The issue in Indian employment system is blind trust

Employment issue in India 

How blind trust keeps you ignorant: 

Blind trust in political scenarios can cause destruction of a society.

During my MBA, I did an assignment on employment issues in India. The question was ‘Why is there employment issues in India’ and I found two main reasons-

1. Education-skill gap
2. Stagnant industrialisation

Why is there an education-skill gap-

1. Marks-focused rat race
2. Low pass marks

Why is there a rat race?

1. Old tutors in bureaucratic system teaching to mug up books
2. Fear of losing
3. Envy

Why is the pass mark low?

1. Politics- politicians want votes from young men and therefore the pass mark has been reduced to make them think that the politicians are helping the young people with educational success. 
2. Old tutors want us to mug up books because during the British period, they needed laborers with minimal skills. From this suppression, the mentality of Fear of Losing and Envy came.
3. Another reason for Fear of Losing and Envy is the fear of being outcast from a highly bonded Indian society.
4. This Fear of Losing and Envy gave birth to power hunger and feeds Politics. 

Power Hunger in politics has been there from the start since Nehru became the prime minister. Every political party plays the blaming-game and brainwashes the young mind.

Young people are not made aware of this fact that they are being brainwashed.

The ineffective education system implemented during British rule removed critical thinking from the Indian mindset. Children are not taught to think critically.

Why did our ancestors not prevent invaders in the first place?

The reason why colonisation happened in the first place is the concept of ‘Athithi Debo Bhava’…. It is followed by books.

If Vasco Da Gama had been stopped in the first place, no Portuguese Inquisition would have happened in Goa. I learned about this horrific incident from Shefali Vaidya and a Bengali book by Nilanjan Sarkar ‘14e February’. And believe me, the torture done by Portuguese is 1000x worse than British torture.

F*ck ‘Atithi Debo Bhava’.

Our ancestors have always been polite and they did not stand up for themselves at the right time.

Siraj-Ud-Daulla was the last free Nawab of India. He ruled in Murshidabad, West Bengal in India. He declared war against the British when Britishers wanted to claim Bengal. But his commander Mirzafar betrayed him to get benefits from Britishers. Siraj fled from the battle to save his life but got caught. The Britishers were taking him to the prison and the citizens were standing beside the road.

One British police officer shared that experience. He said that there were so many people that if each of them threw just one pebble at them, they all would have been buried under a mountain.

But the citizens remained silent spectators. They are afraid to protest.

We suffered for too long and many are still suffering. Inquisition still happens in Assam, Kerala, West Bengal.

Back to the employment issue in India…

On the other hand, why is Industrialisation stopped?

1. India was totally dependent on farming before colonisation. But during colonisation, service-based companies grew because Indians were employed as labours. We missed the knowledge of industrialisation.
2. Even a few years ago, India focused on importing ready-made products rather than manufacturing and exporting. India has experienced a fiscal deficit every year since 1947.
3. MNCs are mostly established in large cities because amenities like logistics and connectivity are easily available there

The reasons why manufacturing industries are low are:

1. Lack of capital
2. Risk-aversion
3. Poverty
4. Bureaucratic delay due to regulation
5. Lack of practical knowledge (Proves the Education-Skill gap)

Current scenario

But the scenario is improving little by little these days

1. The Modi government’s ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-dependant India), ‘Made in India’ and ‘Make in India’ schemes are encouraging entrepreneurs. Many manufacturing companies have emerged in the last few years.
2. People are being more educated about legal aspects. Recently a new stream named ‘B Tech LLB’ has started which teaches about engineering along with law. This will help budding entrepreneurs get proper legal knowledge for starting a business. Because often, there is capital available but not enough awareness about how to access it.
3. People are becoming more aware about socio-political scenarios these days. Social media is a nice tool for this. In one side, it can be used for recruiting terrorists and on the other hand, it can be used to educate people. Double edged swords should be used wisely.

India will become glorious soon with all these. But there is still much path to walk to reach a glorious stage, awareness is the only thing that can change the mindset. We need to analyse critically and make good decisions. 

WAKE UP!!

Gen Y and Gen Z need to fucking wake up. Because Boomers and Gen X are too old to change their mindset now. Gen Y and Z need to teach Gen A. 

Don’t fall into the trap of the educational system.
