Dear Prabhakar Sir and others,
The free culture concept a natural phenomena, if you think India in a deeper context. Because many reasons, and foreign invasion, and post independence early rulers myopian thinking, India accepted a kind of helplessness and hopelessness. These feelings will naturally lead to a fantasy creation in them. The fantasy or magical thinking is what I termed as Cinderella syndrome. This Cindrella syndrome will have all the ideas of free culture. Or it could be due to pervasive feeling of anger, what they have about the system. 'The system is unfair', then why I can't be unfair- leads to an attitudinal problem, where arrogance originates. Probably slowly its changing-Kejriwal is that kind of change and hope starts. NAMO is also an option. MTC Global is also a platform for this thinking, where we are discussing. Let us wait and see.

Dear All,
As I understand 'free culture' means getting services/good/provisions at no cost or at a very
low subsidized costs.
In fact, free culture is desirable for those who are economically, socially, education-wise
are weak. Morally those who are strong in terms of money power, education, socially high
status, etc., need to keep away from free culture.
In India all classes from ordinary or poor to affluent class have a mind set to exploit the
free culture. Let us see how:
1.
Affluent class or upper middle class invest lakhs of Rs in coaching their kids in famous
coaching classes in Kota, Hyderabad and other places and secure 80-90% admissions in IITs,
IIMs, NITs, MBBS, Govt. institute that charge comparatively very low tuition fees compared to
private institutes.
2.
Now let us see how the financial load is transferred to public funding without regards to type
of institute- public or private- and capacity to bear the costs by parents. SC/ST (20%)get
scholarship, fees, etc., as per Constitution, OBC and Minority (30%) get fees concession to be
borne by Govt., and we have EBCs. It is expected that a large number of OBCs and EBCs produce
fake income certificates putting burden on public funding. Private institutes are required to
admit 10% students under Tuition Fees Waiver Scheme. Then we have several scholarships by
minority or community or NGOs. It will not be wrong to state that hardly there are 20%
students who pay tuition fees from their pockets.
3.
Coaching class culture has affected Indian education sector badly. Coaching classes are the
factories that churn out candidates like a mechanical gadget only focusing on higher score,
examination technique,at a very high cost but giving no true training. Hence, right from 10th
to 12th standard students are away from institute (low attendance), teaching in schools and
junior colleges has almost come to a halt, and on the other hand we boast of credit system and
continuous and comprehensive assessment!
5.
This culture is further enhanced in Higher Education. Minimum teaching, easy question papers,
getting a degree as if it is a right. I propose a topic for PhD: The nature of question papers
in the last five years at UG/PG level in India. I am shocked that many question papers are
worst, like, 'Write any three questions from each section', Define or Explain more that 12
bits in a paper, shabby diagrams, wrong units, in one PG paper you have two solve 2 questions
from each section (i.e., one question carries 25 marks)and question reads like this "State the
features of Manufacturing Management", and now we have introduced 80+20 pattern, with
practicals, seminars, projects, etc that boosts up %.
Given the situation, can we offer World Class education to our youths?
Regards.
Yours,
