Comments on: Lok Sabha Education Level http://prashantmullick.com/wlog/2004/04/28/lok-sabha-education-level/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:50:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Niket http://prashantmullick.com/wlog/2004/04/28/lok-sabha-education-level/#comment-29 Niket Tue, 04 May 2004 18:04:18 +0000 http://kyun.org/blog/2004/04/28/lok-sabha-education-level/#comment-29 I find two things tragic 1. tragicomix's comment that every tom, laloo and jaya can buy a degree. FYI, both laloo and jaya happen to be well educated. Oh heck, even Subramaniam Swamy has a PhD from Harvard. This shows the lack of respect we have for politicians. The primary reason being that politicians acts as jokers most of the time. But have we thought the problem might be within us. I am not ready to give up on Indian political process, I am not too cynical about our politicians... at least NOT YET. 2. That 48.03% of Lok Sabha members being graduates surprized Sushubh. It surprized me too - the number is too low than it ought to be. But perhaps it is apt, considering the Indian demographics. How the hell can we think ourselves to be on our way to be the "IT powerhouse" or whatever with such numbers? We have a long way to go, and have a lot of struggle ahead of us. But I am happy and hopeful because we may have faltered at times, but we are still developing and not regressing. I find two things tragic
