Education and Politics

Just read the Yahoo cover story on "How educated are our Ministers?" They give a long lasting list of different degrees with some other higher degrees and some foreign degrees too of  our Honorable Ministers of India. But are those degrees make them capable enough to run our "The Constitution"??

Does some degrees from here and there can give them the authority to run a country??

As we know in India education is very important and it is no more an option. We need to be educated to scale new heights and to stand in  this competitive world. Almost everyone wants their children to be highly educated and it has turned into a new never ending race.

The education system of India may not be the perfect one, but yet it is one of the best. In recent times, many changes have been made in the education system by adding new scheme and techniques. For different fields, different sets of colleges in national level and private level are built all over India. Different fields with different subjects, different colleges, different degrees, higher degrees, jobs, government jobs, private jobs. Doctors. Engineers. Lawyers. Teachers. Bankers. etc.etc. The more you are educated, the higher the post and salary you get.

But what about politics??

Have you heard any exam in which if we score highest we can be the President or the Prime Minister or The Financial Minister ?? Have you seen any college  giving the knowledge of Political science. I may sound funny, but did you?? Doesn't we need educated ones there?? I mean, yes there are subjects and courses like "Political Science" but does that give us direct access to be at a reputable post and be the part of  The Constitution of India? No. Never.

My only question is, "Why ??!" 

When we need qualification of the subjects in every other field why not there? Isn't it necessary to give a quality education there??

Any person from anywhere can choose politics, whether they are educated or not. Why don't we give power to someone who is highly educated in this particular field. For every other fields we have set good competition level by having different "All India Level Exams". Why not in politics we have such exams. Why we don't have colleges which teaches us "How to run India" or "What exactly we should do for the growth of India"??

Besides, what about the "eligibility criteria" ?? ( i.e., age limits) For every other fields we have age limits. ( Bade Bade aksharoo mein it is written *MANDATORY* ) Why not in politics? On one side we say that youth should take part and interest in politics on the other hand we give power to the those who are just counting their last breaths. Personally, I have no interest in watching such aged men in politics (and we can't call Rahul Gandhi,42, a youth leader). Hello, Wake up! We need youngsters and by youngsters I mean people who are in their 25's or 40's. 

Leaders ruling the parties say youth is not that mature. I agree. Youth may not be that diplomatic but at least they have tendency to bind the nation together. Youth may not have patience, but they have the quality of listening everyone's problem. Youth might not have solution but at least they won't exaggerate it. And specially, they are not CORRUPTED.

Wasting time and money in making parties, rallies, putting big-big flex of political leaders on hoardings (which reads, Munna bhaiya ko janam din ki hardik shubkamanaye, Oh God Why??!) rather give some valuable time for making a profound constitution. We have tough competition for every other post, then why not for POLITICS.

I know what all I wrote sounds weird but I am just suggesting and keeping my point. I do have faith on the leaders. I do love my country and I love its people but also being an "aam 

Janta" I can come up with an idea or suggestion. Give responsibilities on someone who deserve it. I know we have fair methods of voting, but once they are voted we know how much works they do. Corruption is main problem India is facing now and that is because the power is not in the good hands. There should be a change. I know I am no one to bring a change but at least I am someone who can share his ideas.
