A large number of local traders gathered at the vegetable market and started tearing apart the sweater stores set up by the Tibetan sweater traders on Tuesday in Bahadurgarh

Tibetans women kept on pleading "Brothers, we have come here so that we can feed our children, please don’t destroy our stores. It will ruin our livelihood. We seek refuge in your city."

We in India think that our education system and curriculum is really good and we create competitive and bright kids..

Competitive... True! But bright... I doubt! I believe lots need to be done in education system. The way we teach science and maths and all the subjects are more of chores than anything. We don't deploy or adopt ways of truly making the subjects interesting. Just sticking to the curriculum and age old books... Is that it? No practical application of subjects. Things need to change. Kids make their most important decisions of life in 10th and 12th standards. If they don't know the potential of what they are learning, the subjects and their practical application, how would they choose their right calling? This one thing needs to change. Teachers should be passionate about their subjects OR only passionate people should be made teachers. They should use a fun and practical way of teaching. Kids need to really understand the subject and to relate to it's practical application on our day to day lives. Only then kids will have a true free choice to select their subjects of choice.

Solution to this could be a parallel system with interesting and engaging curriculum apps, games, videos or selected lectures from across the world. Gamification Concepts can further help to make these lessons and learnings more interesting. We should start with 7th to 10th standard curriculum... As this is the most important time in a child's potential future. We ask our kids to make big decisions (arts or science) during this age. Most of the kids generally succumb to their parents wish list and aspirations. Knowing little of what they really want... And this eventually leads to sub par or average performance in kid's future professions. They seldom are able to reach True excellence. Excellence could only be achieved when people work further to develop their natural talents and interests. And only then they are able to contribute the best of their true potential. Everything else is sub par.

So, we need to develop interesting and practical content for standards 7th through 10th as a first step. We can also leverage concepts from popular MOOC model of learning. Positive Intervention with these kids (7-10 standard) can exponentially impact the world in next 5-10 years.

Thoughts?

Its a matter of debate that whether some of the growth parameters that the Indian economy has shown in the last couple of years are heavily derived from falling oil prices or from a structural uptick in the internal economy. The verdict shall play itself out if oil reverses its direction now

We saw a great discussion on 'building a Tibetan Internet Army' Building a Tibetan Internet Army - AwareMonk I can notice that a few young people questioned unity of people fighting for its freedom. They pointed out that are Tibetans jointly fighting in the movement or they are divided by the idea of middle way approach and complete freedom. Why don't we Tibetans here discuss it and make it clear that we are fighting Chinese together.
