cretins will succeed in doing, of course, is swelling the ranks of the educated unemployed.
As Rajaih points out, Murli Manohar Joshi’s reduction of the IIM fees is going to do nothing except swell the ranks of the jobless. I’ve never understood this mentality in India: whenever anyone - politician, judge, lawyer, layman - hears the words ‘higher education’ he or she goes into a complete tizzy. Rank nonsense is spouted: teaching is a noble profession (therefore we don’t have to pay our teachers and schools must run at a loss); education should be cheap, but of the highest quality (how?); higher education is essential and so on. This is such rubbish. Higher education should be expensive, very expensive. It’s the vocational training that should be inexpensive, and the primary education that must be free and compulsory.
But who is tell the uneducated that?
