Right to Education Act

The recently validated Right to Education Act is certainly a long overdue measure that would go a long way in ensuring that the children of the underprivileged and deprived sections of society will at long last have access to quality education that was being denied to them ever since India gained independence and will end their years of dependence on municipal and government schools if the act is strictly implemented according to the letter and spirit of the law as envisaged by both the honourable Supreme Court of India and the Human Resource Development Ministry. But as usual, there is already a flip side to this well intentioned and well thought out constitutionally valid act with the managements of a significant majority of private schools already rising up in arms against the act and expressing their dismay at their holier than thou institutions being desecrated by the presence of children belonging to the deprived sections of society. I only wonder why these imbeciles don't realise the fact that the right to education is an universally recognised right the world over and that they are in contempt of the law by denying children this basic right. I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that this right or more specifically the unbiased application and implementation of this right would go a long way towards ushering in a social revolution in this country and ending centuries of exploitation and ostracism and we owe it to ourselves and our future generations to see that education is a right enjoyed by everybody irrespective of caste, creed, religion, economic or social status and nobody whatsoever has the right to deprive a child of this intrinsic right and this long overdue measure if implemented without fear or favour,affection or ill will could also serve to rid us of the scourge of reservations for minorities and scheduled castes and tribes by ensuring an equal and level playing field for all sections of society; so do set aside your time warped thinking and age old prejudices and do come out in strong support of this well intentioned and meaning act after all we owe it to both ourselves and our future generations........
