It is indeed tragic that most Indians across generations are groomed from their formative years to subscribe to a flawed interpretation of the Karma theory and the caste system built on a fatalistic premise, which assumes without second thought that whatever happens (or does not happen) is the outcome of our good or bad karmaDr. B.

Literacy is the ability to read and write, while education, which is the broader concept, refers to the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and values. Having said that, both fetch measurable value if and only if they are used to help make others literate and educated!
Education, like health,is yet a formidable challenge for the people at the bottom of the pyramid. Let's take a pledge on 'International Literacy Day' to do our bit to make them literate such that they are inspired to become educated!
