INDIA IN 2060: How things have changed

 

2060: HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED

My neighbor is very happy today. He distributed all the strawberries of his home garden. His only son has successfully qualified the masters of Edaphology. The study of soil and stuff, you know. He is going to earn a lot. Work in the agriculture department has evolved in recent times. Students dream of a flourishing career in the field of agricultural science. In my time, there was a great craze for the engineering and medical stream. Students taking these streams were considered more intelligent and studious. For some, it was a matter of family prestige. The charm of learning coding and artificial intelligence was increasing. Apart from this, teachers and counselors were trying to burst myth about the false valor of science stream and encouraging students to choose a stream what fits their goal and interests.

When I compare education and society back in 2015 and now, I am flabbergasted. The education system has totally changed. People do things that suit their interests. The environment of fear regarding education that once existed has subsided to a great extent. Kids around me aspire to be bakers, artists, rock stars, farmers, gardeners, bloggers, writers and so. One could never proudly say that they wished to be a baker during my time. One could feel proud in mentioning that he was good at these kinds of stuff or rather these were his/her passion but would hardly think of making it their profession. I guess people have now realized that in life as small as 65-70 years, they ought to be happy in whichever field they are rather than running behind money.

 The most surprising thing of all is that the farmers today are richer than most of general engineers. Today India has got so many engineers that they are jobless. Most of them have switched professions and have become farmers. We never expected this to happen but it’s damn true. The profession of farm management is fast gaining fame. In fact, the agriculture industry has tremendously evolved with dream jobs. People get the opportunity to live in original fresh oxygen for free and also get to eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables while at work. Who does not want it today? Everything is modernized. Machines are used to do all sorts of ploughing, sowing, harvesting, threshing, and so on. The farm managers or farmers wear suits and shirts like businessmen. This thought however jolting is true.

Today people wish to live in villages among the plants and trees but hardly there are any such villages left. Air filters have taken place with air conditioners. People today spend more money on fresh fruits and vegetables than on outside junk. People prefer walking over driving a car. I will now have to switch on the air filters, it is becoming almost suffocating. I had never imagined such things to happen and often wonder, “How things have changed”.

The bystander world on the Taliban insurgency

 It is not only Afghanistan’s government that has surrendered to the insurgency of the Taliban but also the world and humanity have succumbed to the influence of these terrorists. What could be worse than the world being a quiet spectator of the devastation taking place in an entire nation in the twenty-first century? What are the Human Rights organizations doing when it’s time for them to show their presence? The lives of more than 38 million Afghani men and women are in dismay. Their trepidation is evident in the grisly pictures and videos from the Kabul Airport where people could be seen falling to death after they clung to the underbelly of a plane in a desperate attempt to leave their country.  The countries in the world are busy closing their embassies and safely evacuating people from Afghanistan. Some countries accepting Afghanis, as refugees in their county, is a welcome step. However, it is not about a few lakhs of refugees who could take shelter in different parts o...

Death of Democracy legally NO, democratically YES!

There are times when we do something and regret it immediately. There are also times when we regret we did something long back. Some of our steps backfire on us and some of our actions literally mock us. Today is such a day for Mr. Rahul Gandhi. A reluctant politician who was given the job of carrying forward the legacy of his family, of leading the Congress party and the nation. The man who has immense courage to take up all the trolling and criticism. Pappu as people popularly call him. Yet again, stand in the parliament and give a speech, just to be criticized and trolled right after it ends. The man is no longer a  parliamentarian. Rahul Gandhi's conviction which followed his disqualification came as a big shock for most of us. For sure, it is the most exciting news for any common Indian news viewer. The mere thought that one of the biggest politicians, the so-called PM face of the Congress party was convicted in a petty defamation case by a district court is startling. Well, n...

The proposed population control bill and the brewing politics.

 Uttar Pradesh state law commission has come up with a new draft proposing a new law which is no exception to political backlash and controversy. No matter what the law is, if it is drafted in the state of Uttar Pradesh, it will be an alarm for political discourse in the entire nation. This time the most populous state is preparing to reduce its fertility rate to control its increasing population. Uttar Pradesh alone accounts for a thumping population of two hundred thirty million which, is equivalent to the combined population of Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. The government has released the first draft of the Uttar Pradesh Population Control Bill, which is open to public suggestions. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while unveiling the new population policy, made it clear that the government aims to bring down the birth rate from the present 2.7% to 2.1% by 2026 and 1.9% by 2030. The population control bill talks, in length, about the incentives for those who limit their...
